Pidi Arisi Thittam

"Annam Atma Paripalanam" - Food nourishes the soul. In Sanatana Dharma, the term annam is used for the English term 'food', but not as an equivalent. The term annam denotes and connotes physical and spiritual ramifications. Annam is not just something which is input to stomach and digested, but it includes everything that is ingested by the ten senses and the mind.

"Pidi Arisi Thittam"- established in 2010, refers to an initiative practiced in some parts of Tamil Nadu, India. The phrase translates to ''Fistful of Rice Scheme'' This traditional practice involves households setting aside a fistful of rice each day before cooking. The collected rice is then donated to a common pool, which is used to help those in need, such as providing food for the hungry or
supporting community events.
