Growing an abundance of food and sharing it in plenty, annabahulya and annadana, have always constituted the essence of dharmika living for us. Annabahulya and annadana are in fact at the foundation of dharma; all else, even the search for moksa is built on this foundation.
This book by Dr JK Bajaj & M.D. Srinivas is a recollection of this great Indian tradition of abundance and sharing. Based on the highly regarded texts of Indian civilisational identity, the srutis, itihasas, puranas, and dharmasastras, the book presents a compelling glimpse of the intensity with which Indians have thought about annabahulya and annadana. And, in the process it offers a fresh understanding of the essence of Indian civilization.
