New Talavan Multimedia & Web Preaching
BY: DASANUDAS VANACARI
Dec 12, MISSISSIPPI (SUN) — Dear Devotees, Hare Krsna! All glories to Srila Prabhupada! You may not have heard from us for awhile, but that's because we've been so busy. Not only are we close to repairing the damage from Hurricane Katrina, but we also have some exciting developments to report in the area of multimedia and web-based preaching.
Weblogs and Podcasts
The hottest area on the Internet today is weblogs, or 'blogs,' and podcasts, which are downloadable audio or video programs playable on a computer or portable device such as an Apple iPod. Blogs are extremely popular, and podcasts are one of the best ways to reach the younger, 'wired' online generation. We now operate two multimedia weblog/podcasts:

Blogs are extremely popular, and podcasts are one of the best ways to reach the younger, 'wired' online generation. We now operate two multimedia weblog/podcasts:
Prabhupada-vani
The Prabhupada-vani weblog features a daily different recorded bhajan, kirtan or class by Srila Prabhupada. There is also a podcast feed for downloading the MP3 audio file associated with each blog entry. The lyrics and purport are included in both written and recorded form. The Prabhupada-vani podcast is available on Apple iTunes, the most popular podcast site.
The Esoteric Teaching
The Esoteric Teaching is a preaching program of Vaisnava philosophy aimed at the New Age, yoga and meditation audience. It consists of a website, a video series and a weblog/podcast, Your Perfect Body. Since starting this program, originally on Yahoo Groups three months ago, more than 80 members have started chanting.
eBooks and Music Downloads
I frequently get requests for my books and CDs, all of which are currently out of print. Rather than reprint all the volumes and discs, which would be expensive, I have uploaded them. You can download the complete books and samples of my music CDs from the New Talavan website. There are also links to the online music stores where you can purchase and download the complete CDs.
Sacred Cow Productions
Our New Talavan preaching project, Sacred Cow Productions, now features a complete audio, video, multimedia and Internet production suite with excellent facility for state-of-the art preaching. Project proposals from devotees who want to expand the good reputation of Srila Prabhupada's movement through the arts are encouraged. Our current productions available include:
- Srila Prabhupada 30th Anniversary Festival
- The Esoteric Teaching Introductory Seminar, Part 1
We look forward to continuing and expanding multimedia and web-based preaching at New Talavan. Please feel free to contact us at any time with your suggestions and comments.
Hare Krsna,
your servant
