My Weekend Service to the Lord

My Weekend Service to the Lord

I sincerely believe that this weekend, I have been trying to restrict to activities towards serving His devotees in getting with a good collection of song as well to enable them to view the lyrics.

Whenever, I get some time, I normally listen to 'Sriman Narayana' (Annamacharya) song, which I have downloaded from http://www.balaji.net/ Thanks to the website organizers, that they have given this one and a lot of other audio MP3 as free in public domain at the following URL: http://www.balaji.net/mp3/

We all know, MP3 hosting is really expensive and heavy on the server. We should really thank them for the pains they have taken to bear those and supporting us with those melodious names of the Lord. You can actually get the lyrics of this keerthana here. If you closely recall, that we have actually discussed this sometime back over here too.

Today being weekend and sitting in a remote location (Dallas, TX), I just thought I would try creating a Powerpoint with the lyrics and them embed the music to create a video. My objective were the following:

1. Contribute and support the website http://www.balaji.net/ by adding lyrics to the MP3 which another devotee has helped with.
2. The weekend should be towards the service to the Lotus feet of the Lord.
3. People should be able to listen to the music and also by seeing the lyrics, they can also participate in chanting the names of Him. To chant His names gives so much blessings from Him. It is said by elders that the Lord's name has more kindness and potential to save and bless us in all occasions in relation to the Lord Himself.

After creating a simple video in Windows Movie Maker, I have uploaded the same to Silverlight Streaming of Microsoft Windows Live. Check it out here:

If you wish, you can download the WMV from here for your offline listening. But the original author has taken so much efforts to retain it free for the benefit of His devotees and hence do not try to derive commercial benefits from it. We should join him in his efforts to serve the Lord and His devotees.
