Annadanam: Free Food for All Participants
A core aspect of Kadthal’s activities is the tradition of Annadanam, or the sacred offering of free food to all who attend. The food is prepared and served with love by meditators and volunteers, embodying the spirit of selfless service and community that is central to the Pyramid Spiritual Societies Movement (PSSM). Annadanam not only ensures that no one goes hungry during their spiritual journey but also enhances the sense of togetherness among participants. The practice of offering food as a sacred act of sharing promotes the idea that spiritual nourishment goes hand in hand with physical sustenance. The food served is vegetarian, in alignment with PSSM’s emphasis on non-violence and mindful living.
Spiritual Workshops and Events
In addition to meditation, Kadthal hosts a variety of spiritual workshops and events throughout the year. These workshops cover a wide range of topics, including pyramid energy, spiritual science, holistic living, vegetarianism, and the science of Anapanasati Meditation. Led by experienced pyramid masters and spiritual leaders, these events are designed to deepen participants’ understanding of spiritual practices and provide practical tools for personal growth. The workshops are interactive, offering participants opportunities to ask questions, engage in discussions, and share their own spiritual experiences. Special guest speakers and global spiritual scientists are often invited to offer insights on topics related to consciousness, healing, and cosmic energy.
The annual Dhyana Maha Chakram event is one of the most significant gatherings at Kadthal, attracting thousands of meditators from around the world. This grand celebration of meditation and spirituality features daily group meditations, discourses by spiritual leaders, and workshops aimed at fostering spiritual awakening. It provides a platform for learning, personal transformation, and collective growth, offering something for everyone, regardless of where they are on their spiritual journey.
Volunteering Opportunities
For those who wish to contribute to the mission of PSSM, volunteering opportunities at Kadthal offer a fulfilling way to give back while deepening one’s own spiritual practice. Volunteers play a vital role in ensuring the smooth functioning of events and activities at Kadthal. From assisting with meditation sessions to organizing Annadanam, setting up stalls, and helping with logistics, there are numerous ways to get involved. Volunteering not only provides an opportunity to serve the community but also fosters a deeper connection with the energy of the pyramid and the principles of selflessness, mindfulness, and compassion.
Volunteers often describe their time at Kadthal as a transformative experience, as the act of serving others enhances their own spiritual growth. Whether helping with day-to-day operations or participating in major events like the Dhyana Maha Chakram, volunteers become an integral part of the spiritual fabric of Kadthal, learning valuable lessons in humility, teamwork, and devotion
