From Vanimedia
If anyone wants to establish a strong relationship with Srila Prabhupada it is very important to hear from Him. Practically this hearing constitutes the perfection of our hearing and offers so much solace and clarity within our hearts as we live in this world of confusion. Srila Prabhupada often explains to his disciples...
- Never think that I am absent from you. Physical presence is not essential; presence by message (or hearing) is real touch.
- Never try to hear someone who is not in our line. It is simply a waste of time to hear and then again have to rectify the mistake.
- You will become perfect preacher. Preach only what you have heard from Krsna and guru, that's all. Don't add and subtract. Then you are secure.
- Whatever you are hearing from me, whatever you are learning from me, you have to distribute the same in toto without any addition or alteration. Then all of you become the spiritual master.

Goal
We want to offer to the worldwide followers of Srila Prabhupada at least 1008 of these 3 to 5 minute clips of Srila Prabhupada's classes - all subtitled with at least 32 and up to 64 languages. This project will surely prove to be one of the most uniting forces of Srila Prabhupada's multi language family from all corners of the globe. It will also greatly help to increase the family members of Srila Prabhupada by making it easy to introduce Srila Prabhupada's classes to the people of each nation. Please support this effort generously by joining one of the language teams.
Initial Goal
Our initial goal for the first class is to have at least 32 languages subtitled by Gaura Purnima.
