With the blessings of THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM (SPH), BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM — the ultimate manifestation, Paramavatara of Paramashiva — KAILASA TIRUVANNAMALAI SRI NITHYANANDA JANMABHUMI celebrated the auspicious Powrnami (Purnima) Day on 29/7/2024 by conducting a massive Aushada Annadhan (medicinal food service). This sacred humanitarian service, deeply rooted in Hindu tradition and THE SPH's vision of global nourishment, provided specially prepared, healing vegetarian meals to approximately 15,000 devotees performing *Girivalam* around Mount Arunachala. The event successfully combined profound spiritual practices with selfless service, manifesting KAILASA's mission of reviving the ancient enlightened Sanatana Hindu civilization and elevating the collective state, space, and being of all participants through divine nourishment and the grace of THE SPH.
Aushada Annadhan
The Aushada Annadhan (medicinal food service) was performed as a profound sacred ritual (*ritual*) under the divine grace and blessings of THE SPH BHAGAVAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM. This vital service took place at the sacred grounds of KAILASA TIRUVANNAMALAI SRI NITHYANANDA JANMABHUMI, coinciding with the auspicious Powrnami (Purnima) day. Purnima is a significant time when thousands of devotees undertake the holy *Girivalam* (circumambulation) of Mount Arunachala, the sacred physical form of Lord Arunachaleshwara. Providing nourishment during this intense spiritual pilgrimage ensures the devotees can sustain their focus and manifest higher states of consciousness.
This grand humanitarian endeavor successfully served approximately 15,000 devotees, ensuring their physical, mental, and spiritual nourishment. The meal consisted of 11 distinct varieties of *Aushada Annadhan*, specifically prepared according to ancient Hindu medicinal and dietary sciences. This special preparation is designed to heal the body and mind, thereby enabling recipients to connect with the divine grace of THE SPH and raise their consciousness to manifest the state, space, powers, being and superconsciousness of Paramashiva.
The service, which demonstrated the immense scale and efficiency of THE SPH’s mission, was managed by a dedicated team of 2 volunteers. Their commitment highlights the core values of selfless service (*seva*) central to Sanatana Hindu Dharma and KAILASA's global initiatives. This powerful act of *Annapoorna* contributes directly to THE SPH's goal of human consciousness awakening and the global humanitarian mission of feeding over 3 billion people worldwide, ensuring that no stomach goes hungry regardless of race, religion, or nationality.
