The ceremony took place to honor top book distributors connected to Mayapur. These included Banamali Mukund prabhu, Bharadwaj prabhu , Kamal Nayan prabhu and devotees in name of HH Jay Pataka Swami who were among the top 15 individual contributors worldwide. HG Gourdham prabhu, HG Venu dhari prabhu and HG Sankarsan Nitai prabhu were also honored for playing an important role in managing book distribution.
The results for last year distribution were released at end of January, 2015 on World Sankirtan Newsletter website (http://www.wsnl.net/hist/WSN2014c.htm#pageT) .
