[va] Respected Rafal Ji- Querry about Gifts--TO Shri DAKSHINAMOORTHYJEE -20/7

[Guest guest]

Sri Dakshinamurty ji

 

a good post again esp the last part is true apathra daana is not welcomed in

shastras and Bhagavad geetha also says that a good act done by accident will not

give one the Punya.

 

but acts with a clear direction, intent, devotion will surely give it

 

and unintended acts of omission, hurt, insult etc will add to papa account

easier so one has to do whatever good with full open mind and heart and for papa

it is too easy to add to it neglivengec, indifference, ignorace all will pile

on.

 

else why so may rich suffer despite all they have, it is the way they make it,

use it wil matter

 

what did veerappan, phoolan devi gain if one compares such acts withValmikis or

Pundalik these two turned into saints by their action of dharma they brough

about from the past igonrace , indifferent ways. the first named tow only

plundered people did some charity and yet died a miserable death.

 

Best wishes

Dear Shri. Akash:

 

Generally, you can gift the grain ruled by the planet occupying the

12th house to minimize losses pertaining to that planet. You can do

that in a temple or for a charitable institution.

 

Generally, performing " annadhaanam " strengthens the effects of Moon,

and gifting to Government Relief Funds or for disaster managements

will strengthen the effects of Sun. Gifting a small portion of land

for installation of Snake Deity shrines can remove the ill-effects of

Rahu(Kaavus in kerala were mainly created for this purpose). Donating

to " samaraadhana " of saints or for Pournami/ Amavasya samaradhanas in

any vedic paatasalaa near your place, or giving " Bikshaavandanam " to

yathis (ascetics who Head Mutts of various denominations) will cover

for the effects of Ketu in the 12th.

 

While performing all these, the main attitude should be that of a

passive and unconditional reverence, i.e. though we are performing

the charity as indicated by the horoscope and to minimize our losses

that might accrue due to those planets, the attitude while performing

that act of charity should be one of pure Devotion without any

expectation.

 

It is an unwritten rule in occult " The less you desire the more you

deserve and get! " It may seem illogical - but this is the truth!

Try this out yourselves. I have personally experienced this in my

life - when I donate a large chunk of my earning to charitable

institutions or for vaidik purposes to support yagnas that are

becoming a rarity, I have always found that the money reverts back so

fast in the form of people remitting money to me sometimes even just

as a gift for earlier predictions that were realized completely-

though that was not my intention while giving the charity.

 

Any person who allots at least 3 percent of his/ her earnings

(astrologers, spiritual trainers/ those who give discourses, etc.

should allot a higher percentage; while earning, you should keep up

your professional standard high; but what you earn you should spend

happily for worthy causes) will definitely neutralize a large chunk

of karma.

 

Another important ethic in this charitable spendings - some people

say that they donate a portion of the amount that they happen to

receive as bribes or some gifts that are nearly bribes to charitable

institutions. Though this Robinhood technique looks impressive,

actually it can have severe karmic backlashes.

 

What I am about to write is a free form of thought, and may not seem

relevant to everyone.... Those who are still interested may read

on.....but the astrological and main dharmic angle is over with the

previous paragraph... .what I am going to write from now on to the end

of this post is more from a practical ethics point of view......

 

I will explain this with the discourse that Lord Krishna gave to the

Pandava brothers when they were in the forest. Immediately after the

Raajasooya Yagna, the Paandavaas had suffered a negative turn of luck

and they were wondering as to why such a Fate overtook them. Was not

such a glorious Yagna meant to protect their interests? Lord Krishna

explained that as the Yagna was conducted with the money got by

extortion, the yagna's fruits had given both positive and negative

karmic influences. They were experiencing the negative now, and

after the exhaustion of this karma, they will enjoy their kingdom

unopposed in any way whatsoever.

 

The background for Lord Krishna's uttering is this.....Arjuna had

made a visit to various kingdoms and those kings had parted with the

money only out of fear upon the Great Pandava Warrior and without any

intention to give it for charity; again there were kings who had been

defeated and whose property had been appropriated by force. In a

way, that was kshatriya Dharma and Pandavas will enjoy the protection

enjoined by that dharma; but still the money got by such forceful

means being used for charity had taken away the goodluck of the

Pandavas! That is why Dharma shastra is " sookshma " and has to be

understood in its subtlety. Sometimes spiritual persons who first

begin a sadhana start experiencing very terrible happenings in their

lives; that is because the latent negative karmas are being burnt up

speedily in bulk and the side-effects are felt terribly in life.

Once this is over, things will change for the better; unfortunately

most inexperienced persons get demoralized by the initial reactions.

 

The life of a Dharmic person starts with challenges and ends with

stability and contentment. The life of a person who goes against

Dharma starts with flourish and ends in infamy and simmering

discontent to the soul towards the end of life.

 

So, we should all donate to some charity within our capacity whole-

heartedly and FROM OUR HARD EARNED MONEY - with happiness that God

has given us the opportunity to put our hard-earned resources to good

use, and this is verily a yagna in Divine Honour (Itham na mama -

This is not mine; This was given by the God and is being returned

according to Divine Providence).

 

A scholar living in poverty is a shame on his knowledge. Money

should be earned with diligence and with honesty. Earn money with

dignity - but do not mix business with charity; spend the money thus

earned happily for good purposes and a portion of that to charity.

This is a Dharmic way of life.

 

Unsolicited alms and undeserving concessions will lower the dignity

of whatever field you are in, and that is not dharma.

 

Blessed be.

Pandit R.DAKSHINAMOORTHI.
