Cybertalk: Part 6 of 7 - Continuing Bodhinatha's first Guru Purnima class on the role of the guru and his task of helping us improve our behavior, Bodhinatha talks about the importance of moving beyond belief and into experience in religion. Hinduism gives us the tools to experience what we believe in. Hinduism is all about becoming a more and more spiritual person. The second remedy for anger is to put $5 in a jar every time we get angry. This can get really expensive! If you can afford that, it might work better to fast the next meal instead. There is also a devotional remedy, to sincerely worship Lord Ganesha.

About the Options
We are only serving one, high quality, MP3 audio file which is named "soundclip.mp3" which is used by both links above. The first, "Real Audio" link downloads the "soundclip.ram" file, which points to that same "soundclip.mp3" file. If you have Real One Player installed, the normal behavior is for Real Player to start streaming the audio. The second link above is linked directly to "soundclip.mp3". Its behavior will depend on your browser configuration. If you have Quicktime installed, it may start streaming immediately. Depending on your bandwidth there could be gaps and delays. If you hold control-key or right click on the link you may also download it directly to your hard drive and play it with your favorite sound application. For those with lo-bandwidth, this allows you to listen to it later without any gaps or delays. Note that if you are saving these audio files you will need to rename the file yourself on your hard drive. Otherwise, if you download audio later, it will have the same filename ("soundclip.mp3") and overwrite the previous talk by the same name.
