Annadhanam: A Sacred Service by Shri Shirdi Sai Trust, Chennai

Food is not just nourishment for the body, it is comfort for the soul.” With this belief at its heart, Shri Shirdi Sai Trust, Chennai, continues its noble mission of serving humanity through Annadhanam—the sacred act of feeding the hungry. Inspired by the teachings and blessings of Shirdi Sai Baba, the Trust strongly believes that no individual should go hungry, irrespective of their background or circumstances.

On 07-01-2026, the Trust organized an Annadhanam service to support the poor, elderly, and daily wage workers who struggle to afford even a single nutritious meal. A simple yet wholesome meal was prepared and served with love and devotion. For many beneficiaries, this meal was more than food—it was hope, care, and reassurance that someone truly cares for them.

In Indian tradition, Annadhanam is considered one of the highest forms of charity. Feeding a hungry person is equivalent to serving God himself. Shri Shirdi Sai Trust follows this spiritual principle wholeheartedly. Every grain of rice served carries compassion, humility, and gratitude. Volunteers of the Trust actively participate in cooking, packing, and distributing food, ensuring dignity and respect for every individual receiving it.

The Trust’s Annadhanam initiatives aim not only to address hunger but also to build a compassionate society. In a world where food wastage exists alongside hunger, such services remind us of our shared responsibility toward fellow human beings. Through consistent efforts, Shri Shirdi Sai Trust has touched many lives, especially in underserved communities around Chennai.

None of this would be possible without the generous support of donors and well-wishers. Contributions—big or small—help the Trust continue its mission. Every donation directly supports food preparation, essential supplies, and outreach activities. Donors become part of a divine service, earning blessings through selfless giving.

Beyond Annadhanam, the Trust also focuses on social welfare activities aimed at uplifting the needy. However, feeding the hungry remains its core mission, as hunger is one of the most basic challenges faced by vulnerable communities.

Shri Shirdi Sai Trust humbly invites everyone to join hands in this noble cause. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading awareness, every effort matters. Together, we can ensure that no one sleeps hungry and that kindness continues to flow freely.

With Sai Baba’s blessings guiding every step, the Trust remains committed to serving humanity with love, faith, and dedication. Let us remember—a single meal can change a day, and a single act of kindness can change a life.

🙏 Om Sai Ram 🙏
