The Kamakhya Bhairava Upasaka Foundation (KBUF) has been organizing annadāna-sevā in various cities — from Kāśī to Coimbatore — as part of its dhārmic activities. For over a year now, annadāna has been offered every month on Aṣṭamī, Ṣaṣṭhī, Amāvasyā, and Paurṇimā tithi-s across different veda-pāṭhaśālā-s. This is carried out with the saṅkalpa of devatā-prīti — to please the devatā-s we worship — and also as a sacred act of seeking forgiveness for any lapses in sādhana, committed knowingly or unknowingly.

With the recent sevā-s at Tārāpīṭha, KBUF has expanded its annadāna to reach more cities and serve more people in need. Till now, programs have been conducted in Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Kolkata, Bangalore, Dibrugarh, Jalandhar, Kāśī, Jammu, Guwhati, Hubli, Coimbatore, Tarapith etc with more cities being added soon. In Chennai, we recently conducted a 60-day continuous annadāna program. For Pitrupaksh that finished this year before the navarathras – we did annadanam seva at various patashalas every day.

These efforts are carried forward by dedicated KBUF volunteers across cities. In the coming year, along with the commencement of the temple project, the Annadāna program will be further expanded to new places.
