“Every time I enter the dining space, I am always very aware and grateful that I am coming for Annadanam. Everyone eats together but in silence, it's super powerful. I really enjoy this, it helps me to just be more involved with the whole process.” Alma, France
“Eating here is a spiritual experience. It makes you see food as something higher than yourself because without it, you cannot live, you cannot survive. So you just have to bow down. I am really grateful for the food experience that I’ve had here.” Aida, Kenya

Annadanam is also offered on special festival days such as Mahashivratri, Guru Purnima, Yaksha festival and during the nine days of Navratri to several thousand people who visit Isha Yoga Center. It is also offered on every Purnima (full moon), all year long.
