Srila Prabhupada Archive Donation Campaign
Dear friends and well-wishers of Srila Prabhupada's original books and teachings. We are asking you to join us and help distribute Srila Prabhupada's original books far and wide.
For almost ten years we have been working on this website (in different capacity) and paying for its online hosting. Donations have covered some of it, but mostly ourselves. Long story short, due to a failing business, I'm back to working full time on this website again. But if I cannot generate enough donations from visitors and patrons, I'm forced to shut down, and look for work elsewhere until I can pay the bills myself again.
With just $108 per month, we can cover server expenses, CDN for audio and media files, domain name and such. This is minimum operational cost to see our project survive, paying the bills and keeping its web presence. Your generous support means we can go on sharing Srila Prabhupada's original books with many fortunate souls.
With funding, or an actual budget, we can hire developers to turn the archive into an app, and faster develop new functionality. We can import more content, build infrastructure and improve our software suite in many ways. We can open up for the effort to collect Srila Prabhupada's original translations, and employ people in that capacity.
All the work we do is made publicly available on GitHub. Anyone with some technical know-how could build a website like ours, or build an app or something else. We are all still hoping for a new original VedaBase app, with index and media and all the bells and whistles. But until then, we chop wood and carry water...
Thanks for your consideration,
Team SPA (Srila Prabhupada Archive)
