SrI: Dear Sriman Sudarshan : I have heard so much about your revered Mother's beautiful rendering of Dayaa Sathakam but never got to hear it . I hope I will come across it one day to have the bhAgyam of hearing . We are opening a new web site named NadhOpAsana soon and hopefully , we can house the audio there for all to access and benefit from for times to come . Would it be possible with your help ?
