New Delhi, Jan 12 (NationPress) Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani conveyed that he perceives his rise to prominence as a result of the Almighty's guidance, who inspires him in his endeavors, noting that material wealth and personal desires are quite insignificant.
"Coming from a humble family background, I often reflect that my presence in this position is not solely due to my own skills. The Almighty is here to ensure that I am fulfilling my purpose. Therefore, financial gains and individual needs are truly minimal," he stated.
This remark was made during his conversation with Guru Prasad Swami Maharaj, the Chairman of the Governing Body Commission of ISKCON in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) and the Adani Group have partnered to provide meals to devotees at the upcoming Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, starting on Monday. The Mahaprasad Seva will be available throughout the event, from January 13 to February 26.
Chairman Gautam Adani affirmed that his group is committed to supporting society. "We will continue to rely on your assistance in serving the community, which will be a great privilege and honor for us. Your organization has an exceptional system to reach millions of people," he shared with Swami Maharaj.
Swami Maharaj and Adani mutually expressed their respect for ISKCON. He highlighted the significance of serving the Supreme with one's life, energy, wealth, and words, as outlined in the shastras.
Gautam Adani expressed a profound connection with ISKCON, applauding the organization for its ability to provide Prasadam during the Maha Kumbh 2025.
He later shared on X (in Hindi), "Kumbh is the sacred land of service where everyone’s hand naturally engages in charity! I feel fortunate that during the Maha Kumbh, in partnership with @IskconInc, we are initiating 'Mahaprasad Seva' for devotees, supplying free meals to lakhs with the blessings of Maa Annapurna..."
Gautam Adani noted that meeting ISKCON Guru Prasad Swamiji allowed him to truly experience the essence of dedication to service.
"In the truest sense, service is the highest form of patriotism. It is a form of sadhana, a prayer, and ultimately, God," he remarked.
The Adani Group has also partnered with Geeta Press, planning to distribute one crore copies of 'Aarti Sangrah' at no cost. In a social media post (in Hindi) on platform X, Gautam Adani expressed, "Maha Kumbh represents the great yagna of Indian culture and faith! We are immensely pleased to contribute one crore copies of 'Aarti Sangrah' free to the devotees attending Kumbh, in collaboration with the esteemed Geeta Press."
He shared that he was motivated after meeting the dedicated officials of Gita Press, who have served the nation for a century through Sanatan literature, and he felt honored to express his gratitude for their remarkable service. "Selfless service and a commitment to religion and culture represent a form of patriotism that we all uphold. Service is sadhana, service is prayer, and service is God," he reiterated.
