T.V. series on VaishnavismT.V. series on Vaishnavism A Televison series on Vaishnavism is nearing completion By Bhargava das (ACBS 1971) This is a project that Srila Prabhupada approved of and contributed ideas to. It is a privately owned and funded cultural series called Faces of God showing the Indian people practicing Vaishnavism. There are twelve half hour episodes, two hours on Vishnu, one on Rama, three on Krishna and included is a short segment on Shiva, Ganesh and Devi. It is a journey to the holy places, festivals and miraculous happenings connected to these forms. The shooting and editing are finished. Music is still needed, possibly a new narrator, sound sweetening and formatting for cable, satellite and broadcast. Estimated costs about Ten thousand dollars. More important to the success of the project is the need for corporate sponsors as a series this long on this subject needs to be subsidized in order to get a carrier like Discovery or National Geographic to supply suficient time slots for broadcasting it. This is an especially great opportunity for successful Indian corporate owners and executives to give something spiritual and valuable from their ancient wisdom culture to a world that needs it. On the academic side GarudaPrabhu has consented to help with the project. Cheena Jeer one of the main achariyas from the SriSampradaya has endorsed the project along with the prestigious Hindu America Foundation. Although it is not a direct ISKCON project a number of prominent devotees have financially contributed to the project knowing its great value and that it was something Srila Prabhupad wanted produced. To name a few Gopal Krishna Swami, Bhakti Charu Swami. Radhanath Swami, Gopal BhattaPrabhu, Druta Karma prabhu, Muralivadana prabhu, NistrigunyaPrabhu, Drupadi dasi, Kalpalatika dasi and others. The additional funding is still needed and if any one out there can contribute it would be a great oppertunity for service to a non political devotional project that all the different Vaishnava groups could benifit from. As mentioned I also am looking for contrabutions of soft tabla and mellow Sitar music that can be used behind the narration, Separate flute tracks and any thing instrumental for background music (mellow on the drums). For those that do not know me, I was an ISKCON Press BBT photographer from 1970 till 1980 many of my photos have appeared in Back to Godhead, Most of the Holy Place photographs that are in the Chaitanya Charitamrita where taken by me. I also documented SrilaPrabhupad during his travels through Europe, Africa, the U. S. and India. Most recently over seventy of the photographs used in the India book written by Satyaraj and published by the BBT were taken by me. Inquiries can be made to Bhargavadas at Nitaimedia P. O.

It is worth mentioning that Town had organized an event named “Gilbert Faith Group Summit” on Nov 5 attended by me. Mayor, Council Member Jenn Daniels, Town Manager George Petit and several other speakers were offered blessed garlands from Sri Sri Radha MadhavaHari Dham, which they wore gladly though out the meeting.

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare” with both hands rose, when requested by me during the Prayer offereing before taking meals. Krishna Consciousness at funeral: Ken Jeffers, a preacher of Baha’i faith carried his journey to upper world.

Tejnath Paudel: For many centuries, Varanasi has been the center of the advaitavada, but now the acintya-bheda-abheda system is getting recognition there. After concluding his post-graduation as a gold-medalist in 2006, Bhakta Demian - a Brazilian devotee- pursued a doctorate program, having as the main subject Lord Caitanya’s acintya-bheda-abheda-tattva philosophy according to the commentary ‘Govinda-bhasya’ written by Baladeva Vidyabhusana. In this research work, Demian substantiated the authenticity and relevance of the gaudiya school of Vedanta, and elaborated on the distinguished philosophical conclusions presented by Baladeva. He defended his thesis on the 11th of this month before a committee of scholars headed by Dr. R.C. Panda, the principal of the Sanskrit Faculty at Banaras Hindu University. During a one hour presentation and debate in spoken Sanskrit, he answered many questions, and at the end was highly congratulated by all. They particularly appreciated the nature of the topic and its depth, admitting that Lord Caitanya’s system occupies an eminent place in the history of philosophy and religion. The presentation was recorded and can be watched in his blog: www.bkdemian.blogspot.comMore Recent Articles |
