Pitṛu Pakṣa Sevā
Offering Oblations to Forefathers
Pitru Paksha is a sacred period dedicated to remembering and honouring our departed ancestors through prayers, shradh, and acts of charity.
The scriptures encourage offerings such as Annadana Seva, Go-seva, and Vaisnava Bhojana Seva during this time. By contributing to these devotional services, we can express our gratitude to our forefathers and seek the mercy of Lord Krishna for their spiritual well-being.
This Pitru Paksha, you can contribute towards the meals and seva of the devotees serving at ISKCON Bhubaneswar.
May your offering become an expression of remembrance and devotion, bringing peace, auspiciousness, and spiritual blessings to your family.
Sponsor a Seva and offer your devotion to your forefathers at the lotus feet of Lord Krishna.

Food Distribution (Anna Daan)
ISKCON Bhubaneswar has a novel way of bringing the blessings of Lord Krishna in the form of food, Krishna Prasad.
Anna Daan is Maha Daan. Lord Krishna is extremely pleased to bless a devotee who renders even a little service to Him and His devotees.
In Mahabharata, Yudhishthira Maharaj enquired: 'What gift will reward in this world and in the next?'
Bhismadev answered: 'There has never been, nor will there ever be, any gift equal to the gift of food.'-Anusasana Parva 13.63.3-6
Please take the opportunity to get the blessings of Lord Krishna by joining our Annadaan Seva.

While Kṛṣṇa was going to the fruit vendor very hastily, most of the grains He was holding fell. Nonetheless, the fruit vendor filled Kṛṣṇa’s hands with fruits, and her fruit basket was immediately filled with jewels and gold. - Srimad Bhagavatam 10.11.11
It is the duty of every living being to perform welfare activities for the benefit of others with his life, wealth, intelligence and words. -Srimad Bhagavatam 10.22.35
