World Sankirtan Newsletter 2012 Totals Update
Hare Krsna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Mayapur-sasi Prabhu just sent me a new revised layout of the world sankirtan newsletter so It'll be easier for you to see. Moscow also sent in some late scores that made a big difference in the competition between the USA and Russia, they again took second place in the world.
Here is also some good news from Bali:
While in Bali, I was informed by the devotees of a special devotee who is a teacher at an elementary school and a book distributor. She works five days a week, and during the marathon she would go out on book distribution after teaching.
One way she would distribute was to go to small nearby villages. There she would speak to the seniormost person in the village and persaude him to allow her to speak to all the villagers. Sometimes, after giving a speech, she would distribute one hundred Bhagavad-gitas. People would come forward and donate for them. She would also go to the busy areas of Bali and surrounding areas and approach people to take books. In this way she did so well that she won the Prabhupada Marathon in Bali. Her name is Parvati-devi Dasi, and she's another fine example in Lord Caitanya's sankirtan mission.
Your servant,
Vijaya Dasa
