Annadanam, or the sacred offering of food has always been part of the Indian spiritual tradition and ethos. Today, we have the privilege of being able to effortlessly support Annadanam for the thousands of sanyasis, brahmacharis, residents, and volunteers who live and work at the Isha Yoga Center. These ardent seekers have offered their lives to uplift human consciousness and contribute to the wellbeing of all, with singleminded, relentless dedication.

Twice a day, Annadanam is offered to everyone present at the Isha Yoga Center, including guests and visitors. The meal is shared in silence, preceded by an invocation — a powerful chant that enhances one’s receptivity to the food consumed.

You can celebrate important occasions in your life, such as birthdays, anniversaries or memorial days honoring your loved ones, by offering this Annadanam. You can also offer Isha Biksha, a one-time contribution to offer the Annadanam once a year for the next 21 years — for which you will receive a blessing from Sadhguru every year on the occasion of your choice.

You can contribute online or via bank transfer, cheque, demand draft or cash. We seek your support in continuing this sacred tradition through the simple act of donating Annadanam.
