Luthar Amandananda Chanting Dear Satsangh Leader, I greatly enjoyed the recording of the Arunachala Shiva chant you sent two days ago. I found it profoundly beautiful and fascinating, it was a great joy to hear your voice speak and sing to us. Hearing the chant was like seeing the sun come up over the Ganges river (of course, I have never actually seen the sun come up over the Ganges river, but at least, hearing the chant felt like what I imagine seeing the sun dawn on the Ganges must feel like. ) I am writing this note as the words have reached me that you are somewhat unhappy about your voice. This is something I cannot understand as your voice carried the chant and most importantly of all, the meaning of the chant, with great efficency. It was not difficult to hear the love and devotion in your voice and the good intention with which you shared this recording. Please send more recordings in the future as the first one was highly appreciated. Thank you very much for sending. ---- end of note--- >Arunachala Shiva was written by Ramana Maharshi for his devotees.

The chant ties well in with the beautiful story of the professor's change at Arunachala. I feel quite privileged to be able to hear it. Also, I very well understand your reaction to hearing the chant for the first time. It is beautiful. I don't know much about Sanskrit chants, but there was something about the regularity of rythm and harmony of melody that made me like this a lot. This is what I intended to say in my first and rather off hand comment, but somehow didn't manage to express properly. Thank you again for sharing with us. Love, Amanda.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2000 Report Share Posted May 11, 2000 Hi Linda. Enjoying your posts. You had asked about whether it is possible through the internet for several people to chant together. I don't know about that. I do know that everyone can easily send their voice across like the internet like I did. Perhaps others here will sing for us. Love Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love Harsha The present delays of the Internet would make singing together more like a canonical work But if the computer is equipped with a soundcard that can simultaneously play and record wav files, it is possible to simulate chanting together.
