Food offered to the Lord becomes His mercy
In the Vedic tradition Anna Daan is revered as the most meritorious form of charity, for food sustains life itself. Lord Krishna declares in the Bhagavad Gita that He is the fire of digestion in every living being — thus feeding someone is directly serving the Lord.
Our Anna Daan programme serves wholesome, sanctified prasadam to devotees, students and the underprivileged across Visakhapatnam — every day, every festival, and during natural disasters and special occasions. Each plate is cooked with devotion in a hygienic kitchen and offered to the Lord before it reaches the one who hungers.
“Anna Daan, the donation of food, is the highest of all charities, for it sustains life itself.”

Voices of devotion
We sponsored the Sunday meal at the temple. When I saw the joy on the faces of the people being fed — especially the children — I understood the real meaning of Anna Daan.
My late grandmother always said the greatest charity is feeding the hungry. In her memory, we now sponsor meals on her tithi every year. It brings our whole family together in devotion.
The prasadam from this temple is truly special — you can taste the love it is cooked with. I am proud to contribute every month knowing someone is fed because of it.
Lord Krishna is the fire of digestion in every living being. Feeding a person is feeding Him. This understanding transformed how our family donates — Anna Daan is now our first choice.
