Donations to the temple
Giving is the only way to reach God. When we honor God with our gifts, we acknowledge that he has everything we need and has promised to take care of us.
God never abandons His devotees, so He is called Achyuta. But the Lord is glad when we not only serve Him humbly but also serve His devotees with zest. He who serves His devotees endears himself to Him.

Temples In The Ancient Time:
In ancient times, the kings who ruled the kingdoms provided money for the temple. Provides funding for temple maintenance, staff salaries, and other needs. Some land was also allotted for this purpose. They took all the necessary steps for the maintenance of the temples. But never looked for income from the temple. Did not interfere in the management of the temple. The entire management of the temple was under the control of charitable organizations.
But, the current situation is not like that. Governments are running on revenue from the temple. And, the government is in charge of the management of the temple! Governments are giving temple management positions to the politically unemployed belonging to their party and appeasing them.
This policy needs to change. Until then, think before you put your gifts in the hundi when you go to the temple. If the same money is donated to the poor at least the virtue comes. Because human service is Madhava service. It is better to support the poor than to feed corrupt political parties.
In my view, do not put money in the temple hundi which is under the purview of the revenue department. Give the same money to the poor or donate to inns. Use it for things that are good for the community.
Here is a clear explanation.
Donating to a temple is a common practice across many faiths, often viewed as a way to express gratitude, support religious institutions, and accumulate positive karma. Donations can help maintain temple premises, fund religious activities, support community services, and provide resources for those in need. The act of giving is also seen as a way to cultivate positive qualities like compassion and humility.
Donating to a temple is an age-old tradition that holds significant spiritual meaning. At Temple, donations serve as an act of devotion and a way to contribute to the upkeep and growth of the temple. But beyond the material contribution, temple donations are seen as a spiritual way to give back to the divine that brings blessings, harmony, and a sense of community. In this blog, we explore why giving to temples, especially to Hari Hara Kshetram, is a meaningful way to connect with the holy and grow your spiritual path.
