The noble tradition of Annadaanam, selfless offering of food is a divine service that uplifts lives and nourishes both the body and spirit of those in need.
Feed the one who is hungry, share knowledge with one who has none, think of solving the discomfort of one who lives in it, worship the one who is poor, serve him considering him to be Daridra Narayana – the God personification.
– Sri M, Founder, The Satsang Foundation
At The Satsang Foundation, Annadaanam Seva is not merely about feeding the hungry; it is a sacred act of worship, a chance to recognize the divine in every soul we serve. It epitomizes the dignity of a simple meal offered with humility to those ravaged by hunger, helplessness, and neglect. This profound belief guides every meal we prepare and offer.
Under the aegis of the Satsang Foundation, the Satsang Seva Mission humbly carries forward this sacred tradition, providing free meals to thousands of hungry souls every month.
What began as an emergency response in April 2020 has now grown into a sustained movement. Through the dedication of the Satsang Seva Mission, we have distributed over 2.34 million meals to more than 618,000 people across 14 states in India, including Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi-NCR, Haryana, Punjab, and Jammu & Kashmir.
Annadaanam Seva forms an integral part of our mission, delivering daily, weekly, and monthly meals and dry rations to children in orphanages, the differently-abled, senior citizens in old age homes, the homeless in shelters, as well as daily wage earners and pavement dwellers in urban neighborhoods.
Our volunteers serve with a simple yet profound spirit: addressing hunger with dignity and offering every meal not as charity, but as an expression of heartfelt respect and care for those we serve.
Your generous support can help us:
- Provide fresh, sattvic meals to those in need
- Source quality ingredients with the highest hygiene standards
- Extend our services to underserved regions and during special festivals
- Empower our volunteers with the resources necessary to sustain this mission
Every rupee you donate transforms into meals, smiles, and blessings.
