Sorry for this late reply. I was away from home and not checking my mails. I can't trust my memory, but I think a friend of yours told me about you and was eager to take the escapist route to the Ashram. Anyway, welcome back to the world of technology. Coming to my suggestions, well, isn't commiting to memory and chanting part of what you planning to teach? I know several people who have memorised entire 18 chapters of the "holy" book and mantras are chanted from memory and not read. Feel free to write for the address of the people who produce books of your interest in Braille once you have learnt Braille, they send the books free of cost. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rishi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "accessindia" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 4:15 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Learning Braille in Pune.
