Donation/Gifting - how to determine

April 12, 2004

Dear Ramadasji, Partha, Chandrashekharji and other members,

1. How does one determine what should a person donate in his life and to whom.

2. How does one determine if donation would be good for the native ( I always feel it is good for everyone concerned

3. Which day and which time would it be most suitable to donate so that benefits are got.

4. what time should one donate to a Guru.

I presume all the same rules will apply to gifting in life. If not pls let me know. I dont know which house is the activity donation and gifting seen from.

Kindly reply.

Dear Sunil,.

Several years ago , on this list, Sanjay gave a class, with homework

for us...most of your questions would be answered in it..

now it escapes me the name of the lesson, but perhaps someone who has

all the lessons in a binder,- could look it up---or perhaps it is in

the " files " section of this list..

Karu was around, Sarajit,etc.perhaps they have it, also , i will see

if i can dig my binder out-mine is inaccessible right now-buried

under some boxes.

It was also discussed briefly at the Redwood Valley West Coast talks

from the 2002 conference.

Hopefully one of the members has the lessons handy and can name the

peticular lesson,...it was a good one, perhaps some Sanjay will

expound on it even more one day.

Take Care

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|Dear Sunil,

1st we have to see whether person will have the ability to make Daana or donation.Brihat Jataka gives some planetary combinations for Maha Daana Yogas .

1) If Bhagyadhipaty ie.,9th lord is in Paravatamsha, aspected by Guru and also if the Lagna Lord is aspected by Guru,the person gives a big donation or Maha Daana.

2) If Lagna and Lagna Lord are aspected by 9th lord and Bhagyadhipaty ( 9th lord ) is placed in Kendra or Trikona.,then also the person will make Maha Daana.

3) Daana Sthanadhipaty ie 9th lord in Simhasanamsha,and either aspected by Lagna Lord or Karma Sthanadhipaty ( 10th Lord ),then also one will make Maha Daana.

4) Bhagyadhipaty in 4th,10th lord in a kendra and Vyadhipaty ie.,12th lord is aspected by Guru,then one makes Maha Daana.

5) If Budha is exalted and aspected by Bhagyadhipaty and Labhadhipaty ie.,11th lord is in a Kendra,then also one will do Maha Daana.

Now following are considered as 10 Maha Daanas :

1) Giving of Cow with a Calf,

2) Giving of Land ( Bhudaana )

3) giving of Hiranya ie., Gold.

4) Tila Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of Sesame seeds.

5) Aajya Paatra Daana ie., a vessel used for performing Yajnas.

6) Vastra Daana ie., Giving of cloths.

7) Dhaanya Daana ie., Giving of cereals and pulses.

8) Guda Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of jaggery.

9) Giving of silver. And

10 ) giving of a vessel full of Salt.

So all of the above or any one of the above or some of the above can be given as donation to a pious Brahmin.

Now whom to be given or who is able to take the donation is also mentioned in the same Brihat Jataka.

11th lord in 11th house and Karmadhipaty ie.,10th lord strong and aspected by Bhagyadhipaty,such a person can take the donations.

Now when to give the donations ?

1) During the birth of a child.

2) During 50th anniversary of one of the parents. ( either Father or Mother ).or Both.

3) During 60th anniversary of one of the Parents or Both..

4) During 70th anniversary of one of the parents or Both..

5) During 80th Anniversary of one of the Parents or Both,

6) During 90th Anniversary of one of the parents or Both.

7) during 100th Anniversary of one of the Parents or Both.

8) During the Final Rites of one of the parents or both.

9) During any planetary afflictions and performing of sandhi Shanti Homas also one can donate the Maha Daanas.

For your information,during last year,when my father expired I donated 10 Daanas which are as per my capability.

I hope this helps you.

With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana,

Ramadas Rao.

Dear Sunil,

Read BPHS well and you will find hints of danas to be made and

when.Various Puranas also give detailed indications on which dana is to

be made to remove troubles of which planet. " Bhavishya Phala Bhaskara "

also gives elaborate details on this subject. Dana is to be made in

respect of Planets that are malefic to a jataka and are causing the

trouble he wants to overcome.

Dear Lakshman,

Thanks for the mail. It is very elaborate and nicely laid out for our understanding. I have been able to grasp few points well from it and it seems to apply in one of the charts that i referred to.

As this was sent personally to me, I am forwarding it to the list for the benefit of members.

Thanks

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Ramadasji,

I would like to clarify the following

statements made by you concerning the gifts to be bestowed, of which I quote

from the Garuda Purana:

Now when to give the donations ?

8) During the Final Rites of one of the parents or both.

When someone is on the death bed, it is better to make the

gifts before the life is extinct. A gift made when one is alive stands in good

stead, unimpeded.

It is the truth; the exact truth that the gifts made when

the sense organs are operative and when the same are approved by his son,

yields enedless benefits.

(Garuda Purana Dharma Preta Khanda Chapter

30.9-10)

For your information,during last year,when my father expired I donated 10 Daanas which are as per my capability.

He

who makes a gift of lamps either for the dead or for himself, facing East or

North, or places them in Temples or in the houses of Brahmins, will be able to

traverse the Great Path without

nay distress. (31.9-10)

By

making a gift of water jar, the thirsty shall drink water. Vessels, clothes,

flowers, rings, shall be gifted on the 11th day for the dead, to

attain the highest goal. Thus those who wish well the dead,

shall make gifts of the thirteen articles according to their

ability. The dead shall be pleased thereby. Foodstuffs, gingelly

seeds, 13 water-jars, a ring, pair of clothes, should be gifted in favour of

the dead to help him attain the highest goal. (G.P. Preta Khanda 31.12-15)

He

who makes a gift of a horse, a boat or an elephant to Brahmins will become

happy. (31.16)

He

who makes gifts of a buffalo sojourns in many worlds. A she-buffalo, the mother

of the vehicle of Yama accords benefits. (31.17)

A

gift of betel leaves together with flowers increases the delight of those who

are in Yama’s abode. Being delighted with that,

they do not harass him. (31.18)

The

man who gives according to his ability, gifts of cows, plots of land, gingelly seeds, gold, an earthern

ware jar full of water, with the dead in view, attains the fruit of the gift of

a thousand water jars. (31.19-20)

If

a person makes a gift of clothes, the awe inspiring terrible emissaries of

Yama, black and tawny in colour, do not threaten him.

(31.21)

By

making gifts of pots (full) of foodstuffs, one shall be happy in those paths

which one should otherwise have to traverse, utterly exhausted and oppressed by

thirst. (31.22)

A

bed with smooth cotton within and covered with a velvet cloth should be given

to Gods and Brahmins. With that, the dead man will be freed of ghosthood and rejoice with deities.

I hope this helps you.

With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana,

Ramadas Rao.

Donation/Gifting - how to determine

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|

Dear Sunil,

1st we have to see whether person

will have the ability to make Daana or donation.Brihat Jataka gives some

planetary combinations for Maha Daana Yogas .

1) If Bhagyadhipaty ie.,9th lord

is in Paravatamsha, aspected by Guru and also if the Lagna Lord is aspected by

Guru,the person gives a big donation or Maha Daana.

2) If Lagna and Lagna Lord are

aspected by 9th lord and Bhagyadhipaty ( 9th lord ) is placed in Kendra or Trikona.,then also the

person will make Maha Daana.

3) Daana Sthanadhipaty ie 9th lord in

Simhasanamsha,and either aspected by Lagna Lord or Karma Sthanadhipaty ( 10th

Lord ),then also one will make Maha Daana.

4) Bhagyadhipaty in 4th,10th

lord in a kendra and Vyadhipaty ie.,12th lord is

aspected by Guru,then one makes Maha Daana.

5) If Budha is exalted and

aspected by Bhagyadhipaty and Labhadhipaty ie.,11th lord is in a Kendra,then also one will do Maha Daana.

Now following are considered as 10

Maha Daanas :

1) Giving of Cow with a Calf,

2) Giving of Land ( Bhudaana )

3) giving of Hiranya ie., Gold.

4) Tila Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of Sesame

seeds.

5) Aajya Paatra Daana ie., a vessel used for

performing Yajnas.

6) Vastra Daana ie., Giving of cloths.

7) Dhaanya Daana ie., Giving of cereals and

pulses.

8) Guda Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of jaggery.

9) Giving of silver. And

10 ) giving of a vessel full of

Salt.

So all of the above or any one of

the above or some of the above can be given as donation to a pious Brahmin.

Now whom to be given or who is

able to take the donation is also mentioned in the same Brihat Jataka.

11th lord in 11th house and

Karmadhipaty ie.,10th lord strong and aspected by Bhagyadhipaty,such a person

can take the donations.

Now when to give the donations ?

1) During the birth of a child.

2) During 50th anniversary of one

of the parents. ( either Father or Mother ).or Both.

3) During 60th anniversary of one

of the Parents or Both..

4) During 70th anniversary of one

of the parents or Both..

5) During 80th Anniversary of one

of the Parents or Both,

6) During 90th Anniversary of one

of the parents or Both.

7) during 100th Anniversary of one

of the Parents or Both.

8) During the Final Rites of one

of the parents or both.

9) During any planetary

afflictions and performing of sandhi Shanti Homas also one can donate the Maha Daanas.

For your information,during last year,when my

father expired I donated 10 Daanas which are as per my capability.

I hope this helps you.

With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana,

Ramadas Rao.

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|Dear Sunil,

Paravatamsha means in a Dasa Varga group,if a planet occupies 6 Vargas,then that planet is said to be in Paravatamsha.Similary if a planet occupies in 5 Vargas,then that planet is said to be in Simasnamsha.

The Dasa Vargas are 1) Rasi Chart,2) Hora Chart,3) Drekkana Chart,4) Saptamsha Chart,5) Navamsha Chart,6) Dasamsha Chart,7) Dwadashamsha Chart,8) Shodashamsha Chart,9) Trimshamsha Chart and 10) Shastyamsha Chart.So planets in many vargas is a boon to the native as it strenghthens its benefic influence.

I hope this helps you.

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|Dear Swee,

Thanks for the additional informations quoted from Garuda Purana.

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Ramadasji,

I would like to clarify the following statements made by you concerning the gifts to be bestowed, of which I quote from the Garuda Purana:

Now when to give the donations ?

8) During the Final Rites of one of the parents or both.

When someone is on the death bed, it is better to make the gifts before the life is extinct. A gift made when one is alive stands in good stead, unimpeded.

It is the truth; the exact truth that the gifts made when the sense organs are operative and when the same are approved by his son, yields enedless benefits.

(Garuda Purana Dharma Preta Khanda Chapter 30.9-10)

For your information,during last year,when my father expired I donated 10 Daanas which are as per my capability.

He who makes a gift of lamps either for the dead or for himself, facing East or North, or places them in Temples or in the houses of Brahmins, will be able to traverse the Great Path without nay distress. (31.9-10)

By making a gift of water jar, the thirsty shall drink water. Vessels, clothes, flowers, rings, shall be gifted on the 11th day for the dead, to attain the highest goal. Thus those who wish well the dead, shall make gifts of the thirteen articles according to their ability. The dead shall be pleased thereby. Foodstuffs, gingelly seeds, 13 water-jars, a ring, pair of clothes, should be gifted in favour of the dead to help him attain the highest goal. (G.P. Preta Khanda 31.12-15)

He who makes a gift of a horse, a boat or an elephant to Brahmins will become happy. (31.16)

He who makes gifts of a buffalo sojourns in many worlds. A she-buffalo, the mother of the vehicle of Yama accords benefits. (31.17)

A gift of betel leaves together with flowers increases the delight of those who are in Yama’s abode. Being delighted with that, they do not harass him. (31.18)

The man who gives according to his ability, gifts of cows, plots of land, gingelly seeds, gold, an earthern ware jar full of water, with the dead in view, attains the fruit of the gift of a thousand water jars. (31.19-20)

If a person makes a gift of clothes, the awe inspiring terrible emissaries of Yama, black and tawny in colour, do not threaten him. (31.21)

By making gifts of pots (full) of foodstuffs, one shall be happy in those paths which one should otherwise have to traverse, utterly exhausted and oppressed by thirst. (31.22)

A bed with smooth cotton within and covered with a velvet cloth should be given to Gods and Brahmins. With that, the dead man will be freed of ghosthood and rejoice with deities.

I hope this helps you.

Ramadas Rao.

19:49vedic astrology Cc: varahamihira Subject: Re: [vedic astrology] Donation/Gifting - how to determine

` nmae naray[ay,

om namo näräyaëäya|Dear Sunil,

1st we have to see whether person will have the ability to make Daana or donation.Brihat Jataka gives some planetary combinations for Maha Daana Yogas .

1) If Bhagyadhipaty ie.,9th lord is in Paravatamsha, aspected by Guru and also if the Lagna Lord is aspected by Guru,the person gives a big donation or Maha Daana.

2) If Lagna and Lagna Lord are aspected by 9th lord and Bhagyadhipaty ( 9th lord ) is placed in Kendra or Trikona.,then also the person will make Maha Daana.

3) Daana Sthanadhipaty ie 9th lord in Simhasanamsha,and either aspected by Lagna Lord or Karma Sthanadhipaty ( 10th Lord ),then also one will make Maha Daana.

4) Bhagyadhipaty in 4th,10th lord in a kendra and Vyadhipaty ie.,12th lord is aspected by Guru,then one makes Maha Daana.

5) If Budha is exalted and aspected by Bhagyadhipaty and Labhadhipaty ie.,11th lord is in a Kendra,then also one will do Maha Daana.

Now following are considered as 10 Maha Daanas :

1) Giving of Cow with a Calf,

2) Giving of Land ( Bhudaana )

3) giving of Hiranya ie., Gold.

4) Tila Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of Sesame seeds.

5) Aajya Paatra Daana ie., a vessel used for performing Yajnas.

6) Vastra Daana ie., Giving of cloths.

7) Dhaanya Daana ie., Giving of cereals and pulses.

8) Guda Paatra Daana ie., a vessel full of jaggery.

9) Giving of silver. And

10 ) giving of a vessel full of Salt.

So all of the above or any one of the above or some of the above can be given as donation to a pious Brahmin.

Now whom to be given or who is able to take the donation is also mentioned in the same Brihat Jataka.

11th lord in 11th house and Karmadhipaty ie.,10th lord strong and aspected by Bhagyadhipaty,such a person can take the donations.

Now when to give the donations ?

1) During the birth of a child.

2) During 50th anniversary of one of the parents. ( either Father or Mother ).or Both.

3) During 60th anniversary of one of the Parents or Both..

4) During 70th anniversary of one of the parents or Both..

5) During 80th Anniversary of one of the Parents or Both,

6) During 90th Anniversary of one of the parents or Both.

7) during 100th Anniversary of one of the Parents or Both.

8) During the Final Rites of one of the parents or both.

9) During any planetary afflictions and performing of sandhi Shanti Homas also one can donate the Maha Daanas.

For your information,during last year,when my father expired I donated 10 Daanas which are as per my capability.

I hope this helps you.

With Shri Hari Vaayu Naama Smarana,

Ramadas Rao.

Dear Ramadasji, Partha, Chandrashekharji and other members,

1. How does one determine what should a person donate in his life and to whom.

2. How does one determine if donation would be good for the native ( I always feel it is good for everyone concerned

3. Which day and which time would it be most suitable to donate so that benefits are got.

4. what time should one donate to a Guru.

I presume all the same rules will apply to gifting in life. If not pls let me know. I dont know which house is the activity donation and gifting seen from.

Kindly reply.

With Blessings of the Divine Mother

Sunil John
