ALL-INDIA PADAYATRIS ATTEND PRAYAGRAJ KUMBHA-MELA
\nApril 3, 2019
\nBy Pralhad Vatsal dasa, Bhadra Balaram dasa and Prasanna Shyam dasa<\/p>\n

A Prayagraj (Prayag) Ardh Kumbha-mela was held at the Triveni-sangam in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, for about eight weeks from January 15 to March 4. All-India Padayatra leader Acarya dasa had intended for all the padayatris to be available for preaching at the mela, but it transpired that only seven fortunate souls plus AIP oxen Krishna and Vitthala \u2013 as well as the cart and Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar from Pandharpur \u2013 attended the event.<\/p>\n

A devotee asked Acarya dasa, \u201cPrabhu, where are our two oxen?\u201d Acarya dasa replied that they had gone to the Kumbha-mela. The devotee was surprised and said, \u201cThey are so fortunate they are attending the mela. Many humans do not get such an opportunity.\u201d The oxen are, indeed, fortunate for Sri Sri Nitai-Gaurasundar\u2019s mercy is always on them as they carry Their Lordships on their shoulders. Krishna is strong and never gets agitated or frightened in a crowd, and Vitthala is humble and silent, and when you pat him or caress him, he will put his head to your feet as if he is offering obeisances.
