Pitru Paksha is a sacred period dedicated to remembering and honouring our ancestors. It is a time to pause, reflect on the lives that came before us, and express our gratitude through prayers and offerings made in their memory.

One of the most meaningful offerings is Anna Daan, the giving of food.

“There has never been, nor will there be, a gift equal to the gift of food.” — Mahabharata, Anushasana Parva 13.66.6

This year, we dedicate our Anna Daan in memory of the lives lost in the devastating floods and landslides in Nepal.

So many families have experienced sudden loss and unimaginable grief, losing their parents, brothers, sisters and children. During a time when we remember and honour those who have passed before us, may we hold these lives in our hearts too.

We invite you to make an Anna Daan in their memory by feeding someone in need.

Your offering does not need to be large. A single meal can bring nourishment to someone who is hungry and offer a moment of comfort to someone going through a difficult time.

Make your Anna Daan today.
May they rest in peace.

Om Shanti.
