The Bhojnalaya (community kitchen) at Shri Dandi Ashram is where spiritual nourishment meets physical sustenance. With a strong focus on purity and hygiene, the ashram kitchen serves satvik (wholesome and pure) meals to all residents, devotees, saints, and visiting guests. Food here is not merely cooked—it is offered with devotion and gratitude, turning every meal into prasad. The kitchen staff and volunteers prepare the meals while chanting mantras, ensuring that divine vibrations are infused into the food. Mealtimes at the ashram are moments of quiet unity, where people from different walks of life eat together in simplicity and reverence.
The Bhojnalaya operates on the timeless Vedic principle of 'Anna Daan'—the offering of food as the highest form of charity. Devotees often contribute by sponsoring meals, volunteering in preparation, or serving others. The dining hall reflects the ashram’s values of humility, equality, and community living. Eating here is not just a physical act, but a spiritual experience that grounds and elevates the soul. It is through such acts of shared nourishment that Shri Dandi Ashram fosters a deep sense of belonging and service among all.
