HERE'S A Krsna conscious project you might like to support or get involved in.
PROJECT
Krishna Vision
HEADQUARTERS
Villa Vrindavana, Florence, Italy
PROJECT MEMBERS
Krsna Prema Dasa (musician, audio engineer) and his wife, Nitya-trpta Devi Dasi (photographer, visual programmer)
GOAL
To attract people to Krsna consciousness through audiovisual technology.
HISTORY
In 1985, Krsna Prema and Nitya-trpta decided to combine their talents in Krsna's service. He had been a professional musician for twenty years before coming to the Krsna consciousness movement in 1979. She had been a photographer for the Bhaktivedanta Book Trust for ten years. They started Krishna Vision to present Krsna consciousness through music and sophisticated slide projection. ISKCON Italy got them started with a studio, a sound system, and nine computer-run slide projectors.
From 1985 to 1988 Krsna Prema and Nitya-trpta did research, put together programs, and put on shows throughout Italy. Krishna Vision started traveling in 1989 to India for the Kumbha Mela and ISKCON's Mayapur/Vrndavana festival. Since then they've been invited all over the world to present Krishna Vision programs, which can be shown alone or in conjunction with other Krsna conscious presentations, such as plays, dances, and lectures.
DETAILS
Krsna Prema and Nitya-trpta continue their research on audiovisual technology to enhance the quality of the sounds and images of their shows. They use computer-generated graphics and computer-enhanced images. A new development: using projected images as backdrops to Krsna Prema's live musical performances.
