WSNL for April 2023
Vaisesika Prabhu and his jolly team of book distributors at ISKCON of Silicon Valley (ISV) are doing humongous book distribution through motels. For those of you who don’t know, it’s called Motel Gita; they’ve done it for years. Some devotees attend the annual convention of motel owners, and they sign-up especially the Indian motel owners, who put the books in the rooms for
guests. In April, the ISV devotees put 19,300 Gitas in motels around the USA and was the No. 1 temple America, with 27,759 book points. Over the years, Motel Gita has distributed 850,000 Bhagavad Gitas this way, along with 90,000 other books like SSR, POY, Chant and be Happy, Higher Taste and Krsna Book. In other countries (New Zealand, India, and Canada), 10,000 Bhagavad Gitas have been distribute to motels.
Individual scores: Hemagiri Prabhu, in Mumbai, a long-time top book distributor, was No. 1 in April, with 4,008 book points. Another amazing individual, whom we’re just hearing about recently, is Bhakta Avatar in Austin, Texas. He was the No. 1 distributor worldwide of Arabic books, with 624 book points. Along with other books, he did a total of 2,321 book points.
