The Spirit of Adik Maas In the Hindu calendar, Adhik Maas (also known as Purushottam Maas) is a rare and sacred extra month that occurs approximately every three years. Dedicated entirely to Lord Vishnu, this month is widely regarded as the most auspicious time for spiritual purification, prayers, and acts of selfless charity (Daan).
Hindu scriptures emphasize that the spiritual merit (Punya) gained from charitable acts performed during Adhik Maas is multiplied a thousandfold. It is a time to cleanse past karmas and invite divine grace by serving those in the greatest need.
This Purushottam Maas, the Sukachi Sawali Welfare Foundation is organizing a sacred food distribution drive (Anna Daan) specifically for orphaned children. While the entire month is sacred, we have chosen the two most powerful days of the month to provide a grand, festive meal to these children, ensuring they feel loved, nourished, and celebrated.
Ekadashi holds the highest spiritual prominence in the Hindu faith, and the two Ekadashis that fall during Adhik Maas are extraordinarily rare and powerful:
Padmini Ekadashi (May 28, 2026): Falling during the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon), observing fasting or performing charity on this day brings merit equivalent to visiting all the holy pilgrimages in the world. Feeding the hungry on this day is believed to invite peace and lifelong prosperity to the donor’s family.
Parama Ekadashi (June 11, 2026): Falling during the Krishna Paksha (waning phase of the moon), Parama Ekadashi is renowned for dispelling poverty and washing away deeply rooted sins. Offering food to innocent children on this day brings supreme spiritual liberation and immense divine blessings.
To ensure we reach as many shelters and children as possible, we have established a Minimum Donation Request of ₹2,500. Consolidating donations allows us to efficiently manage logistics, secure high-quality ingredients, and maximize our reach across multiple locations on these two critical days.

1. The Nutritional Gap at Matruchaya Balak Ashram (Pune) Growing children require a steady intake of proteins, vitamins, and calories to support their rapid physical and cognitive development. Unfortunately, orphanages often operate on incredibly tight, unpredictable budgets heavily reliant on sporadic donations. This financial strain frequently forces compromises on daily food quality.
The Reality: A cost of Rs 250 per child covers an entire day of wholesome, balanced meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), ensuring they receive fresh vegetables, lentils, dairy, and a sweet treat to celebrate the festival.
The Impact: Relieving the financial burden of daily food costs allows the ashram’s administration to redirect their limited funds toward critical educational resources, medical care, and facility maintenance.
While many of us associate festivals and holy months with grand family feasts and celebrations, millions of orphaned children spend these auspicious days with empty stomachs and a longing for family. Our foundation recognizes that true devotion to the divine lies in serving the divine present in every living being.
This event goes beyond basic survival; it is about dignity and joy. By providing a special, high-quality festive meal, we are not just filling their stomachs—we are telling these children that they are cherished, remembered, and a vital part of our community.
They may not have a family to cook them a warm, festive meal, but they have you.
As we step into the divine grace of Adhik Maas, we invite you to look beyond your immediate circle and extend your love to the children who need it most. Imagine the smile on a child’s face when they receive a meal made with love, care, and the spirit of celebration. Your contribution is not just a donation; it is a manifestation of divine love. It is the protective shade—the Sukachi Sawali—that these children seek.
Let us come together to turn their hunger into happiness. Open your hearts, share your blessings, and let the immense spiritual power of Adhik Maas transform both their lives and yours.
Trust is the foundation of every successful charitable endeavor. The Sukachi Sawali Welfare Foundation operates with an ironclad commitment to accountability. When you donate to this campaign, we promise:
Zero Leakage Allocation: 100% of the funds raised for this Akshaya Tritiya drive will go directly toward procuring the food for the ashram and the garments for the street distribution. Administrative and logistical costs are handled separately by our core team.
Live Visual Proof: Donors will not be left wondering where their money went. We will share high-quality, time-stamped photos and video updates from the ashram in Pune and the streets of Mumbai, directly to your phone or email.
Financial Openness: Post-event, an exact breakdown of the funds collected, vendor receipts for the meals and clothing, and a final impact report will be made available to every contributor upon request.
These children have no safety net—**you are their hope**. By supporting Sukachi Sawali Welfare Foundation, you’re not just donating money; you’re investing in a child’s right to dream, heal, and thrive.
