World Sankirtan Newsletter February 2018
Hare Krishna,
Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada!
Things are looking really good in the world. Last year, we again increased the book distribution worldwide, and now for the first time we received book scores from Havana. You read that right: Havana, Cuba. Not only did the Havana devotees send their score but they were the No. 1 temple in Latin America, with 1,791 book points.
A government official in Russia once said, before the fall of communism in Russia that three things would cause the downfall of communism: Western dress, Western music, and Hare Krsna. Cuba remained a stronghold of communism for almost six decades, but now with many of Srila Prabhupada’s books going out, it’s possibly just a question of time before Cuban communism caves in and Krsna consciousness arises.
Your servant, Vijaya Dasa

Deadline for scores is the 15th of the next month

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.
