Free for ISKCON projects
We're a small team of devotees and developers who believe Srila Prabhupada's books deserve the best preservation and widest distribution that modern technology can provide.
The project started around 2010 with a full export from the original edition VedaBase. Since then, we've been meticulously cleaning, structuring, and enriching these files — fifteen years of steady work. In 2023, we began using AI tools to accelerate: building indexes, enriching articles, cleaning transcripts, and now developing the reader app.
We work alongside the Bhaktivedanta Archives to ensure accuracy, and we share everything back. This is not a private project — every file is on GitHub, every change is tracked, and every devotee on the planet is welcome to use, share, and build upon this work.
"This Krsna consciousness movement is engaging everyone in the service of the Lord, and the result is that everyone is becoming happy."
All code and content on GitHub. The sacred knowledge belongs to everyone. Fork it, build on it, translate it.
AI helps us organize, translate, and build faster. But every decision is made by devotees. The technology serves the mission, never the other way around.
Built with Rust, Solid.js, and Tailwind. Powered by Claude AI. Hosted on Cloudflare.
Developer, translator, content creator, or devotee with a great idea — we'd love to hear from you.
