We are documenting the major events in Srila Prabhupada's life and also offering a chronological order of all recorded media of Śrīla Prabhupāda's vani. Once completed, this time-line will provide an authoritative documentation of all his existing teachings arranged in order of occurrence. A major task indeed and we invite devotees to assist with it.
Articles in Development
Drawing from Vaniquotes and Vanisource there are many articles that can be written. We invite writers to join this project. Here is a list of some potential Vanipedia articles.:
In Vaniquotes you can now listen while reading Śrīla Prabhupāda's lectures, conversations, interviews and morning walks - feel his presence, feel his mood. To date there are over 2000 pages with clips available and we are aiming for 5000 by the end of 2014.
Completing an Audio Fidelity Check of Lecture and Conversation Transcriptions
We are inviting volunteers to attentively listen to Śrīla Prabhupāda and, while reading, to check the transcriptions for accuracy. This project is in its beginning stages, but if it interests you please contact us
We are inviting volunteers to read, verify and correct the Vanisource transcriptions for fidelity against the original scans. Please contact us if you would like to help.
Adding Audio to Lecture and Conversation Transcriptions
We are uploading the audio files to the Vanisource pages so that hearing and reading of Śrīla Prabhupāda's lectures & conversations can be done simultaneously.
The 1977 audio has been uploaded - with a total of 236.25 hours of audio in 385 audio files As the Bhaktivedanta Archives release the other years this project can be completed. The Archives are projecting a release of all the 1976 audio before the end of 2013, and hopefully we will upload them in Vanisource by Gaura Purnima 2014.
New Categories for Vanisource
We have begun the process of linking all Vanisource pages to relevant categories to make navigation easier. These new categories will also be used to create pages for the timeline of Śrīla Prabhupāda's life
Adding Śrīla Prabhupāda's Original (1962-1965) Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam to Vanisource
Between 1962 and 1965 Śrīla Prabhupāda published the first canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam in three volumes. We have finished adding the first volume and expect to have added all three by the end of 2013.
In Vanischool we have developed a Mindmap which is a genealogical tree of the birth and descendants of the personalities from the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that are mentioned by Śrīla Prabhupāda.
