    Thank you guys for Congress TV. Every ‘broadcast’ (or is that episode?) is special. In the early ones I saw friends from all over the Subud World who I had not seen for years! Wonderful! And today I watched the opening ceremony, tears streaming. Very moving.

  • Hammond said:

    Congratulations Congress TV Team! It’s great that those who aren’t able to attend in person are still able to share the warm feeling, joy, fun & lightness that seeps into every corner of the World Congress – “Good on ya mate!”

  • Murianti Lynn said:

    BIG THANKS to you all! Great work thank you for sharing…

  • Arifah said:

    I have just been watching the last Congress TV episode of the opening ceremony, which leaves me deeply touched. What a great gift to get an insight into what is going on in the land down under!
    To all the team members of Congress TV: keep going! Your films are more than welcome! there cannot possibly be too much of it, there is no detail unimportant enough not to be filmed and watched with joy and interest!
    So, keep on building this bridge to the rest of the world!
    With warm regards to everyone.

    Dear all
    like many others who commented befor me I am so grateful for the opportunity to be connected with the congress through the work you do.
    Every day I am starving for a new episode. So, thank you very much. It makes it less hard not to be there. And, please never think it could be too long and therefor not interesting enough to watch. It can neither be too long or too detailed! So keep going guys! We love what you do!

  • Heidi said:

    My 4 month old daughter and I watch Congress TV every morning when we wake up! I was starting to feel sad not to be there this time, but you found a way to bring a little bit of Congress into the world! THANK YOU! Keep it coming!…The world is watching.

  • Salina said:

    Hi there Congress TV,
    Had a good laugh watching the first epsiodes. Great fun. Missed the third one unfortnunately, very curious now.
    Thanks so much for showing us at the other side of the globe what is going on at this congress. Apart from fun, it opens up your feeling seeing familiar faces, friends and a bit from all that is happening.
    Keep it up, also the fun style, love it.

  • Luthfi Dixon said:

    Great stuff. Unmissable, have to make sure I get each day’s episode.

    You will find you rapidly get tired putting this together every day (as I found with the daily Congress newsletter for Anugraha ‘83), but I’m sure you’ll manage to keep it going till the end.

  • Michele said:

    I love seeing the bare toes peeking out of sandals, as it’s below freezing here in Colorado today…!

  • ilaine lennard said:

    I am feeling extremely frustrated – all I can get is the Innsbruck Congress! PLEASE make your directions clearer, as to how to get Christchurch Congress. Thanks for what you are doing – sounds great, but where on earth can I find you?!!! – Ilaina

    Hi and thanks to you all. I, like everyone else it seems, am so pleased to see what’s going on in New Zealand. Please can we have more ‘episodes’ though as one a day is not enough? How about more interviews and a bit of pure people watching for those of us to spot long lost friends from all over?
    P.S. as we all seem to be snowbound in the U.K. it’s good to see people in sandals and T shirts in the sun.

  • admin (author) said:

    Dear louise,
    Thanks for your feedback. We are working full time for free and, as it stands, getting one episode online per day is bordering on miraculous. We ask for your understanding and hope you continue enjoying the show. Stay tuned.

    Hi – It`s so good. sitting here in Norwich U.k. looking at a spectacular snowbound view, being able to get a real taste of the congress. It makes me really wish I was there with you all. The TV presenter has a wonderful light and humorous touch – I loved the private jet!!!!! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou….

  • Astrid and Jasmin Taylor said:

    You have done such a great job, you have really captured the atmosphere, – so makes you want to be there, but you have given us the next best thing! Thank you so much.

  • Sonya said:

    Over my morning tea I got to watch my people across the ocean, my people singing, my people. I’m surprised at my tears of happiness and am so grateful for you all putting the experience on film. Hamilton and team, I love you!! Enjoy YOUR congress too!

    A happy feeling to be connected with our Brothers and Sisters.

  • selina said:

    I just love these videos! Of course we all feel the vibe in latihan of what you all are doing down there-thanks, btw, the latihans have been terrific here as a result- but to see highlights of the opening ceremony, familiar faces in the crowd, subud news, etc, is SO amazing for those of us at home. Keep them coming, and bless you for sharing with us!

  • Gregor said:

    Sitting in a very cold germany today and have a look into warm NZ – great.

  • dylanovski said:

    I think it’s funny how the guys on stage are all protecting their private parts with folded hands while the dancing guy threatens them with his stick!!! Like the bit about Air Osanna, too. Keep up the good work.

  • Afandi said:

    My only regret is not being with you all. Enjoy and find your track in this new century and may the pure feeling of New Zealand helps you out with the guidance of the latihan and take it back to your country. Great to enjoy those short time. Leandra from Switzerland
