AnnaDanam:

“Annadbhavanthibhootani” – These are the words of Sri Krishna in Bhagvat Gita.It means that all creation is sustained due to food. Whatever beings exist on earth, they are all born out of food. By food alone they remain alive and to that they return to in the end.

Annadanam plays a vital role in any dharmic activity. In our tradition, the importance given to annadanam is innumerable and is considered to be very sacred. Helping to assuage a person’s hunger will win you good karmas in this world and in the next.

The trustees of Goveda Foundation and their friends had been performing Annadanam on the eve of the Arubathumoovar festival at Mylapore for almost a decade.

People of all walks of life join together and participate in this Dharmic activity.
