Help Feed Hundreds Of Starving Sadhus and Poor Amid The Second Wave

The Corona outbreak is the largest pandemic we’ve seen since 1900. With no cure in sight, the rapid spread of this virus has made countries close their borders, drove people into self-isolation and an inevitable lockdown was put into place. The lockdown was a painful decision for many industries, companies, shops, and establishments. And, with a ban on social gatherings and crowding, the temples have been shut.

Tiruvannamalai, a town in Tamil Nadu is home to the famous and vast ancient temple at the foot of the sacred Arunachala Hill. It’s an architectural wonder with intricately carved gopurams (towers) and mesmerizing details. This temple is famous for hindu pilgrimages and there are hundreds of Sadhus and poor people who live at the foot of this hill. These Sadhus were dependent on the devotees, visitors and the Annadanam for food. However, ever since the pandemic began they have been struggling to survive.

Due to the fear of the pandemic, many charity organizations have stopped their work. There is an abundance of Sadhus, poor, needy and homeless people who reside in Girivalam path, a 14km stretch that goes around the hill.

Satguru Charitable Trust has been generously working towards Annadanam (feeding drive) for the past 15 years. With the support of volunteers, they were able to provide quality food to the poor and the marginalized communities. Their work has been extraordinary as they were able to feed over 3000 people every day.

It has become a regular practice now for the Sadhus, poor and the homeless to receive food from a little mini van that travels the entire 14 km stretch.

As the country battles the second wave, just like last year, Satguru Charitable Trust wants to feed the Sadhus and the homeless and needy. However, with COVID-19 still at large, they’re struggling to continue their humble work of feeding them. With various restrictions being imposed, Satguru Charitable trust needs your help to give meals to the hundreds of underprivileged people and Sadhus. The Sadhus have no one else to help them and are relying on your support.

With your help, they will be able to give them nutritious meals which will keep them healthy and help them get by during these difficult times.

You are their only hope. Donate food, save lives!
