Two Videos on Master EK and some Interactions
On 11 August, the date of Master EK’s 100th birthday, Sanath, a friend from Hyderabad, informed me that a video was published on YouTube on the life of Master EK, all done with AI.
There was no reference to the World Teacher Trust and its works on Master EK, although we had published a video series, Music of the Soul, including the story of the life of Master EK, as well as other related books. It seemed that the video followed the storybook on Master EK as well as its imagery.
I found out the address of the producer and more background information on him, and so I wrote him if he used some of the WTT sources and that in case it would be correct to mention the sources.
Today, my friend from Hyderabad, who had realised the storybook on Master EK, informed me that a new video, the second part of the Master EK series, has now been published, also created with AI, now with a disclaimer mentioning the use of material from the World Teacher Trust and others. Sanath: “The entire second edition is built on the storybook with little elaboration. Even the background for the scenes were directly picked from the illustrative guidelines.”
A little later this morning, the producer of the video contacted us, informing about having now included the mention of WTT with the second video, and he gave some explanations:
“Indeed, as you indicated, the WTT storybook had an impact on me. However, I’m not familiar with the videos you mentioned.
My original intention was to create a single video. Unfortunately, though, I had to divide this film into two parts due to the time and material development involved. All these things were supposed to be mentioned at the end. However, even though it separates into two parts, I couldn’t include the thank you note in part 1.
I am leaving the thank-you note at the beginning of the second section and adding it to the disclaimer….
This is my modest attempt to educate the next generation about the great Master EK, not to be produced as a commercial.”
And, “I express my sincere gratitude to your friend from Hyderabad.”
I told him that from my side, this is OK now, and I informed him that there are other storybooks for young people based on the wisdom teachings of Master EK, especially the booklet on “Master Koot Koomi and Master Morya” – its content is from the books of Master EK: ‘Music of the Soul‘, ‘Man Sacrifice‘ and ‘The World Teacher – Advent of Lord Krishna‘ – a grand, profound series of wisdom teachings.
