First time editors of a city meditation site – read this

Getting a password to edit the site

  • If you dont have a password, please get in touch via mms
  • We use a central login site for all of our sites, but logging in should be the same as for any other site. If you run into issues you can look at the help page, get in touch via phone or mms, or mail at help@vasudevaserver.org

So – where should I start?

If you just want to get a basic site up and running as quickly as possible, then

or you want to create the best meditation site in your city (please pick this one!)

  • Get some ideas – here are some good ideas other sites have done
  • Make a plan What kind of a site would you, as a seeker like to visit? This is the kind of site you should aim to build for the seekers in your city!
What you can achieve: Some of our sites bring about 13.000+ visitors per month or around 100+ seekers to our classes every month or two months: eg www.meditacaobrasil.com and www.meditacaosp.com . Both of them were started from zero, having around 5-20 people coming to classes, and nowadays we always have more than 100 people in our classes – 80% or more from the sites. The typical age group of seekers coming to the classes is 18-35 years old.

Creating a basic site

Fill in the home page By default you will be using the Dhyana theme – you can handle many of the home page customisations from the ‘Customise’ page. Read more about the Dhyana theme

Write 3 important pages – About, Sri Chinmoy and Our Classes. To begin – try and add at least 3 paragraphs about each, you can always fill out more later.

You can look at other pages for inspiration and you can translate things you like in your own language (if it hasn’t been done already somewhere else) – but please don’t copy! It will hurt both your site and the site you are copying from in search rankings.
