Spanish Hare Krishna Farm community has a new site… by iskcontech

http://www.nuevavrajamandala.es

We made a few changes to the mp3 section. Since we added a lot of music recently we thought it would be better to group all lectures in a separate folder.

Like this:

In the music section you can find some new additions uploaded by several devotees:

Kirtans by Lokanath Swami

Electro mantra.

Electronic Music with a devotional message from various artists.

For old school rockers you always have the great TK. Titiksava Karunika.

And we even got some ISKCON classics from Golden Avatar Productions. For those who are too young to recognize it, that is a cassette tape and it was used to play and record music by your father.

Several devotees requested a faster way to download the files at iskconmedia.com

We compressed all ebooks as zip files so they are easier to download. They are organized in categories so you dont have to download everything if you dont want.

These are the categories :

acaryas.zip

articles.zip

biographies.zip

controversial.zip

deity_worship.zip

health.zip

history.zip

iskcon_authors.zip

namas.zip

other_sampradayas.zip

pancaratra.zip

puranas.zip

sastra.zip

science.zip

song_and_verse_books.zip

study_guides.zip

various_books.zip

Don’t forget that you can also download many mp3s and photos too.

www.iskconmedia.com

We are very happy to announce that we just launched the new iskconmedia.com. The site has much more content than before and features a clean and easy to use design. Have a look:

The mp3 section has thousands of files sorted by ISKCON devotees and album. We started with this selection but will add more in the future.

For example, here is Indradyumna Swami’s page with biography and lectures.
You can also vote individual devotees, albums and mp3 files.

We don’t want to explain everything so just visit the new site and tell us what you think.

your servants,

We are working hard to bring you a new site that will fulfill all your download needs. Wait a few more days and get ready to download.

After offering you over 20.000 photos, hundreds of streaming lectures, and the deluxe prabhupada mp3s, we present “one more thing”.

Introducing:

ISKCON MEDIA VEDIC LIBRARY .

Over 200 books by vaisnava acaryas, study guides, sanskrit courses and essays among other things. Most of the files are in PDF format and distributed under the Creative Commons license. The site is a work in progress but we wanted to start sharing all this as soon as possible. We will keep adding more books and work on the pages we have.

We just launched the new Official ISKCON Spain website. It has many features not available anywhere else like:

• Many Prabhupada books in PDF
• Deluxe lectures in Spanish

• Lots of new content

Please link to it if you have a spanish section on any of your sites or want to give your visitors a link to spanish content. www.harekrishna.es 

Here are some captures:

The home page:

We have many books in PDF format so that anyone can download them inmediatly:

Like we did with the english lectures, we now have spanish prabhupada lectures with cover art and proper mp3 tags. They look fantastic on the iPhone or iPods that support cover flow.

And one more interesting feature is the bhakta manual. It is a PDF where in a very simple and graphical way people can learn how to start practicing bhakti yoga at home. It includes photos to create your own altar, instructions on how to chant japa, how to offer etc.

Please link from your sites to offer your visitors content in spanish.

Dear Pancharatna Prabhu,

This is our last email, explaining our understanding of the situation.
We have covered and explained the issue several times over by now.

- Regarding BBT(i) contacting archive.org, we have emails from the BBT
to other devotees showing that BBT contacted archive.org in relation
to us, while we were still in conversations, and other similar black
and white examples exist at your disposal.

- We offer our services to all devotee websites what to speak of the
BBT. It seems that BBT itself is not asking for help. Your good self
has already used some of our services like nectarshare.com,
pariprashnena.com, wiki.pariprashnena and worldsankirtan google group.
How is that for cooperation?

> The BBT is not trying to stop anyone from putting their own Krishna
> conscious content anywhere, but only trying to protect Srila Prabhupada’s
> property by exercising some  basic controls.

So, if you are not trying to stop iskconmedia, what are we talking about here?
Your conditions are not “basic” but clearly elitist and crippling the
internet preaching.
We already asked BBT to give special arrangement as we do not fit any
of the possible offender categories, but remember: BBT has cut short
our conversations until we decrease the 20.000 photos to 20 low res
pics.

> All of these are great. But when there are two sites competing in the same
> market exclusive content is also very important.

You are talking about two physical shops in the same street, not about
the internet. You are talking about the Industrial age not the
Information Age.

Napster was closed and Bittorrent and a dozen similar clones were
created, so trying to stop digital sharing is a waste of time and not
very intelligent.

Many music bands, famed writers, etc. have realized by now that more
their digital content is freely
spread, more profit they make with their hardcopy sales and all the
other ways of monetizing.

We better adjust to the new paradigm or succumb to it.

CONCLUSION

All our problems are solved attributing a Creative Commons license to
the BBT digital material and having proper hard copy sale outlets.
CC regulates problems of piracy (copy and distribution for profit) and
manipulation of material by mayavadis, etc as CC license does not allow such
actions  –>>  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/
