Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 17, Verse 20:
दातव्यमिति यद्दानं दीयतेऽनुपकारिणे |
देशे काले च पात्रे च तद्दानं सात्त्विकं स्मृतम् || 20||
dātavyam iti yad dānaṁ dīyate ‘nupakāriṇe
deśhe kāle cha pātre cha tad dānaṁ sāttvikaṁ smṛitam
Translation:
Charity given to a worthy person simply because it is right to give, without consideration of anything in return, at the proper time and in the proper place, is stated to be in the mode of goodness.
By contributing $31 or more monthly, your donation covers essential expenses like utilities, salaries, and maintenance, ensuring the temple remains a vibrant hub for spiritual and cultural activities.
