I have a friend who is living in very humble circumstances, and I've

given him a few of my old originial copies (circa 1989-90) of Amma

bhajan tapes...

 

Anyway, he REALLY LIKES the OLD AMMA BHAJAN TAPES - if anyone has some

of those old copies they would like to sell to me cheaply, I am open to

buying any numbers.

 

 

 

Dear Karen ~ I have been looking for copies of the bhajanamritam tapes,

which were the first ever issued by the M.A. Center. I only have two, and I love

them both. I thought my sister had some, but she only had one and wasn't

willing to let it go, even for me to copy. LOL Fortunately, it was one of the

two

tapes I already had.

 

Recently, I wrote to the M.A. Center bookstore to ask if these tapes were

still available, and received an answer that they were no longer being offered

because the quality was so poor. Perhaps compared to today's CD recording

standards that is true, but the two I have are of very good quality. Perhaps if

the M.A. Center got lots of letters about selling these tapes again, they

would consider it. Write and tell them about your friend. The website did say

at

one point that the Amritamjali tapes will also be discontinued in two years,

but the site no longer says that. Maybe they got lots of letters. : )

 

The bhajanamritam series was some of the best music offered for purchase,

and perhaps because it was early on, the tapes were very simple, and in this

simplicity were so beautiful. Also they are from the "early days," which gives

them a special significance. Letter writers, pen in hand ... shall we have a

write-in campaign to bring these back?

 

Jai Ma ~ Linda P.S. Some people have had luck finding some of the older

Amma items on ebay. It's always worth a try.
