Dipunwujudaken Sakwetahipun Kawula sedaya mboten ngersakaken rawuhipun Srila Prabhupada ingkang namung sabageyan kemawon wonten ngajeng kawula sedaya. Kawula sedaya ngersakaken rawuhipun Vani-presence (Rawuhipun tetembungan) piyambakipun ingkang sakwetahipun.

Kanthi mulang pustaka-pustaka Srila Prabhupada lumantar cara ingkang benten-benten punika, mila kawula sedaya saged mangertosi lan ngluluh isenipun pustaka-pustaka punika kanthi leres. Kanthi tumut metodologi pamulang lumantar cara tematik lan saklajengipun nindakaken panatan dhateng perkawis punika, mila satunggaling priyantun saged mlebet kanthi gampil dhateng suraos saking saben tetembungan, wedharan, angen-angen lan kaprianggan ingkan dipuncawisaken dening Srila Prabhupada.

Sawendra Utawi Sedasa Yuta Acharya Upaminipun panjenengan sakmenika nggadhahi sedasa ewu. Mila kawula sedaya badhe ngrembakakaken dados setunggal atus ewu. Punika ingkang dipunbetahaken. Lajeng setunggal atus ewu dados setunggal yuta lan setunggal yuta dados sawendra utawi sedasa yuta. Dados mboten nate badhe wonten kekirangan dhateng Acharya lan sedaya priyantun badhe mangertosi kainsapan Krishna kanthi gampil sanget. Dados jumenengaken pakempalan punika. Sampun dados pambegan kanthi klentu. Tansah tumut pitedah para acharya lan ihtiyaraken kangge ndadosaken panjenengan sampurna lan mateng. Mila badhe dados gampil sanget kangge ngawonaken maya. Inggih, para acharya, sedayanipun mratelaaken perang dhateng kridhanipun maya – Kelasipun Srila Prabhupada menggah ing Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, 6 April 1975 Komentar Pratelan visi Srila Prabupada punika sampun kawistara kanthi piyambakipun – inggih menika satunggaling rancangan ingkang sampurna kangge sedaya priyantun menggah ing mangertosi kainsapan Krishna kanthi gampil.

Srila Prabhupada kanthi kawistara mratelakaken “jumenengaken pakempalan punika.” Kanthi greget, Vanipedia mbiyantu nindakaken visi punika. Seserepan Kainsapan Krishna Wonten nglebet bab kaping sanga saking Bhagavad-gita, seserepan kainsapan Krishna punika dipunwastani minangka ratu saking sedaya seserepan, ratu saking sedaya perkawis ingkang asipat rahasya saha seserepan ingkang paling nginggil menggah ing kainsapan rohani. Kainsapan Krishna minangka seserepan rohani ingkang namung saged dipunwedhar dhateng satunggaling panyembah ingkang tuhu lan sayaga maringaken peladosan dhateng Gusti Pangeran. Kainsapan Krishna mboten saged digayuh lumantar adu panemu ingkang asipat garing utawi lumantar kualifikasi akademik. Kainsapan Krishna ugi sanes satunggal kapitadosan kados dene agama Hindu, Kristen, Buddha utawi Islam, ananging satunggaling seserepan. Menawi satunggaling priyantun maos pustaka-pustakanipun Srila Prabhupada kanthi setiti, mila piyambakipun sedaya badhe dados langkung insap dhateng seserepan kainsapan Krishna ingkang paling nginggil lan dados langkung ngangsalaken pawisik kangge nyebaraken perkawis ingkang sami dhateng sedaya priyantun kangge karaharjan lan piguna ingkang sejati saking piyambakipun sedaya. Pakempalan Sankirtana Kagunganipun Gusti Pangeran Sri Caitanya Gusti Pangeran Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu minangka rama lan pengajengipun pakempalan sankirtana. Priyantun ingkang muja Panjenenganipun kanthi ngurbanaken gesang, yatra, kalantipan saha tetembungan piyambakipun kangge pakempalan sankirtana dados dipunakeni dening Gusti Pangeran saha ngangsalaken pangestunipun. Sauntawis pangurbanan ingkang lintunipun saged dipunwastani minangka kamboten-lantipan, amargi saking sedaya ujud pangurbanan ingkang dipuntindakaken dening satunggaling priyantun kanthimugunakaken energinipun, mila pangurbanan ingkang dipuntindakaken kangge pakempalan sankirtana minangka pangurbanan ingkang paling minulya. Sedaya pakempalan kainsapan Krishna dipundhasaraken dhateng pranatan lan paugeranipun pakempalan sankirtana ingkang dipunresmekaken dening Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Amargi menika priyantun ingkang ngiktiyar kangge mangertosi Kaprianggan Gusti Pangeran Ingkang Murbeng Wasesa lumantar pakempalan sankirtana dados mangertosi sedayanipun kanthi sampurna. Piyambakipun minanka “sumedhah,” satuggaling priyantun ingkang lantip sanget. Ndamel Jalma Manungsa Dados Rohani Malih Sakmenika jalma manungsa saweg wonten ing saklebeting lelimengan ingkang dipunsababaken dening kawontenan supe. Kawontenan punika sampun ndadosaken kamajengan ingkang enggal sanget wonten nglebet tataran sekecanipun material, pamulangan saha pangrembakanipun ekonomi wonten ing sakindhenging jagat. Nanging wonten ing satunggaling panggenan saking sedayanipun ragangan sosial, malah miyos setunggal kedhingklangan ingkang nyababaken miyosipun pasulayan ingkang ageng, ingkang miyos namung amargi wonten perkawis ingkang kirang wigati. Dipunbetahaken satunggaling pitedah menggah ing kadospundi nindakaken kersanipun jalma manungsa saged gesang sesarengan kanthi rukun, memitran lan gemah ripah kerta raharja, wonten nglebet satunggaling angkah ingkang sami. Srimad-Bhagavata saged nyembadani kabetahan punika, amargi Srimad-Bhagavatam minangka satunggaling cecawis budaya kangge ndamel sedaya jalma manungsa dados rohani malih. Limrahipun, golongan mangsarakat minangka satunggaling piranti ingkang wonten ing astanipun para politikus modern saha pangageng kawula alit. Namung menawi tuwuh paewahan wonten nglebet batinipun para pangageng kemawon, mila saklajengipun saged dipunpesthekaken badhe wonten paewahan ingkang nyata dhateng kawontenan jagat punika. Angkahipun pamulangan ingkang sejati kedahipun kangge nggayuh kainsapan dhiri, kainsapan menggah ing ajining rohani saking sang atma. Saben priyantun kedahipun mbiyantu kersanipun sedaya kridha wonten nglebet ngalam donya saged dados rohani. Lumantar kridha ingkang kados mekaten, mila para priyantun ingkang nindakaken kridha saha kridha punika piyambak dados nggadhahi aji rohani saengga pungkasanipun saged nglangkungi sipat-sipat ngalam donya punika. Pratelan Misi Vanipedia Ngaturaken dhateng Srila Prabhupada satunggaling tataran ingkang sumambung wonten ing sakindhenging jagat kangge mulang lan nglatih sedaya priyantun menggah ing seserepan kainsapan Krishna wonten nglebet sedaya basa ing ngalam donya. Nitiki, manggihi lan nata sedaya pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada lumantar mawarni-warni wawasan. Nyawisaken Vani Srila Prabhupada kanthi cara ingkang gampil digayuh lan dimangertosi. Nawakaken satunggaling panggenan pasimpenan kangge panaliten sedayanipun ingkang dipundasaraken dhateng tema ingkang mligi kangge nggampilaken panyeratan pustaka-pustaka ingkang dipundasaraken Vani saking Srila Prabhupada. Nawakaken sumber daya kurikulum utawi rancangan pamulangan kangge mawarni-warni prakarsa pamulangan dhateng nglebet Vani Srila Prabhupada. Nglebetaken pambudi ingkang werit dhateng para pandherek tuhu Srila Prabhupada menggah ing wigatosipun nindakaken wawan rembug kaliyan Vani Srila Prabhupada kangge kebetahan tuntunan piyambak-piyambak saha wigatosipun kangge dados cekap lantip saengga saged nyulihi piyambakipun wonten nglebet sedaya indhak-indhakan. Ndamel para pandherek Srila Prabhupada saking sedaya negari dados ngersakaken ngasta damel sesarengan wonten ing sakindhenging jagat kangge nggayuh sedaya perkawis ingkang sampung dipunserat wonten nginggil. Menapa Ingkang Ngrentegaken Kawula Sedaya Kangge Ngedegi Vanipedia? Kawula sedaya nampi bilih, Srila Prabhupada minangka satunggaling panyembah murni ingkang ngangsalaken wasesa kanthi mligi saking Gusti Pangeran Sri Krishna kangge ngewedaken sagung dumadi wonten nglebet paladosan bhakti ingkang dipunluberi dening welas asih dhateng Gusti Pangeran. Peparing wasesa punika dipunbuktekaken lumantar andharan ingkang tamanpa tandhing menggah ing Kasunyatan Ingkang Tamanpa Wates, ingkang wonten ing saklebeting pamulang-pamulangipun. Ing jaman modern punika, mboten wonten priyantun ingkang nindakaken filsafat Vaisnava ingkang langkung minulya saha mboten wonten kritik sosial ingkang langkung ageng ingkang ngandharaken menggah ing ngalam donya wekdal sakmenika TAMANPA TEDHENG ALING-ALING, saklintunipun Srila Prabhupada. Pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada badhe dados panggenan pangayoman ingkang utama kangge mayuta-yuta pandherekipun ingkang nglimputi sedaya priyantun anom ing tembe mburi. Srila Prabhupada ngersakaken pamulang-pamulangipun dipunsebaraken kanthi lebet sanget saha dipunmangertosi kanthi leres. Pamulangan adhedasar tema-tema mligi dhateng pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada nyababaken proses pamangertosan dhateng kasunyatan ingkang wonten ngelebetipun dados mindhak nginggil sanget, saha bilih wonten aji-aji ingkang ageng sanget nalikanipun kawula sedaya nitiki, manggihi lan nata pamulang-pamulangipun kanthi sedayanipun lumantar saben wawasan. Pantarjemahan sedaya pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada wonten nglebet satunggaling basa tertamtu sami suraosipun kaliyan ngulemi Srila Prabhupada kangge rawuh sakdangunipun wonten ing panggenan-panggenan ingkang migunakaken basa punika. Amargi piyambakipun sampun mboten saged rawuh wonten nglebet jasmaninipun malih, mila Srila Prabhupada mbetahkaken kathah sanget para abdi vani (vaniservant) kangge mbiyantu piyambakipun wonten nglebet misi punika. Amargi menika kawula sedaya sampun mratelakaken tekad kangge ngripta satunggaling tataran ingkang tansah ngrembaka kangge nggampilaken proses panyebaran ingkang sakageng-agengipun saha nggampilaken gayuhan dhateng pamangertosan ingkang sunyata menggah ing seserepan ingkang sampurna lan kainsapan ingkang wonten ing saklebeting pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada, saengga sedayanipun saged dipuntindakaken kanthi bingah sanget. Namung sakprasaja mekaten kemawon. Satunggaling perkawis ingkang nguwal kawula sedaya saking ihtiyar kangge mantunaken Vanipedia inggih menika wekdal saha kathahipun paladosan suci vaniseva inking dhereng dipunaturaken dening para panyembah ingkang sampun mratelakaken tekad dhateng visi punika. Kawula ngaturaken matur sembah nuwun sanget dhateng panjenengan sedaya, amargi sampun ngaji-aji paladosan kawula ingkang sepele punika, ingkang kawula tindakaken minangka satunggaling kuwajiban ingkang dipunpitedahaken dening Guru Maharaja kawula. Kawula nyuwun kersanipun sedaya sisya kawula nindakaken asta damel sesarengan lan kawula mitadosi tamanpo wonten sakedhikpun karinga-ringan bilih misi kawula sedaya badhe dados majeng – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Tamala Krishna das (GBC) - 14 Agustus 1971 Tigang Warni Kalenggahan Ingkang Limrah Saking Srila Prabhupada Budaya kangge ngayom wonten ing ngandhap sampeyan-padma pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada namung saged dipunujudaken nalikanipun kainsapan dhateng tigang warni kalenggahanipun Srila Prabhupada punika dipunwungokaken wonten nglebet batinipun sedaya pandherekipun. Srila Prabhupada minangka siksa-guru kawula sedaya (guru ingkang maringaken sesrawungan lan pitedah rohani kanthi mligi dhateng sang sisya) ingkang paling becik. Kawula sedaya nampi bilih sedaya pandherek Srila Prabhupada saged ngraos rawuh lan pangayoman piyambakipun wonten nglebet pamulang-pamulangipun – kanthi piyambak-piyambak saha nalikanipun saweg ngrembag pamulang-pamulang punika sesarengan kaliyan ingkang lintune. Kawula sedaya nyucekaken dhiri kawula sedaya piyambak saha ngronce sambungan ingkang kiyat kaliyan Srila Prabhupada lumantar pamulangan kangge gesang sareng piyambakipun wonten ing saklebeting wujud piyambakipun minangka batin ingkang dados panuntunipun kawula sedaya. Kawula sedaya ngrentegaken para panyembah kangge ngraosaken uwalan saking Srila Prabhupada, ngelegakaken wekdal kangge manggihaken rawuh piyambakipun lan ngangsalaken panglipuran wonten nglebet Vaninipun. Kawula sedaya genti-gentos mandum welas asih saking Srila Prabhupada kaliyan sedaya pandherekipun, ugi kalebet piyambakipun sedaya ingkang sampun nampi diksa wonten nglebet galer paguron piyambakipun saha piyambakipun sedaya ingkang ndhereki Srila Prabhupada wonten nglebet kuwasisan ingkang benten-benten. Kawula sedaya mulang para panyembah lumantar kapitadosan dhateng kalenggahanipun Srila Prabhupada minangka siksa-gurunipun kawula sedaya ingkang paling becik saha lumantar sumambungan para sisya kawula sedaya kaliyan piyambakipun wonten nglebet swasana batin uwalan. Kawula sedaya ngedegi satunggaling rerangken para panglajeng saking para siksa-sisya ingkang dipunparingi kawasesan kangge njejegaken tinggalan Srila Prabhupada dumugi sakdangunipun para kawula anom ingkang saklajengipun. Srila Prabhupada minangka Acharya-Pangadeg ISKCON Kawula sedaya ngajengaken Vani Srila Prabhupada minangka kakiyatan panyurung utami ingkang ndamel para anggota ISKCON dados tansah sumambung lan mituhu dhateng piyambakipun saengga kanthi mekaten piyambakipun sedaya dados ngangsalaken pawisik, tansah giyat saha tansah nggadhahi kaantepan kangge ndadosaken pakempalan punika saged kaleksanan kanthi jumbuh kaliyan sedayanipun ingkang dipunkersakaken dening Srila Prabhupada – wonten ing wekdal sakmenika saha wonten ing tembe mburi. Kawula sedaya ngrentegaken pangrembakan dhateng bakuning mutu kabrahmanan Vaishnava ingkang sambung-sinambung, ingkang dipundhasaraken dhateng pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada sareng rancangan pamulangan piyambakipun – ingkang minangka satunggaling “budaya-vani.” Kawula sedaya mulang para panyembah kanthi sakleresipun menggah ing kalenggahan Srila Prabhupada minangka Acharya-pangadeg ISKCON lan paladosan kawula sedaya dhateng piyambakipun saha pakempalanipun. Srila Prabhupada minangka Acharya-jagat Kawula sedaya mindhakaken kainsapan jagat menggah ing wigatosipun kalenggahan rohani Srila Prabhupada minangka Acharya-jagat kanthi cara ngedegi gegayutan wekdal sakmenika saking pamulang-pamulangipun saking sedaya golongan saha wewengkon wonten nglebet saben nagari. Kawula sedaya maringaken pawisik menggah ing satunggaling budaya ingkang ngaji-aji lan ngagungaken pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada saengga ngangsalaken wontenipun kandherek-sartanipun mangsarakat sakindhenging donya ingkang aktif wonten nglebet panindakan kainsapan Krishna. Kawula sedaya nginsapi dhasar pamanah bilih Srila Prabhupada sampun ngedegi satunggaling griya wonten pundi sakindhenging donya saged gesang wonten lebetipun, kanthi migunakaken Vaninipun minangka dhasar lan ugi minangka pajengan kanthi sesarengan – minangka satunggaling panggenan pangayoman, satunggaling ashraya – ingkang maringaken pangayoman dhateng griya punika. Wigatosipun Putusan Dhateng Kalenggahan Ingkang Limrah Saking Srila Prabhupada Mangsarakat ISKCON gadhahipun kawula sedaya punika mbetahaken prakarsa-prakarsa menggah ing perkawis pamulangan, angkahipun politik saha budaya jalma manungsa kangge nggampilaken lan ngerimat putusan saking kalenggahan ingkang limrahipun Srila Prabhupada kaliyan para pandherekipun saha wonten nglebet pakempalanipun. Perkawis punika mboten badhe kaleksanan kanthi piyambakipun utawi namung sakderma lumantar pangarep-arep wonten lebeting angen-angen pamanah kemawon. Perkawis punika namung saged digayuh lumantar iktiyar lantip ingkang manunggal lan dipuntindakaken sesarengan dening para panyembah ingkang suci batinipun. Gangsal alangan konci ingkang ngaling-alingi kalenggahan ingkang limrah saking Srila Pranhupada wonten nglebet pakempalanipun: 1. Mboten mangertos menggah ing pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada – piyambakipun sampun maringaken pitedah-pitedah, nanging kawula sedaya mboten insap dhateng kawontenan pitedah-[pitedah menika. 2. Mboten preduli dhateng pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada – kawula sedaya mangertosi kawontenan pitedah-pitedah punika, nanging kawula sedaya mboten mredulekaken, kawula sedaya nyepelekaken pitedah-pitedah punika. 3. Klentu tampi menggah ing pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada – kawula sedaya nindakaken pitedah-pitedah piyambakipun kanthi tuhu, nanging amargi kawula sedaya kesangeten tatagipun utawi taksih kirang mateng, mila kawula sedaya klentu nalikanipun nindakaken pitedah-pitedah punika. 4. Kirang pitados dhateng pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada – tebih sanget wonten nglebet batin, kawula sedaya kirang mitadosi sakwetahipun dhateng pitedah-pitedah punika saha namung mastani sedayanipun minangka satunggaling kayalan, satunggaling perkawis ingkang mboten nyata lan mboten jumbuh kangge dipuntindakaken wonten nglebet “ngalam donya modern.” 5. Ungkul-ungkulan kaliyan pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada – kanthi pitados sanget lan giyat ingkang ageng, kawula sedaya malah mlampah dhateng angkah ingkang benten sanget kaliyan ingkang sampun dipuntedahaken dening Srila Prabhupada, saengga lumantar tumindaj punika kawula sedaya malah dados mangaribawani priyantun lintunipun kangge ndherekaken tumindak kawula sedaya. Komentar Kawula sedaya mitadosi bilih alangan-alangan wonten nginggil punika saged kanthi gampil dipunlangkungi lumantar nepangaken rancangan pamulangan ingkang manunggal saha tumata, ingkang dipunangkahaken kangge ngerimat gegayutan kawula sedaya kaliyan pamulang-pamulangipun Srila Prabhupada, saha kangge mindhakaken seserepan kawula sedaya dhateng pamulang-pamulang punika. Nanging perkawis punika namung badhe angsal damel menawi wonten surungan saking tekad kapangagengan ingkang ngiktiyar kanthi tuhu kangge ngripta budaya ingkang miyos saking Vani Srila Prabhupada. Kanthi mekaten, mila kalenggahan ingkang limrah saking Srila Prabhupada kanthi piyambakipun badhe dados kawistara dhateng sedaya golongan panyembah lan badhe tansah mekaten kangge sakdangunipun. Para panyembah minangka peranganing saliranipun Srila Prabhupada, ISKCON minangka saliranipun lan Vani minangka atmanipun Panjenengan sedaya minangka peranganing salira kawula. Menawi panjenengan mboten genti-gentos ngasta damel sesarengan, mila gesang kawula badhe tamanpa guna. Indriya-indriya lan gesang punika genti-gentos nggegayut. Tamanpa gesang, mila indriya-indriya mboten saged tumindak lan tamanpa indriya-indriya, mila gesang ugi dados liren – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Brahmananda das (TP), 17 Juli 1968 Kawula saestu nyuwun dhateng panjenengan sedaya kersanipun mboten ndamel bengkah dhateng mangsarakat kawula sedaya ingkang pengkuh sanget punika. Mangga ngasta damel sesarengan tamanpa miyosaken pepinginan piyambak-piyambak. Punika badhe mbiyantu ngicalaken panyebab miyosipun bengkah punika – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Brahmananda lan Gargamuni Swami, 31 Juli 1970 Panjenengan damel samakipun pustaka dados nengsemaken, saengga kanthi piyambakipun para priyantun punika dados kepranan kangge maos seserepan ingkang wonten ing saklebeting pustaka punika. Samak pustaka punika minangka manah lan indriya-indrya, senaos dene isenipun pustaka minangka sang atma – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Amogha das (TP), 22 Mei 1972 Kawula ngajeng-ajeng kersanipun pakempalan kainsapan Krishna punika badhe dipuncathet wonten nglebet sejarah minangka pakempalan ingkang nanggel jawab ngraharjakaken jagat. Sakleresipun, namung pakempalan kawula sedaya punika kemawon ingkang dados satunggaling pangajeng-ajeng kangge ngraharjakaken jagat saking sedayanipun alangan saha bencana – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Sucandra das (TP), 1 Januari 1972 Panjenengan kedah tansah emut bilih menapa kemawon ingkang kawula sedaya tindakaken, sedayanipun wonten ing saklebetipun sistem parampara ingkang dipunwiwiti saking Gusti Pangeran Sri Krishna mangandhap dumugi dhateng kawula sedaya. Amargi menika, greget welas asihipun kawula sedaya kedahipun langkung dipuntujokaken dhateng piweling punika saha sanes dhateng wujud jasmani ingkang namung saged dipuntingali kemawon. Nalikanipun kawula sedaya nresnani piweling punika saha ngladosi Gusti Pangeran, mila kanthi piyambakipun raos welas asih saha pepinginan kawula sedaya kangge ngladosi salira dados diendhegaken – Seratipun Srila Prabhupada dhateng Govinda dasi, 7 April 1970 Komentar Kawula sedaya minangka peranganing saliranipun Srila Prabhupada. Kersanipun asta damel sesarengan kawula sedaya kaliyan piyambakipun saged angsal damel lan piyambakipun saged ngraos lega sakwetahipun, mila kawula sedaya kedah manunggalaken kainsapan kawula sedaya kaliyan kainsapan piyambakipun.

Comment The unfolding of the mission of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu under the banner of the modern day Krishna consciousness movement is a very exciting time to be performing devotional service. Srila Prabhupada, the Founder-acarya of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness has brought onto the world scene a life-changing phenomenon in the form of his Translations, Bhaktivedanta Purports, Lectures, Conversations, and Letters. Here lies the key to the respiritualization of the whole human society. Vani, Personal Association and Service in Separation - Quotes My Guru Maharaja passed in 1936, and I started this movement in 1965, thirty years after. Then? I am getting the mercy of guru. This is Vani. Even the guru is not physically present, if you follow the Vani, then you are getting help. – Srila Prabhupada Morning-walk Conversation, 21 July 1975 In the absence of physical presentation of the Spiritual Master the Vaniseva is more important. My Spiritual Master, Sarasvati Gosvami Thakura, may appear to be physically not present, but still because I try to serve His instruction I never feel separated from Him. I expect that all of you should follow these instructions. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Karandhara das (GBC), 22 August 1970 From the very beginning I was strongly against the impersonalists and all my books are stressed on this point. So my oral instruction as well as my books are all at your service. Now you GBC consult them and get clear and strong idea, then there will be no disturbance. Disturbance is caused by ignorance; where there is no ignorance, there is no disturbance. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Hayagriva das (GBC), 22 August 1970 So far personal association with the Guru is concerned, I was only with my Guru Maharaja four or five times, but I have never left his association, not even for a moment. Because I am following his instructions, I have never felt any separation. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Satyadhanya das, 20 February 1972 I shall remain your personal guidance, physically present or not physically, as I am getting personal guidance from my Guru Maharaja. – Srila Prabhupada Room Conversation, 14 July 1977 Please be happy in separation. I am separated from my Guru Maharaja since 1936 but I am always with him so long I work according to his direction. So we should all work together for satisfying Lord Krishna and in that way the feelings of separation will transform into transcendental bliss. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Uddhava das (ISKCON Press), 3 May 1968 Comment Srila Prabhupada offers many revealing truths in this series of statements. Srila Prabhupada's personal guidance is always here. We should be happy in feelings of separation from Srila Prabhupada. In Srila Prabhupada's physical absence his Vaniseva is more important. Srila Prabhupada had very little personal association with his Guru Maharaja. Srila Prabhupada's oral instruction, as well as his books, are all at our service. Feelings of separation from Srila Prabhupada transform into transcendental bliss. When Srila Prabhupada is not physically present, if we follow his Vani, we get his help. Srila Prabhupada never left Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati's association, not even for a moment. By consulting Srila Prabhupada's oral instructions and his books we get clear and strong ideas. By following Srila Prabhupada's instructions we will never feel separated (disconnected) from him. Srila Prabhupada expects all his followers to follow these instructions in order to become empowered siksa-disciples of him. Using Media to Spread Krishna's Message So go on with your organization for distribution of my books through press and other modern-media and Krishna will certainly be pleased upon you. We can use everything – television, radio, movies, or whatever there may be – to tell about Krishna. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Bhagavan das (GBC), 24 November 1970 The mass-media can become such an important instrument in spreading our Krishna consciousness movement and I am glad to see that you are endeavoring to explore how this can be done. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Nayanabhirama das (TP), 9 January 1971 I am very encouraged by the reports of the tremendous success of your TV and radio programs. As much as possible try to increase our preaching programs by using all the mass media which are available. We are modern day Vaishnavas and we must preach vigorously using all the means available. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Rupanuga das (GBC), 30 December 1971 If you are able to arrange everything so that I can simply sit in my room and be seen by the world and speak to the world, then I shall never leave Los Angeles. That will be the perfection of your L.A. Temple. I am very, very encouraged by your proposal to flood the medias of your country with our Krishna Consciousness program, and see that it is practically taking shape under your hands, so I am all the more pleased. - Srila Prabhupada Letter to Siddhesvar das and Krishnakanti das, 16 February 1972 You should try and get these TV personalities to show our books and advertise them over the air. This will be the real success of our endeavors with the media. - Srila Prabhupada Letter to Mukunda das, 21 February 1973 His Divine Grace was very pleased to hear your proposal for systematically amassing a subject by subject encyclopedic compilation of all of Srila Prabhupada's teachings and instructions as found in his books. – Letter from Srila Prabhupada's Secretary to Subhananda das, 7 June 1977 Comment Following in the footsteps of his Guru Maharaja Srila Prabhupada knew the art of engaging everything for Krishna's service. Srila Prabhupada wants to be seen by the world and speak to the world. Srila Prabhupada desires to flood the media with our Krishna Consciousness programs. Srila Prabhupada wants his books distributed through the press and other modern-media. Srila Prabhupada was happy to hear about the plan for a subject by subject encyclopedia of his teachings. Srila Prabhupada says we should increase our preaching programs by using all the mass media that is available. Srila Prabhupada says we are modern day Vaishnavas and we must preach vigorously using all the means available. Srila Prabhupada says we can use everything – television, radio, movies, or whatever there may be – to tell about Krishna. Srila Prabhupada says that the mass-media can become such an important instrument in spreading our Krishna consciousness movement. Modern-media, modern opportunities For Srila Prabhupada, in the 1970's, the terms modern-media and mass-media meant the printing press, radio, TV and movies. Since his departure, the landscape of mass media has dramatically transformed to include Android phones, cloud computing and storage, e-book readers, e-commerce, interactive TV and gaming, online publishing, podcasts and RSS feeds, social networking sites, streaming media services, touch-screen technologies, web-based communications & distribution services and wireless technologies. In line with Srila Prabhupada's example we are, since 2007, using modern mass media technologies to compile, index, categorize and distribute Srila Prabhupada's Vani. Vanipedia's aim is to increase the visibility and accessibility of Srila Prabhupada's teachings on the web by offering a free, authentic, one-stop resource for • ISKCON preachers • ISKCON leaders and managers • devotees studying devotional courses • devotees wishing to deepen their knowledge • devotees involved in inter-faith dialogues • curriculum developers • devotees feeling separation from Srila Prabhupada • executive leaders • academics • teachers and students of religious education • writers • searchers of spirituality • people concerned about current social issues • historians Comment There is still more to be done to make Srila Prabhupada's teachings accessible and prominent in the world today. Collaborative web technologies provide us the opportunity to surpass all our previous successes. Vaniseva – the Sacred Act of Serving Srila Prabhupada's Vani Srila Prabhupada stopped speaking on the 14th of November, 1977, but the Vani he gave us remains ever fresh. However, these teachings are not yet in their pristine condition, nor are all of them readily accessible to his devotees. Srila Prabhupada's followers have a sacred duty to preserve and to distribute his Vani to everyone. We are therefore inviting you to perform this vaniseva. Always remember that you are one of the few men I have appointed to carry on my work throughout the world and your mission before you is huge. Therefore, always pray to Krishna to give you strength for accomplishing this mission by doing what I am doing. My first business is to give the devotees the proper knowledge and engage them in devotional service, so that is not very difficult task for you, I have given you everything, so read and speak from the books and so many new lights will come out. We have got so many books, so if we go on preaching from them for the next 1,000 years, there is enough stock. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Satsvarupa das (GBC), 16 June 1972 In June of 1972 Srila Prabhupada said that "we have got so many books" that we have "enough stock" to preach from for the "next 1,000 years." At that time, only 10 titles had been printed, so with all the extra books that Srila Prabhupada published from July 1972 to November 1977 the number of years of stock could easily be expanded to 5,000. If we add to this his oral instructions and letters, then the stock expands to 10,000 years. We need to expertly prepare all these teachings to be accessed and properly understood so that they can be "preached from" for this whole period of time. There is no doubt that Srila Prabhupada has unending enthusiasm and determination to preach the message of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. It does not matter that his vapu has left us. He remains in his teachings, and via the digital platform, he can now preach even more widely than when he was physically present. With complete dependence on Lord Caitanya's mercy, let us embrace Srila Prabhupada's vani-mission, and with more resolve than ever before, expertly prepare his Vani for 10,000 years of preaching. Over the past ten years I have given the framework and now we have become more than the British Empire. Even the British Empire was not as expansive as we. They had only a portion of the world, and we have not completed expanding. We must expand more and more unlimitedly. But I must now remind you that I have to complete the translation of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. This is the greatest contribution; our books have given us a respectable position. People have no faith in this church or temple worship. Those days are gone. Of course, we have to maintain the temples as it is necessary to keep our spirits high. Simply intellectualism will not do, there must be practical purification. So I request you to relieve me of management responsibilities more and more so that I can complete the Srimad-Bhagavatam translation. If I am always having to manage, then I cannot do my work on the books. It is document, I have to choose each word very soberly and if I have to think of management then I cannot do this. I cannot be like these rascals who present something mental concoction to cheat the public. So this task will not be finished without the cooperation of my appointed assistants, the GBC, temple presidents, and sannyasis. I have chosen my best men to be GBC and I do not want that the GBC should be disrespectful to the temple presidents. You can naturally consult me, but if the basic principle is weak, how will things go on? So please assist me in the management so that I can be free to finish the Srimad-Bhagavatam which will be our lasting contribution to the world. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to All Governing Body Commissioners, 19 May 1976 Here Srila Prabhupada is stating "this task will not be finished without the cooperation of my appointed assistants" to help him make "our lasting contribution to the world." It is Srila Prabhupada's books that have "given us a respectable position" and they are "the greatest contribution to the world." Over the years, so much vaniseva has been performed by BBT devotees, book distributors, preachers who have held firmly to Srila Prabhupada's words, and by other devotees who have been dedicated to distribute and preserve his Vani in one way or another. But there is still much more to do. By working together via the technologies of the brhat-brhat-brhat mrdanga (the World Wide Web) we now have an opportunity to build an unparalleled manifestation of Srila Prabhupada's Vani in a very short period of time. Our proposal is to come together in vaniseva and build a Vani-temple to be completed by November 4th, 2027, at which time we will all be celebrating the final 50th anniversary. 50 years of serving Srila Prabhupada in separation. This will be a very appropriate and beautiful offering of love to Srila Prabhupada, and a glorious gift to all the future generations of his devotees. I am glad that you have named your printing press the Radha Press. It is very gratifying. May your Radha Press be enriched in publishing all our books and literatures in the German language. It is a very nice name. Radharani is the best, topmost servitor of Krishna, and the printing machine is the biggest medium at the present moment for serving Krishna. Therefore, it is really a representative of Srimati Radharani. I like the idea very much. – Srila Prabhupada Letter to Jaya Govinda das (Book production manager), 4 July 1969 For the better part of the 20th century, the printing press provided the tools for successful propaganda from so many groups of people. Srila Prabhupada stated how expert the communists were to spread their influence in India via the pamphlets and books they distributed. Srila Prabhupada used this example to express how he wanted to make a large propaganda program for Krishna consciousness by distributing his books all over the world. Now, in the 21st century, Srila Prabhupada's statement "the biggest medium at the present moment for serving Krishna" can undoubtedly be applied to the exponential and unparalleled power of internet publishing and distribution. In Vanipedia, we are preparing Srila Prabhupada's teachings for proper representation on this modern mass distribution platform. Srila Prabhupada stated that the Radha Press of his devotees in Germany was "really a representative of Srimati Radharani." We are therefore certain that he would consider Vanipedia to be a representative of Srimati Radharani as well. So many beautiful Vapu-temples have already been built by ISKCON devotees – let us now build at least one glorious Vani-temple. The Vapu-temples offer sacred darshans to the forms of the Lord, and a Vani-temple will offer the sacred darshan to the teachings of the Lord and His pure devotees, as presented by Srila Prabhupada. The work of ISKCON devotees will naturally be more successful when Srila Prabhupada's teachings are situated in their rightful, worshipable position. Now there is a wonderful opportunity for all his current "appointed assistants" to embrace the vani-mission of building his Vani-temple and to inspire the whole movement to participate. Just as the enormous and beautiful Vapu-temple rising from the banks of the Ganges in Sridham Mayapur is destined to help spread Lord Caitanya's mercy all over the world, so too can a Vani-temple of Srila Prabhupada's teachings strengthen his ISKCON mission to spread all over the world and establish Srila Prabhupada's natural position for thousands of years to come. Vaniseva – Taking Practical Action to Serve Completing Vanipedia means Srila Prabhupada's teachings will be presented in a way that no one has ever done for the works of any spiritual teacher. We invite everyone to take part in this sacred mission. Together we will give Srila Prabhupada a unique exposure to the world on a magnitude only possible via the web. Our desire is to make Vanipedia the No.1 reference encyclopedia of Srila Prabhupada's teachings in multiple languages. This will only happen with the sincere commitment, sacrifice, and support of many devotees. To date, over 1,220 devotees have participated in building Vanisource and Vaniquotes and translations in 93 languages. Now in order to complete Vaniquotes and build the Vanipedia articles, the Vanibooks, the Vanimedia, and the Vaniversity courses we need more support from devotees with the following skills: • Administration • Compiling • Curriculum Development • Design and Layout • Finance • Management • Promotion • Researching • Server Maintenance • Site Development • Software Programming • Teaching • Technical Editing • Training • Translating • Writing Vaniservants offer their service from their homes, temples, and offices, or they can join us full-time for certain periods in Sridham Mayapur or Radhadesh. Donating For the past 12 years Vanipedia has been primarily financed by the book distribution from Bhaktivedanta Library Services a.s.b.l. To continue its construction, Vanipedia needs funding beyond the current capacity of BLS. Once completed, Vanipedia will hopefully be sustained by small donations from a percentage of many satisfied visitors. But for now, in order to complete the initial phases of building this free encyclopedia, the service of offering financial support is crucial. Supporters of Vanipedia can choose from one of the following options Sponsor: A person donating any amount they desire Supporting Patron: An individual person or legal entity donating at least 81 euros Sustaining Patron: An individual person or legal entity donating at least 810 euros with the possibility to make 9 monthly payments of 90 euros Growth Patron: An individual person or legal entity donating 8,100 euros with the possibility to make 9 yearly payments of 900 euros Foundational Patron: An individual person or legal entity donating 81,000 euros with the possibility to make 9 yearly payments of 9,000 euros Donations can be received online or through our PayPal account titled [email protected].

We will do our best to please you in your mission. May your teachings give shelter to millions of fortunate souls. Dear Srila Prabhupada, please empower us with all good qualities and abilities and continue to send us long term seriously committed devotees and resources to successfully build your glorious Vani-temple for the benefit of All. Dear Sri Sri Panca Tattva, please help us to become dear devotees of Sri Sri Radha Madhava and dear disciples of Srila Prabhupada and our Guru Maharaja by continuing to facilitate us to work hard and smart in the mission of Srila Prabhupada for the pleasure of his devotees. Thank you for considering these prayers Comment Only by the empowering grace of Srila Prabhupada, Sri Sri Panca Tattva, and Sri Sri Radha Madhava can we ever hope to achieve this herculean task. Thus we incessantly pray for Their mercy.
