Serving the elderly
June 17, 2007
One need not serve the sanyasis to gain the merit of the anadanam yagya. We also serve food on the ghats in Varanasi . And it usually includes the elderly who may have come to Varanasi to support a relative in their final days.
“When you send rain upon the earth,
then the creatures breathe and live.
When there is food to their heart’s content,
they dwell in happiness.”
-Prashna Upanishad
