Revision as of 13:07, 19 June 2015
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. 25 languages are already completed, with 21 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 Śrīla Prabhupāda speaking it - which will also be Lord Nityananda's Appearance Day. You can watch the videos and read the texts here.
Please consider participating by sending us an email. You can make a wonderful offering to Śrīla Prabhupāda and to 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
