Mahalaya Pitru Paksha Annadan Seva at Arunachalam

In the holy month of Bhadrapada, during Mahalaya Pitru Paksha 2025, Satguru Charitable Trust is organizing a grand Annadan Seva at their Ashram on the sacred Arunachala Mountain in Tiruvannamalai.

From 7th September (Purnima) to 21st September (Mahalaya Amavasya), freshly cooked meals will be lovingly served every day to 5000 Sadhus, Sadhakas, and Devotees. On Mahalaya Amavasya, the most significant day of this fortnight, nearly 20,000 people are expected to partake in this sacred Annadan.

Daily Menu At Annadan:

Rice, Sambar, Rasam, Buttermilk, Two Curries, Vada, and Payasam

This wholesome and nutritious meal will nourish thousands of hungry souls who gather at Arunachala during this sacred fortnight.

Spiritual Significance of Annadan in Pitru Paksha

Pitru Paksha is the divine fortnight dedicated to remembering and offering gratitude to our forefathers. Scriptures declare that Annadan (donation of food) is the highest form of charity, and when performed during Pitru Paksha, it becomes even more powerful.

• Donating food at this time appeases the souls of the ancestors (Pitrs).
• It helps in the removal of Pitru Dosha, ensuring harmony in the family.
• Ancestors bless the donor’s entire lineage with health, wealth, progeny, and happiness.
• Donors earn immense punya (merit) by serving Sadhus and the poor in the holy land of Arunachala.

Thus, every morsel served becomes a sacred offering to the Pitrus and to Lord Shiva Himself, who resides as Arunachaleshwara.

Budget & Appeal

To organize this Mega Annadan Seva, an estimated amount of ₹50 Lakhs is required.

Satguru Charitable Trust humbly appeals to all devotees to come forward and contribute generously to this noble cause.

Your donation will not only feed thousands but also become a timeless offering to your ancestors, bringing blessings for generations to come.

How You Can Be a Part

• Donate as per your Shraddha (earnestness) and sponsor meals during Pitru Paksha.
• Share this campaign with family and friends to multiply the seva.
• Remember, even the smallest contribution becomes a sacred act of Shraddha when done in this holy period.
