According to the Bhaktivedanta Archives, there are more than 500 unreleased recordings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. After 33 years, the Bhaktivedanta Archives will still not give any estimation when they will publish this audio asthey claim to be slowly workingon transcribing the lectures and trying to identify the date and place of each recording.

For so many years, the Bhaktivedanta Archives have provided us with a post-dated check, saying the audio will be released "in the future". The best course of action right now is to publish all of this unreleased audio online, even if some of it is of poor audio quality. Then the worldwide community of devotees can download the lectures, hear them, improve the quality, transcribe them,and upload their results back on the website. In this way the project will be most efficiently completed,and everyone can help in the Bhaktivedanta Archives' goal of responsibly archiving the audio.As time passes, the sound recorded on the original reels demagnetizes and will very soon be lost forever. Immediate action must be taken to save and widely distribute all of Srila Prabhupada's teachings.

The Bhaktivedanta Archives have repeatedly been offered ample help to get this project started immediately. Now it is just a matter of the Bhaktivedanta Archives agreeing to release all of the audio.

Devotees worldwide are concerned - as followers of Srila Prabhupada, we should be able to hear all of Srila Prabhupada's recordings. If you want the Bhaktivedanta Archives to release all of Srila Prabhupada's audio now, please sign below.

    • What possible excuse could we have for not doing whatever it takes, immediately, to distribute the Sampradaya Acarya's pure sound vibration?

    • The Archives claims that they are getting out of the publishing business, but actually, that's all that they do. Now they are working on a new version of the MP3 library and a new version of the VedaBase. That's called publishing!. They are simply using Srila Prabhupada as their "sugar daddy" so that they can have a comfortable life in the country!

    • Why is this a problem? Only because someone considers the priceless legacy left to ALL of Srila Prabhupad's followers their own personal property to be bought and sold. It is not yours to play with. Kindly release this treasure ASAP. The world is waiting to hear it. A false claim to proprietorship will only create further offense and ruin to your life.

    • Prabhupada would never have accepted his words and teachings being kept "secret". Our duty is to ensure that Prabhupada's legacy is available and distributed as widely as possible. For this reason, you have a moral obligation to make all these records public

    • It will be to Ekanatha Prabhu and the Bhaktivedanta Archives eternal credit and glory if they release all the hidden audio now and they will be recorded in history as heros and pure devotees to be looked back on with great respect and adoration! And if they continue to withhold and stand between the devotees and Srila Prabhupada's audio then they will have another fate. They are the architects of their own future. To reflect on the words of Abraham Lincoln, who said:"To sin by silencewhen they should protest makes cowards of men".

    • It's rather a simple idea, Prabhupada recorded these for a reason and it was not to be stuck collecting dust and in time dissolving altogether. "Simple for the simple mind, difficult for the crooked."

    • No means no; so there is no better time then, yes thankfully there is a way for you to finally get started in a fine lighthearted manner with God on your side for good in this regard, yes and no heavy reason to wait for any other time. No one will have to wait too long at all now, yes you will release all of Srila Prabhupada's unpublished audio !

    • please release the audio to the public. even if they are not yet archival quality, the global community can assist in making it so. the open-source software movement is a orecedent example of what can be done when the global community can efficiently do - as open-source software thrives, so too can the currently-unreleased audio of the bv archives.
