October 2001

Poring over literature and inquiring from saints and pandits on topics people ask questions on.

I would love to see more questions of essential nature coming up, for acting as a consultant in satisfying people's curiosities isn't very fulfilling. Questions must have a progressive aim in devotion.

• Fusing my brain

• If anyone'd like to answer all those questions on my behalf...

When questions are finished, the work is over.

God willing, time permitting. There is merit to this.

I am presently working on some introductory level materials that could be molded into a substantial booklet.

Estimated package production cost ca. à $1.50 USD – the packages need to be sponsored.

Uncertain. There is merit to the concept, but we don't have the staff and I can't be the entire staff.

Time to develop. Assistant editors to take care of day-to-day content management.

April 2004

Gaudiya Kutir is an organization established to further the interests of the classical alignments of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition. It has been working as an umbrella of sorts for many of my ongoing projects.

• President, and as such all it entails – overseeing most everything ongoing
• And doing the bulk of the work that needs to be overseen, too...
• Technical solutions for the website

We could use more people onboard. Especially people skilled with paper work in the U.S.

Some recent staff changes are calling for a need to regroup and review future prospects as far as the organization’s existence as a legal entity (and all the paper work) is concerned.

The site engine needs to be re-coded from a scratch. A new XML-based "root text format" needs to be developed. Full text search engine needs to be employed. I have a production schema for the new engine I need to start working on.

A good deal of time. This is a project that should be given a grant for – for editing as well as development work.

January 2002 / December 2003

No change to current status, nothing happening. Searchable archives are kept online for the foreseeable future.

Ads on the site bring in an income of about $1.50 per week for server costs. Ads with a better yield would be welcome, the site still has a good deal of traffic and a corresponding server usage.

Time permitting, will work on an English versions of Babaji Maharaja’s Gutika and Prarthana-commentary. Plans on publishing e-books at www.krishnacaitanya.com are in the air. See E-books.

Time, lots of it. Help from people skilled in Bengali and Sanskrit. Editors, proofreaders, etc. Finances are independent of me as far as printing is concerned. (I will not be funding any, as I have nothing to fund with.)
