Why Donate for Annadaan?

Why Your Contribution Matters
At Antar Yog Foundation, we live by the principle of Yathashakti — giving according to one’s ability. The world has blessed us with prosperity, food and abundance; now is the time to give back. Your act of kindness through Annadaan is a gift that nurtures not only the body but also the soul, ensuring that no devotee goes hungry on this auspicious night of devotion.

Scriptural Insights on the Power of Annadaan

• Bhagavad Gita (3.13): “Those who prepare and consume food without first offering it in charity, are verily eating sin.”
• Manusmriti (3.91): “One who offers food with devotion receives merit that extends for generations.”
• Garud Puran: “Feeding the hungry is the simplest way to attain Moksha and dissolve past karmas.”

Who Benefits from Annadaan?

The Offering That Nourishes the Body and the Soul
When you contribute to the Maha Annadaan, you are not just feeding individuals — you are feeding the very spirit of Dharma. Your generous offering ensures:

• Devotees, saints, and spiritual seekers remain nourished as they engage in the sacred practices of Shiva sadhana and fasting rituals.
• Volunteers and Sevadars, who work tirelessly in service, are given the energy they need to continue their selfless work with devotion.
• The Needy and Underprivileged feel the warmth of Sanatan Dharma’s generosity, as they too are served a nourishing meal during their visit to the temple.
