Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The glory of annadaana Anna daanaat param daaann na butham na bhavishyati Naatra paatra vichaa roshti nakaala niyamastaa Among all the virtues annadaana is the highest virtue. Annam prajapathi sakshat Vishnu shiva swayam Tasmaat anna samam daanam na bhutham na bhavisyati “there is no virtue like annadaana. Among all the various daanas annadaana is the most highest.’ . its verily the form of shiva and Vishnu The merits of performing severe tapas, millions of japa and devata pujana are attain by just feeding a hungry person. The person who feeds the needy is like a person who gave them life. Every single anna (rice ) contain in the food given to the poor and the needy will destroy the sin done in one birth! The vedaas hail anna (food) as the form of Brahman as it’s the source of life. ( annam bramhethi vyajaanaat)This can be seen in thaitiriya Upanishad Gaja duraga sahasram gokulam koti daanam Kanakha rajata paatram medhini sakharantham Upaya kula vishuddham koti kanya pradaanam Nahi nahi bahu daanam annadaanam samaapa The merit obtained by doing one single annadaana cannot be compared even to the daana phala of thousand elephants, horses and cattels, by giving a way thousands of gifts made of gold and silver, by giving the whole land and sea on earth, by conducting kanya daana (wedding) for 1 crore kanyas. This shows the greatness of annadaana. Annadaana is a very important part in mantra purascarana . where one has to perform dashamsa homa, dashamsa tarpana and dashamsa annadaana. Without annadaana mantra siddhi is not achieveable and the purascarana is incomplete.the whole benefit of the mantra siddhi is obtained through this annadaana. The reason behind this is, annadaana removes the shortcomings in the purascarana karma and makes it complete.it removes the bakti lobha, mantra lobha and kriya lobha.. And bestows perfection. Our guruji always say “…. If u ask me whether a person who has done millions of japa and did severe tapas is higher or the person who has fed 100 people in his lifetime….. the answer will be the person who fed the 100 persons†all the punya phalas promised in the scriptures are attained easily by feeding the poors and the sadhus. Normal persons who don’t know how to do worship, japa etc can get the similar benefit in multiple folds by just feeding the needy and the sadhus. If u give money to a person he will not be satisfied, if u give gold, vastra etc… still the same…. He will want more…….but he can only eat until his stomach gets full. He himself will say enough and goes home satisfied. Feeding the sadhus and shiva baktas ia a great blessings for mankind. Its like feeding shiva himself , as they are the human form of shiva. Its very rare to get an opportunity to feed a holy men. If got…. It shouldn’t be missed. Feeding a holy men can remove all our obstacles in life and spiritual path, and it blesses with wisdom. All past karmas are washed away the moment you feed a sadhu. Thats the power of annadaana! Annapoorne sadha purne sankara praana vallabhe nyana vairagya siddhyartham biksham dhehi cha parvathi!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Daana in any form is great, Daana has to be done to the deserving people/animals based on the need, any daana done in self-less spirit, in compassion and without attachment is a divine act. So how can we classify daana in different categories and follow that to gain mantra siddhi or moksha? Every soul/being that takes birth on earth has an obligation to god or nature to help and take care of lesser beings (that includes humans, animals, plants and nature), it is a divine duty towards god and there is no doubt the rewards are enormous for doing it, but we should not focus on the rewards but only on the duty.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Dear brother. Thank you for your mail. Midst of mountains of abusive emails and critics, your kind words has made me feel better. We started this seva programme with good faith, hoping to have many like minded souls to help the poor. But many emailed us abusive remarks …calling us scam etc instead. Our sri vidya friends agreed to perform some homas for free (without taking any dakshinas etc ) just to collect funds to feed the poor souls in kashi. A close friend of mine helped us to create a page about the homas just to let others know about the homas. Anyway , we will still carry on the annadaana seva as scheduled in kashi in the month of shrawan. We will feed as many as we can with whatever we have. We are doing this as a seva and not because of any kinds of expectations or merits. I’ve just sent a general mail on the merits of annadaana., so that everyone will know about its greatness. All my intention is to see happiness in those poor soul’s eyes. What’s more greater than this? It’s a great satisfaction to see them happy. I just surrendered everything to the lotus feet of sree tripurasundari sametha candramouliswara swami. Thanks for helping us in this seva. May sree candramouliswara parabrahma bless u with his divine love and grace!!!!
