<\/a> Update on Vanipedia\u2019s Multi-language Subtitle Project.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada desired to have his books translated in all languages, and left ongoing instructions for this translation to continue perpetually.<\/p>\n

“We must translate and print books, as many as possible. “Print books” means we have got already book. Simply translate it in the particular language and publish it. That’s all. Idea is already there. You haven’t got to manufacture idea. So France is very important country. So printing and translation must go on. That is my request.” – Room Conversation with GBC members on March 1, 1977.<\/p>\n

To listen carefully to Srila Prabhupada with the intent to properly translate his words in our own languages, constitutes a very profound form of hearing. In order to faithfully represent what His Divine Grace is saying, every word must be reflected on. Thus this service offers a deep encounter with his teachings. It also helps us inquire submissively, and in various ways increases the quality of our service to Srila Prabhupada.<\/p>\n

Vanipedia has taken up the mission to build a solid foundation in order to facilitate the translation of Srila Prabhupada’s lectures and conversations in all languages. In just over two months of enthused service, Sahadeva has created 276 video clips<\/a> from Srila Prabhupada’s lectures and conversations. Rishab has created the English subtitles, and has coordinated the efforts of over 70 devotees who have kindly come forward to offer their translation services. Together we have already completed over 1,300 subtitles, spanning more than 40 languages. With a projection of 1,080 clips in 108 languages and with over 50,000 subtitles to make, there is lots of service to be grabbed. <\/p>\n

Here are some of the results so far:<\/p>\n

In a short time, Srila Prabhupada’s multi-lingual family can actually realize the premise that he did, in fact, build a house in which the whole world can live; by securing his Vani as both the roof and the foundational shelter of that house. Let’s unite around Srila Prabhupada’s voice, and help it to be heard by all of his family members and the people in general.<\/p>\n

If you want to be involved, or you know some other devotees who are passionate about assisting Srila Prabhupada to preach in other languages, please let us know, and we will happily facilitate you to get started. As they say, many hands make light work. The short 1 to 10 minute clips are very quick to translate, so a few hundred devotees translating an hour here, and an hour there will deliver substantial results. Please shower us with all your blessings to be fixed in our services. We can also use some help to create the videos and the English subtitles.
