- Launched on the 1st of February 2015, our Uniting Śrīla Prabhupāda's Multi-lingual Family project to translate Śrīla Prabhupāda's Introduction to his Bhagavad-gita As It Is, in 108 plus languages, is gathering momentum. 13 languages are already completed, with 24 other languages in process. There are 24 eight-minute videos to subtitle and translating them takes no longer than 24 hours of seva.
- Our goal is to complete at least 108 languages by the 20th February 2016 - the 50th Anniversary of Srila Prabhupada speaking it - which will also be Lord Nityananda's Appearance Day.
- Please consider participating by sending us an email. You can make a wonderful offering to Śrīla Prabhupāda and the world.
- You can read about the project, receive some instructions for translators to start serving and see the article by Madhava Smullen published in the ISKCON NEWS on March 12, 2015
- This sortable table, listing over 120 languages, shows for each language the number of Videos translated, the translators, the number of speakers and where it is spoken.
