The word Annadanam literally means offering food to the people. People cannot live without food, hence the donors of Annadanam are also considered as donors of ‘Pranadanam’. People who will donate for Annadanam would get great honour in the court of the LORD.

ḥotāram ṟatna-ḍhātamam ||1|| Regular interaction with Agni will enable one to naturally turn and function inwards eventually leading to pratyahara, dharana, dhyana and samadhi. A properly done fire ritual incinerates the weeds of ignorance and nurtures the seeds of growth. Intelligence is when one gainfully harnesses Agni. Thaai Madi Deepam provides Homa training to all irrespective of any barriers.

Agni metaphorically and physically is a transformative agent causing sublime changes in both the individual and the environment. The significance of Fire rituals/ Homams in overcoming problems both material and spiritual finds mention several times in vedas, the itihasas and the puranas and is aptly quoted by several scholars.
