Re: First Gramophone recording
namaste RVR.
Welcome to HDF! I also read somewhere long back that the Germans, when told that chanting the stotra 1,008 times continuously would make the Goddess appear, played it on a tape record (which stotra I don't remember, perhaps LalitA sahasranAma). On the last round, the tape smouldered and the powder that fell out had arranged itself in the form of the Goddess!
रत्नाकरधौतपदां हिमालयकिरीटिनीम् ।
ब्रह्मराजर्षिररत्नाढ्यां वन्दे भारतमातरम् ॥
To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
