ANNADANAM is a MAHA DANAM

Daan is an offering to God. Whenever a Dhaan is made one must thing as an offering to GOD. 

Firstly, "Daan" is the original word in Sanskrit for donation meaning selfless giving. In the list of the ten Niyamas (virtuous acts), Daan comes third. 

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna declares, annad bhavanti bhutani which means, “ From food all begins are evolved”.

Varaha Purana says, “One who gives food, gives all that is worth giving in this world”.

Food is the basic requirement for all humans. This according to Vedas, the one who does Annadanam to devotees, attains heaven (Punya Loka) in this Universe (Brahmanda) itself. In this whole universe, the creation and its progession depends on food. Hence giving food to devotees is more than attaining heaven.
