annam bahu kurvita annam na nindayāt tat vratam || Let us create and share food. Let all hungry stomachs be fulfilled with food. Let us not waste food. No place you can drop food where there is no hunger (either outside or inside). That is being authentic with food.

MAHESHWAR PUJA
OFFERING FOOD TO THE Divine for departed souls
Maheshwara Puja is the process prescribed in the Vedic tradition for completing with departed souls. Offered to Sannyasis and Brahmacharis in the path of Sannyas, in this puja the Sannyasis are treated as Lord Shiva Himself and are offered bhiksha and fed. Maheshwara Puja is the oldest recorded ritual prevalent even today in the Vedic tradition. In the Maheshwara Puja, THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Himself receives the puja and receives the naivedhya bhiksha – the sacred food offering.
