Charity

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

What do the scriptures say about charity? we hear people saying earmark 5% or10%

or 25% so on for charitable purposes? is it on the savings or total income ? One

is always put to dilemma when some one approaches for donations, be it for

temples; welfare institutions , schools, muths , Vedic schools, times of

national calamities etc . can someone say in what type of charities one can or

should participate /.

 

Parting of money is sometimes most difficult , but I have heard people saying

that even if one gives one rupee or a dollar , give it with full heart. No

problem ; the question is one feels embarrassed to give small amounts. the

recipient also sometimes looks down upon you? what is the solution?
