Significance of Annadanam

Food is a basic need and it is key to staying alive. So, when you offer Annadanam, you also offer pranadanam (‘prana’ means life and ‘danam’ means donation). That’s why food donation is considered among the most divine and revered noble deeds. Annadanam has been an integral part of Indian culture and rituals. Annadanam is a pure expression of humanity because it advocates compassion and unity by dismissing socio- economic differences such as religion, caste, creed, gender, status, and the like.

Annadanam in our scriptures:
  • “One who gives food, gives all that is worth giving in this world.” - Varaha Purana
  • “Do not send away anyone who comes to your door, without offering him food and hospitality.” - Taittriya Upanishad
Benefits of food donation:
  • It adds goodwill in your life through the sincere blessings of the recipients of your Annadanam
  • You receive the Lord’s divine and the choicest blessings
  • You earn punya (religious merit or good karma) for your noble deed
  • It adds positivity, humility, compassion and joy in your life
  • It resolves karmic debts
  • It liberates the soul from the cycles of birth and death and advances it towards attaining moksha (salvation)

Receive abundant blessings by celebrating this auspicious month and offering service to Lord Vishnu!

The Power of Giving

  • Bhagavad-gita 17.20

    दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे । देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम्

    A gift made because giving is right, to someone who can give nothing back, at a fitting time and place and to a worthy recipient, is called pure charity.

  • Bhagavad-gita 18.5

    यज्ञदानतप:कर्म न त्याज्यं कार्यमेव तत् । यज्ञो दानं तपश्चैव पावनानि मनीषिणाम्

    Worship, giving and self-discipline should never be abandoned but always practised, because these three purify even the wise.

  • Bhagavad-gita 9.26

    पत्रं पुष्पं फलं तोयं यो मे भक्त्य‍ा प्रयच्छति । तदहं भक्त्य‍ुपहृतमश्न‍ामि प्रयतात्मन:

    When a pure-hearted person lovingly offers Krishna a leaf, a flower, a fruit or a little water, He accepts and receives it.

  • Bhagavad-gita 9.27

    यत्करोषि यदश्न‍ासि यज्ज‍ुहोषि ददासि यत् । यत्तपस्यसि कौन्तेय तत्कुरुष्व मदर्पणम्

    Krishna invites us to turn every part of life into an offering to Him: our daily work, our meals, our worship, our gifts and our self-discipline.

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what devotees most often ask before offering Hanuman jayanti campaign Whatsapp.

Will I get an 80G tax certificate?

Indian donors giving in Indian rupees to sevas marked “80G eligible” can get one. Tick the 80G box at checkout and enter your PAN and postal address; the certificate is issued against your PAN and follows your receipt. Every seva in the donation has to be 80G eligible. A gift in another currency, or from a foreign citizen, is a foreign contribution under FCRA and never carries 80G.

Can I choose my own amount?

Where a seva allows it, pick “Other amount” and type your own. The minimum, and the maximum if there is one, is shown beside the field.

Will my name be shown on the website?

Yes, unless you ask us not to. An online donation is listed on the seva’s page among its recent devotees, by your first name and the initial of your last name, with its amount. To keep your name off, contact the temple office with your donation reference: the donation is then listed as “Anonymous devotee”, with its amount and date but not your name. Your receipt still carries your name, because a receipt has to.

Can I pay by UPI, bank transfer or cheque instead?

Yes, if you are an Indian citizen giving in rupees from an Indian account. The UPI, bank and cheque details, where the temple has published them, are under other ways to give on this page. If none are listed there, contact the temple office. After you have paid from your own bank or UPI app, send us the transaction reference so we can record the offering and issue your receipt.

Giving from outside India, or not an Indian citizen? Please give online in your currency where we accept it, or contact the temple office for our FCRA account details.

What if I am not sure my payment went through?

Trying again from the same form will not create a second donation. If your bank has debited you and the page did not confirm it, contact the temple office with your donation reference and we will trace it.
