CHARITY
According to Hindu Mythology we can do two things with wealth.
1) Give Charity ie Daan.
2) Spend on one’s own self & family members ie Bhog.
If we do not spend money on our selves or we do not give charity to poor ,the wealth gets automatically destroyed ie Vinaash. The importance of Charity is also mentioned in Quran Shariff.Therefore every Muslim is asked to give Zakat which is 10% of the wealth owned by him. To explain the importance of Charity from health point of view I am first elucidating on the planets & zodic signs.
As we all know there are 12 planets. However according to Hindu Vedic Astrology only 9 planets are given importance ie Uranus , Neptune, Pluto are not Considered.
The nine planets are :-
Mars
Venus
Mercury
Moon – moon is a setelite but it is considered a Graha
Sun
Jupiter
Saturn
Rahu- not a planet but considered as a Graha in Hindu Vedic astrology
Ketu- same as above
Except for Rahu & Ketu the rest of the 7 Graha’s govern the 12 Signs(Rashi) of the Zodiac Sign
LORD OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS
Aries Mars ( Mangal)
Taurus Venus ( Shukar)
Gemini Mercury ( Budh)
Cancer Moon
Leo Sun
Virgo Mercury
Libra Venus
Scorpio Mars
Sagitarius Jupiter (Brahaspati)
Capricorn Saturn ( Shani)
Aquarius Saturn
Pisces Jupiter
The 7 Grahas also govern the 7 days of a week.
DAY lORD OF THE DAY
Sunday ………. Sun
Monday ………. Moon
Tuesday ……….Mars
Wednesday…… Mercury
Thursday ……….. Jupiter
Friday …………… Venus
Saturday…………. Saturn
Each of the 9 planets owns a metal, gem & colour.
PLANET , METAL , GEM & COLOUR
Sun ……. Gold , Ruby & Red
Moon ….. Silver , Pearl & White
Mars…… Copper, Coarl & Red
Mercury…. Bronze, Emrald & Green
Jupiter….. Gold , Yellow Sapphire & Yellow
Venus….. Silver , Diamond & White
Saturn…. Iron , Blue Sapphire & Black
Rahu…… mixed metal , Gomedh & Black
Ketu……. ——— , Cat eye & Brown
These Graha’s not only influence the career, financial , social & family aspects of an individual but also the health of an individual.Each Graha influences some parts of body for example Sun affects Heart , Stomach , Liver etc . Moon influences human Brain. Therefore depending upon the placement of Planets in an individuals Horoscope & the transition of Planets in the space the health of an individual gets affected. The individual can reduce or avoid the ill effects of planets by 3 ways .
1) By reciting mantras of the planet which is afflicted.
2) By wearing stones on the body of the associated planet.
3) By giving charity .
For Instance a person with heart problem can reduce his sufferings by feeding Jaggery to cows . When Sun is weak the person generally suffers from heart problems. Therefore to reduce the sufferings one should distribute food items which are yellow , orange or redish in colour. The quantiy of Jaggery depends upon the severity of problem.Similarly individuals facing brain problem should distribute Bataasha among the poor.
In India Dr. S S Golaji has treated lakhs of people by asking them to give appropriate Charity to the needy .He is only Astrologer in India who has combined Astrology , Ayurveda & Charity together to treat people.
Hello,
This is no explanation. Now let me tell you that in both Business and barter there is an exchange. Very similarly charity with expectations is like a barter or business.
As per GITA charity has to be satwik, and that is, that which is done at the proper time, at the proper place, without any expectations.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT A PHYSICS EXPERIMENT, IF A BURNING CANDLE IS PLACED BETWEEN TWO MIRRORS WHICH ARE PLACED FACING EACH OTHER & ON SAME HEIGHT THAN YOU CAN SEE INFINITIVE NUMBER OF IMAGES OF THE BURNING CANDLE IN THE MIRROS. IN A SIMILAR WAY ONE ARTICLE CAN CAN HAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT RIVIEWS & OPINIONS BECAUSE IT SAID THAT IN HINDI ” jitnae dimaag utnae math ” MUNDAE MUNDAE MATIR BHINNA ….as many brains as many views . So there is no point in arguing .
IT IS KALYUG & NOT SATYUG OR DUPARYUG……IN KALYUG PEOPLE WILL DONATE BUT NOT WITHOUT ANY INTENTION……WHAT ABOUT YOUR FRIEND WHO HAS DONATED LAND FOR HOSPITAL ? WHY HE HAS DONATED THE LAND ?
Daan should be given but it should be given with the care that it reaches to the person in need.
The virtue lies in the struggle, not the prize.

charity for a good cause is always a welcome thought ..it aldds to ur good KARMA…interesting topic to share with dear ….
It is a nice blogpost. Thank you for taking up so much of trouble to gather the informations and publish them under a single post. I had been benefitted to know the values of charity. Actually, I never thought it that way until now. Your post is my eyeopener.
Hello,
Are you suggesting that we will have to abandon Bhagavad GITA, because that is not for KALYUG. If so then what you say is fine.
Let people donate, but it is not charity if something is expected in return. It is only BUSNESS or BARTER.
As far as my CEO’s father is concerned, he had donated as he did not want it. It was Satwik Charity as he did in the proper place as that place did not have a hospital, he did it at the proper time as a hospital was desperately needed and did not have any expectations. He is very much alive now and living a very frugal life.

Hello,
Charity as I understand, is that which one shares without expecting anything in return.
Anything that which is distributed from ones wealth out of selfish motives will never have the desired effect. Ultimately the so-called charity is out of compulsion rather than out of willingness to share.

I do not think there is any one who donates money or any thing without any reason. It could be a spiritual reason or social reason or it may be because there is no body in the family who can use the wealth. I have seen people who have donates their lands to trust because they do not have children who can make use of the wealth but any ways CHARITY IS CHARITY ….DAAN DAAN HI HOTA HAI….WHAT EVER THE REASON MAY BE
Hello,
This is something which my own CEOs father had done. He had vast tracts of land in Thanjavur, was a successful lawyer who had 2 sons and yet donated everything to a trust to build a hospital, there.

HE MUST HAVE DONATED HIS LAND BECAUSE EITHER HIS SONS WERE VERY CAPIPABLE & DID NOT WANT SHARE IN HIS FATHER”S PEOPERTY OR EITHER BACAUSE HIS SONS WERE USELESS THEY MIGHT LOSE HIS LAND IN CAMBLING , ALCHOHOL ETC……..ONE MAY BE THE REASON ..THAT IS WHY HE DONATED……..IR IT IS THE FIRST CASE THAN THE MAN MUST HAVE THOUGHT TO DONATE HIS LAND THINKING THAT HE WELL GET ” PUNH ” .

IN TULSI RAMAYAN IT IS WRITEN…. DAAN KARNA SHREASHT HAI . KISI BHI UDDESH SE KIYA GAYA DAAN DAAN HI HOTA HAI…..{ BHAAV , KUBHAAV , ALAK , AALAS ) YEH PRABHU KE HAATH MEI HAI KI WOH KIS DAAN KO SHREAHT MAANTAE HAI……..
REGARDING YOUR CEA”S FATHER IT IS NOT A SATVIK CHARITY BECAUSE A SATVIK CHARITY IS ONE THAT NO ONE SHOULD ABOUT IT….( EVEN THE LEFT HAND SHOULD NOT KNOW THAT WHAT RIGHT HAND HAS GIVEN IN CHARITY )
Hello,
As per gita and quote
“Karmanye Vadikarshcha Ma Paleshu Kadachana”
Do your duty and do not expect any results.
Charity is one of the duties which any individual in this world has to perform. It can be in any form, Physical, mental, monetarily etc.
As regards the Satwik charity, if the left hand comes to know of the work done by the right hand through some other source and not from the right hand itself, then the right hand cannot take responsibility for the same.
