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?

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha.

Dear Bhagavathas,

Please accept Adiyen's Pranaams.

Refering to the subject matter, I wish express my views as follows:

Charity to any right cause makes one very happy. But before offering any help in

any form including donation of money, it is necessary to get the full details of

the Aim for which the donation is raised, the actual scheme of operation of the

Trust or the like for which the donation is accepted etc without any doubt. Once

we R convinced of the worthiness of the purpose and genuinness of the donations

being raised, we can donate any amount which we can offer willingly and within

our reasonable means. There is no need to worry abt how it will be viewed by the

party which accepts the donation.

Where possible, we may keep in touch with the services rendered by donations

raised. If V R satisfied with the services, V can always continue to donate and

encourage such works to be continued.

Adiyen
