The World Sankirtan Newsletter for August 2018
Hare Krsna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
An interesting thing happened in the USA : Paramesvara Prabhu distributed 280 Arabic books in August. That’s about ten Arabic books a day. Amazing!
Another interesting score is one that Lord Krsna will be especially pleased by: the No. 2 temple in the world in August was Vrindavan, the village of Krsna’s appearance. The devotees did 21,155 book points. They distribute large numbers of books right at the temple, and there is also a traveling book distribution team. I’m sure that Krsna is very pleased with His devotees at the Krishna-Balaram temple.
Your servant,
Vijaya Dasa

(*)Better than to Jan-Aug 2017 last year FAIR PLAY RULES 1997 GBC Resolution #103: That the score system for the Sankirtan Newsletter is changed to include the following for individual distribution: 1. The category "Regular" (a) to count only literature which is actually sold for some profit (ideally double BBT price) and given into the hands of the receivers personally. (b) literature distributed by accepting post dated checks shall only be counted when at least the BBT price has been received. 2. The new category "Subsidized" for the following methods of distribution for individuals: (a) devotees working in teams of two or more and recording their group effort as one score. (b) subsidized books which are sold for BBT price or less. (c) sponsored books which are given to people who can value them (i.e. VIPs, libraries, schools, prisons, etc.). Those individuals who are doing these types of subsidized distribution must specify it when reporting scores to the newsletter. Temple and Country scores stay the same. There is no need to report temple scores in two categories. 3. Free distribution Free distribution by individuals and temples who give out literature free of cost shall not be counted in the newsletter (except as provided for in "Subsidized" above). Note: Individuals distributing an unusually large number of books will automatically be put in the Special Teams Unlimited (Subsidized) category unless they explain why they belong in the Regular category.
