Guest guest Posted November 14, 1995 Report Share Posted November 14, 1995 With all due regards, I feel charitable contributions are personal. What is more important? Ramakrishna mission in Bangalore runs a home for poor students, providing boarding and lodging to college students. Some who cannot afford meals eat there. Is this less important than an offering to a temple. Raja Simhan in Madras asked money for a Vedantha patasala to train priests. I disafgreed because I would not want my kids to study vwda instead of science. Let us stick to Vaishana philosophy. Of course every doanation to a cause is one's own karma Krish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about inaddition to science? How about Veda Patam instead of the Bible, Koran, Greek, Roman, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic or Nordic myths and / or literature? If all the Hindus felt the same way then the only spiritual wisdom that would be left is the Satya Veda (another name for the Bible) or something like that. Using the same argument of Krish, we could say NO to Ramakrishna Student Home where >>Some who >>cannot afford meals eat there (at Ramakrishna Mission) Because no body wants their children to be so poor to eat food there, why support Ramakrishna Student Home!
