[Advaita-l] 'Chants in Cyberspace' स्वदेशो भुवनत्रयम्

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

Explaining one point. If Purohita is sitting with you and saying
Mantras his voice vibrations will fall on your ears directly. It will
produce very good spiritual effect in you.  If he is saying in mike or
if it is recorded Mantras like CD his voice vibrations are not falling
on our ears. There will not be spiritual effect. This may be reason
for not accepting CD Mantras.
