Abhidevananda wanted to create a Wikipedia-like encyclopedia for Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar and his various works. In early October of 2013, Sarkarverse was planned, and work on the project began. The project was made possible only with tremendous, voluntary assistance, primarily from Tito Dutta in India and Bryan G. White in the USA. Fred Bauder (USA) also provided considerable help. All three men are veterans of Wikipedia with technical expertise vital to Sarkarverse. The site was officially launched on 21 October 2013. | Abhidevananda wanted to create a Wikipedia-like encyclopedia for Prabhat Ranjan Sarkar and his various works.
