Here are some guidelines \u00a0for reporting your padayatra\u00a0 to the Padayatra Worldwide Ministry through articles, videos, photos, songs, etc. If you and the devotees doing this\u00a0 reporting study these guidelines, that will make your life, and mine also, much\u00a0 easier. That will also save us precious time, which could be used elsewhere in Guru and Gauranga\u2019s service. You will not have to later answer \u00a0the many questions that will come to you afterwards in order to make your article\/report \u00a0interesting, complete and publishable on the Padayatra website or in the Padayatra Worldwide Newsletter.<\/p>\n
