The Satsang Seva Mission (SSM) continues to stride silently yet steadily, dedicated to the principle that service to humanity is service to God. Guided by the vision of Sri M, the months of February and March 2026 witnessed a beautiful tapestry of initiatives aimed at nourishing bodies, empowering minds, and protecting the vulnerable.
Annadaanam Seva: The Sacred Tradition of Nourishment
Feeding the hungry remains the cornerstone of our mission across multiple cities and locations. Join us as we take you through these sacred anna kshetras.
Mathura and Madanapalle
Madhu Ki Rasoi, the community kitchen of The Satsang Foundation, continued to offer daily meals at Mathura-Vrindavan, the land of Lord Krishna, reaching out to the steady influx of pilgrims, sadhus, travelers, and migrant workers every evening.
While at the Madanapalle Ashram, the dining space continued to welcome visitors, guests, and residents alike for meals throughout the day. It provided sustenance, nutrition, and vital energy to the children and teachers of The Satsang Vidyalaya with daily midday meals and snacks
Bengaluru
As with every Sunday, the Vallabh Niketan Ashram resonated with warmth as the young boys of this shelter home enjoyed a special breakfast after an invigorating yoga session. Tending to the elders first, the youngsters ensured that they included everyone in their tranquil yet cheerful Sunday fiesta. Daily nutritional requirements for all residents are assured with the provision of monthly dry rations and daily milk supply.
For the young girls at Namma Mane, a similar routine continued to offer consistent and holistic support: provision of monthly dry rations towards healthy, balanced meals and a weekly yoga session on Sundays to fortify their growth and development.
Full-course meals continued to draw daily wage workers and marginalized groups of people living in the vicinity of Lakshmipura in Gavipuram together. Served with utmost respect, offering much-needed dignity and comfort to vulnerable individuals, the Sunday annadaanam seva is an integral part of our community outreach program.
Kerala
Dedicated outreach in tribal and rural communities continued, focusing on holistic well-being through targeted nutrition and medical support. Over 2,800 eggs were distributed to students at Idinjar Tribal School and Mully Govt LPS to bridge nutritional gaps in their daily diet. Essential provision kits were provided to 50 bedridden patients in Peringamala Grama Panchayat. Collaborating with local health departments, high-priority patients will be supported in the coming months with sustained medical and food support.
Mumbai
Annadaanam seva takes on many forms in the sprawling metropolis of Mumbai ranging from daily meals for wage workers in the bustling bylanes of Byculla to the consistent Saturday breakfast at the Sai Mandir in Chunabhatti, welcoming local residents, school children, and hungry passersby.
The Guruvaar Annadaanam Seva continued to honor the Guru Parampara with steaming cups of chai and vada pav, a filling combination for weary autorickshaw and cab drivers and little children from local communities at Lokhandwala, Nalasopara, and Babulnath.
Nagpur
At Nagpur, the monthly annadaanam seva encompassed provision of monthly dry rations at the Shri Krushna Manovikas Kendra, a shelter home for differently-abled women and a special meal for 100 children studying at Nutan Bharat Vidyalaya. In February, an extraordinary seva ensured that high-protein peanut chikki, amaranth laddus, and makhana were offered to over 700 primary students at the Utkarsha Vidyalaya helping them tide over nutritional deficiencies.
Pune
Heartwarming, celebratory sevas unfolded at ANIKET Sevabhavi Sanstha as the 75 differently-abled residents and their caregivers enjoyed festive meals in March to mark World Sparrow Day and the Gudi Padwa, ushering in the new year with joy. Sparrow nests found a new home at ANIKET, fostering the spirit of maitri or amity with all beings and environmental conservation among the children.
Warangal
Monthly dry ration supplies at Mallikamba Manovikasa Kendram were offered for daily meals, supporting 250 differently-abled children residing here. Often neglected and abandoned by their own families, a comforting routine comprising timely meals and medical attention continue to ensure their well-being.
Empowering Education and Mobility
Overcoming barriers to learning, our community outreach focussed on providing students with the tools they need to succeed.
Mumbai
Bhaktivedant Vidyabhavan Gurukul, Murbad
The wheels of change were set in motion for 20 children from underserved communities, young batuks, scholars, studying at Bhaktivedant Vidyabhavan Gurukul with the provision of bicycles to facilitate their daily commute to school. The children can now save time and devote their energy to the study of Sanskrit, the Bhagavad Gita, farming practices, and other subjects.
Mithanagar Municipal School, Goregaon
The regular yoga sessions continued to support the well-being of children with a recap of the foundational principles of yoga – the Yamas and Niyamas. Sukshma Vyayama followed by standing and supine asanas, pranayama, and meditation helped the children focus on their upcoming year-end exams.
Vallabh Niketan Ashram, Bengaluru
Support classes in Mathematics and other subjects were launched for the gifted youngsters residing in Vallabh Niketan Ashram pledging a long-term commitment to their academic growth. Sturdy stools supplemented their learning sessions, providing them with a comfortable environment.
Compassion for all Sentient Beings
Our mission extends beyond human borders to the gentle creatures who share our world.
Kusgaon, Pune
The Nandi Shaala was inaugurated at Kalika Gaushala, a sanctuary dedicated to the protection of abandoned and injured cows. The inauguration was marked by a traditional pooja and feeding of the cows, reaffirming our commitment to Ahimsa and the compassionate care of all living beings.
