Annam Bahu Kurvita Annam Na Nindyaath Tat Vratam - Taittiriya Upanishad
Let us create and share food. Let all hungry stomach be fulfilled with food. Let us not waste food. No place you can drop food, where there is no hunger (either outside or inside). That is being authentic with food.
"Anna is usually translated as food. The word Anna I am not translating as food or grain. I am translating as a nourisher. Because many of the senses they don’t need food to thrive. Your mind - you don’t need grains, your thoughts are enough, ears sound, nose smell, tongue taste is enough. Only for the body where all these senses stay, you need food. Grains are required only for the house – the body. For the tenant's eyes, ears, nose they are all the tenants. They can thrive even without food. They can thrive with the Vishayin – food of the senses. That is why I am translating the word annam not just as grains but nourishments." HDH Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam
Food is the easiest way to spread positive energy.
Anyone who visits our Kailasa's, temples or centers around the world, does not leave without having prasad (energized food). Well-balanced pure sattvic vegetarian food that meets any normal child/adults normal nutritional needs is served freely to everyone who visits.
As per the glorious tradition of Vedic culture, free food has been served throughout the day to all visitors in the form of Prasad (energized and food that is blessed by offering to the Divine) at the Anna Mandirs around the world. Meals have also been served in schools, colleges, and to the poor and needy in rural areas. Mobile Anna Mandir's have served meals in Mass meditation camps. On average, we have served 10,000 free meals a day in our Anna Mandirs across the world.
Next to Love and peace the third and the most important quality pre-eminently necessary for a human being is the act of charity – particularly Anna daan. While there is always a desire for more when monetary or other forms of charity are made, feeding a hungry being gives complete satisfaction to the receiver, and of course, the giver also.
During the Covid Pandemic Kailasa's across the globe have taken the responsibility to continue distributing food to people in need through various food banks, cafes etc. This initiative was launched with the blessings of The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Jagatguru Mahasannidhanam Bhagavan Sri Nithyananda Paramashivam on the day of Diwali celebrations 2020. Since the initiative was launched globally 23,000+ meals have been served.
Below is the overview of all the Annadhan offerings from KAILASA's around the world for the auspicious occassion of 44th Nithyananda Jayanthi Celebrations
