       Goddess Annapoorna is the goddess of food. Anna means ‘Annam’ that is food and ‘Poorna’ means full and complete; together the name Annapoorna implies nourishing with food to the fullest. Food is one of the basic requirements in life of lives, and it is no wonder that we say 'Annam Brahma', food is God. Mata Annapoorna is avatar of Goddess Parvati who is the wife of Lord Shiva.

        Do not waste food; 'Annam Brahma', Food is God. You can eat till your hunger is appeased. There is nothing wrong in it. There are many who are starving. There are many who do not have enough food to eat. Therefore, you should not waste food. It is a sin to waste it.


        Chant this sloka daily to get blessings of Goddess Annapoorna for getting food and water without any disturbance till the end of the life. Chant this sloka before taking food also.
