On 31st January 2010 here happened a historical procession in Vrindavana from Krishnabalaram Mandir to the Kumbha Mela cite ISKCON camp on the bank of Yamuna. Srila Prabhupada’s deity was carried on the back of an elephant. Numbers of senior devotees including HH Lokanath Swami, HG Panca Gouda Prabhu, the temple president of Krishna Balaram Temple Vrindavan, HG Dina Bandu prabhu, HG Janardhana Prabhu etc were present. HH Lokanath Swami was the one of the principal kirtana leaders in the very procession.
The huge procession visited Banke Vihari, Six Goswami temples, and then entered Kumbha Mela cite. On it’s way the proseccion was greeted very warmly and traditionally by local Vrajavasis with flowers, flower garlands, and soft drinks.
After reaching Kumbha Mela pandal HH Lokanath Swami performed the ‘bhumi puja’ while HG Ahindra prabhu charmed every one present there by his melodios and extremely sweet kirtana. Then there was a huge prasadam distribution programme where thousands of pilgrims honored Krishna Prasadam.
