We hope your part in Srila Prabhupada's Sankirtan party, ISKCON [!] is growing with enthusiasm.
I am improving current sankirtana and generally considering myself as part of ISKCON, although somehow it seems there are two ISKCONs (one ideal where we all assist Srila Prabhupad and one which is mixed)
HpS - ASA --- As many ISKCONs as people who join it.
- The insititution. Always will have porblems. Always. The devas agains the asuras, yet each fight has eternal results
- The community of friends, learning how to work as friends to satisfy our supreme friend i ISKCON
- Srila Prabhuapada. We must experience his direct concern for our situation and his guidance in Lord Caitanya's movement.
Any way we can help you?
YES. Please bless me, so I can always please you and parampara and follow morning program on 100%.
HpS - Hare Krsna!!!!! AgtSP. You will conquer all the obstacles. Just keep confident and making inprovements.
Srinatha Krsna Das et al were visiting for our Cultivation of the Human Spirit (CHS) symposium last weekend. Wonderful.
He commented that if LOB (and NOI) would open like a chapter in the SB on VDB.IO it would seem to give so much more access for study and teaching.
That would mean instead of opening to the untitled verse numbers, it would open to the whole booklet with each verse and their purports arranged as they are in the individual chapters of SB.
Yes, it is must have for new vedabase.io version (actually this feature is already planned and in my todo list). Sri Isopanisad has same issue.
I made recently one project for Sri Vaisnavas (www.uveda.org) and already did same for them, it works nicely with new system. But vedabase.io is more complex (e.g. multilingual and smallest unit is paragraph), so takes little longer.
HpS - Great news! Great news. Sastras are our Astrasd!!!
This is a suggestion from Users with very little knowledge of how much work it would take to make the change.
I am always happy to hear suggestions from users. If they are doable and make sense (like this one) I am happy to add them.
Need help?
Yes, regarding Vedabase (online and/or offline) I need suggestions from all kinds of users for desired features, expectations, ideas, etc...
And actually I had idea make some kind of online meeting or forum/chat group to find suggestions about missing features or any desires which can improve both projects (online and upcoming offline reader).
HpS - Maybe advertise it like: Please send suggestions on challenges that you face with Vedabase.io and improvements that you like by September 15th.
Then collect them. Look at them and talk back?
I am somehow envious of Christians as they were able to make Accordance Bible software which is packed with interesting features for advanced researchers. If Krishna will want I would love to bring offline reader into same (or higher) level to make 'ultimate research tool' :)
Send some news: VDB.IO? Family? Yatra? How long it take you to buy Audi?
Will send in another letter.
Hare Krishna,
Your servant Prahlad Nrsimha das
HpS - Thank you. Thank you for this Blog!
Maintaining VedaBase.Io is bigger than "owning Audi".
