CHAKRA (Melbourne, Australia) -

TV preaching by Stoka Krsna dasa

Can we move on from the ritvik rubbish and discuss spreading Krishna Consciousness, please?

Recently I did a little four-minute segment on the devotees' farm near here for a life-style show on Melbourne community TV. This was seen by a surprising number of people, and was quite well received. A group of devotees in Dallas have a successful regular spot on community (called "public" in the US) TV there. In Berlin some years ago the devotees did a spot on community TV there. 

The book distributors reported for weeks afterwards that people who'd seen the show were buying books on the strength of it.   There are community TV studios all over the Western world (including Britain) now which cost nothing to use and which have quite large audiences.

There would seem to be some potential here for developing congregations, inspiring devotees, etc. It's also possible to make some money from it. Any devotees who would like advice and/or assistance on using this untapped resource that probably exists in their area can email me ozstoka@sunet.com.au
