A place to meet friends in peace and be immersed in padavali-kirtana and Krishna-katha. |

• Raising funds
• Overseeing construction
• Some have also asked me to document the process. I'll be featuring that in Vraja Journal along with a number of other practicalities related to Vraja-vasa. |

Undeveloped. Overlaps partially with gkWiki, the main difference would be in presentation and extensive interlinking of resources. I also lack the resources to research on my own to the extent the project would call for, we would need many committed individuals who could all chart different tracts of the Gaudiya landscape.

One of my best known projects, offering over 100 GB and 80 hours of devotional media – festivals from Radha-kunda and discussions with sadhus – online for free download. |

Status |
Currently working on:
• Mastering some pending footage from last year for web
• Mastering footage for DVDs, designing packages
• Developing a shop for the website for the DVDs
In absence of time, much of the above has been a bit on the back-burner – particularly so since August and the subsequent migration to Radha-kunda.

Future |
I intend to keep working on LOF in one capacity or another for the foreseeable future, as I feel this is one of the most important projects of all things ongoing. How far LOF work is focused on will depend to a great extent on audience support and response. |
|
Requirements |
I need up-to-date hardware to be able to work properly with video.
• Laptop with sufficient punch for multimedia work: ~1500€. (I am currently on Celeron M 1.3 GHz / 512 MB, which is something very different from what I ought to be having for full productivity)
• More storage space (raw DV-video takes 13 GB/h) as 500GB disks: ~200€ each.
