Food Feeding from Tiruvannamalai
The upcoming Full Moon on Oct. 24th has been identified by sages as a power time to remove your life challenges. During this once-a-year ceremony to Lord Shiva, an entire Shiva Lingam at power spot is anointed with a large quantity of cooked rice as a supreme offering. The life-sustaining energy and life-nourishing qualities of rice invoke the power of Lord Shiva to be fully embodied in the Shiva Lingam, a symbol of his energy and power.
Performing Rice-Abishekam (Cooked Rice Hydration Pooja) to Lord Shiva on this day can absolve the bad karma of your previous births and purify the karma of your current life. It is believed that participating in this sacred ritual can help you lead a happy, trouble-free and fulfilling life.
This grand rice anointing ceremony is performed as an expression of gratitude to Lord Shiva – the sole protector of the five elements of nature and all forms of life on Earth. Lord Shiva, a great lover of Abishekam (hydration ceremony) is usually bathed with 11 sacred items, of which cooked rice hydration is his most favored.
Furthermore, rice is an outcome of the union of the five elements of nature. Rice emerges from the seed which is sown in the land which is nourished by water from the space, fire from the Sun and transforms as paddy with the help of wind- and this rice is fed to all living entities. This gives more significance to the supreme ritual of Anna Abishekam to Shiva– the universal protector.

The easiest way to access God’s grace is to feed a person who is starving. Donating food is considered to be the greatest charity of all the charities. According to scriptures, feeding the poor and needy is the highest of all charities. Donating food on a Full Moon is considered to be an important ritual for attaining merit. Donating food to people can free you from problems and provide success in all walks of life. As you participate in food feeding services to people, you can attract positive energy and peace of mind.
