RE: "bhakti and aj~naana"

[Guest guest]

Thanks Dr. Yadu,

 

One small suggestion. The weblinks that you list are very long, and

must be copied and pasted into browsers in order to be read. And even

that might not always work, since carriage returns get pasted into the

browser, thus truncating the URLs.

 

Can you possibly use www.tinyurl.com or some other link-shrinking method

to make these short enough to hyperlink to from your mail message?
