The Adani Group and the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) have joined hands to serve meals to devotees at the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj.
The Mahaprasad Seva will be offered for the entire duration of the Mahakumbh Mela, from January 13 to February 26. To thank ISKCON for this initiative, Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani met Guru Prasad Swami, the Chairman of ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC), on Thursday, January 9, 2025.
Adani Group Chairman, Gautam Adani mentioned that, “I come from a humble family background…We will continue to lean on you to help society. You have a wonderful organisation and delivery system that ultimately reaches millions of people.”
Guru Prasad Swamiji, one of the outstanding preachers of the International Krishna Consciousness Society, said, “The Adani Group has always been a shining example of corporate responsibility and social service. What makes Gautam Adaniji outstanding is his humility – he never waits to be called but moves forward to serve selflessly. We are extremely grateful for his contribution. His work inspires us to give back to the society and unite in the service of humanity.”
The Mahaprasad Seva will be offered to 50 lakh devotees and the meals would be prepared in two kitchens in and outside the Mela area. The Mahaprasad will be distributed at 40 places in the Mahakumbh area and 2,500 volunteers will be involved in this initiative.
