Audio Books from Audible.com

Saturday, February 14th, 2009

My husband, Amit recently introduced me to Audible.com. This website has audio books that you can download for a very reasonable price to your mp3 player.

My son has fallen in love with audio books and so, this is a great find for us. We are going to India next week and we have downloaded 2 of his favorite books: “Llama, llama Red Pajama” and “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”. Hopefully, this will ease our flight to India a bit. Audible.com has a special section for kids and you can search audio books for kids by age as well.

Spiritual Message to The World by Mahatma Gandhi

Tuesday, November 29th, 2005

Mahatma Gandhi is the Father of India. He was a great soul who led us to freedom from British Empire by non-violence means. He was a spiritual soul. In fact, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was his spiritual guide.

Today, I came across his Audio Interview on 17 October 1931 recorded in Kinglsey Hall, London. When I heard his speech, I could hear the impression that Shri Mataji had made on Mahatma Gandhi. His speech reflects Shri Mataji’s teachings.

If you are interested you can hear it here:
Mahatma Gandhi giving a spiritual message to the world (6 min 5)

Note: You will need RealPlayer to listen to this Audio Interview. If you want you can download RealPlayer.
