Talk, Initiation Lecture, and Ten Offenses Lecture
Prabhupāda: ...worship prevents snake biting. That is a village worship. So in every demigod worship there are drum beaters. So a party of drum beaters were engaged, and when the fees, bill, of the drum beaters was to be paid, the demigod Mansa[?] was sold. They could not pay the bills. Similarly, we may print our books, but the binding charges are so high, then it will cost more than getting it from Japan. [chuckles] Jayānanda looks like Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. [laughter] Yes. He was tall and …

My dear Nayana Bhirama, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 21st November, 1970 and have noted the contents carefully. Yes, I am so glad to learn that you are distributing our books in colleges and schools so nicely. Actually this Krishna Consciousness Movement is a novel proposition to the world. The world is suffering on account of atheistic conviction of life,...
Buffalo My dear Rupanuga, Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated 12th November, 1970 and have noted the contents carefully. That the sannyasis have gone is all right. Also Gargamuni Maharaja is trying for Florida. That is good. I
My dear Abhirama, Please accept my blessings. I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated November 14, 1973. Regarding the initiations, I accept the following as my initiated disciples: Richard Richman---Raghava das Joel Peir---Caitanya Jivan das
My dear Bhakta Don, Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your recent letter undated. The topmost science is this Krsna Consciousness and that is a fact. The so-called modern science has become spoiled for lack of this perspective. Real science means to acquire perfect knowledge from the Parampara, not by so-called academic and empirical research. Such technique is bogus and will not help...
My dear Jayananda, Please accept my blessings. I am in receipt of your letter dated November 13, 1973. I was very happy to hear from you. I am always thinking of you and praying to Krsna for your advancement in Krishna Consciousness. That you are engaged in street Sankirtana in San Francisco is fully approved by me.

Tamala Krsna Dear Tamala Krsna Goswami, Please accept my blessings. After stopping in London and New York, we have now safely arrived in Los Angeles.

Just today we have received a letter from Guru das that the construction has...
Taunus My dear Hansadutta das: Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated November 21, 1974 and have noted the contents.

Both book selling and record selling are good, but book...

I’m sorry for the recent disruptions due to technical issues. I was traveling when the website was forced to switch servers for funding reasons. My plan was to rebuild the new version last year and relaunch in 2024, but unforeseen challenges delayed progress. However, I’m pleased to report the website is now more stable, usable and search engine friendly. I believe the updated software provides a better foundation for improvements for years ahead. I’m working to restore sorting for Spoken and Letters in an improved manner, along with adding images, and audio when funds allow. (Update: with your support I paid for the CDN server, but it was too late. All the audio files were scrubbed, so I have to reupload everything…)

Thank you for your patience during this transition. I appreciate your continued backing as we work to improve the website and once again become a valuable resource for Truth Seekers and Vaishnavas worldwide. Our mission remains to propagate the law books for the next 10,000 years, and build tools to better study these. We hope this will inspire others to make better applications as well.

Sincerely,
The developer

Śrīla Prabhupāda Archive

Welcome to the Srila Prabhupada Archive, a digital sanctuary dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing the timeless teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.

Collaboration is key

To unlock the archive’s full potential

We invite you to join our mission to preserve Srila Prabhupada’s teachings by contributing to the ‘Original VedaBase’ archive. Or maybe you want to use our archive to build the next Vedabase app?

Just as we are using Open Source software to build this website, we’re open sourcing our full archive, allowing anyone with some technical skill to build a similar website or app based on Srila Prabhupada’s original books and teachings.

We know this world is a dangerous place, and we will not be around forever. But we would not want our work to be in vain, so even if this website goes down, others may use our repositories to build something better. We’re still hoping someone comes along to build an amazing app!
