Kodi Swamigal's wish
The act of offering food (Annadhanam) holds a significance that transcends the mere sustenance of the body. This age-old tradition, deeply ingrained in our cultural ethos, carries with it the essence of gratitude, compassion, and spiritual enrichment.
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.

Our Trust's Nithya Annadhanam activities in Tamil Nadu
Guided by the divine instructions of Kodi Thatha, Nithya annadhanam (Sacred Offering of Food) has been offered at our centres since 2018, centrally operated from Chennai. The materials for the annadhanam is procured in Chennai and then distributed to other areas. Well-trained volunteers and staff prepare the annaprasadham in a healthy and clean environment—no onion and garlic are used in the cooking.

Annadhanam & King Karna
Mahabharata, the great Indian epic, tells the story of king Karna. He was a renowned philanthropist known for donating money, gold and land, but not food. After death, Karna travelled to Swarga(heaven). To satiate his hunger, he realised that he had to suck his index finger when asked for food. Upon enquiring, when a starving stranger approached him, Karna had used his index finger to point at the place where food was. Food is the only charity that motivates the receiver into claiming that he is satisfied. Other acts of charity are likely never to satiate a person.
There is no meaning to the wealth gained by a person who does not spend it on feeding the poor and deserving.
