Effective Organization is a foundation of every successful enterprise,especially in Sankirtan
Organized communities sell significantly more of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books compared to unorganized ones – by thousands or even tens of thousands.
Organization leads to both increased quantity and improved quality in book distribution.
Lack of organization leads to stagnation, with no measurable progress or improvement.
Setting goals and measuring results are essential components of successful organization.
Disorganization breeds stagnation and fading, while organization revitalizes teams and empowers consistent productivity.
Success attributed to organization, not luck – consistent results seen in multiple communities worldwide.
Common excuse (“too busy to organize”) refuted with the metaphor of sharpening the ax and quote from Brian Tracy: “Every minute you spend planning can save you five to ten minutes in execution.”
Śrīla Prabhupāda himself exemplified meticulous planning, spending 69 years preparing for 12 years of explosive global outreach.
Concrete examples of dramatic increases in book distribution after organizing:
ISKCON Toronto: 10,000 (2009) → 35,000 (2010)
ISKCON Laguna Beach: 400 (2011) → 15,000 (2012)
ISKCON Washington D.C.: 5,000 (2010) → 50,000 (2012)
Team ISV: From dozens per month to tens of thousands over a decade.
