WSNL for July 2023
July was another glorious month of book distribution for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada, with at least 435,023 books and magazines distributed worldwide (and even more that are unreported — what to do?). In the Large Temple category, Radhadesh had the biggest increase — 354% and 2,207 book points.

Raj’s timely help – and interest in the Bhagavatam
I was recently looking at new property for our ladies’ ashram in Wellington. We moved out of a large house and needed to store our things before moving into our next location, so we needed a storage facility fast! That’s when I was introduced to an Indian man named Raj.
