Dear Sangha,
We did it! Yes, there were problems. Yes, the last minute password change caused confusion. Yes, the video cut out. Yes, people missed the broadcast because they did not see the password that was emailed several times. And Yes, people missed the entire broadcast because of the time difference, the password confusion, or they simply forgot what time it started. AND....
Does any of that really matter in the context of this very very very first LIVE Global Broadcast TEST? What is truly amazing about this TEST is that we all came together from around the world at the same time to BE in Satsang together. It is profound to think of the light, love, support, and energy flowing around the entire planet! Wow!
Some people in Australia got up at 3AM to see this broadcast! People were online from the United Kingdom, Italy, Scotland, Australia, North Carolina and the list goes on and on.... I am are extremely grateful for your comments below and emails. Out of the hunreds of emails that I a received this one stood up for truth as a ray of light that reveals the integrity, respect, grace, love, and compassion of our beloved global community:
Davide Khalil from Scotland writes:
"The broadcast was so patchy where we are (north scotland - on 1mb broadband) - we could not hear more than a few words... out of respect, we held a long meditation to the in-and-out broadcast,but it was a priviledge to be part of the first such satsang of its sort... Seeing the video is a nice luxury, but if it were 1 frame per second, the audio tells all, and we could still hear the satsang.As it was, we could only hear a phrase here and there, with 30 second gaps and nothing that could be understood besides the priviledge of sitting with gangaji in satsang. For that infinite gratitute, please do not take the above as a complaint."
Your honest expression of your experience is very important during this testing period. Please feel free to give us your honest feedback and any suggestions that you think might help improve the perfomance. The initial testing that we conducted in Ashland did not have as many issues as we witnessed today. Barb's introduction was flawless (please watch the video) and then something happened during the meditation. Maybe there was just way too much LIGHT for the bandwidth! Ha! Ha! Barb's intro was the only video available online, for some reason after the meditaion nothing recorded via Ustream interface and I have not been able to contact anyone in Marin yet, so I do not know what issues they might have run into that could have been the source of these problems.
I am confindent that collectively we can solve these technical issues. If you have experience with any aspect of Live Video Streaming please help us with any advice you might have.
In the Deepest Gratitude...
