Importance of Donation<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donation is considered an important means of virtue in Hinduism. Donation not only helps the needy, but the person donating also becomes religiously and spiritually rich. Donation means offering your wealth, time and energy for the benefit of others. In the Sanatan tradition, donation<\/strong><\/a> is also considered a means of spiritual advancement.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The importance of donation has also been shown in the Vedas. Mentioning donation in the Taittiriya Upanishad, it has been said-<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“<\/em><\/strong>\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0926\u094d\u0927\u092f\u093e<\/em><\/strong> \u0926\u0947\u092f\u0902<\/em><\/strong>, <\/em><\/strong>\u0905\u0936\u094d\u0930\u0926\u094d\u0927\u092f\u093e<\/em><\/strong> \u0905\u0926\u0947\u092f\u092e\u094d<\/em><\/strong>”\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“Shraddhaya deyam, ashradhaya adeyam”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is, donation should always be done with full devotion and emotion, not without devotion.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Donation not only makes our material life meaningful, but also paves the way to salvation by purifying the soul. Therefore, mentioning donation, Goswami Tulsidas ji has said-<\/p>\n
