Shri Dasanudas Charities is an attempt to revive the ancient culture of hospitality by uniting the people of the world with food and education. Purified Food (Prasadam) is by far the best communicator.

One of the characteristics of a learned person is their ability to see the spiritual equality of all beings. This equal vision (pandita sama darshinah) enables one to see and respect every living being as an equally important member of this worlwide family. Ignorance of this fact is the underlying cause of all the world`s problems. We aim to remove this ignorance by uniting people through such charitable activities as Annadan (Free food distribution), Vidyadan (Sponsoring Education), Oushadan (Free Medical Aid) and through Sankirtan (Congregational Prayer).

Please join us and lets make a change in this world for good !

The poor deserve a developmental chance; the first step is to relieve them of their hunger. Hunger causes poverty by denying its victims opportunities to enhance their lives. It debilitates people physically, physiologically and psychologically. Those who are weakened by hunger find themselves trapped in a vicious cycle of hunger-poverty-hunger.

Once a household falls into the hunger trap, escape is difficult even if an improved overall economic environment offers new opportunities. Hunger and poverty are thus assured for future generations.

The world's hungry poor need help to break out of this vicious cycle and enter main-stream development for self-reliant growth. For many, this help is most useful when it comes in the form of well-targeted food assistance. Such assistance is an investment in the future.

Can the hungry poor benefit from education programmes? Not likely.

Little girls, who must contribute to the struggle to provide food for the family, do not go to school, and hungry listless children do not learn well even if they do go to school. Hungry children cannot concentrate and assimilate knowledge. Thus, hunger robs children of the benefits of education. It seals their poverty well into adulthood and beyond.

'Good food makes the children not only concentrate on studies, it also improves their health. Educated and healthy children will lead to a healthy and knowledgeable society'
