On May 20th, 2023, Hungary’s largest and only active ox-powered treadmill was inaugurated at ISKCON Krishna Valley. The treadmill is a power-generating machine that uses animal power rather than fossil fuels. Power generated from the treadmill will be used to press oil, produce wood chips, mill grains and fodder, and generate electricity for the community.
The inauguration of the treadmill house helped kick off the upcoming year of festivities marking the 30th anniversary of Krishna Valley. The ceremony was attended by Mr. Ramji, representing the Indian Ambassador; Istvan Nagy, Ph.D., the Honorable Minister for Agriculture; Jozsef Attila Moring, a member of Parliament for the region; Norbert Biró, the Chairman of the Assembly of Somogy County; H.H. Sivarama Swami, the spiritual leader of ISKCON Hungary, and Radha Krishna Das, GBC secretary for Hungary.
Minister Istvan Nagy, speaking to the gathered crowd at the inauguration, noted, “Tradition, renewal, sustainability, and self-reliance are issues of strategic importance for Hungary’s future.”
