Welcome to Vanipedia, a dynamic, living encyclopedia of Śrīla Prabhupāda's words (vani). We are building an unparalleled digital repository of his text, audio, video, and images, comprehensively compiling his teachings from every angle of vision. More than just an archive, Vanipedia serves as a continual, worldwide platform for Śrīla Prabhupāda to actively teach the science of Krishna consciousness to the world for the benefit of all.
Authorized and Empowered
His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda is a self-realized, pure devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa and a loving spiritual teacher. His life's mission was singular: to fulfill his spiritual master's desire by introducing the science of Kṛṣṇa consciousness to the world.
He shared the pure essence of Vedic wisdom without restriction, teaching us by his own example how to live according to scripture. Wishing that every person on earth might benefit from his wisdom, he wrote volumes of transcendental literature and left countless recorded instructions to ensure his divine guidance would remain available forever.

| Nectar Drops from Srila Prabhupada |
| "I have seen one dark well. In your country, when I was guest in John Lennon's house in 1969, we saw in the garden there was a dark well. Dark well means a very deep ditch, well, but it is covered with grass. You cannot know that there is a deep well, but while walking, you may fall down within it. And it is already covered with grass, and it is very deep. If you fall down and you try to get out of it, because it is lonely place, nobody is there, nobody may hear you, and you may simply die without any help. So this materialistic way of life, without any knowledge of the outside world or without any knowledge... Outside world means, just like we are within this universe. It is covered. The round thing which we see in the sky, that is the covering. Just like a coconut shell: a coconut shell, within and without. Within the coconut shell it is darkness, without it is light. Similarly, this universe is just like the coconut. We are within." |
