Every Saturday after Abhisekham for Sri Venkateshwara devotees are served prasadam after offering it to the Lord. Please take advantage of the opportunity to make Annadhanam. Please email annamfortemple@gmail.com for further information.
The word Annadhanam in Sanskrit literally means offering or sharing food. The importance of food is stressed in ancient scriptures including Vedas and Upanishads. The Dharma Sastra regards the guest as a 'deity' (Athithi Devo Bhava).This is in keeping with the worldwide belief among ancient society that god may move upon the earth in human guise and that one should therefore regard fellow beings with almost courtesy, respect and hospitality, including the offering of food. Annadhanam is conducted with this principle in mind.
