The Adani Group and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) have joined hands to serve food to devotees during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj this year.

Mahaprasad Seva will be offered throughout the Maha Kumbh Mela, from January 13 to February 26.

To thank ISKCON for this initiative, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani met Guru Prasad Swami, Chairman of ISKCON’s Governing Body Commission (GBC) on Thursday.

Talking about ISKCON’s support in offering Mahaprasad Seva, Adani said, “The Kumbh is a sacred place of seva where every devotee engages in the name of seva before God. I am fortunate that we are starting ‘Mahaprasad Seva’ for devotees at Maha Kumbh in collaboration with ISKCON.

“With the blessings of Maa Annapurna, free food will be provided to hundreds of devotees. Today I had the opportunity to meet Guru Prasad Swami ji of ISKCON and deeply experienced the power of devotion to seva. In the true sense of the word, seva is the highest form of patriotism, seva is meditation, seva is prayer and seva is God.” Guru Prasad Swami, one of the distinguished preachers of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, said, “The Adani Group has always been a shining example of corporate responsibility and social service. What makes Gautam Adani ji unique is his humility – he never waits to be called but goes ahead to serve selflessly. We are extremely grateful for his contributions, and his work inspires us to give back to society and unite in serving humanity.” Mahaprasad Seva will be offered to 50 lakh devotees and meals will be prepared in two kitchens inside and outside the mela area.

Mahaprasad will be distributed at 40 places in the Maha Kumbh area and 2,500 volunteers will be involved in this initiative.

Golf carts are available for disabled people, the elderly and mothers with children. Five million copies of Geeta Saar will also be distributed among the devotees.
