Annadaana - The Sacred Act of Food Donation
Annadaana, the donation of food, is considered one of the most sacred acts in Hindu tradition. At Shri Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, we continue this noble tradition by providing free meals to devotees and those in need.
"Annadanam Maha Danam" - The gift of food is the greatest gift of all.
Our Annadaana Program
Every day, our temple serves nutritious vegetarian meals to hundreds of devotees. This service is made possible through the generous contributions of our community members who sponsor meals in honor of special occasions, in memory of loved ones, or simply as an act of devotion.
