To Rosetta about spiral binding of Swami's books (was To Swamiji on

[Guest guest]

Dear Linda,

 

Linda - we don't need to make a copy of a book to get it spiral bound - the xerox shops

(like Kinko's, Office Depot) spiral bind the book as it is and as you said it works very well

for chanting...wherever we are!

 

If we make photo copies of the book/(s), i think it violates laws in U.S....also it is cheaper

to just get the book spiral bound AND it is better for Earth Mother, is it not? :-) Jai Maa!

 

Good luck with binding and wish you beautiful chanting! Jai MAA!
