Cybertalk: A cybercadet in Canada wonders what to do with the excess holy ash accumulated from daily puja. Gurudeva says to give it to friends and family for it is the gift of the Gods. Cybercadet Rolando from Virginia asks if we really have free will. Gurudeva says that in order to evolve we have to make choices and that we are the master of our own destiny. Bill from New York wonders if we should write the good things down when we do Vasana Daha Tantra and burn them up. Gurudeva says that the object of this tantra is to remove the emotion from the memory so that our subconscious mind clears and we have nothing but a bright and happy future. Title: Holy Ash.

message, we would be happy to help you get set up correctly. Please

RealAudio: RealAudio uses "streaming
download" technology. The quality is good, not superior,
but you can listen to
Gurudeva right away while it downloads. Gurudeva's talks
are always provided in RealAudio format, sometimes in more
than one language. To listen to the RealAudio file, you
will need RealPlayer. Click on the icon to the right to download
RealPlayer.
If
you'
re not sure which version of the RealPlayer will work on your computer,
click here.
MPEG Layer 3 Audio:
Sometimes, Gurudeva's talks are also provided in MP3 format.
The MPEG Layer 3 Audio (MP3) format is a standard for high
quality audio on the Internet.
MP3's CD-quality sound is much
clearer than RealAudio and WAV, but the file is larger
and may or may not work well for you in
"streaming mode",
meaning that you may have intermittent pauses, or
may need to wait for the whole file to download
before listening. If listening to Gurudeva as if he is sitting right next
to you means anything, it's worth it.
This option works best for those
with fast Internet connections or those with lots of patience. To download
an MP3 player, click on your operating system:
Mac
or Windows.
(MP3 players for other platforms are
available at the same website.)
WAV:
Gurudeva's daily message is also usually
provided in the Windows WAV format. This
option is not streaming, is significantly lower quality and about
two-thirds the size of MP3. Most Mac and Windows computers have the ability
to play WAV sound files without the need to download additional software.
If you are experiencing problems with skipping or intermittent sound
with the RealAudio streaming download, shift
click here. The entire RealAudio file will be downloaded to your
computer, after which you can open and listen to it with the RealPlayer.
