Vanipedia — the essence of Vedic knowledge
The encyclopedia of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda's teachings

 His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
Vanipedia is a dynamic encyclopedia of Śrīla Prabhupāda's words (vani). Vanipedia aims to explore and comprehensively compile Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings from various angles of vision and present them in accessible and easily understandable ways.
There are seven divisions, or petals, in the whole Vanipedia project, each one with its own website (you can see the list of the site titles under "Interaction" to the left). At the moment there are three petals that are filled with content: Vanisource, where you can read the archived collection of Śrīla Prabhupāda's books, lectures, conversations and letters, Vaniquotes, where we are thematically mapping all of Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings, and Vanimedia, where we are creating many audio and video clips of Śrīla Prabhupāda's lectures and conversations. In addition, we are now beginning to create articles in the Vanipedia petal (the site where you are now).
Vanipedia's vision is a collaborative endeavor which will succeed as more people come forward to participate. We have created a very easy compiling process to populate the Vaniquotes petal. Compiling in Vaniquotes is a penetrating way to study Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings. Each Vaniquotes page contains one or more quotes and is organized under a system of categories based either on a theme or on a key word or phrase. As Vaniquotes grows, content for the other petals - in the form of written articles, reference guides, and other educational material - will naturally develop. The Vanipedia project is building an unparalleled resource for the benefit of all and will offer a continual, worldwide platform for Śrīla Prabhupāda to preach and teach the science of Krsna consciousness.

Vanipedia Articles

 His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda
The Vanipedia petal is now beginning to unfold. Glancing through the first two completed thematic articles - Animal-Killing in Human Society and Buddha: A Vaisnava Perspective - one can experience the high standard of devotional research within Vanipedia, complete with easily accessed source notes and extensive references for additional reading and study in Vaniquotes. Just imagine the power of delivery to have 500 to 1,000 similar thematic multilingual articles, all interlinked with each other and all accessible in one place, under one platform! We also have some introductory articles that bring to light the wealth of content that Srila Prabhupada delivers to us in Vaniquotes.

Vaniquotes statistics - categories/pages/ quotes
|
As of today we have created categories, pages and there are now quotes drawn from the following places.
- quotes from Bhagavad-gītā As It Is
- quotes from Śrīmad Bhāgavatam
- quotes from Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta
- quotes from other books by Śrīla Prabhupāda
- quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda's Lectures
- quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda's Conversations and Morning Walks
- quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda's Correspondence
Once completed we estimate that Vaniquotes will have around 16,000 categories, 150,000 to 200,000 pages, and somewhere between 2 to 2 1/2 million quotes.
- Our current goal is to compile at least 2,050,000 quotes (% done) by the end of 2013 and to create at least 125,000 pages (% done) by Srila Prabhupada's disapearance day in 2013
Serving all together - we are actually doing it.
