Donate
The duty of brāhmaṇas, ṛṣis and sādhus is to live austerely, practice self-control, beg for alms, and spread spiritual knowledge free from all forms of material motivation and contamination.
As sādhus, we are solely dependent on donations for our livelihood. Please support us in uplifting society, while earning the highest merit.
Methods of Contribution
Donating to brāhmaṇas, sādhus, etc is the highest form of charity.
Charity given out of duty, without expectation of return, at the proper time and place, and to a worthy person is considered to be in the mode of goodness. – Bhagavad Gītā – 17.20
In the Vedic literature, charity given to a person engaged in spiritual activities is recommended. There is no recommendation for giving charity indiscriminately. Spiritual perfection is always a consideration. Therefore charity is recommended to be given at a place of pilgrimage and at lunar or solar eclipses or at the end of the month or to a qualified brāhmaṇa or a Vaiṣṇava (devotee) or in temples. Such charities should be given without any consideration of return. – Commentary by Śrila Prabhupāda.
