Completely redesigned the websites with a contemporary visual and user experience while retaining their spiritual character.
Using WordPress, Elementor, and Shopify according to the specific functional needs of each platform.
Building SEO and AEO-led content architecture to improve the discoverability of spiritual, historical, and institutional content.
Creating AI films, reels, long-format videos, and video edits to bring spiritual stories and teachings to digital audiences.
Bringing together heritage, technology, content, search, and contemporary storytelling within one evolving digital ecosystem.
The Challenge
Established in 1918 by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupad, Gaudiya Mission is a historic spiritual institution headquartered at Baghbazar, Kolkata, dedicated to preserving and propagating the teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition.
With more than a century of spiritual heritage, the challenge was to bring this vast legacy into a contemporary digital environment without losing its authenticity and devotional character. Different initiatives of the Mission also had different audiences and functional requirements, requiring more than a one-platform approach.
The Strategic Question
How do we bring a century-old spiritual legacy to today’s digital audience while preserving its authenticity, depth, and devotional purpose?
Our Approach
CI360 is working with Gaudiya Mission across three distinct digital properties, using different technologies according to the purpose of each platform.
We completely redesigned and developed Prabhupad Glories, creating a contemporary digital archive dedicated to the life, teachings, publications, institutions, activities, and legacy of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Prabhupad. The site brings together extensive historical and spiritual material within a more accessible modern experience.
Our work also encompasses GaudiyaMission.org, the Mission’s principal digital presence, and the Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Museum website, which we are currently transforming. The museum itself is described as the world’s first museum dedicated to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and combines manuscripts and cultural heritage with digital galleries, 3D animation, holographic presentations, and other immersive experiences.
Rather than forcing every requirement onto the same technology, we work across WordPress, Elementor, and Shopify, selecting platforms according to content, publishing, e-commerce, and user-experience needs. Across all three websites, the designs have been reimagined to create a cleaner, contemporary, and more intuitive experience while respecting the institution’s spiritual identity.
Beyond website development, our mandate includes SEO and AEO, helping organise a vast repository of spiritual and historical knowledge for better search and answer-engine discoverability. We also create and edit AI-led films, long-format videos, reels, and social media content, supported by social media boosting to extend the Mission’s digital reach.
Preserving a Timeless Legacy for a Digital Generation
CI360 is helping Gaudiya Mission translate more than a century of spiritual heritage into contemporary digital experiences, making its history, teachings, and institutions more accessible to audiences across generations and geographies.
