rohini108 Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Click on Track 8. This is beyond ecstatic! This played on my laptop without any special player download. Yes, you can listen to them all but trust me ...just click on track 8 (Vaishnava Thakura) and turn up the volume. http://www.gauravani.com/player/xspfmusic.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rohini108 Posted May 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I just went to itunes store and bought the song for 99 cents. Superb! Do a search for "As Kindred Spirits" and it will come up: Vaishnava Thakura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, perfection isn't reached until you play Ohe Vaishnava Thakura on a continuous loop while reading the book indulekhadasi so kindly introduced me to: Sri Caitanya-bhagavata (translated by SarvaBhavana das). I swear, this is even more perfect. The two together are like pure spiritual magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bija Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Gee that's a good book...so simple and so esoteric....the average traveller could miss the sweet sweet nectar. What's going on in the heart when such simple writings give so much satisfaction to the soul... Glad to hear your day has been blessed in devotion:).
