This is the best place I have been to ! The food served at the Annapurna kitchen is really Sattvik and tasty. They also serve lakhs of needy people for free. I remember during Covid, the Annapurna kitchen supplied free food to many poor laborers and migrant workers in Karnataka. The Art of Living ashram is truly a monument par excellence- the vibrations of the place, the positivity and the exuberance is simply outstanding.

[@chandraravikumar]

The communities that give free and fresh food to the largest number of people in the world without discrimination on religion, wealth, nationality, etc. is the Bharathiya communitiesbof Hindu, Gurmath, Jaina etc. This is done without any expectation of religious conversion, political affiliations, etc. All this is financed by voluntary contributions from our Bharathiya people with Bharathiya traditions. Rich and poor, Billionaire and beggar, all contribute.

This is newly developed and they are feeding ppl equally. Their mission is not equal to Sikhism. Secondly, khalistanis abuses hindus for going their in langar. Why you go their like beggar.

[@ramadevipatel1775]

It's amazing to see how organized the kitchen is. To prepare such huge quantity of food is not easy. That too organic! It's amazing. And children receiving vedic education, it's very inspiring. India needs more such centers. The art of living is to be appreciated for all this.

[@DeepeshDeomurari]

Apart from feeding food to lakhs in day, the most amazing part is how they are processing waste to be reused in kitchen in form of biogas and petrol. This is true caring about environment. If such small area of farms can yield vegetables for 40,000 people daily then same techniques can increase yield of farmers manifold. Zero budget scientific organic farming is need of the hour! I insist that #NationalGoegraphy should cover that secrets and be the base to increase farmer income which are paying huge percentage to pesticides and chemicals!

such religious organizations who r wealthy need to start AYUSH hospitals cum medical colleges, demand cum procurement center of ayurvedic herbs/medicinal plant/aromatic plant/fruits/vegs, professional skill training center in every district of Indian state they r operating in.

[@chandraravikumar]

The spiritual institutions of Bharath and the her culture of great antiquity, ( which includes ALL the Dharmas that are born from and are of this land, Sanaathana, Jaina, Bauddha, Gurmath, and all the indigenous Dharmas) are the biggest and largest hearted section of humanity that gives freely to assuage hungry stomachs. They do this wherever they can, in our and in other countries. They give the best, fresh, nutritious, love-rich food to whoever comes, no matter the skin colour, religion, nationality. This do without demanding conversion. And every rupee spent is from donations of ordinary people - from the richest to the rag picker. Yet, yes YET, it is Christianity and Islam and their institutions that are mostly lauded by the media for their “charities”. This is the narrative that is popularized to misinform the gullible masses. Just as a case in point, the readers of this comment can check out just which religious and social communities distributed food free to the suffering people during the two years of Covid, during the floods of Chennai and elsewhere, during incidents of other natural disasters, to hungry students with thin pockets in college campuses everywhere, in war zones . . . and much more.

Spiritual leaders like Sadguru and Sri Sri ravisankar has re defined the spirituality and service with the innovative combination of healthy mind and nutritious food. While major temples like thirupathi, Guruvayoor and udupi are feeding thousands of devotees, it's Sri Sri ravisankar and Sadguru who brought respectability to spirituality with disciplined and dedicated volunteers. It's the free langar in Sikh gurudwaras which should be appreciated for their selflessness by providing free prasadam to every visitors to the gurudwaras in any part of the world.
