Vanipedia Cross-Channel Social Media Performance Reports
These monthly reports show how Śrīla Prabhupāda’s vāṇī is reaching people through Vanipedia’s social media channels. Just as book distribution carries his teachings from one person to another, these channels give his words an opportunity to reach people wherever they are—through a video, a short clip, a quotation, or a shared post. We launched the monitoring of the statistics on January 1st, 2026.
The figures recorded here help us see the extent of that service: how many people are being reached, how they are responding, and which offerings are finding their way to new audiences. More than simply measuring social-media activity, these reports help us appreciate how Vanipedia is contributing to the continued distribution of Śrīla Prabhupāda’s teachings and how that service is growing from month to month.

YouTube Observation: The distinction between reach and depth remains clear. Short clips produce substantially greater view volume, while the Memories archive continues to generate unusually strong viewing duration from comparatively modest view counts.
- Account Totals: 254,217 views | 92,642 viewers | 61,962 interactions | 19,873 engaged accounts | 1,024 profile visits | 1,566 followers
- Discovery Reach: 70% of all views came from non-followers, compared with 30% from followers.
- Interaction Reach: 73.9% of all interactions came from non-followers, compared with 26.1% from followers.
- Content Format: Reels generated 90.0% of all views and 94.5% of all interactions. Posts accounted for only 10.0% of views and 5.5% of interactions.
- Interaction Density: The platform generated approximately 24 interactions for every 100 views, demonstrating exceptionally strong response relative to its follower base.
| Post / Date | Views | Interactions | Performance Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 8 Reel | 57.2K | 13.8K | Highest-interaction Instagram post of the reporting period |
| Aug 26 Reel | 53.8K | 8.1K | Nearly matched the top post in reach and created a second major monthly surge |
| Aug 6 Reel | 15.1K | 3.6K | Strong lead-in performance before the August 8 peak |
| Aug 2 Reel | 8.1K | 1.9K | Strong early-month organic discovery |
| Aug 5 Reel | 7.9K | 2.1K | High interaction relative to its view count |
For Monday, the supplied Instagram activity panel shows the strongest follower presence during the overnight and early-morning hours:
- 12:00 AM — 358 active followers
- 3:00 AM — 368
- 6:00 AM — 391
- 9:00 AM — 352
- 12:00 PM — 133
- 3:00 PM — 114
- 6:00 PM — 261
- 9:00 PM — 328
Instagram Observation: Instagram's audience is now considerably larger than the follower count alone would suggest. With 92,642 viewers against 1,566 followers, discovery is overwhelmingly algorithmic rather than follower-dependent.
- Activity Totals: 190 posts | 4,762 reactions | 206 comments | 111 new members | 21,262 views
- Active Participation: 182 instances of members posting or commenting were recorded across the daily dataset.
- Single Peak View Day: August 11 — 3,565 views, 279 reactions and 23 comments.
- Second Major View Peak: August 29 — 2,004 views.
- Highest Reaction Day: August 30 — 814 reactions and 36 comments.
- Strongest Membership Day: August 21 — 8 new members.

| Monday | 177 |
| Tuesday | 153 |
| Thursday | 147 |
| Wednesday | 136 |

- Sunday 7:00 PM — 20
- Sunday 8:00 PM — 20
- Sunday 10:00 PM — 20
- Sunday 5:00 PM — 19
- Sunday 9:00 PM — 16
Tuesday evenings from 6:00–8:00 PM also show consistently strong activity.

Facebook Page Observation: Video has clearly become the Page's principal distribution engine. Although video represented fewer than half of all published posts, it produced nearly three quarters of views and more than four fifths of interactions.
| Platform | Views | Share of Combined Views |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | 293,631 | 35.9% |
| 254,217 | 31.1% | |
| Facebook Page | 248,321 | 30.4% |
| Facebook Group | 21,262 | 2.6% |
| Combined | 817,431 | 100% |
The most important change from the preceding reporting cycle is the increased balance between the three principal broadcast platforms. None of YouTube, Instagram or Facebook Page now accounts for even 36% of the combined view total.
Rather than one platform carrying the ecosystem, there are now three substantial and complementary distribution channels operating at comparable scale.
- The Ecosystem Has Become Genuinely Multi-Platform: YouTube, Instagram and Facebook Page generated 293.6K, 254.2K and 248.3K views respectively. This reduces dependence on any single algorithm and significantly broadens the potential discovery funnel.
- Instagram Is Still the Strongest Pure Discovery Engine: 70% of views and 73.9% of interactions came from people who do not follow the account. This means Instagram is repeatedly carrying Śrīla Prabhupāda's content outside the existing follower community.
- Facebook Page Video Has Emerged as a Major Growth Engine: Video accounted for approximately 73% of Page views and 82.6% of interactions. The strongest individual Facebook Page video, CHEATERS & CHEATED, generated 31.5K views and 3.3K interactions.
- YouTube Combines Immediate Reach With Long-Term Archival Value: Recent August clips generated strong initial performance, but older uploads such as Tested At The Time Of Death and Kindly Chant Hare Krishna For A Week remained the month's two most-viewed videos. This demonstrates that the YouTube archive continues to distribute content long after publication.
- Long-Form YouTube Content Serves a Different Function Than Shorts: The Remembers Śrīla Prabhupāda series receives far fewer views than short clips but generates exceptional watch time. This confirms that short-form and long-form content should not be judged by the same metric: one creates discovery, the other sustained hearing.
- August Produced More Than One Viral Window: The strongest activity was no longer confined to a single synchronized spike. August 8–15 produced a major wave across Instagram, Facebook Page and Facebook Group, while Instagram experienced another very large surge on August 26 and the Facebook Group surged again on August 29–30.
- Facebook Group Remains a Community Rather Than Broadcast Channel: Its 21.3K views are small compared with the broadcast platforms, but 4,968 reactions and comments from that audience indicate a very different interaction pattern. The Group's value lies in discussion, repeated participation and community formation rather than raw reach.
- Sunday Is the Clear Facebook Group Opportunity: Sunday has an activity index of 276 compared with 177 for the next strongest day, Monday. Sunday 5:00–10:00 PM is therefore the clearest high-attention publishing window in the current Group data.
- South Asia Remains the Core Facebook Group Audience: India alone accounts for 13,970 members, followed by Bangladesh and Nepal. Delhi, Kolkata, Dhaka, Bangalore and Kathmandu dominate the city rankings, while substantial audiences are also present in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and other diaspora communities.
- The Core Group Audience Is Mature Rather Than Youth-Dominated: 51.7% of members are aged 25–44, with another 29.1% aged 45 or above. Content can therefore continue to assume a reasonably mature level of philosophical and historical interest.
- Śrīla Prabhupāda's Direct Statements Consistently Perform Strongly: Across YouTube, Facebook Page and Facebook Group, concise, direct and sometimes striking statements repeatedly appear among the strongest-performing content. The data supports continuing to present substantive statements without excessively softening the message for social media.
August 2026 represents a substantial strengthening of the Vanipedia / Vanimedia social distribution ecosystem.
The most significant development is not simply the increase in total views, but the emergence of three major platforms operating at roughly comparable scale. YouTube, Instagram and Facebook Page each generated approximately a quarter-million or more views during the reporting period.
Instagram remains exceptionally effective at exposing new audiences to the content, YouTube combines discovery with sustained hearing and archival longevity, Facebook Page video has developed into another major broadcast channel, and Facebook Group continues to provide the more concentrated community environment.
Taken together, these platforms are increasingly functioning not as isolated social accounts but as complementary parts of a single distribution system: short-form discovery, repeated exposure, deeper hearing and community participation.
Combined view totals are useful as an indication of total platform activity, but they should not be interpreted as unique individuals because each platform defines and counts views differently.

YouTube Observation: July demonstrates two complementary forms of content consumption. Short Śrīla Prabhupāda clips supplied the largest volume of views, while long-form remembrance recordings generated substantial hearing time from much smaller audiences. Tamal Krishna Goswami Remembers Srila Prabhupada 02, for example, generated almost 139 hours of watch time from only 729 views.

- 55–64: 10.3%
- 18–24: 9.4%
- 65+: 8.7%
- 13–17: 1.1%
More than half of the Group audience is therefore concentrated between ages 25 and 44.

Facebook Page Observation: Video was already clearly outperforming static material in July. An average video generated approximately 1,425 views, compared with approximately 587 views per photo post — roughly 2.4 times as many views per published item.
| Platform | Views | Share of Combined Views |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | 186,997 | 43.7% |
| Facebook Page | 107,695 | 25.1% |
| 98,219 | 22.9% | |
| Facebook Group | 35,397 | 8.3% |
| Combined | 428,308 | 100% |
YouTube was the clear primary viewing platform during July, generating approximately 44% of all reported platform views.
Facebook Page and Instagram formed a second tier at roughly 108K and 98K views respectively, while the Facebook Group operated on a smaller scale but with considerably stronger community interaction relative to its view volume.
- YouTube Was the Main Distribution Platform in July: With 186,997 views, YouTube generated almost twice Instagram's viewing and approximately 44% of all four-platform activity.
- The YouTube Archive Has Significant Long-Term Value: Seven of the eight most-viewed videos listed above were published before July. Content therefore continues to find viewers months or even years after its initial publication.
- Short and Long YouTube Content Perform Different Services: Short clips maximize exposure, while long-form remembrance material produces sustained hearing. The Remembers series repeatedly generated 80–140 hours of monthly watch time from only a few hundred viewers.
- Instagram Was Already Primarily a Reel Platform: Reels accounted for 90.3% of views despite comprising fewer than half of published Instagram items. Static image posts contributed useful supporting content but were not the primary discovery mechanism.
- DRIVING TRUCKS Demonstrated Cross-Platform Strength: The same content generated 11,739 Instagram views and 11,384 Facebook Page views, showing that a strong short-form piece can successfully travel across platforms rather than being dependent on one particular algorithm.
- Facebook Page Video Clearly Outperformed Photos: Videos averaged roughly 1,425 views per post compared with approximately 587 for photos. The data strongly supports continuing video as the Page's principal reach format while retaining photos for complementary publishing.
- The Facebook Group Had an Exceptional July 8–13 Wave: Those six days produced 17,107 views — almost half of the month's entire Group activity. July 10 alone reached 3,469 views.
- One Facebook Group Post Achieved Exceptional Reach: The post beginning "But if you bring in Krsna..." reached 17,928 views and generated 1,304 reactions. Direct Śrīla Prabhupāda statements therefore demonstrated an ability to spread far beyond ordinary Group post performance.
- Evening Is the Strongest Facebook Group Publishing Window: Activity rises substantially from approximately 4:00 PM onward and peaks around 8:00 PM. Friday and Tuesday were the strongest overall days during July.
- South Asia Forms the Core Group Community: India, Bangladesh and Nepal dominate Group membership, while the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, South Africa, Malaysia and other countries provide a substantial international audience.
- The Audience Is Predominantly Adult: The 25–44 range represents slightly more than half of Facebook Group members, supporting substantive philosophical, historical and instructional content rather than requiring a predominantly youth-oriented approach.
July 2026 shows a social ecosystem in which the four platforms were already performing distinct but complementary functions.
YouTube was the principal viewing and sustained-hearing platform, supported by a valuable archive capable of continuing to generate traffic long after publication.
Instagram functioned primarily as a short-form discovery channel, with Reels overwhelmingly outperforming static posts.
Facebook Page demonstrated that the same video-oriented strategy could generate substantial additional distribution outside Instagram and YouTube.
Facebook Group operated less as a mass broadcast channel and more as an engaged community environment, while still demonstrating that an especially resonant Śrīla Prabhupāda quotation could reach tens of thousands of views.
The July data therefore already shows the foundations of a broader distribution system: evergreen hearing on YouTube, short-form discovery through Instagram and Facebook video, and concentrated devotee engagement through the Facebook Group.
Combined platform views indicate total reported platform activity and should not be interpreted as unique individuals, since the platforms use different definitions and counting methods for views.

YouTube Observation: June already shows the pattern that became increasingly important in subsequent months: short clips supplied high-volume discovery, while longer archival recordings generated substantial hearing time from much smaller audiences.
The strongest example is Indradyumna Swami Remembers Srila Prabhupada, which generated more than 64 hours of watch time from only 223 views.
Another significant feature is the longevity of the archive. Krishna Gives Real Protection, originally published in May 2024, became June 2026's most-viewed video with 14,766 views.
- Activity Totals: 28,762 views | 165 posts | 5,615 reactions | 177 comments | 126 new members
- Participation: 150 daily instances of members posting or commenting were recorded.
- Peak View Day: June 21 — 1,548 views
- Second Highest: June 22 — 1,389 views
- Third Highest: June 20 — 1,287 views
- Peak Reaction Day: June 21 — 380 reactions
- Late-Month Activity: June 30 also performed strongly with 1,187 views, 321 reactions and 13 comments.
A noticeable concentration of Group activity occurred around June 19–22:
| Date | Views | Reactions | Comments | New Members |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June 19 | 1,115 | 285 | 10 | 2 |
| June 20 | 1,287 | 210 | 4 | 2 |
| June 21 | 1,548 | 380 | 9 | 4 |
| June 22 | 1,389 | 271 | 14 | 6 |
These four days generated 5,339 Group views and 1,146 reactions.

| Sunday | 206 |
| Monday | 205 |
| Wednesday | 198 |
| Saturday | 197 |
| Friday | 188 |
| Thursday | 178 |
Unlike the stronger Sunday concentration seen later in August, June activity was relatively evenly distributed throughout the week, with Tuesday slightly ahead of Sunday and Monday.

Note: Facebook identifies this sheet as "Top Posts (last 28 days)." It should therefore be understood as the top-post snapshot contained in the June export rather than a guaranteed June 1–30 publication ranking.
The leading post was an exceptional breakout item, recording 17,928 views, 1,304 reactions and 42 comments in the supplied Facebook ranking.
- Gender: approximately 64.7% Men | 35.3% Women

This differs from July and August and should not be characterized as "zero negative feedback"; these figures represent Group moderation decisions rather than audience sentiment.
| Platform | Views | Share of Reported Views |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube | 198,055 | 87.3% |
| Facebook Group | 28,762 | 12.7% |
| Combined | 226,817 | 100% |
Instagram was not yet active, while Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during June. The combined figure therefore represents only the two measured platforms and should not be compared directly with later four-platform totals without this qualification.
- June Establishes the Two-Platform Baseline: Before Instagram was added and Facebook Page monitoring began, YouTube and Facebook Group together generated 226,817 recorded views. This provides a useful baseline for understanding the subsequent expansion of the social ecosystem.
- YouTube Was Overwhelmingly the Main Distribution Channel: 198,055 views represented 87.3% of all measured June viewing. At this stage, broad social distribution was therefore still highly dependent on YouTube.
- The YouTube Archive Was Already Working as an Evergreen Library: Krishna Gives Real Protection and Tested At The Time Of Death were older uploads yet together generated more than 27,000 views during June.
- New Shorts Could Still Break Through Rapidly: A Devotee Is Not Dying - Prabhupada 1128 reached 11,611 views, placing it immediately among the month's three strongest videos.
- Long-Form Content Added Depth Rather Than Raw Reach: Remembrance videos and archival lectures generated tens of hours of sustained hearing from relatively small view counts. Their value is therefore substantially understated if judged only by views.
- Facebook Group Served a Distinct Community Function: Although its 28,762 views were much smaller than YouTube's reach, the Group produced 5,615 reactions, 177 comments and 126 new members.
- Group Engagement Was Not Concentrated on a Single Weekday: Tuesday, Sunday and Monday all showed similarly strong activity. The later emergence of more pronounced publishing windows had not yet become as evident.
- Direct Śrīla Prabhupāda Statements Produced Exceptional Community Response: The leading Group post in the supplied 28-day ranking reached 17,928 views and 1,304 reactions, showing the capacity of direct quotations to generate unusually strong community circulation.
- June Should Be Treated as a Baseline, Not Directly Compared With Later Combined Totals: July introduced Instagram into the reporting ecosystem and also included Facebook Page measurement. Consequently, later increases in combined views represent both genuine audience growth and broader platform coverage.
June 2026 represents the pre-expansion stage of the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem.
At this point, YouTube was the principal public distribution channel, generating nearly 200,000 monthly views and more than 4,600 hours of hearing. Its combination of new clips and older evergreen material was already producing sustained traffic.
The Facebook Group complemented YouTube as the community layer, providing discussion, reactions, member growth and repeated engagement among an established audience.
The significance of June becomes particularly clear when viewed historically. The ecosystem was still essentially operating through two measured channels. Instagram had not yet been launched, and Facebook Page performance was not being tracked.
June therefore provides a useful baseline against which the subsequent development of a broader multi-platform distribution network can be measured.
Combined platform views indicate reported activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.

Reporting Period: May 2026 Ecosystem Monitored: YouTube & Facebook Group
Instagram was not yet active during this reporting period. Facebook Page statistics were not being monitored.
During May 2026, the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem generated 231,824 combined reported platform views across YouTube and the Facebook Group.
- YouTube Remained the Main Distribution Channel: 194,585 views and 4,825.9 watch hours accounted for approximately 84% of all reported views.
- Strong Evergreen YouTube Performance: The month's leading videos were overwhelmingly existing archive content rather than newly uploaded material.
- Dance With Krishna Led YouTube: Dance With Krishna - Not Independently - Prabhupada 1127 generated 11,207 views and 143.6 hours of watch time.
- Facebook Group Was Highly Active: The Group generated 37,239 views, 6,953 reactions and 219 comments from 342 posts.
- Early May Was Particularly Strong: Both YouTube and the Facebook Group recorded their strongest activity during the first half of the month.
- Complementary Platform Roles: YouTube supplied broad reach and sustained hearing, while Facebook Group provided substantially denser interaction and community response.

YouTube Observation: May provides a particularly clear demonstration of the value of an evergreen archive. None of the month's strongest material depended on a May publication date. Existing videos continued to generate almost 195,000 views and more than 4,800 hours of watch time.
The month's leading video, Dance With Krishna - Not Independently, had been published on April 28 and immediately carried strong momentum into May, generating 11,207 views.
At the same time, much older content continued to perform strongly. It Takes One Minute, originally published in July 2023, still generated 4,673 May views, while Tested At The Time Of Death, published in January 2024, was the month's second most-viewed video.
- Activity Totals: 37,239 views | 342 posts | 6,953 reactions | 219 comments
- Average Daily Views: approximately 1,201
- Peak View Day: May 4 — 2,264 views
- Peak Reaction Day: May 4 — 408 reactions
- Highest Comment Day: May 13 — 22 comments
- Highest Posting Day: May 13 — 26 posts
- Traffic Pattern: Group activity was substantially stronger during the first half of May than during the second half.
The opening part of May produced several consecutive high-view days:
| Date | Views | Reactions | Comments | Posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 1 | 1,556 | 277 | 13 | 19 |
| May 2 | 1,917 | 337 | 7 | 18 |
| May 3 | 1,825 | 371 | 19 | 15 |
| May 4 | 2,264 | 408 | 8 | 13 |

| May 6 | 1,730 | 306 | 8 | 15 |
| May 8 | 1,601 | 331 | 10 | 19 |
The first 15 days of May generated 23,538 Group views, compared with 13,701 during the final 16 days.
| Day | Activity Index |
|---|---|
| Monday | 261 |
| Wednesday | 250 |
| Friday | 245 |
| Saturday | 243 |
| Thursday | 242 |
| Tuesday | 228 |
| Sunday | 227 |
Unlike later months, May did not show a dominant weekend or evening-only pattern. Activity was broadly distributed throughout the week, with Monday slightly ahead of Wednesday and Friday.
The strongest individual day/time slots in the supplied Group activity data were:
- Tuesday 11:00 AM — 21
- Sunday 6:00 PM — 20
- Sunday 7:00 PM — 20
- Friday 10:00 PM — 19
- Monday 3:00 PM — 18
- Wednesday 10:00 AM — 18
- Wednesday 12:00 PM — 18
This indicates a relatively broad engagement window rather than one sharply defined posting time.

Note: Facebook labels this dataset "Top Posts (last 28 days)." It is therefore a snapshot included in the May export and should not necessarily be interpreted as a ranking of posts published strictly between May 1 and May 31.
The leading post was a major outlier, reaching 17,928 views and receiving 1,304 reactions and 42 comments.
- Gender: approximately 64.7% Men | 35.3% Women

Approximately 51.7% of Group members were aged 25–44, making this clearly the largest audience segment.

| Combined | 231,824 | 100% |
Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not being monitored. The combined total therefore includes only the two measured platforms.
- YouTube Was Already a Strong Evergreen Distribution System: Almost 195,000 views were generated without any videos being newly published during May according to the supplied dataset. The archive itself was therefore capable of sustaining substantial monthly distribution.
- Recent and Older Content Worked Together: Dance With Krishna, published at the end of April, became the strongest May video, while clips dating back to 2023, 2024 and 2025 continued generating thousands of views.
- Long-Form Content Added Substantial Hearing Depth: The Remembers Srila Prabhupada series generated unusually high watch time from relatively small view counts. Yamuna devi dasi Remembers Srila Prabhupada alone produced 93.6 hours from 770 views.
- Facebook Group Was More Active Than Its View Count Alone Suggests: 37,239 views generated 6,953 reactions and 219 comments, demonstrating a much denser interaction environment than the broad-distribution YouTube channel.
- Early May Was the Strongest Group Period: Nearly two thirds of Group views occurred during the first half of the month. May 4 was simultaneously the strongest viewing and reaction day.
- The Group's Activity Window Was Broad: Monday was the strongest overall day, but several weekdays were close behind. Strong individual periods appeared both during daytime hours and in the evening, indicating that the community had not yet settled into the more concentrated timing patterns seen later.
- Direct Srila Prabhupada Statements Again Dominated Community Performance: The strongest supplied Group post generated 17,928 views and 1,304 reactions. Direct, concise statements continued to demonstrate exceptional circulation potential.
- South Asia Was Already the Main Facebook Group Audience: India dominated membership, followed by Bangladesh and Nepal, while substantial communities were also present in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and other countries.
- May and June Form the Pre-Expansion Baseline: During this phase the social ecosystem was essentially measured through YouTube and Facebook Group alone. Later totals should therefore be understood partly as a consequence of adding Instagram and Facebook Page measurement, not solely as organic month-to-month audience growth.
May 2026 shows that a substantial digital distribution ecosystem was already functioning before the later expansion onto Instagram and systematic Facebook Page monitoring.
YouTube was the dominant reach platform, generating 194,585 views and more than 4,800 hours of hearing largely from existing archival material. This demonstrates the cumulative value of maintaining a large, searchable and continuously circulating library of Srila Prabhupada content.
Facebook Group served as the community layer, generating a comparatively smaller 37,239 views but almost 7,000 reactions, together with ongoing discussion and post activity.
Taken together, the two platforms generated more than 231,000 reported views during May. This establishes a strong pre-expansion baseline from which the later four-platform ecosystem developed.
Combined platform views indicate reported activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.

Reporting Period: April 2026 Ecosystem Monitored: YouTube & Facebook Group
Instagram was not yet active during this reporting period. Facebook Page statistics were not being monitored.
During April 2026, the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem generated 338,193 combined reported platform views across YouTube and the Facebook Group.
- YouTube Experienced a Particularly Strong Month: 306,614 views and 5,833.3 hours of watch time made April considerably stronger than May and June in raw YouTube viewing.
- Evergreen Content Produced Exceptional Reach: Tested At The Time Of Death - Prabhupada 0365 alone generated 40,859 views, 327.8 watch hours and +103 subscribers.
- New April Uploads Also Performed Strongly: Several newly published clips immediately entered the month's top performers, including Universal Form Of Spiritualism, Godlessness Brings Restricted Supplies and Chained Up But Thinking We Are Happy.
- Facebook Group Generated Dense Community Engagement: 31,579 views produced 6,047 reactions and 298 comments from 358 posts.
- Late-April Facebook Group Surge: Group activity strengthened considerably during the second half of the month, peaking on April 28 with 2,052 views and 391 reactions.
- The Two Platforms Served Different Roles: YouTube supplied large-scale reach and sustained hearing, while the Facebook Group provided concentrated discussion and community circulation.

YouTube Observation: April is a strong example of the two engines working simultaneously: evergreen archive content and newly published clips.
The standout video was Tested At The Time Of Death, originally published in January 2024. More than two years later, it generated 40,859 views in a single month — over twice the views of any other video — together with 327.8 watch hours and 103 subscribers.
At the same time, newly published April clips entered the rankings immediately, showing that the channel was not dependent only on historical material.

The difference between the two halves of April was substantial:
| Period | Views |
|---|---|
| April 1–15 | 12,181 |
| April 16–30 | 19,398 |
Approximately 61% of all Group views occurred during the second half of the month.
Several of the strongest days occurred close together toward month-end:
| Date | Views | Reactions | Comments | Posts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 21 | 1,312 | 275 | 19 | 19 |
| April 27 | 1,184 | 234 | 4 | 24 |

| Friday | 205 |
| Saturday | 193 |
Tuesday was the strongest overall day, followed closely by Wednesday and Thursday.
The strongest individual day/time periods in the supplied activity data include:
- Tuesday 8:00 PM — 32
- Monday 10:00 PM — 24
- Tuesday 2:00 PM — 20
- Wednesday 10:00 PM — 20
- Wednesday 8:00 PM — 19
- Friday 10:00 PM — 19
- Saturday 9:00 PM — 18
The data suggests a particularly useful evening window from approximately 8:00–10:00 PM, especially on Tuesday.

Note: Facebook labels this sheet "Top Posts (last 28 days)." It is therefore the ranking snapshot contained in the April export and should not necessarily be interpreted as posts published strictly between April 1 and April 30.
The highest-ranked post was an exceptional outlier, reaching 17,928 views and receiving 1,304 reactions and 42 comments.

Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during April. The combined total therefore includes only the two measured platforms.
- April Was an Exceptionally Strong YouTube Month: 306,614 views significantly exceeded the May and June YouTube totals. The channel averaged more than 10,000 views per day.
- One Evergreen Video Had Major Impact: Tested At The Time Of Death generated 40,859 views by itself — approximately 13.3% of all YouTube viewing for the month — despite having been published more than two years earlier.
- The Archive Was Already Capable of Renewed Breakout Distribution: Older clips such as Taking Bath 3 Times Daily, It Takes One Minute and Tested At The Time Of Death continued to attract thousands or tens of thousands of views.
- Fresh April Content Also Performed Immediately: Several newly published clips surpassed 8,000–15,000 views within the same month, showing that new production and archival rediscovery complemented one another.
- Subscriber Growth Was Strong: YouTube gained 359 subscribers during April. Tested At The Time Of Death alone accounted for +103, while Taking Bath 3 Times Daily added another +46.
- Long-Form Hearing Remained Important: Remembrance and archival videos generated 50–87 hours of monthly watch time from only a few hundred views each, reinforcing that view count alone understates their value.
- Facebook Group Strengthened During the Month: The second half of April generated 19,398 views compared with 12,181 in the first half — an increase of approximately 59%.
- Tuesday Evening Was the Strongest Group Opportunity: Tuesday was the strongest overall weekday, and Tuesday at 8:00 PM was the single highest activity slot in the supplied timing data.
- Facebook Group Engagement Was Dense Relative to Reach: 31,579 views produced more than 6,000 reactions and nearly 300 comments, confirming the Group's role as an interaction-oriented community rather than simply another broadcast channel.
- April Shows the Strength of the Pre-Expansion Ecosystem: Even before Instagram existed and before Facebook Page statistics were tracked, the two monitored platforms generated more than 338,000 reported views.
April 2026 was a particularly strong month for the pre-expansion Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem.
YouTube was overwhelmingly the principal distribution channel, accounting for more than 90% of the reported viewing activity and generating over 306,000 views. Particularly significant was the simultaneous performance of both new material and older archival clips.
The extraordinary resurgence of Tested At The Time Of Death demonstrates the cumulative advantage of maintaining a large archive: individual pieces of content can return to substantial algorithmic circulation long after their original publication.
Facebook Group continued to function as the community layer, with lower raw reach but very dense participation through reactions, comments and frequent posting. Its pronounced late-April increase also shows that Group activity was gaining momentum during the month.
Taken together, YouTube and Facebook Group generated 338,193 reported views during April — a strong two-platform baseline before the later expansion into Instagram and systematic Facebook Page measurement.
Combined platform views indicate reported activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.

Reporting Period: March 2026 Ecosystem Monitored: YouTube & Facebook Group
Instagram was not yet active during this reporting period. Facebook Page statistics were not being monitored.
During March 2026, the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem generated 368,771 combined reported platform views across YouTube and the Facebook Group.
- YouTube Had a Very Strong Month: 348,680 views and 6,452.4 hours of watch time made March one of the strongest YouTube months in this reporting sequence.
- Evergreen Content Again Led Distribution: Tested At The Time Of Death - Prabhupada 0365 generated 38,009 views and added 109 subscribers during March.
- Fresh March Uploads Performed Immediately: Eight videos published during March generated 71,552 views within the month, including five clips exceeding 9,000 views.
- Facebook Group Activity Accelerated Sharply Late in the Month: 14,448 of the Group's 20,091 views occurred during March 16–31.
- March 20–22 Was the Group's Strongest Period: March 20 recorded the highest reactions and posting volume, while March 22 reached the month's highest Group view count and comment total.
- Different Content Depths Continued to Complement Each Other: Short-form YouTube clips supplied broad reach while long-form remembrance and archival recordings continued generating substantial hours of hearing.

YouTube Observation: March combined two very strong engines of distribution.
The first was the existing archive. Tested At The Time Of Death, originally published in January 2024, generated 38,009 views and alone accounted for more than 10% of all YouTube views during the month. It also produced 109 new subscribers.
The second was fresh publishing. All eight March uploads generated substantial same-month traffic, together accounting for more than 71,000 views. This demonstrates that new production was not merely supplementing the archive but was itself becoming a major source of distribution.

Long-Form Observation: Long-form material again contributed far more hearing depth than raw view counts suggest. Indradyumna Swami Remembers Srila Prabhupada, for example, generated over 73 hours of watch time from only 291 views.
- Activity Totals: 20,091 views | 416 posts | 4,341 reactions | 232 comments
- Average Daily Views: approximately 648

- Peak Reaction Day: March 20 — 369 reactions
- Highest Comment Day: March 22 — 27 comments
- Highest Posting Day: March 20 — 55 posts
- Traffic Pattern: Group activity was modest during the first half of March and then accelerated very strongly in the second half.
| Period | Views |
|---|---|
| March 1–15 | 5,643 |
| March 16–31 | 14,448 |
Approximately 72% of all March Group views occurred during the second half of the month.
The strongest concentration developed around March 20–22, combining high viewing, reactions, comments and posting activity.
| Day | Activity Index |
|---|---|
| Sunday | 186 |
| Saturday | 179 |
| Monday | 175 |
| Friday | 155 |
| Tuesday | 150 |
| Wednesday | 145 |
| Thursday | 139 |
Weekend activity was notably strong, with Sunday and Saturday occupying the top two positions.
The strongest individual day/time combinations were:
- Friday 3:00 PM — 23
- Friday 1:00 PM — 20
- Sunday 12:00 PM — 17
- Monday 8:00 PM — 17
- Wednesday 2:00 PM — 16
- Tuesday 10:00 PM — 14
March therefore did not show one single dominant evening window. Strong engagement appeared both during afternoon and evening periods.

Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during March. The combined total therefore includes only the two measured platforms.
- March Was One of the Strongest YouTube Months in This Period: 348,680 views exceeded April's already strong performance and were substantially higher than May, June and July.
- Evergreen Material Continued to Produce Major Breakouts: Tested At The Time Of Death generated 38,009 views and 109 subscribers despite having been published more than two years earlier.
- Fresh Publishing Was Also Very Effective: Eight March uploads generated 71,552 same-month views. Five of them exceeded 9,000 views, demonstrating that new production and archival circulation were working simultaneously.
- Subscriber Growth Was Strong: The channel gained 381 subscribers during March. The leading evergreen video alone accounted for 109 of them.
- Long-Form Material Continued to Supply Hearing Depth: Remembrance videos repeatedly generated 50–90 hours of watch time from only a few hundred views.
- Facebook Group Entered a Strong Growth Phase During the Second Half of March: 72% of monthly Group views occurred after March 15, suggesting a significant change in activity rather than a uniform month.
- March 20–22 Was a Clear Community Peak: March 20 produced the most reactions and posts, while March 22 produced the most views and comments.
- Weekend Group Activity Was Strong: Sunday and Saturday were the two highest overall activity days, although Friday afternoon was the strongest individual time slot.
- The Facebook Group Was Small in Reach but Dense in Interaction: Its 20,091 views generated 4,341 reactions and 232 comments, reinforcing its role as a community environment rather than primarily a mass-distribution channel.
- The Pre-Expansion Ecosystem Was Already Reaching Large Numbers: Even before Instagram and systematic Facebook Page measurement, YouTube and Facebook Group together generated nearly 369,000 reported views during March.
March 2026 was an exceptionally strong month for the two-platform Vanipedia / Vanimedia ecosystem.
YouTube was overwhelmingly the main distribution engine, generating almost 349,000 views, more than 6,450 hours of watch time and 381 new subscribers. Particularly significant was the combination of very strong evergreen circulation and successful newly published material.
Facebook Group remained much smaller in raw viewing volume, but the second half of March shows a clear acceleration in community activity. Viewing, reactions, comments and publishing all increased sharply, creating the foundation for the stronger Group performance seen in the following months.
March therefore illustrates an important point in the historical development of the social ecosystem: substantial public reach was already being achieved before the later expansion to Instagram and systematic Facebook Page reporting.
Combined platform views indicate reported platform activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.

Instagram was not yet active during this reporting period. Facebook Page statistics were not being monitored.
During February 2026, the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem generated 334,348 combined reported platform views across YouTube and the Facebook Group.
- YouTube Was Overwhelmingly the Main Distribution Channel: 325,458 views and 6,314.6 hours of watch time accounted for more than 97% of all reported viewing.

YouTube Observation: February shows the same two complementary engines that became increasingly visible in later months: an established archive generating large-scale evergreen reach and newly published clips beginning to attract viewers almost immediately.
The strongest example of evergreen performance was Tested At The Time Of Death, originally published in January 2024. More than two years later it generated 40,951 February views and 330 hours of watch time.
It Takes One Minute, published in July 2023, was equally notable from an audience-growth perspective: its 25,659 views generated 85 subscribers, the strongest subscriber contribution of any individual video during February.
New publishing also showed clear potential. Nobody Is Serving The Soul accumulated 12,759 views despite being published only on February 20, while There Is No Tax To Chant Hare Krishna reached 12,219 after publication on February 22.

| Radhanatha Swami Remembers Srila Prabhupada 03 | 219 | 53.30 hrs |
Long-Form Observation: Long-form material again produced disproportionately high hearing time. Indradyumna Swami Remembers Srila Prabhupada generated more than 97 hours from only 288 views, while Yamuna devi dasi Remembers Srila Prabhupada generated another 93 hours.
This reinforces the distinction between reach-oriented short content and depth-oriented long-form hearing.
- Activity Totals: 8,890 views | 240 posts | 2,927 reactions | 139 comments
- Average Daily Views: approximately 318
- Peak View Day: February 3 — 473 views
- Peak Reaction Day: February 19 — 174 reactions
- Highest Comment Day: February 5 — 14 comments
- Highest Posting Day: February 19 — 20 posts
- Traffic Pattern: Group viewing remained relatively stable throughout February without the large breakout days that emerged in March and later months.
| Period | Views |
|---|---|
| February 1–14 | 4,715 |
| February 15–28 | 4,175 |
The two halves of the month were therefore relatively balanced, with approximately 53% of Group views occurring during the first half.
This contrasts sharply with March, when activity became heavily concentrated in the second half of the month.
| Day | Activity Index |
|---|---|
| Thursday | 135 |
| Sunday | 135 |
| Tuesday | 132 |
| Wednesday | 129 |
| Saturday | 113 |
| Friday | 104 |
| Monday | 80 |
Thursday and Sunday were tied as the strongest overall days, although Tuesday and Wednesday were close behind.
The strongest activity periods were concentrated increasingly toward the evening on several days.
Notable individual time slots included:
- Thursday 10:00 PM — 13
- Tuesday 9:00 PM — 12
- Tuesday 10:00 PM — 12
- Thursday 9:00 PM — 12
- Thursday 7:00 PM — 11
- Sunday 7:00 PM — 10
- Sunday 8:00 PM — 10
- Sunday 10:00 PM — 10
This suggests that an evening publishing window was already emerging during February, particularly on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.

Important: Facebook labels this sheet "Top Posts (last 28 days)." The values in this snapshot are substantially larger than February's daily Group-view total, so these figures should not be interpreted as February-only views. They are retained here only as the top-post ranking snapshot included in the supplied Facebook export.
The supplied Group audience dataset contains approximately 30,195 members represented in the age/gender breakdown.
- Gender: approximately 64.7% Men | 35.3% Women
- 13–17: 1.2%
- 18–24: 9.5%
- 25–34: 25.4%
- 35–44: 26.3%
- 45–54: 18.8%
- 55–64: 10.3%
- 65+: 8.6%
The 25–44 audience represents approximately 51.6% of the Group's recorded membership.

Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during February. The combined total therefore includes only the two measured platforms.
- YouTube Was Already Operating at Significant Scale: With 325,458 views, YouTube generated more than 97% of all measured February viewing and averaged more than 11,600 views per day.
- February Shows Exceptional Evergreen Strength: The month's four most-viewed videos were all older uploads. Together, Tested At The Time Of Death, It Takes One Minute, Taking Bath 3 Times Daily and Vegetarian Or Nonvegetarian generated almost 100,000 February views.
- Evergreen Content Was Also Driving Subscriber Growth: It Takes One Minute generated +85 subscribers, Tested At The Time Of Death +81 and Taking Bath 3 Times Daily +53.
- New February Clips Showed Immediate Potential: Nobody Is Serving The Soul and There Is No Tax To Chant Hare Krishna both surpassed 12,000 views despite being published only during the final third of the month.
- Subscriber Growth Was Particularly Strong: The channel added 463 subscribers in February, exceeding the gains recorded in several subsequent months.
- Long-Form Content Continued to Supply Deep Hearing: The strongest remembrance videos generated 50–97 watch hours each despite receiving only a few hundred views.
- Facebook Group Was Still at an Earlier Stage: Group viewing was only 8,890 during February. This makes the subsequent rise to 20,091 in March, 31,579 in April and 37,239 in May particularly significant.
- February Group Activity Was Stable Rather Than Spiky: The first and second halves of the month were relatively similar, unlike the pronounced second-half surge that appeared in March.
- Evening Engagement Was Beginning to Emerge: Several of the strongest Group activity slots occurred around 7:00–10:00 PM, particularly on Tuesday and Thursday.
- February Provides a Useful Pre-Growth Baseline for the Group: YouTube was already mature as a distribution channel, while Facebook Group had not yet entered the more rapid activity phase visible from March onward.
February 2026 shows a social ecosystem in which YouTube was already functioning as a mature and substantial distribution engine, while Facebook Group was still operating at a comparatively modest level.
YouTube generated more than 325,000 views, 6,300 hours of hearing and 463 new subscribers. Importantly, this performance did not depend solely on fresh production. Videos dating from 2023 and 2024 continued to generate tens of thousands of views, demonstrating that the Vanimedia archive was already functioning as a cumulative distribution resource.
Fresh publishing nevertheless remained important. Two videos released during the final week of February immediately exceeded 12,000 views, foreshadowing the strong performance of new short-form material seen during March and April.
The Facebook Group represented the community component of the ecosystem, generating 8,890 views, almost 3,000 reactions and 139 comments. Its relatively modest February reach is historically useful because it provides a clear baseline before the pronounced expansion beginning in March.
Taken together, the two monitored platforms generated 334,348 reported views during February.
Combined platform views indicate reported activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.

The three January uploads generated 46,492 views, 396.7 watch hours and 48 subscribers during the month.
YouTube Observation: January demonstrates especially clearly the value of combining evergreen archival circulation with fresh publishing.
The two leading videos were older uploads. Tested At The Time Of Death, originally published in January 2024, generated 55,842 views and 133 subscribers during January 2026. It Takes One Minute, originally published in July 2023, added another 43,107 views and 127 subscribers.
Together, these two older videos alone generated almost 99,000 views and 260 new subscribers.
At the same time, the three newly published January clips all entered the month's leading content immediately, with Our Beautiful Body Will Become Stool Or Ashes surpassing 21,000 views.

| January 19 | 4,127 | 441 | 18 | 9 |
| January 20 | 1,925 | 301 | 19 | 20 |
These five days alone generated 31,054 Group views — approximately 69% of the entire month's Group viewing.
The concentration is even more striking when comparing the halves of the month:
| Period | Views |
|---|---|
| January 1–15 | 9,908 |
| January 16–31 | 34,943 |
Approximately 78% of all January Group views occurred in the second half of the month.

| Sunday | 256 |
| Monday | 235 |
| Tuesday | 220 |

Saturday was the strongest overall activity day, with Sunday second. January therefore showed a pronounced weekend concentration.
The strongest individual day/time combinations were:
- Sunday 7:00 PM — 24
- Saturday 7:00 PM — 21
- Saturday 8:00 PM — 21
- Sunday 4:00 PM — 20
- Tuesday 9:00 PM — 20

- Saturday 6:00 AM — 19
- Saturday 8:00 AM — 19
- Tuesday 7:00 PM — 19
- Sunday 8:00 PM — 19
The strongest recurring pattern was therefore weekend evening activity, particularly around 7:00–8:00 PM.

Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during January. The combined total therefore includes only the two measured platforms.
- January Was the Strongest YouTube Month in the January–August 2026 Period Processed So Far: 412,721 views exceeded February, March, April, May, June, July and August.
- The Evergreen Archive Was Extremely Powerful: Tested At The Time Of Death and It Takes One Minute together generated 98,949 views — almost one quarter of all January YouTube views.
- Evergreen Videos Were Major Subscriber Drivers: Those same two older videos generated 260 of the month's 677 subscribers.
- Fresh January Publishing Also Performed Immediately: The three January uploads generated 46,492 views despite being published during the opening days of the month.
- Subscriber Growth Was Exceptional: +677 subscribers was a particularly strong monthly result and substantially exceeded the gains recorded in the following several months.
- Long-Form Hearing Added Significant Depth: Remembrance and archival videos again generated 50–110 hours of watch time each despite comparatively modest viewing figures.
- Facebook Group Had an Extraordinary Mid-Month Breakout: January 16 and 17 both surpassed 9,000 views, and January 16–20 generated more than 31,000 views in only five days.
- Group Engagement Rose Together With Views: The January 17 peak produced 811 reactions and 45 comments alongside 9,166 views, suggesting the surge represented genuine community interaction rather than viewing alone.
- Weekend Activity Was Particularly Strong: Saturday and Sunday were the two strongest Group days, with Sunday 7:00 PM the strongest individual time slot.
- January Demonstrates That the Pre-Expansion Ecosystem Was Already Operating at Considerable Scale: Before Instagram existed and before Facebook Page monitoring was introduced, YouTube and Facebook Group together generated more than 457,000 reported views in one month.
January 2026 was an exceptionally strong opening month for the monitored Vanipedia / Vanimedia social ecosystem.
YouTube was already functioning as a substantial international distribution archive, producing 412,721 views, more than 7,200 hours of hearing and 677 new subscribers. Particularly significant was the continuing performance of material published years earlier. This demonstrates that the value of the Vanimedia archive is cumulative: content does not simply disappear after its initial publishing period but can repeatedly return to circulation.
At the same time, freshly published material was capable of gaining immediate traction. The three January uploads together generated more than 46,000 views.
Facebook Group showed a very different but complementary pattern. Its monthly total of 44,851 views was driven largely by an extraordinary mid-January surge. During January 16–20 alone, the Group generated more than 31,000 views, together with strong reaction and comment activity.
Taken together, the two monitored platforms generated 457,572 reported views during January. This demonstrates that substantial reach and community interaction were already present before the later expansion to Instagram and systematic Facebook Page measurement.
Combined platform views indicate reported platform activity rather than unique individuals. Instagram was not yet active and Facebook Page statistics were not monitored during this reporting period.
