Donations

From Vanipedia

Supporting the Vanipedia project

• All endeavors in this world require financial assistance. As Vanipedia is a free online encyclopedia, we are going to need generous support to sustain the project.

• The platform of the Web does offer a very good value for money, so potential donors can be satisfied that their offerings will bring about a maximized result in teaching the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness.

• Giving charity is a noble gesture, and Śrīla Prabhupāda explains in the Bhagavad-gītā that charity given to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the greatest charity in the world. Why? Because Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a benediction to humanity, and those who help in any way to give that benediction offer the greatest charity.

BG 11.54, Purport: As far as charity is concerned, it is plain that charity should be given to the devotees of Kṛṣṇa who are engaged in His devotional service to spread the Kṛṣṇa philosophy, or Kṛṣṇa consciousness, throughout the world. Kṛṣṇa consciousness is a benediction to humanity. Lord Caitanya was appreciated by Rūpa Gosvāmī as the most munificent man of charity because love of Kṛṣṇa, which is very difficult to achieve, was distributed freely by Him. So if one gives some amount of his money to persons involved in distributing Kṛṣṇa consciousness, that charity, given to spread Kṛṣṇa consciousness, is the greatest charity in the world.

• We are convinced that the more Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings become available and understood, the better the chances are that Kṛṣṇa consciousness can be successfully practiced and spread. Vanipedia is uniquely dedicated to this one goal.

• If you like the vision of Vanipedia then please consider supporting the development of the site.

• Donating money to Vanipedia is a much appreciated Vaniseva. We thank all our supporters, and pray that they can receive the full blessings of Śrīla Prabhupāda and Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa.

• All donations small or large are welcome.

Support Programs

• As with all programs of support, it is nice to focus on a theme. Thus we have decided to focus on the specific time that Śrīla Prabhupāda spent on the planet - 81 years - and the nine processes of devotional service.

Projected expenses

• A minimum of 2200 € a month is needed to maintain the existing operation.

• Infrastructural development will be needed to sustain the project as it naturally grows.
• We will show all projected expenses here.
