Guest guest Posted April 8, 2000 Report Share Posted April 8, 2000 Dear Kusha Deviji, I have no objection to taping of my lectures, which would benefit one and all, but I am afraid that the students will stop writing and taking notes. Persoanl effort would become zero and then the learning will be poor. Perhaps I can agree to Dinanath doing this as he is sincere. Earlier Ashok and others taped the lectures, but there were no transcripts made. Thus, I asked them to discontinue it. I am telling Ashok to make copies of the tapes of earlier classes that Dinanath can send to you. Let us see if something comes out of this. At the moment I am having some financial problems with very high expenses having overtaken the fledling personal economy. The telephone bills have risen from Rs 300 to Rs 4000 and so have so many other costs. That is why I am not using the internet at all. Only a very few messages like this are being sent when I have to. The costs of SJVC itself are very high and prohobitive with rent at Rs 5000 and costs of Purohit for daily pooja and Manager at Rs3000 and so many other costs like electricity etc. I am not good in business and that is why all these problems result. The cheque for Car instalment (Rs 3300) bounced last month and somehow I was able to arrange the money. Honestly, with all this what Jyotish will I do? When the mind is not peaceful, creative work cannot be done. That is why I said that I would be off teaching for sometime. I am doing some planning and rethinking and will come out with alternative solutions very soon.
