APPEAL FOR THE NOBLE ACT FOR DONATION/SPONSORING ANNA DAANAM अन्नदानम सेवा on

“SRI SHARADA BHARATI ANNAPURNA ANNA DANAM SEVA (SRI SEVA)”

DEAR DEVOTEES/WELLWISHERS/SISTERS & BROTHERS/ALUMNI

Greetings from Jagadguru Shankaracharya Mahasansthanam,
Sri Sharada Peetham, Sringeri.

Right from several Seers, Sages, Saints Like Swami Vivekananda, Dayananda Saraswati and others, like British Royal Families, British Vice Royals, National Leaders of Freedom Movement including Mahatma Gandhi, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Netaji Subhas Ch Bose, Pt. Nehru, Sardar Patel to all present Indian Statesmen and luminaries from all walks of life are ardent followers and devotees of our organization which has been continuously serving the requirements of the masses in the educational sector for centuries and presently under the Divine Patronage of the 36 th Ruling Pontiff Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahasannidhanam and Jagadguru Sri Sri Vidhu Sekhara Bharati Sannidhanam, are leading the same legacy of Spiritual, Philanthropic, Academic and Philosophical Culture and Indian Universal Ethos & Values across the globe through our numerous branch centers.

We take pride in introducing ourselves as the knowledge provider, Government of India, Ministry of Education approved institution of higher education, primarily offering PGDM/MBA with Research Programme. We (SRISIIM) are also a National Center of Excellence for Research & Development, as recognized as a Scientific & Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Ministry of Science and Technology, Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Govt. of India. We would also like to apprise you that our mission is to foster Research and Development on Indian Ancient Wisdom, Indian Knowledge System (IKS) and New Age Knowledge for achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

Along with these our endeavor of service to Global Humanity is age old practice, as has been initiated by our Jagagurus since time immemorial and we committed to it. Nature is full of works on the principle of "As you give, so shall you receive", or simply put "good for good, bad for bad". The puraanas (scriptures) and epics hail the glory of Anna Daan. ‘Annam’ means food (grain) and ‘Daanm’ means service to humanity. A yajna is considered incomplete without Anna Daan. The primary survival kit for humans comprises three basic necessities 'Food, Shelter and Clothing', and food is considered vital among them.

Anna Daan is considered as Maha Daanam. It is believed that by donating food, the sins of births are removed. According to Lord Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita : which means that food nourishes all creation.

In obedience to nature’s principle “As you give, so shall you receive”, charity by giving money would get you money, but charity by giving food shall get you more money which covers the cost of food, as well as for buying shelter and clothing too. Hence, Anna Daan is an important act of charity.

“IN THE ACT OF GIVING(DANAM), YOU GROW, YOUR SOCIETY GROWS AND YOUR COUNTRY GROWS! GIVING IS THE MEANS OF GROWTH.”
- Swami Dayananda Saraswati
