Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 In Utah, USA, We¹ve created three DVD¹s of interest to the devotees. These can be helpful in the areas of festival organization, general fund raising or specific fund raising for a new temple, producing dramas, media relations, promoting tours to your temple through teachers, all round inspiration, and helping to create good PR in tight circumstances. Some of this footage has been credited for favorably influencing the city council and mayor of at least one American city to give a building permit for a new temple after a hard fought battle. 1) TV coverage of the Utah temple construction project from 1995 until the present. Ten clips each 3-7 minutes in length documenting the evolution of the Spanish Fork Temple. Includes the nationally aired segment on ³Religion & Ethics News weekly², and coverage on four TV channels of the Grand Opening celebrations in 2001. Here Sridhar Maharaja dances in ecstasy, Anuttama give press interviews, and Badrinarayan helps to install the Deities. Bonus footage at the end of the Festival of India in 2003, attended by 5,000 people. This includes segments from the pageant of the Ramayana and the spectacular burning of Ravana with fireworks. 58 minutes 2) Tour of the temple conducted by Caru Das. Twenty students from a local High School arrive for a field trip in their Mythology course. Caru takes them through every aspect of the temple construction, and the major points of the philosophy while touring the temple. Simple, cultural, educational, and humorous. Tour finishes off with a magnificent lunch, and free time to explore the 15 acres of llamas, lake, waterfall, parrots & peacocks. 45 minutes 3) Three pieces. a) Recent Ram Navami celebrations which featured two brand new world premier dramas with multi media effects and sound track. b) Movie showing the beauty of the Utah temple and surroundings from all angles and in various different kinds of lighting, with transcendental sound track. c) Slide show movie chronicling the evolution of the temple and its community interaction until the present day (features stills from the many annual festivals and 10 full color festival posters). 45 minutes Each DVD comes in a jewel case with a full color attractive label. They are available for $ 6.00 each plus $ 3.00 shipping and handling. The whole set will cost $ 20 inclusive of P & H. Add $ 2.00 for international post.
