His teaching echoed the sentiment that offering food was not just a physical act but a sacred ritual that nourished both the giver and the receiver at a profound level.
Throughout his stay on the terrace of Puravipalayam Palace, Kodi Swamigal illustrated that food offered with love and devotion becomes a source of spiritual nourishment, uplifting not only the body but also the soul. Many a time, when devotees came to him seeking answers to their questions, they were asked to do Annadhanam.

Food - The Lifeline for every being
Hunger was described as a disease by our forefathers. Generally, unfortunate conditions cause distress to the human body. But hunger causes pain to the soul. Hunger pangs are known as 'pini'. The people who helped to cure them were aptly named pasippini maruthuvar(hunger doctor) by our elders.
