There was arranged a small rathyatra in one of the newly developing area of Surat called Vesu by the devotees of Sri Sri Sacinandan Bhaktivriksh group on 16th July, 2017 under the guidance of ISKCON Surat vice president H.G. Vrindavan Dasa prabhu. The purpose of this rathyatra was to attract people towards Krsna Consciousness. The route of this Rathyatra covered more than 6 residencies area. As Srila Prabhupada once wrote in his letter of 16th july, 1969 to Brahmananda "This sankirtana party and our book department are very, very important; they are our right and left hands, so everything should be done very carefully and in remeberance that this is Krsna's bussiness that we are executing. Because we are doing Krsna's bussiness does not mean that we should be less careful, but it means we should be much more careful than someone who is performing activities simply for sense gratification. So instruct boys in that way." So H.G. Radhesh Dasa prabhu instructed his team of 20 devotees in the same manner as Srila Prabhupada wanted and devotees got much enthusiasted so that they could be able to distribute 795 Srila Prabhupada's books in just 2 hours.
The books distribution report of this rathyatra is as follows:
Maha Big Books - 321
Medium books - 51
Small books - 423
BTG member - 1
