Dear devotees, disciples of Sri Babaji,
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Sri Babaji! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
This app seems to be the piece that was missing among the applications. Although I haven’t tried it yet I believe it will be very nicely put together as all the developed applications are.
Music is an integral part of the Vaisnava tradition. My experience is that the sweet devotional songs composed by the acarias and the ancient Vedic hymns help revive our god consciousness and fill us with immediate bliss. I invite every one out there who has not tried to chant these sweet melodies to give it a try. Find yourself a quite place and spiritualise it by chanting. The bliss derived from such melodies is proportional to the devotion you put in.

The download seems to be getting cut off after 30 – 50 mb has been downloaded. Not sure if I’m the only one having this problem.

Dear Uddhava Dasa

This download link is very very slow and it still stops after a while.

If you use a download manager like Speed Download for Mac you can get five times the download speed. I think for PC you can use FlashGet.

Flashget (download manager for windows) is available here: http://flashget.com/index_en.html
To unzip (decompress) a file, right click on the file, scroll down to “extract all”, and it will guide you through the process. (delete the “zipped” or compressed file to save disk/HDD space).
Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to Sri Babaji! All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
