Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has a massive business empire. He is the chairman of Adani Group which has a presence in several sectors. The group is also known for its charity work. Now, ahead of the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, the group has joined hands with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) to serve meals (Mahaprasad Seva) to devotees during the entire duration of mela for 45 days (from January 13 to February 26).

The Mahaprasad will be distributed at 40 places in the Maha Kumbh area and 2,500 volunteers will be involved in this initiative. Golf carts have been arranged for the differently abled, elderly, and mothers with children. Five lakh copies of Geeta Saar will also be distributed among the devotees.

To thank ISKCON for this initiative, the billionaire met Guru Prasad Swami, the Chairman of ISKCON Governing Body Commission (GBC). Speaking about ISKCON's support in offering the Mahaprasad Seva, Adani said, "Kumbh is a sacred place of seva, where every devotee gets involved in the name of seva to God. It is my good fortune that we are starting the 'Mahaprasad Seva' for the devotees at the Maha Kumbh in collaboration with ISKCON.

"With the blessings of Maa Annapurna, free food will be provided to lakhs of devotees. Today, I got the opportunity to meet Guru Prasad Swami ji of ISKCON and I deeply experienced the power of dedication towards seva. In the true sense, seva is the highest form of patriotism. Seva is meditation, seva is prayer and seva is God," he said.
