Appeasing Hunger

***AUM JAI GURUVAE THUNAI ***

Hunger is an “DISEASE” with which every one fights everyday. That’s why it is called “PASI PINI”.

As  Saint Thiruvalluvar said,

“Great indeed is the power acquired through austerity to endure hunger.
But greater still is the power of those who relieve the hunger of others.“

Appeasing the Hunger of other beings is the highest form of Dharma that one can do. All Great Sages constantly remind us about this dharma, which invokes the divine presence within. At last, it is the ONLY HUMAN PIT OF DESIRE that can be FULFILLED in the whole Life.

Fasting (Viradham) not only cleanses our body, but also makes us realize about the importance of food. After breaking the fast, an ordinary food itself will appear so delicious. If Skipping 1 out of 3 meals in a day itself brings so much discomfort mentally and physically, just think about the beings, who cry for just 1 meal a day!!!

When we are bored and worried about the regular kind of food we are eating and searching for delicious restaurants, there are beings around us begging for “something” to eat to keep them alive.

Annai Siddhar Rajakumar Swamy feeding an calf in Ashram

One of my Siddha Guru Annai Siddhar Rajakumar Swamy, the founder of Maha Siddhargal Trust would say “For the one who feeds others hunger, the divine enacts his every thought or need and any word he utters would come true by the virtue of his good karma accumulated by this Dharma”.

Perambalur is 1-hour drive from Trichy situated in Trichy – Chennai route. Elambalur is a small village situated here, mostly comprising of daily wagers. Most of the people here go to out-stations or other states for months to earn. So their children’s also mostly accompany them for work or go for fields, quarry, and construction work for earning their daily bread. Even for those who are fed in home, the food they eat is not nutritious and these kids don’t have enough growth of their age and look abnormal.

Maha Siddhargal Trust is a non-profit organization situated in the foot hill of Brahma Rishi Hills, which feeds the hungry stomach [[Not only Humans, but also Bairavas (Dogs), Aanjaneyars (Monkeys), Birds, Cows, Ducks, even ants]] on a daily basis. AnnaDhanam also carried out here on a daily basis where numerous sages and people are fed. These kids also come here for breakfast, dinner etc., I took these pictures myself during one of my visit there, when I personally fed them with just podridge, which they drank with utmost happiness.

If we were able to provide a small amount on a monthly basis, it would be very helpful to feed this needy people.

I just want to recall a scene from the life of Karnan here. One day when taking bath, he was applying oil from a gold cup, which is kept to his left side. That time a seeker came asking for help. Suddenly Karnan looked around and picked up and gave the golden cup using his left hand. The others around there scolded for his poor manners for giving in left hand. For that he replied,  “My mind may change in between the tiny gap of transferring the cup from left to right. That’s why I gave it immediately”.

When the Heart Says YES to giving, ACT immediately before the mind gets in to the picture with a lot of logical reasons to stop that.

I accept that, the money you spend for this cause won’t get you any materialistic goods like perfumes, cosmetics, a night out dinner, a recharge coupon etc., But I BET you that, On thinking and Seeing the happiness of the beings after feeding them will bring you the supreme satisfaction which our papers cant borrow.

Please take part in this Sacred act and lets try to appease the hunger of the beings as far as we can...

 A big thanks to all of you from the bottom of my heart... GOD BLESS
