Some, who participated in the
Anna-Vastra distribution, had this to say:
“It was more fulfilling
in being able to offer our oblations in a huge holy
Yajna than the satisfaction of making some charity
to the poor.”

“The recipients came after
taking bath, putting tilak on their forehead,
in a devotional mood. The
feeling was one of holiness – more like receiving
prasaada than a gift.”
*
* *
“This daana is a benediction
for my welfare, rather than a mere material help.”
*
* *
“The atmosphere,
reverberating with the fervent naama-sankeertana and
the inspiring hymns on daana-dharma, was so much
charged with divinity that a number of onlookers
expressed that they too, though not needy, would
like to receive the anna-vastra daana from the
Sannyasins.”
