Radio Global Sai Harmony and its Services

 

The Chairperson of Prashanthi Council (Bro.Michael Goldstein) has

forwarded a memorandum issued by Dr. Venkataraman (who handles Sai

Radio/ websites etc.).

 

The memorandum reads as follows: -

 

"Radio Sai Global harmony is the radio service managed by Prashanthi

Nilayam, and is meant for spreading Swami's Message of Universal

Love to people of all continents. This service is being made

available in many different ways as follows:

 

To the people in Asia, the radio programs are beamed by the Asiastar

satellite of WORLDSPACE, 24 hours a day. This service inaugurated by

Bhagavan Baba on His Birthday in 2001, has been running non-stop

ever since. To people in Africa and Europe, a special service was

launched in April this year, and is available on the Afristar

satellite of WORLDSPACE. This service too runs 24 hours a day. The

programs offered on this channel are not the same as on the Asia

service.

 

Together, both channels carry: Divine Discourse, Bhajans,

Interviews, Talks, Festival Radio Reports, etc. In addition, Radio

Sai brings current news. Efforts are under way to bring this within

12 hours of happening. For example, once these efforts are complete,

a Discourse can be heard all over the world within 12 hours at the

most.

 

For the benefit of people who are not under the foot print of the

WORLDSPACE satellites [especially people in the American Continent,

Caribbean Islands, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji], Radio Sai

offers a web radio service. To receive web broadcasts, one does the

following:

 

- First log on to: http://www.radiosai.org

 

- On the Home page, there are many links. Click LATEST UPDATE

(http://www.radiosai.org/Pages/SongsMP3/MP3Archive.asp).

 

- The ARCHIVE page will then pop up and show a drop down list of

categories of radio programs currently available for download.

 

- The listener then selects the category he or she likes, clicks

DISPLAY; the page will refresh and new data will then be displayed

on that page. You have to scroll down the page to see that new data

for the category you have selected.

 

- Listeners may either play directly from Radio Sai or download

these programs into the listener's hard disc for subsequent use.

Alternately, one can use the playlist tick boxes and select programs

ONE WANTS TO HEAR. The web site will compile these programs and

start streaming them. The listener can just sit back and listen to

the programs on the loudspeaker.

 

Making use of new high-bandwidth facilities being made available

here, efforts are under way to organise a 12-hour special streaming

service to American continent. If this comes through, then a

listener in that continent has to just log on and keep listening!

He/she can do this for 12 waking hours, and every day, there will be

different programs, just as we have on the Asiastar and Afristar

services.

 

The Radio Sai web site has a fortnightly news magazine entitled

HEART TO HEART, (http://www.radiosai.org/journal/) that devotees are

certain to find interesting. This may be viewed by logging on to the

website link underlined in this paragraph above."
