Swamiye saranam ayyappa

Ayyappa Pooja is a sacred ritual performed to seek the blessings of Lord Ayyappa, the embodiment of dharma and divine energy. Devotees offer Abhishekam, Archana, and Neyyabhishekam, chanting his holy names and hymns like Harivarasanam. Special poojas such as Padipooja and Mandala Pooja hold great spiritual significance, symbolizing devotion, discipline, and inner transformation. Performing Ayyappa Pooja with faith is believed to remove obstacles, bring prosperity, and lead devotees toward spiritual enlightenment.

Ayyappa Swamy Annadanam

Annadanam, the offering of free food, is considered one of the highest forms of service to Lord Ayyappa. It signifies selfless devotion and ensures that no devotee or needy person goes hungry. Many Ayyappa temples, including Sabarimala, conduct Annadanam as a sacred ritual, where thousands of devotees receive prasadam daily. Donating or participating in Annadanam is believed to bring divine blessings, prosperity, and spiritual merit to the devotee.
