What is Annadanam ?

The Sanskrit word Annadanam means the offering or sharing (danam) of food (annam).

"Annadanam means someone gives you the opportunity to be a giver of life. When you offer this without any expectation, you become an embodiment of Love.” - Sadhguru

At Isha, Annadanam is offered twice a day to thousands of volunteers, brahmacharis and visitors of the Isha Yoga Centre, who are dedicating their lives to the various spiritual and social projects of the foundation.

What about this Isha Foundation ?

Isha Foundation is a volunteer-based, non-profit organisation founded in 1992 in India by Sadhguru, which addresses all aspects of human wellbeing. Over the last three decades, Isha Foundation's activities have touched the lives of over 200 million people, reaching out to individuals irrespective of their economic, cultural or religious background.
