Annadanam is
a unique scheme among all donations. Nothing predominates it. By donating to
Annadanam Scheme people get moksha. ‘ Annam Para Brahma Swarupam’. Food only
can support the body to attain Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha. The person, who
participate in this sacred Annadanam, will be blessed by divine Gods. Creatures
cannot live without food, hence the donors of Annadanam are also considered as
donors of pranadanam. Pranadanam means to offer all things as donation,
accordingly they are blessed. Annadanam is a sacred activity. It is said that
the sacred works done by the people with the energy acquired by food bestows
half of its effect to the donor of food and the rest is to that person. Many
positive results like this can acquire from the Annadanam.
Service
to human is service to God. Serving food to the hungry is equal to effect of
performing ritual yagna. Human beings can only be satisfied with food but not
with gold, dress and other things, as they desire to have them more and more.
But in case of food a man wholeheartedly says that the food is ‘ enough ‘ for
him. It is said that glory, strength and fame will be acquired in Trilokas by
Annadanam. The donor of Anandanam will get first entry in the heaven. For this
noble cause, participate in Malladi Venkateswara swami Temple’s Annadanam Scheme by giving donations in huge
amounts and see that the programme is continued forever without any break
According
to the legends, Malladi kshetram is the sacred place and Lord Srinivasa ( who
settled in the form of Banyaan tree) is
the Mystic God at all the times in the universe Performing. Annadanam which is
the best among all charities, at the holiest place, to the devotees of greatest
God Lord Balaji, is really a noble act. You can be a part of this sacred Annadanam
Scheme by contributing ample amounts as donations.
