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 ?
NamO  Swami DesikAya ,
V.Sadagopan
