About

+

+ Who we are and what we're building +

+ + +
+ {/* ---- Mission ---- */} +
+

Our Mission

+
+

+ + Prabhupāda Says + {" "} + is built by a small team of Prabhupādānugas — devotees dedicated + to preserving and presenting the teachings of His Divine Grace + A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda exactly as he gave them, + without alteration, reinterpretation, or institutional bias. +

+

+ Our sole purpose is to make Śrīla Prabhupāda's vāṇī{" "} + — his words, books, letters, and instructions — freely available + to sincere seekers everywhere, presented as faithfully as possible + in a modern, accessible format. +

+

+ We are an independent project. We are not affiliated with, nor do + we represent or promote the views of, any institution, governing + body, or faction within the broader Vaiṣṇava community. Our work + speaks for itself: Śrīla Prabhupāda's words, as they are. +

+
+
+ + {/* ---- Data Source ---- */} +
+

About the Data

+
+

+ The content on this site is sourced from the{" "} + + pre-1980s Vedabase + {" "} + — the original, unrevised collection of Śrīla Prabhupāda's + literary and personal works compiled during and shortly after his + physical presence. +

+

+ We are aware that additional letters, documents, conversations, + and initiated disciples' records were discovered in the years + following 1980. Some of this material may not yet be reflected on + Prabhupāda Says. We are actively working to verify, index, and + incorporate these documents into our database as quickly and + carefully as possible. +

+

+ If you have access to original documents, corrections, or + historical information that could improve the accuracy of this + archive, we welcome your contribution. +

+ Our work is organized into three phases — each building on the + last. +
