Annapurna is the goddess of food and nourishment. She is a form of Parvati, the inseparable shakti of Lord Shiva. The first part of her name, anna, is translated as “food” and “grains,” and the second, purna, means “full” or “complete.” Annapurna Devi holds in one hand a jeweled bowl full of grains and in the other a golden ladle, symbolizing the abundant nourishment she gives to all. She is the Mother Goddess, the sustainer of all life. The Annapurna Stotram is an exquisite hymn in praise of the goddess.

This hymn was written by Adi Shankaracharya, a greatly respected philosopher and theologian who lived in India in the early 8th century and consolidated the doctrine of Advaita Vedanta, on which many of the Siddha Yoga teachings are based. I work in the food service industry.

Every workday, as part of my morning practice, I include the reading of the Annapurna Stotram. It inspires me to cook for others with a focus toward nourishing instead of simply feeding. Each time I read the words 'Be gracious to me and grant me your blessings,' I imagine myself preparing food in Annapurna’s blessed company. I see now that it is so much more sweeter to repeat that line by singing it aloud instead. What a sweet chant this is! A Siddha Yogi from New York, United States. I decided to invoke Annapurna, the Goddess of food and nourishment, as I work on my conscious eating. I pray for her support and listen to the Annapurna Stotram before and during meal time.

I have been noticing a shift in my appetite and digestion. My awareness around what, how, and when I eat has also increased. I am so very grateful to Gurumayi for creating the Siddha Yoga path website.

I am especially grateful for the Hymns and Aratis page, which I visit several times a day to do my practices. Thank you so much, Gurumayi, for changing my life! A Siddha Yogi from California, USA. Nowadays I sing this Annapurna Stotram every day. Practicing this hymn, and regularly contemplating its meaning, make my connection with my Self more expansive and more constant. I feel the nourishment and compassion of the divine energy within me.

When I finish singing, I remember and perceive the bliss, quietness, and sufficiency of the divine light and sound. Thank you so much, Gurumayi, for giving me this powerful tool.

Thank you for your generous and compassionate guidance and love. A Siddha Yogi from Mexico City, Mexico. This hymn has such power for me. When I read it for the first time, I could sense the presence of the goddess within me—I could see her seated in the lotus position, with a beautiful bright green shawl around her neck. After I finished reading the hymn, I felt the goddess convey to me that the reason for my recent difficulties lies in my ego, rather than my outer circumstances.
