[Prabhupadanuga] Blu-ray Players are Obsolete

[Pratyatosa]

Dear Prabhus, Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

Now that you've downloaded the 1st two "Little Krishna" DVDs and you've played them on your computer using software such as BS.Player, you may be wondering how to watch them with your children on your big screen HD TV while sitting in your favorite easy chair, remote control at hand.

Here is the best way to do it:

http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Play-Media-Player-Black/dp/B002MCZJ3C

The Asus O!Play is amazing! I got mine 2 days ago. It has no disadvantages that I've been able to find so far, and here are some of the advantages:

1. Only US$99 with free shipping from Amazon.com.

2. $20 mail-in rebate good 'til the end of this month.

3. Plays all audio and video file formats.

4. Handles external SRT subtitles very well. (allows you to control the position, size and color of the subtitles.)

5. Remembers which movies you were playing last.

6. Remembers where you left off, so you can resume playing a movie later.

7. Audio and/or video files can be on USB flash drives or USB external hard drives.

8. Handles 1080p HD movies with ease.

I down   loaded the first Little Krishna video a few days ago from the links posted here, and then just got the video series yesterday from Krishnastore.com.  The actual DVDs are much better quality than the rip, and it's full-screen.  It's well worth the $45 plus shipping.  They took over a week to arrive, and I was beginning to wonder if something was wrong, but then the package came and it was from Vrindavana.  That was extra fun.  Normally I'm not so inclined to buy videos that I can download, but I'm very happy to support this production and hope they make more.

Good to hear Bhakta Paul Prabhu. Now you have all 3 DVDs. I have yet to see #3, "The Legendary Warrior."

You can also use the Asus O!Play to play DVDs by first using DVDFab to copy the DVD to your computer's hard drive. I use DVDfab's "DVD to DVD - Full Disk" mode, interrupting it after it's made an exact copy (minus the copy protection) and before it's begun to burn a new DVD. Before clicking "Start," make sure that the quality is 100%. If not, then switch from DVD5 to DVD9. By default, the copy will be in a uniquely named subfolder in the C:\...Documents\DVDFab\Temp\FullDisc folder. Then simply copy the subfolder to a USB hard drive or flash drive to play on the O!Play. It will have all of the exact same quality and features as the original DVD!

You may not have heard of them, but I've purchased from them fairly
recently. They're for real.

Cartoons to Krishna

BY: HASTI GOPALA DASA

May 18, 2010 — TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA (SUN) —

I had read that soon in some big cartoon
Krishna would be released.
He dances with damsels under full moon
And fights fire and wind and beast.

Now on the front cover I'd soon discover
No mention of Krishna as God
Or the purpose of life is to revive our lover
As taught by Prabhupada.

Little Krishna it's said is principally based
On Prabhupada's Krsna Book.
It is not said and it is not read
On the DVD or release.
So where did you get those stories you took?
Speak now for truth and peace.

Krishna is God and Srila Prabhupada
Appeared in India there.
And who's Little Krishna a Hindu myth
Who soars through Hollywood air?
Does heritage know that Prabhupada set
The standards to free the world?
Srila Prabhupada gave Little Krsna the toon
So his flag should be unfurled.

That "Krsna's the Godhead Personality Supreme"
Should be emblazoned on the DVD's.
If these truths you ignore then I humbly implore
And yes I'm trying to impress ya
Krishna Books with the purchase so all can go
from TV cartoon to Krishna

Post Script

That this Little Krishna DVD should go out alone is not acceptable. It should be accompanied by the full three sets of original Krishna Books in top quality paperback. Those written and published by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. This way, there is compromise for those who are determined to release these DVD's as they are and keep the advertising, as it is now.

Those who produced these DVD's certainly have millions of dollars to spend, and it is assumed that they are truly interested in letting the whole world learn about Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, as well as Srila Prabhupada the author of this great literary masterpiece. Each temple may add one sweetball and a Hare Krishna maha- mantra card to complete the package. Therefore there will be books, prasadam and the Holy Name going out with each DVD.

Silence on this suggestion will speak volumes. However one need not reply to this posting. Simply take it up as your own idea and quietly do the needful. I have spoken with determination because Krishna is my Lord, Srila Prabhupada is my master, and this has been my duty.

Ys. Always,
Hasti Gopala dasa

[Pratyatosa]

Srila Prabhupada approved Krishna conscious coloring books:

http://bit.ly/9KCoV1

... so why not Krishna conscious animated videos?

The Little Krishna videos are incredible technological achievements / works of art. I'm sure that Srila Prabhupada is very pleased with the sincere service of the devotees in India who have worked so hard for so many years in order to produce them.

But is it true the DVD cover makes no mention of HDG Srila Prabhupada or Krishna being the supreme personality of godhead?

 

I don't think the article disagrees with you Pratyatosa, merely that the source is not given prominence.

 

I wonder what Hasti Gopala dasa thinks of the older puppet show dvd/videos.

Maybe so, but even in the mid 70s, devotees, especially the Bhaktivedanta Institute devotees, were using an "in like a needle; out like a plow" approach to preaching.

I've seen some of them. I don't like the fact that their mouths don't move. This means that they are not up to karmi standards, and are therefore, IMHO, somewhat of an embarrassment to Srila Prabhupada. :-(

The Little Krishna videos are much, much better. They are something that we can be proud of.

[Bhakta Michael]

From the introduction (first episode) on the DVD "The Darling of
Vrindavan", after 6 seconds:

"His endearing pastimes have been recorded in the ancient Sanskrit
classic from India, the Bhagavata Purana.
These stories have enthralled generations of eager readers and have
carved a special place for little Krishna, darling of Vrindavan, in
their hearts."

Hare Krishna,
Michael

I've been using the Asus O!Play for almost a month now. It's very well engineered. I ordered another one just now. The price went down to US$94.99 and the $20 mail-in rebate is in effect for 2 more days, until May 31st.
