U-PREACH TV: Mayapur.tv adds new powerful online free service for Iskcon preachers! Updated
The devotees responsible for www.mayapur.tv have gone a step further and developed an online streaming service that offers concrete advantages for ISKCON temples and preachers who want to cultivate, strengthen and increase their congregation in an effective way U-PREACH TV: New powerful online free service for Iskcon preachers by Mayapur.tv! Updated
By Citraka dasa Many of you may be aware that in the Mayapur.tv website there are already two channels broadcasting on 24/7 basis. One is the feed coming from the Sridhama Mayapur’s continuous transcendental stream of local vibrations and images and the other one is from a playlist of thousands prerecorded videos depicting Iskcon’s life - playlist that switches automatically to scheduled live broadcasts when these go online like the crystal clear Los Angeles temple’s broadcast, London’s temple ones and others. But now the unprecedented utility of a third channel has been added on the site enabling ALL Iskcon preachers to broadcast their programs and extend their association towards their congregational members and to an ever increasing world wide audience in a simple and free way! This service is meant to fullfill two needs: the need of those vaishnavas who find themselves geografically unable to reach Iskcon temples regularly and desire to have always available - in one place - opportunity for live sadhu-sanga and the need of spiritual leaders, gurus, travelling or local preachers for a simple venue meant for extending their association in an audio-visual way. Wherever in the world one is, whatever time of the day or night it is, one can simply visit the site and check if there are live broadcasts of some other vaishnava, temple, congregation group and join in! Or, vice-versa, wherever his preaching engagements carry an international preacher to, with a simple computer connected to internet and a webcam he can come to the site and start broadcasting his class for the benefit of all - either for his followers that can have been given notice in advance for the online event and come timely or any other soul that happens to be that moment on the site!  This new channel can be accessed by the U-PREACH TV link of the Mayapur.tv website. Clicking the link: will open the control panel on the right bar that will reveal the option either to watch a live event or initiate a broadcast. When you push the “CLICK HERE TO VIEW BROADCASTS” button you will see in the white field below all the live streams online at that moment and by clicking in any of them you will start watching them on the player on the left. For those devotees instead that would like to initiate their own broadcast all they have to do is click on the”MAKE A BROADCAST” button which will reveal the broadcasting panel after you type name and password (supplied by submiting a request to info@iskconlife.org ) By clicking the eyball icon will enable your webcam and by clicking on the loudspeaker icon will enable your microphone. Once enabled click on the “PLAY ONLY” button and you should be able to see your stream on the player live - and not only you but the whole world :-) Regarding the “PLAY AND RECORD” button is a feature that will be available soon. Your video will be recorded and the file will be uploaded in a pubblic service like blip.tv, vimeo etc. Also there is the chat via text available that enables you to interact with your pubblic. So dear devotees if either you are seeking to have live association with other devotees from Srila Prabhupada’s family, any time and wherever you are simply come to Mayapur.tv website and will always be a variety of Krishna conscious streams available, ALL IN ONE PLACE!! Or if you want to put your temple’s program or your congregation’s online you can now use this simple and free facility, no ads, and with the best option to have a large interested audience attending!! —————————–
With the expansion of broadband internet and the availability of broadcast streaming services over the last few years, many ISKCON preachers and temples have begun to use the internet to extend their association. Free services like Usteam.tv and others are now regularly used to host live broadcasts of ISKCON temple programs and preaching engagements targeted towards larger internet audiences. Also many temples have established 24/7 webcasting of their temple activities through live streaming video and audio. This development has been proved very useful for the many vaishnavas that do not have the good fortune of being ashrama residents. But the devotees responsible for www.mayapur.tv have gone a step further and developed an online streaming service that offers concrete advantages for ISKCON temples and preachers who want to cultivate, strengthen and increase their congregation in an effective way. This service is FREE and available now online to all Iskcon devotees! You only need a computer with a broadband internet connection. In this facility each country, each temple have their own “channel” and the local administrators have complete control of the participants and of when and what is shown there. There is live public interaction amongst the members through text, audio and video. Each devotee can activate and show his webcam to others, however only the admin defines what is shown in the main window - watched by all - which can be the temple program or an invited speaker who gives the class from his home through his webcam. This tool is aimed specifically for the members of a local temple congregation - not as an “open to all” broadcast aimed towards an impersonal, unknown audience. Those that come to watch have to login, with their login info provided by the admin of the channel. It thus offers a personal and interactive participation online in the local morning programs in a way that tangible results can be achieved and measured. These programs have been going on for some time now in some countries like UK, and the results have shown clear benefits for all concerned: 1) The members of the congregation are encouraged to wake up early and chant their rounds, watch mangal arotika, gurupuja, have Deity darshan and listen to the class but with no time restriction of any kind - one logs in and logs out according to his/her convenience. The program operates generally from 4:30 am to 8:30am. 2) The members of the congregation develop closer relations with the devotees of the temple and amongst themselves. 3) The members of the congregation feeling grateful for this service aimed specifically towards them they reciprocate with offering services and economic support for their temples. 4) Some older devotees that do not live close to the temple are encouraged to give classes from their homes and thus preach more. 5) The temple devotees feel more enthused in their temple functions knowing that their association is been extended towards the congregation through the net with sometimes double the devotees in the temple participating from home. 6) The temple authorities are inclined to start and maintain the streaming service as they see tangible results coming in from their congregational members in the form of spiritual improvement, better relations, more service and financial support. 7) Many gurus, leaders, preachers, that for health or other reasons find it difficult to travel, can still have interactive contact with their followers from their home-base. 8) The use of this tool is simple, does not require complicated arrangements, all the technical part is being taken care of already. So How Does It Work? Here are some screenshots of the setup and functions of this tool: First you write to info@iskconlife.org to get a username and password.
You point your browser to: http://iskconlife.org/ click on login and login with the information provided to you.
Depending if you are a simple member or admin of a channel you will see different panels. Here is what a simple member will see if he logs in for example in the UK channel: The left bar shows all the devotees present, in the middle top is the speaker lecturing, below is the public chat via text. Underneath the left bar of the “Devotees Online”, if one has a webcam, is sufficient to push the eyeball icon in order to activate it as also the speaker icon to activate his microphone. For example here it is how it looks when the webcam and mike of the user citraka is activated: Now if some of the other participants wanted to see the webcam of that user all he has to do is click on his name in the list and this user’s webcam would show on the right bar but ONLY to him (the one who clicked the name): Now if the admin of the channel wished he could activate the webcam of that user to be shown in the main screen for ALL participants: Or, as admin I could choose to show to those in my channel an other feed from the streams live at that moment, using this panel of control visible only to the admin: and I could determine the main window to be for example the stream from Mayapur:
So this way the administrator of a channel has complete control of what his congregation is watching, he can interact with each member as also he can assign several levels to each of them. Here is the control panel for the administrators, using which they can add or delete users and assign them different levels like: Normal, Allowed to use private chat, Allowed to give class, Local Admin, Regional Admin etc. There are other options that the administrator manages, like choosing to follow an other Nama Hatta group and therefore watch what they are watching etc. However for the simple members the whole function is quite simple, all he has to do is to login and start watching, that’s all! This software is under constant development, improvements and new features are added every day, with the goal to be made more and more user friendly and useful. Now this service is available to all the devotees by the ISKCON Mayapur’s technical team as a tool to facilitate the cultivation of your congregational development and the preaching mission of Srila Prabhupada.

The nearly 420 participants were mostly university or college students and their teachers (about 300), whereas the rest were mainly researchers, environmental activists, interested intellectuals, etc. Second Sustainability Conference in HungarySecond Sustainability Conference in Hungary
By Andras Kun and György Kirs Second Sustainability Conference in Hungary - Organized by Eco-valley Foundation and Krishna-valley The issues of climate change and sustainability in practice have not been at all less popular than last year. In pursuance of our first conference’s success in 2008 we organized our second Sustainability Conference where more than double number of guests showed up in comparison with last year. The nearly 420 participants were mostly university or college students and their teachers (about 300), whereas the rest were mainly researchers, environmental activists, interested intellectuals, etc. The process of climate change is indicated by severe extremities of the weather. This assumption had been confirmed by the high storm-wind arriving just two days before the conference. It damaged the top-quality conference tent set up in Krishna-valley. Fortunately, as the forces of nature acted two days prior to the event, we had enough time to find a new venue and inform about the changes the more than four hundred registered guests. Owing to the hospitability of Hotel Azúr in Siófok we had an absolutely comfortable place to listen to the varied presentations of the conference. Afterwards, the participants had time to travel to Somogyvámos and in separate groups with one leader each visit Krishna-valley, about which they had heard so much during the day. One of the most inspiring things about the event was that some university and college students were not merely “students” any more, but lecturers as well. It was quite difficult to choose four presentations out of the twenty dissertations that are in progress regarding the Eco-valley Programme. The programme of the conference was arranged so that internationally well-known researchers, professors and their students, furthermore, the leaders of Krishna-valley, who are practicing sustainable economy and lifestyle every single day, get their turns successively. The patron of conference, the academician Gábor Vida pointed out that the footprint of humanity nowadays considerably surpasses the true capacity of the Earth. Therefore, “sustainable development” in the sense of “sustainable growth” is merely a quixotic illusion.
Sivarama Swami introduced the community as a system based on individuals, which cannot function without the presence of appropriate value system of individuals, i.e. adequate spiritual life. The concept of the holistic approach of sustainability, which was introduced at this conference, states that appropriate value system, knowledge and social order based on spiritual life, as well as an economy operated in consideration of all these factors indicate the bases of sustainability. We heard lectures regarding the importance of eco-villages in connection with sustainability and self-sufficiency given in peers by the leaders of Krishna-valley and university students. Some of the highlighted topics were introduced through the example of the Krishna-valley community. Additionally, there were some lectures on sustainable farming, the results of calculations concerning Krishna-valley’s ecologic footprint and the relation between sustainable society and education.
As part of the conference the representatives of Eco-valley Foundation and participants signed new cooperative documentations with each other. The list of six institutions of higher education from last year is now extended by signatures of a university, a research centre of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and two companies all ready for cooperative partnership and scientific researches.

I have a business that can help devotees make money, but I would prefer to do this for devotees who are willing to dedicate their lives to preaching activities. Mayapur to South Africa
