ISKCON Transcriptions—www.iskcon-transcriptions.com is a new website that brings edited transcriptions from seminars and lectures to a computer near you. Lectures and seminars occur regularly all over the ISKCON world. If we are not present, it's unlikely we will get to hear about the content. And even when we are present, memory does not usually serve as well as we would like.
Ananta Vrndavan Dasa created this website to share talks in a form you can use to research and browse. The site is fully searchable and contains references to Srila Prabhupada's books. You can even search www.vedabase.com directly from this website.
Transcriptions are available in English and Russian, with Spanish being added soon.
You can leave comments about individual transcriptions, and you can even rate the website. Ananta invites your feedback to help him develop a more interesting and useful site.
If you would like to help by transcribing lectures and seminars, click on the "Contact Us" button on the navigation bar at the top of the site and offer your assistance.
"Any help is appreciated," Ananta says. "We can pay you for doing transcriptions, translations, and editing, or you can sponsor others to undertake the work."
"I'm huge admirer of ISKCON seminars and lectures," Ananta says, "and I listen to them almost every day. Sometimes while hearing some amazing realization and philosophical points, I get this strong desire to share them with everyone. So with this in mind I decided to dedicate some of my time and energy to transcribing the most popular seminars and lectures for sharing."
You can also "Share" what you find at iskcon-transcriptions.com on Facebook, Twitter, and a range of similar sites. Adding this social aspect to the site means you can discuss your favorite philosophical points with your friends. You can also save a lecture onto your computer as a PDF.
"We can all work together to live and share this wonderful philosophy and culture," Ananta says.
