Vanipedia is a dynamic, interactive encyclopedia of all of Śrīla Prabhupāda's words (vani).

Vanipedia will offer a continual worldwide platform for Śrīla Prabhupāda to preach and teach the science of Krsna consciousness. There are seven petals in the whole Vanipedia project. At the moment only Vanisource, where you can read all of Śrīla Prabhupāda's books, lectures, conversations and letters, and Vaniquotes, where we are comprehensively mapping all of Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings, are populated with content. Follow these links for a short introduction to the other petals; Vanimedia, Vanictionary, Vanibooks, and Vaniversity.

Vanipedia's vision is a collaborative endeavor and will succeed as more people come forward to participate. We have created a very easy compiling process to populate the Vaniquotes petal with thousands of quotes from Śrīla Prabhupāda organized into 4 sections. Thematic, his usage of language, via the different scriptures Srila Prabhupada introduced us to in his Bhaktivedanta purports, and via the saintly and transcendental personalities presented within his teachings. Vaniquotes is the building of an unparalleled resource of Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings for the benefit of all. As Vaniquotes is filled with more quotes, the other petals will naturally develop. Compiling in Vaniquotes is a great way to study Śrīla Prabhupāda's books.
