Dear Rasikas:

This folder contains the contents of the CD titled "AMS Easy Methods 2007" 
authored by Sri. Akella Malikarjuna Sharma. 

During the last year, Sharmaji had put in a lot of effort in adding new content. In this significantly expanded 
edition there are now 481 audio files and 15 PDF files. There are new sections on gamaka and kampita and the songs are 
notated using the exhaustive list of gamaka and kampita notations that Sharmaji has devised.

The PDF files are in English. Sharmaji has provided the Telugu translations. Attempts are being made to translate them 
into Kannada, Malayalam and Tamil. Once they are available, they will be uploaded to this folder.

Sharmaji is offering this as a free download to everyone.
 
The contents are copyrighted by Akella Mallikarjuna Sharma. If you share these files with anyone else,
please make sure that this file is included in the distribution. 

If you would like to purchase the CD, the cost is $2.00/Rs.50. 

As Sharmaji wrote at rasikas.org ( http://www.rasikas.org/viewtopic.php?id=2498 ) 

"..As the Alimighty had very kindly blessed me with what I possess now I am able to serve 8:43 PM 4/11/2008
our brothers and sisters. More over, I do not want  to insist upon paying even this amount. 
If they are really benefitted by that I give it free of charges and I remain extremely happy 
by this..I wish the aspirants of our Karnataka music must be fed with as much as we can. 
Along with all other people like you I am also able to do the part of my service to the 
cause of our Music..."

I mentioned to him that as per our customory cultural practice, if a teacher/student/rasika wants to send a 
voluntary guru dhakshina, he needs to provide contact information for that purpose. Sharmaji has agreed to 
that as long it is 100% voluntary.
