Sanatan Dharma Donations: Donation of grains, clothes, cows and… these things in the temple is very impressive!

Sanatan Dharma Donations: We always donate after puja or any other religious ritual. Donation has been given special importance in Sanatan Dharma. Donating is considered a noble, voluntary, grateful and spiritual act of dedication. It is said in the scriptures that donating purifies the mind and after death the soul attains salvation.

It is said in very sacred texts like Bhagavad Gita that donating with devotion and humility brings happiness and prosperity in life. In Sanatan Dharma, great virtue is achieved by donating some special things. Donating these things is considered more effective than donating money in the temple. Let us know about these things in detail.

Donate these things in the temple

Cereal: Donation of food has been described as very powerful and influential in Sanatan Dharma. Food is the best form of donation. Rice, grains, pulses or cooked food should be donated to the temple. This provides spiritual and physical nourishment. True prosperity comes only from feeding people.

Clothes: Donating clothes in temples is also very auspicious. Donating clothes is considered necessary from both spiritual and social point of view. With this donation, the body of the needy is covered with respect. Donating new or light old clothes is also necessary to give up the feeling of ego, pride and show off.

Lamps, oil or ghee: Ghee or oil is also donated for lamps in temples. Diya is a symbol of awareness and victory over darkness. After donating mustard oil, sesame oil or pure cow ghee in the temple and lighting a lamp in the temple, confusion and negative thoughts are reduced.

Cow: Cow rearing has special importance in many temples. Especially in the temples of Lord Krishna and Shiva. Donating cow, fodder, green grass and grains for rearing in the cow shed of the temple is considered very auspicious.

Timings and Service: According to the scriptures, donation of time and service in the temple is a very powerful donation. Unlike money or material goods, time does not come back. Ego is destroyed by serving in the temple.
