Annapurna stotram/ Ashtakam, the sacred way to get food

Annapurna stotram is a precious and miraculous hymn created by religious reformer and monastic Sri Adi Shankaracharya. This hymn is a key to obtain food daily even in this modern time. As per Hindu philosophy Lord Shiv, who is also known in the names Shankara, Lokanath, Bhootnath and in so many names, daily approaches to Mata Annapurna and begs her for food of the day. The mother Goddess serves Him three spoons of the food, which actually provides food to the three ‘Puras’, the Swarga (heaven), Martya (Earth) and the ‘Patala’. All the creatures including human being get fed from this foodstuff.

In this Kali Yug also if someone is not getting food despite several efforts to eat daily, he should chant this precious ‘Annapurna Stotram’ or ‘Annapurna Ashtakam’ with great belief and devotion with the Goddess and Lord Shiva. One can feel the miraculous and amazing effect of the ‘mantra’ when he will start getting food.
