medicine. Money is needed for everything, but a donation of money
for gyan daan is
the highest.
How Much To Donate To Charity?
A 'surplus' is when you give and
you do not have to worry about it the next day. Only give if you think
that you will not encounter any financial difficulties for the
following six months or so, otherwise do not give.
Donate whatever excess
money you have towards a charitable cause because the money that is sitting in
the bank
will be of no benefit to you. If you donate your money you will not
encounter any obstacles; if you give it to charity, it will be credited to your account (karmic account).
