Humanity’s greatest challenge
What do you think is humanity’s greatest challenge? The X Prize Foundation is running a video contest to find out.
“The X PRIZE Foundation is an educational nonprofit prize institute whose mission is to create radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity.”
Sounds a bit like ISKCON.
You can see some of the entries here. I would like to see some Krishna conscious entries. Any devotees out there with video cameras want to try?
It would be nice to see some more Hare Krishna devotees out there in the Vlogosphere. There are some videos of devotees chanting at festivals and some videos of Prabhupada, but not much in the style of a Vlog. The closest thing I have seen so far to a KC Vlog is a couple of Hare Krishna’s in wigs playing guitar and singing Hare Krishna like some rock stars (here). It was quite amusing but we also have a serious message to communicate and the Vlogosphere does seem like a powerful medium. Oh yes, and I recall seeing some devotees from Brisbane chanting. But we need more! Speak to the camera and speak to the world!
Video Blogging Week 2007 is coming up very soon. So, any devotees out there with a video camera, now’s a good time to start. Pretty soon people all over the world could be watching your KC Vlogs on their mobile phones.
Now I have almost convinced myself to get a video camera.
We are just going to buy a regular camera right now, a very good one. Anyway, it is first time I heard about the Vlogospehere. BTW: I just set up a blog for Janakirama, you can come and comment on his, sometimes controversial, articles:
