This time, the festival of lights, rangoli, sweets and new clothes, “Deepawali” is going to be brighter than ever as our beloved Guruji Sri Sri Ravishankarji has chosen to bless Gujarat with his divine presence.
As on Deepawali an ‘Annakut’ of hundreds of delicacies, made by the devotees with a lot of love is placed in front of god as an offering. The heart longs to offer as many items as possible. With immense pleasure and joy we announce that we AT AHMEDABAD have decided to get together and prepare 5000 different vegetarian food items to offer Guruji. This form of MahaPrasad is known as Annambrahma.
The purpose of this exercise is not to create a record for record’s sake, but to promote vegetarianism, which is very much rooted in the principles of non-violence, love for all living beings, and healthy eating. Volunteers from all over India will come to prepare these dishes. The quantity of each dish will be 2Kgs, which means 10000 kgs of food in total!
AS A GESTURE OF SEVA THE FOOD WILL THEN BE DISTRIBUTED AMONG UNDERPRIVILEGED CHILDREN.
On the event of Annambrahma, we will surrender all our gratitude at the Lotus feet of our Guru and express all the love we have in our heart. Guruji will notice everything with utmost affection and care. The MahaPrasad will then have His Blessings and we all will be able to share this precious Prasad with one another.
We will present enormous variety of Vegetarian food items from many states of India, as India is known for its openness to accept different cultures. We propose to include many international cuisines like Chinese, Italian, American, Thai etc. to offer to Guruji.
This herculean task can be made easy, if we all chip in the best that we can offer.
