Anna means food, and Daan means donation. Making assure that no one goes hungry is what we as a society believe in collectively. Acts such as these will eliminate the continuous cycle of starvation, undernourishment, and suffering, enabling the poor to live a better life.
Beaten rice was the dish that Sudhama offered Shree Krishna during his visit. As a true friend, he remembered that it was Krishna’s favorite meal. And the Lord was so happy with his gesture of spirituality and devotion that Sudhama has rewarded with alms and gold, and he no longer was grief-stricken anymore. We- serving the needy means serving Krishna.
