Authorities and organizers aim to minimize the environmental impact of the massive gathering while ensuring that every pilgrim experiences the care and devotion inherent in the service.
ISKCON officials highlighted the spiritual significance of food as a medium of service, stating, “Mahaprasad is more than a meal; it is a sacred offering that embodies love and devotion. We are honored to serve in this capacity during the Maha Kumbh.”
Supporting Pilgrim Welfare
The initiative is expected to serve as a model of collaboration between corporate entities and spiritual organizations. With millions of meals planned, the Mahaprasad Seva underscores the importance of partnerships in managing events of this magnitude and scale.
