World Sankirtan Newsletter for October 2016
Hare Krsna,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!
You may have heard that the Russian government is trying to stop book distribution. It passed a law that does not allow anyone from any religion to promote his beliefs, and if anyone gets caught, he invites a big fine. When the devotees in Russia heard this, it caused them transcendental anxiety. Devotees are known to be quite fearless, however, so they continued distributing anyway. One devotee was caught and went to court. Fortunately, he had a good lawyer. So the judge did not rule that the devotee had done something wrong. Rather, he threw out the case. That was the protection of Lord Caitanya, and it set a precedent.
Now the devotees in Russia are doing huge in book distribution. Saint Petersburg had a 340% increase, with 19,676 book points. The No. 1 medium temple was Novosibirsk, with 7,547 book points. And eight of the top ten small temples are in Russia.
But look out Russia! The USA is way ahead of you for the year. There’s a nice, warm transcendental competition between Russia and the USA every year, and what’s amazing is that every year the USA is way ahead of Russia, but in December Russia pulls ahead and wins. In December, in Russia, it’s freezing! How do they do it? This has gone on for the last eight years. But if Russia wins this year I’m really going to be shocked, because the USA is 244,000 book points ahead, and it’s the end of November.
Your servant,
Vijaya Dasa
Here is an episode from a harinama in Grand Central Station in NYC:
A young lady pointed to the Bhagavad-gita on the table and said, “I have that one.” Seeing the Science of Self-Realization next to it, she added, “I have that one, too. How much do they cost?”
I responded, “They cost five dollars each.” She gave me a ten and said she wanted both.
“For a friend?” I asked, and she said, “Yes.”
I handed her an invitation to the local Gita classes, telling her that we have a free vegetarian meal after the class. It is wonderful that people so much appreciate the books that they want to buy them for friends.
Your servant, Krishna-kripa Dasa

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 more than 20,000 books in a month will
automatically be put in the Special Teams Unlimited category unless they
explain why they belong in the Regular category.
