Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 Thanks Dennis for your kind support. I will pass on this request to Shree Balan, Secretary and to H.H. Swami Dheeranandaji, president of the CMWRC. I will try to do my part - talk loud enough for the mike to pick up the sound! If anybody else in this list would like to have the audiotapes - please send your requests directly to Shree Balan, Secretary of CMWRC - sbalan - so that he will have some idea how many are really interested. He needs some idea of the number so that he can make the necessary plans to invest people and machines for that purpose. Harshaji can you announce this in your list and other lists that deal with Bhagavan Ramana’s Teachings. Hari OM!
