It is to meet the needs of the deserving that the worthy labor arduously to acquire wealth.\u201d Even the poorest Hindu practices charity according to his means. In this unselfish tradition, guests are treated as God. Friends, acquaintances, even strangers, are humbled by the overwhelming hospitality received. We share with the less fortunate. We care for the aged. We honor sw\u0101m\u012bs, with gifts of food, money and clothes. We encourage the spirit of helping and giving, called d\u0101na, within the family, between families and their monastic and priestly communities. Many devout Hindus take the da\u015bama bh\u0101ga vrata, a vow to pay ten percent of their income each month to an institution of their choice to perpetuate San\u0101tana Dharma. This centuries-old tithing practice is called da\u015bam\u0101\u1e41\u015ba. The Vedas wisely warn, \u201cThe powerful man should give to one in straits; let him consider the road that lies ahead! Riches revolve just like a chariot\u2019s wheels, coming to one man now, then to another.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Hindu Outlook on Giving? \u015aLOKA 90Generous, selfless giving is among dharma\u2019s central fulfillments.
