His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada's compiled teachings Srila Prabhupada is a prolific spiritual and social commentator who resourcefully draws from the vast and timeless wisdom of the Vedas. The sheer volume of his comments sometimes makes it difficult for readers to grasp the proper conclusion. Vaniquotes collects Srila Prabhupada's comments under naturally accruing themes, thus giving the reader better access to the powerful messages that Srila Prabhupada is giving. Quotes are presented in scriptural order and by date. Each quote is also linked to Vanisource (Prabhupada's books, lectures, conversations and letters), thus keeping everything in context. The reader can approach Vaniquotes via philosophical and social themes, the different personalities who present them, or from such interesting directions as Srila Prabhupada's usage of the English, Sanskrit and Bengali languages. As Vaniquotes develops, the audio versions of Srila Prabhupada's lectures and conversations will also be compiled along with the text versions, thus offering a profound hearing experience for the reader and thereby keeping the individual quotes even more in context. Vaniquotes will supply the resources to further develop the Vanipedia projects; other sections, such as Vanipedia articles, Vanibooks, and Vaniversity online courses will draw from Vaniquotes. The more pages we have in Vaniquotes, the richer the articles in Vanipedia will be, the more comprehensive the compendiums in Vanibooks, and the more variegated and inclusive the Vaniversity online courses will be – and all representative of the siddhanta of our disciplic succession. A Work in Progress Compiling in Vaniquotes can be compared to building a very big temple. There are lots of stages, and at times the construction site looks a little messy. However, there is a team of architects, engineers and workers of many different capacities all serving together to finish the offering of love to glorify God. Over time the beauty of the temple becomes self manifested. Similarly we are attempting to build a valuable resource of Srila Prabhupada's teachings and when completed it will manifest as a beautiful Vani Temple for all to experience. Completing all the petals of Vanipedia is a herculean task, that will take either a few committed people a long period of time; many committed people a short period of time. "Before enlightenment, copy & paste. After enlightenment, copy & paste." Our simple motto for Vanipedia reflects the massive task of compiling all of Srila Prabhupada's teachings. It also reflects our conviction that Srila Prabhupada has said it all, and it reflects our resolve to stay fixed in our duty until the task is completed. Who is Srila Prabhupada? Authorized and Empowered A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is a self-realized, pure devotee of Lord Krishna. While physically present among us he shared the essence of Vedic knowledge liberally and without prejudice. His only desire was to fulfil his spiritual master's desire – to introduce the process of Krishna consciousness to the world. Srila Prabhupada showed us the importance of living life according to the directions given in scripture. He spoke and wrote profusely so that many may have this guidance in life, and he wished that every person on the planet had the opportunity to read his books now and in the future. Srila Prabhupada translated and commented on over fifty volumes of ancient Vedic scripture before his physical demise on November 14, 1977. His authority to write, and to teach and train students in the science of self-realization was given to him by his guru, Srila Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Mahārāja (1874-1937), who came in the disciplic succession from Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu (1486-1534), Himself an incarnation of Lord Krishna. Srila Prabhupada founded the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, ISKCON.
