Cost of one wholesome meal

When a family below the poverty line is guaranteed one hot meal for every member, that is one less expense — savings that flow to medicine, education and dignity. Subhojanam is run under Touchstone Charities, an initiative of Hare Krishna Movement Visakhapatnam.

CSR Initiative · Food Security

Annadaan — The Highest Charity

The scriptures glorify Anna Daan — the donation of food — as the highest of all charities, for food sustains life itself. Every plate is cooked with devotion in hygienic kitchens, offered to the Lord, and served with love and dignity.

Where Your Support Goes

Daily prasadam at the temple

500+ plates every day

Festival mahaprasadam (Janmashtami, Ratha Yatra & more)

5,000+ plates per festival

Gita Jayanti & special occasions

2,000+ plates per occasion

Emergency & community feeding drives

Regular, as need arises

Our goal: to grow Anna Daan into a daily city-wide feeding network so that no one in Visakhapatnam sleeps hungry — and your CSR partnership is what makes that possible.

CSR Initiative · Cow Protection

Gau Seva — Caring for Gau Mata

In Vedic culture the cow is honoured as Gau Mata — a mother who gives her milk and everything else in service of humanity. The scriptures glorify cow protection (go-raksha) as one of the most meritorious of all services, pleasing Lord Krishna who Himself served cows as a cowherd boy in Vrindavana.

Our goshala provides fresh fodder, clean water, green grass, regular veterinary check-ups, medicines and loving shelter for the cows in our care — 365 days a year.

Bhagavad-Gita As It Is

Gita Daan — The Gift of Knowledge

Srila Prabhupada called the Bhagavad Gita “the essence of India's spiritual wisdom.” Through Gita Daan we place Bhagavad-Gita As It Is into the hands of students, prisoners, hostel dwellers and sincere seekers — a seed of transcendental knowledge that can transform a life forever.

Cost: ₹250 places one full edition of Bhagavad-Gita As It Is in a seeker's hands. Corporates can sponsor Gita marathon drives across schools and colleges in Andhra Pradesh.

Real Stories

Voices of Gratitude

When my mother was admitted at KGH, we couldn't afford both food and medicine. The Subhojanam meals were a blessing from God.
RRamesh K.Patient Attendant · KGH Visakhapatnam
The prasadam from this temple is truly special — you can taste the love it is cooked with. I am proud to contribute every month knowing someone is fed because of it.
LLakshmi NarayanaMonthly Donor · Visakhapatnam
I donated medicines for the cows in my late father's name. The goshala team sent a photo of the cows with his name in the sankalpa. It felt like he was still serving Krishna.

I was going through the darkest period of my life when someone handed me a copy of the Gita. That single book changed everything.
