Dear Devotees,

As every year this year too we are organising ISKCON camp at the ancient pilgrimage site of Prayag during the annual Magh mela holy fair. This fair has been held by Vedic followers since the beginning of creation. Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 18.145-146 mentions Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's attending this fair being invited by a Sanodiya brahmana.

Bathing at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna near the fort at Allahabad, Prayaga, is mentioned in revealed scriptures: 

maghe masi gaminyanti
ganga-yamuna-sangamam
gavam sata-sahasrasya
samyag dattam ca yat-phalam
prayage magha-mase vai
tryaham snatasya tat-phalam

 "If one goes to Prayaga and bathes at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna in the month of Magha, he attains the result of giving hundreds and thousands of cows in charity. Simply by bathing for three days there, he attains the results of such a pious activity."

There will be daily Harinama sankirtana, Bhagavata Katha and book distribution. Therefore we are inviting all the devotees to attend this holy fair and increase their ever-increasing transcendental bliss.

For further information regarding your participation and contribution you can email us at iskcon.allahabad@pamho.net or phone (0532)2416718

Thank you. Hare Krishna!
