Annadanam

Annadanam, the noble act of providing food to the needy, is a cherished tradition at Adwaithasramam in Aluva. Established in 1913 by the great spiritual leader Sree Narayana Guru, the ashram places Annadanam at the heart of its mission to serve humanity and uphold the values of equality and compassion. Through this sacred practice, the ashram embodies the Guru’s profound teachings of universal brotherhood: "Whatever may be the differences in man's creed, dress, language, etc., they all belong to the same creation." Adwaithasramam not only nourishes the body but also fosters spiritual well-being, creating a harmonious space for service and unity. Rooted in Advaita Vedanta, the ashram continues to inspire acts of kindness and selflessness, preserving the Guru's legacy through its Annadanam initiatives and community programs.
