Nourishing each other

When we think of giving, we think of nourishment. In the Bhagavad Gita it is written that when we nourish each other, we nourish the gods, who in turn nourish us. By such a simple thing as providing food for others, we are mutually nourished and attain the highest good.

The practice of giving

All in all, however we donate, we are feeding more than bodies. We are supporting spiritual growth in a very direct way. Whether aiding the hungry, sponsoring meals for those doing practices, providing for an ashram cow, or donating to the work of broadcasting teachings across the world, we are nourishing souls and helping Anandi Ma continue the work of Dhyanyogiji.

Shri Dhyanyogi dedicated his life to spiritual growth. He gave from his heart, spreading the gift of shaktipat to all who asked, sharing his knowledge freely wherever he was received, and feeding beloved villagers and their cows during times of famine in India.

Contributing to a person’s spiritual awakening is the highest charity, because once we’re enlightened, all our miseries are destroyed. The blessings you receive as a result of a donation are beyond the contemplation and understanding of the mind. —Anandi Ma

When you feed a hungry person, it’s like chipping away at your karma. But when you give a donation to help someone evolve spiritually, it’s like removing a brick wall that was blocking your progress.  —Dileepji

An annual Dhyanyoga Centers tradition

Donating to the community food bank

Every September-October comes the season of Shraddh, where we honor our ancestors with offerings and acts of charity, focused on food in particular. Each year we collect Shraddh donations to feed the hungry in Antioch and Nikora, donating a sizable amount of food to our local food bank in Antioch, CA. Here is a video about our annual tradition.
