Cybertalk: This morning Bodhinatha spoke following the guru puja held for Gurudeva's 77th jayanti. Bodhinatha shared with us the traditional annual "State of the Church" talk in which he called for 2004 to be "The Year of Japa," a time for members to come current with their daily japa disciplines and all of us to focus more intently on this sadhana. Bodhinatha shared some of the publications that are coming into being this year, as well as Iraivan's progress, noting the capstone will go up in April. He also described the Indian Odyssey Innersearch that is about to begin.

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.
