It shows how aligned you are with the group If you are interested , and anyone else , please let me know. Once Swamiji approves , we can decide how we can approach the work.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Hi Latha-definitely interested! I'd love to learn how to work on sound tracks as outlined. I have this dream of having all my spiritual material on some sort of scrollable MP3 player, where sections are indexed line by line. Imagine if you could scroll down and select a single mantrum at the end of say, Kavach, and just work with that for a while. I know someone who did this kind of thing with a mini-disc recorder and it was quite amazing.
