Removal of Krishna Preme's upanyaasams

Dear Sir,

I am Muralidharan, Trustee of Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangam, Bangalore, Founded by Sri Sri Krishna Premi Swamigal. While I was browsing through the Web, I found a link to your blogsite (http://arvindsdad.blogspot.com/search/label/Krishna Preme)

wherein you have posted lots of audio tracks / upanyasams of sri sri anna, which are all holding copyrights from the respective trusts like Sri Krishna Premamrutham, Sri Vaishnava Sabha & Sri Brahma sabha all founded and headed by Sri Sri Anna himself. Hence openly posting them online without proper permission from the respective trust is a breach of copy right and hope you will remove them with immediate effect.

Although I do agree that this is a great service for those residing outside , but I do believe that all those people clamouring for more of the Audios here are well to do enough to buy these CDs/DVDs , the proceeds of which go down to various dharmas / kainkaryas that sri sri anna is doing on a day to day basis, like running of goshala ( caring for cows which have been left behind by their earlier owners), running of veda patashala at paranur, giving regulr donations to divya desams which are in a very dilapidated conditions etc. There are innumerable such activities under taken by our beloved Guru, which are being funded from the proceeds received from the sales of such CDs/DVDs.

Hence it is my earnest request to you sir, to please take back all the uploads and provide an opportunity to these bhaktas to purchase the CDs and thereby also be a part of the dharmas being done by our beloved guru.

Also I would like to take this opportunity to appeal to all bhakthas and bhavukas to kindly purchase the CD/DVD rather than clamour for more of such unethical uploads on websites.

With sweet sweet radhekrishna

P.Muralidharan

Dear Mr. Muralidharan,

I did not copy them from commercial CDs. They were sent to me by one of my readers. However, as requested by I will remove the same within 24 hours.I am sorry for the inconvenience caused.

With greetings

Hariharan

Dear Mr. Muralidharan,

You have every right to voice your concern about Sir's postings., but i request you to kindly refrain from using words like unethical/ clamour etc.. You have not even given the mode for buying these stuffs. In fact you could have requested Sri. Vaidhyanathan for selling the Cds/ DVds through his blog itself as thousands of people read his blogs.

Regards
Manikandan Iyer

Dear Manikandan - I am fully agree with your comments regarding usage of words like "like unethical/ clamour etc" In fact those who are involved in Divine activities should be much more careful in the selection of words and they should be humble in their appeal otherwise the whole purpose of their divine activies will be defeated. They should know that to err is human and God is Divine. They should practise this before preaching others.

People who are inclined to do charity need not purchase CDs/DVDs to do that. Copy rights are commercial rights. So the arguments for not posting them in this blog are not correct. If it should not be offered free, and commercial rights are violated, tell that plainly. Mr Hariharan is not here to harm anybody's commercial interests. Persons who are really interestedin hearing SRI SRI ANNA can get it in so many ways. After digital medium is transferable freely. All the more Mr. Hariharan is not selling the contents of the CD/DVD for his personal benefits or with any commercial interest. Loosers are innocent bhakthas.

I agree with everybody. Mr.Muridharan (Trustee of Akhila Bharatha Sadhu Sangam)being a great devotee of sri anna still does not know how to be polite.I think sri anna's teachings has not made any differences in him.Moreover,he should not have used offensive language to Hari sir.

I feel people who hold position in some charitable organisation can only think about monetary gains. Over a period of time they become insensitive. Before making any statements of this kind they should investigate the intention of the blogger. Shri hariharan sir is rendering a great and selfless service to all bhakthas and music lovers. Frankly 


speaking I did not know sri sri anna (krishna premee) 


before. I came to know only when i became a fan and 


follower of this blog. I started listening to the discourses 


and enjoyed it. I am now one of the followers of shri 


Anna. I give entire credit to shri hariharan sir for introducing such great personalities in our life through this blog.I think many people like me staying in different cities accross the country are greatful to shri hariharan sir for such valuable services to all music lovers and devotees. Thanks.....

You guys first try to be more magnanimous rather than fining fault with some words Muralidharan used. His real intention was to impress you on the fact these recordings are copy righted.
thank you

Radhae krishna to Shri Hariharan,
Appreciate the service you are rendering to all music lovers all over the world.

Pl recall the mail sent by Shri.Muralidharan of Bangalore and your commitment to remove Sri Anna(Sri Krishna Premi swamigal's )pravachanams from the blog.
Request you to kindly remove them at the earliest.We can provide the bhaktas with the addresses and contacts to purchase the Cds.

Thankyou for the support.
