Food Crisis and Service of Dasoha

In the year 1966, the country was seriously suffering from shortage of food grains due to drought. Poor people came to Math in hope that they will get a square meal for the survival. Sree Swamiji realizing the plight of the poor, determined to feed them at any cost. He would starve himself, and see none would go without a meal. Let entire stock of food grains be spent to feed all those who came with hope and expectations, and in search of food. At this juncture, Sree Swamiji himself stood in the kitchen, prepared food with the assistance of his followers. He would feel immensely happy when all went with a satisfied meal. Realizing this, the Karnataka Government enhanced the food grains quota to Math. So it was virtually a magical situation then and also now. It is Sree Swamiji's labour of love and in the religious parlance what is called "WORK IS WORSHIP" made all this difference.
