Importance Of Donation for Protection Of Dharma

Donating money to charity helps one get the blessings of those in need and at the same time fulfil one’s service to the Lord. The amount of money donated or the kind of service is of little significance. What matters are the intentions with which a donation is made. Further, donating money to temples is considered a noble act since temples are the platform where the devotees can perform their services to the Lord and come in contact with Him. Therefore, helping in building the home of the Lord can be one of the best ways in which one can contribute.

Lord Krishna is giving us an opportunity to become a part of this project. “On building a temple of Sri Madhav one can attain the eternal Vaikunthaloka” — Vamana Purana.

“Having acquired wealth and built a temple with a small portion of it, a person acquires piety and gains favors from Hari.” — Agni Purana.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam we find the following verses: “By installing the Deity of the Lord, one becomes king of the entire earth, by building a temple for the Lord, one becomes ruler of the three worlds, by worshiping and serving the deity, one goes to the planet of Lord Brahma, and by performing all three of these activities one achieves a transcendental form like My own. But one who simply engages in devotional service with no consideration of fruitive results attains Me. Thus whoever worships Me according to the process I have described will ultimately attain pure devotional service unto Me.” “Whoever constructs or helps to construct a temple will protect eight generations of father, grandfathers and forefathers from falling into Hell” – Vamana Purana.

Thank you very much. Hare Krishna.
