In 2012, he generously donated the amount of money needed for hiring a professional studio to get all the 300 tapes digitized. That is when Mr Ashank Desai, who was very passionate about Nisargadatta Maharaj, stepped in. But there was only so much Vanaja Aunty could do on her own to digitize the tapes. Once digitized, the audio was sent to me for restoring and cleaning. Ms Vanaja (who has always been the financier for M’s work) helped us procure all necessary equipment’s and I set up the system wherein she could digitize the audio. Since I am a sound engineer and specialize in audio restoration and digitization, I had the technical expertise to make sure the restoration was carried out in a professional manner. When Aj mentioned the tapes to me I at once got involved in the process of restoring the tapes. Aj visited a few audio studios in Mumbai, however none of them wanted to undertake the tedious task or their asking price was very high. ![]() ![]() Aj and Ms.Vanaja had been trying to digitize and restore Maharaj’s old tapes for some months. I was introduced to her in 2005 by my friend Aj (not his real name, he wants to be anonymous), who has great love and respect for Maharaj. ![]() She has recorded over 300 cassette tapes. She carried her tape recorder and dutifully recorded Nisargadatta Maharaj’s talks every day. I am happy to share the restored & cleaned audio talks & MP3 of Nisargadatta Maharaj with everyone. ![]()
