This year , as part of warm up strategy , Temple had organized many seminars and talks all over Mumbai in various counsellors group and preaching programs . In each of these programs, temple devotees presented few anecdotes of book distribution which happened within the chowpatty congregation in previous years. At the end of each program, assembled

congregation and youth also shared their experiences of book distribution in previous marathons. A similar get together will also be arranged in each of the above places after the marathon is over as a thanks giving and devotees will be sharing their fresh experiences of this year’s marathon. We are then planning to put all those experiences and stories in a simple spiral bound book and present it to H.H. Radhanath maharaj in January.
