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? 

V K Vijayaraghavan
