The ISKCON Hungary Yatra completed its 30th annual padayatra recently, a 14-day event from July 8th to 21st. Devotees walked 120 kilometers, beginning their journey in the northern city of Eger.
The padayatra’s organizer, Triyuga Das, reflected on the significance of this milestone and the importance of ensuring that the legacy of the padayatra continues for generations to come: “As an organizer and leader of the padayatra pilgrimage, I find it very important that when we grow old and are no longer able to walk or manage the challenges of organizing, the younger generation will continue this wonderful mission. We want every young person to learn the art of helping others and giving selflessly, beginning as children. I am so lucky that my nephew, Nimaj, has been part of our pilgrimage team since he was little.”
Book distribution was another important highlight of the padayatra. Devotees distributed approximately 600 Back to Godhead magazines, 80 copies of the Bhagavad-gita As It Is, and 200 other spiritual books. The harinam sankirtan, which continued for four to five hours each day, brought an ecstatic atmosphere to the pilgrimage, with devotees joyfully chanting the Holy Names and engaging the hearts of all who participated.
