Sponsoring Annadana, the act of providing free meals to the hungry and needy, brings profound blessings and positive karma to the donor. It is considered a highly meritorious and selfless act that nourishes not only the body but also the soul. By feeding the hungry, one gains spiritual purification, inner satisfaction, and the love and gratitude of those who are uplifted by the act of compassion. Annadana fosters unity, promotes goodwill, and strengthens the bond of humanity, leading to a sense of fulfillment and contentment in the giver's heart. Additionally, it is believed to invoke divine blessings, prosperity, and protection, ensuring the donor's well-being and spiritual growth.

If we surrender then we are always at peace, and whether we get what we want or not, (or even whether we are happy or not) doesn't matter. This is becausewe accept everything that occurs happens for the best.
