Swasthani.com Swasthani Ripper

Yesterday I came to know that I can listen Swasthani online at this site, www.swasthani.com and I decided to write a swasthani audio downloader. Since it would be useful for everyone, here is the script.

From the site itself, Sri Swasthani Brata Katha is a very popular ritual observed in Nepal in the Poush month (January – February) during winter. Goddess Sri Swasthani, known to grant wishes of her devotees, is worshipped for the whole month of Poush. The Swasthani Brat Katha (story) is recited everyday. The month long telling of the tales are dedicated to the Goddess and the stories that are mainly narrated are those of Swasthani Devi, Lord Shiva and other Gods.

Save the above file as swasthani, then chmod for executable permission and run it. If you have problem copying above code, you can check the Swasthani Downloader at GitHub. Enjoy listening Swasthani, geeks :)
