Weekly annadaanam seva unites recipients and volunteers in spirit of selfless service
Sunday 28 April 2024 witnessed yet another occasion to celebrate the joy of giving and sharing through the weekly annadaanam seva under the aegis of the Satsang Seva Mission (SSM) at Bengaluru.
The 30 senior citizens and youngsters at Vallabh Niketan Ashram partook of a special breakfast in the tranquil premises of the Ashram. Seven years of nutritional support, academic sessions, Spoken English classes, and yoga sessions have cemented the bond of camaraderie amongst the residents and the volunteers.
The SSM volunteers also served a nourishing lunch to 60 daily wagers and pavement dwellers at Lakshmipura, Gavipuram at the premises of Adamya Chetana, an NGO that supports the nutritional requirements of the less privileged. The annadaanam seva began with a prayer of gratitude to Mother Annapurna for Her abundance and blessings. The recipients savoured their meal under the soothing canopy of a gulmohar tree, rinsed their plates, and placed them in a separate basket. Some of them requested the volunteers to pack food for them in their own containers.
The spirit of selfless service resonated with the volunteers as they interacted with the recipients.
You too can join our team of dedicated volunteers and experience the joy of giving and sharing.
