Dr. Radha - best wishes. Sounds like a great program.
I have a general question for you: Do you record (audio and/or video) the programs that Mudhra organizes? It would be lovely if they were, and made available (commercially) to the hordes that missed the live program...

I second rshankar. It will be of great help to those living in other countries and are not fortunate to witness the entire program. Even clippings of video version in youtube will be of immense help.
