Annadanam or Maha Prasadam
Sri Shirdi Sai Baba and Bhagawan Sri Golagamudi Venkaiah Swamy encouraged Annadanam but are also considered as Annadana Prabhus. Annadanam is considered the highest form of charity. Anna Dāna is considered extremely pious and fulfilling because it is the only Dāna in which the recipient says "enough" or "not anymore."
SSVM serves Maha Prasadam (food) every day, to all devotees on a regular basis free of cost.
The Maha Prasadam may be sponsored by Mandir or devotees may bring cooked Prasadam to offer deities which is later distributed. Alternatively, devotees may also donate funds voluntarily towards Maha Prasadam for preparing at the Mandir.
