Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada,
Last week, I requested permission to use Krishna Art images in the English version (Stories of the Universe), but my request was denied because they consider my project not as good as modern productions like Disney and Century Fox.
ASA - 😲
Unfortunately, creating a professional production as desired by the devotees in "Los Angeles" would cost me 1-Billion dollars, and I don't think I'll achieve that in this lifetime.
For this reason, I am turning to artificial intelligence to design my own artworks for the
Srimad Bhagavatam, so I won't have to rely on approvals. I am attaching some
images for you to see, as I am still optimizing them.
ASA - Super. After you have some more production, ask them again.
We saw documentary of life of Confucious. He did so much work to synthesize and teach the classical wisdom of China for the good of humanity and The Higher Good, but materialistic kings thwarted him and his most promising student died. He died thinking that he was a failure, but he has been one of the most influential persons in the history of the world. Even now people are leaving Mao's philosophy and returning to Confusious.
So we do the right thing with the resources given and depend on Krsna for the magic.
Considering the bad experience, do you recommend that my project remain connected to the Ministry of Congregational Preaching (MPC)? Or would it be better as a personal project? Or is it better to join NIOS? The MPC could possibly hinder the dissemination of my project in the future, similar to the "Krishna Art" department.
HpS - We can't say. We just don't know.
Politics in ISKCON can become very materialistic at times. GBC, Sannyasi, Gurus can fall into abominable (suduracaro) activities and take their branch of the institution with them. This is normal. So, make it a personal project, make it a part of NIOS.
With whom are you consulting in Peru?
I will be grateful for your guidance in these circumstances.
Hare Krishna

ASA - Super art. Have you got Sankirtan partners?
