	It is based on this very simple premise; '''we are all going to die''', and when we die, we leave, and while we are here we actually make very little contribution to the improvement to the spirituality of this planet. Śrīla Prabhupāda, however, does not die, '''he lives forever''', as do all the other great ācāryas from the past. And Śrīla Prabhupāda's contribution to the spirituality of this planet is unfathomable and increasing all the time, and will do so, generation after generation into the future. Our conviction therefore is that we should do everything that we can to assist Śrīla Prabhupāda to live forever in this world in 100% of his full Vani glory. That is why we make this endeavor to give Śrīla Prabhupāda this platform to continuously preach, teach, and train people in the science of Krsna consciousness.

	It depends on how much time you like to spend online. Both Vedabase and the ~~Prabhupada~~ mp3 library facilitate reading and hearing offline, whereas Vaniepdia is only accessible online. Is also depends on how much you like to understand the depth and breadth of the subjects that ~~Srila Prabhupada~~ addresses which is the unique offering of Vanipedia.
