Annadana Seva
The Ultimate Act of Dharma
“Annadānāt paraṁ dānaṁ na bhūtaṁ na bhaviṣyati”
There has never been, nor will there ever be, any gift greater than the gift of food
Annadana—The Highest Form of Charity in Sanatana Dharma:
Feeding the hungry is revered as the most noble act, nourishing both body and soul. Each meal shared uplifts the giver and the receiver, spreading compassion and positivity.
What We Do:
- Every Dwadashi, we serve wholesome Annadana to sadhus, yatris, and annarthis at sacred Arunachala.
- Over 1,000 people served so far—this is just the beginning!
- Expanding Reach: Our initiative now brings food to hunger spots across Bangalore—because no one should sleep hungry.
