There are seven divisions, or petals, in the whole Vanipedia project. At the moment there are five petals that are filled with content: '''[[Vanisource:Main Page|Vanisource,]]''' where you can read the archived collection of Śrīla Prabhupāda's books, lectures, conversations and letters, '''[[Vanimedia:Main Page|Vanimedia,]]''' where you may listen to and watch many audio and video clips of Śrīla Prabhupāda's lectures and conversations. In addition, we are now beginning to create articles in the '''Vanipedia''' petal (the site where you are now) and recently we started the '''[[Vaniversity:Main Page|Vaniversity petal]]''' with some crosswords.
        var h = document.getElementById('vp-cd-hours');
        var m = document.getElementById('vp-cd-mins');
        var s = document.getElementById('vp-cd-secs');
        if (d) d.textContent = Math.floor(diff / 86400000);
        if (h) h.textContent = String(Math.floor((diff / 3600000) % 24)).padStart(2, '0');
        if (m) m.textContent = String(Math.floor((diff / 60000) % 60)).padStart(2, '0');
        if (s) s.textContent = String(Math.floor((diff / 1000) % 60)).padStart(2, '0');
    }
    tick();
    setInterval(tick, 1000);
})();

In '''[[Vaniquotes:Main Page|Vaniquotes,]]''' you can experience the thematic mapping of Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings. We have created a very easy compiling process to populate the Vaniquotes petal. Compiling and studying in Vaniquotes is a '''[[Vaniquotes:classes and personal study should be undertaken penetratingly|penetrating way]]''' to absorb oneself in Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings. Each Vaniquotes page contains one or more quotes and is organized under a system of categories based either on a theme, personality, scripture or on a key word or phrase. As Vaniquotes grows, content for the other petals - in the form of written articles, reference guides, and other educational material will naturally develop.

Steadily Vanipedia is becoming a series of multi-faceted festivities of association with Śrīla Prabhupāda's teachings. The list of '''[[Appreciations for Vanipedia|devotees appreciating]]''' the offering Vanipedia makes is increasing rapidly. Scrolling through '''[[ What's in Vanipedia now|What's in Vanipedia NOW]]''' you will surely find something that captures your attention.

The Vanipedia petal is now beginning to unfold. Glancing through the first two completed thematic articles - '''Animal-Killing in Human Society''' and '''Buddha: A Vaisnava Perspective''' - one can experience the high standard of devotional research within Vanipedia, complete with easily accessed source notes and extensive references for additional reading and study in Vaniquotes. Just imagine the power of delivery to have 500 to 1,000 similar thematic multilingual articles, all interlinked with each other and all accessible in one place, under one platform! We also have some introductory articles that bring to light the wealth of content that Śrīla Prabhupāda delivers to us in Vaniquotes.</p>

*We are placing these videos on YouTube, in our '''[http://www.youtube.com/user/VanimediaMayapur/videos?view=0 Vanimedia Channel]''' and they can also be accessed '''[[:Vanimedia:Uniting Srila Prabhupada's Multi-lingual Family|via themes]].'''

'''Prabhupāda Speaks Around the World'''
 
*In Vaniquotes you can now listen while reading Śrīla Prabhupāda's lectures, conversations, interviews and morning walks - feel his presence, feel his mood. To date there are '''[[:Vaniquotes:Category:Pages_with_Prabhupada's_Audio_-_Umbrella_Category|over 3,500 pages with clips available]]''' and we are aiming for 5,000 by the end of 2015.

'''Every Sentence from these Books is Compiled as Vaniquotes Pages'''
 
*'''[[Vaniquotes:Every Sentence from these Books is Compiled as Vaniquotes Pages|This category]]''' links to all of the existing pages.
 
*This list shows our progress to create Vaniquotes pages for all of the sentences in Srila Prabhupada's books. We are now working on Srimad-Bhagavatam 6 and 7 cantos. After completing up to 10th canto chapter 13 we will start the purports of the Caitanya-caritamrta.
 
*If you love compiling then please join us in this mission.

'''Completing an Audio Fidelity Check of Lecture and Conversation Transcriptions'''
 
*We are inviting volunteers to attentively listen to Śrīla Prabhupāda and, while reading, to check the transcriptions for accuracy. This project was launched on the 19th of April 2014. As of the 2nd May 2015, 34 volunteers have proofread 745 files and 3,845 missing words and 4,993 edits have been entered into Vanisource. An explanation '''[[Vanisource:Śrīla Prabhupāda's Audio to Text Fidelity Project|is given here...]]'''
 
'''Adding Scans of Śrīla Prabhupāda's Letters'''

'''Creating New Categories for Vanisource'''

<div align=left><p>A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda is a self-realized, pure devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa. While physically present among us he shared the essence of Vedic knowledge liberally and without prejudice. His only desire was to fulfill his spiritual master's desire – to introduce the process of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the world.</p>
<p>
Śrīla Prabhupāda showed us the importance of living life according to the directions given in scripture. He spoke and wrote profusely so that many may have this guidance in life, and he wished that every person on the planet had the opportunity to read his books now and in the future.</div>
