HUMBLE APPEAL: Annadan Seva on Makarsankranti day

Dear prabhuji/mataji,
PAMHO, AGTSP

We are very happy to inform you that the holy place of Ganga Sagar is ready
to host the upcoming Makar Sankranti & Ganga Sagar Mela (13-15 of January
2007) in Sagardwip at Lord Kapil Muni's(incarnation of Lord Vishunu) ashram
at the confluence of the Bay of Bengal and mother Ganges.

In every Vedic festival the Lord's blessings are distributed as prasadam. A
visti to a holy place is not complete without receiving prasadam.

ISKCON Mayapur is planning to launch massive prasadam distribution during
this mela. Huge pandal and elaborate arrangements are already made to
distribute 40,000 plates of prasadam on each of the three days. A plate of
sumptous prasadam will consist of rice, dal and sabji or kichuri with pure
ghee.

For 3 day's successful food distribution, making pandal & transportation,
etc., we have to raise 12laks rupees($28,600). But, only 50% is collected.

So, ISKCON MAYAPUR NEEDS YOUR VALUABLE FINANCIAL SUPPORT. Whatever amount,
it will help us.

The Matsaya Purana states: " One the day of Makara Sankranti, one should
feed the devotees and the poor sumptously. Those who make offerings on this
day are rewarded for many lives.".

In the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira Maharaja enquired:
"What gift will provide reward both in this life and in the next?"
Bhishmadeva Answered:
There never has been, nor will there ever be, any gift equal to the gift of
food grains ..." -(Anusasana Parva, 13.63.3-6)
