where would you say is the best place to donate your dasvand? would you say its best to donate to Khalsa aid or other sikh charities or to charities that work in the poorest places in the world? eg. oxfam/unicefs Africa projects?

wjkk wjkp we had this discussuon at a camp in london we concluded that we should spread the donations to various ppl, and also give to visitng raagi jathas as they will send it back to therefamilies in punjab where more money is needed

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

I've been giving mine to the people who need it the most: homeless people in your cities, child poverty and starvation in africa... they need the money much more than any granthi.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

From what I've been told by much wiser Gursikhs, your Dasvandh is a TAX to the KHALSA...your Dasvandh should go to organizations that do seva for the Panth such as, Khalsa Alliance or Shahbaaz Khalsa or something. Your Dasvandh is not the end though. You can, and definately should, donate to other organizations that need the money...

also we discussed that we should try not to just donate our income but we shold also try to allocare 10% of our time as welll, was an intersting concept

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Sangat Ji, Dasvandh comes in two types, time and maya (items or money), both can be used for the wellfare of society. Such as Guru Nanak Dev Ji did by feeding the fakirs, with the money he was given and by using his own time to serve them. Dasvandh is needed everywhere all the time.

these people are in need of assitance.

soldiers who were dismissed from indian army for mutiny. they have had no assistance from Akali dal or inddian govt.

the forgotten tribes- sikligars , vanjaras wh9o are sikhs living outside of panjab in slum conditions, mainly in central india but generally all over country.

shaheed parivars who's income-earners were killed by police.

people who's livelihoods were destroyed in 84 and after. the young people who were little children in 84 are now grown up and need assistance.

anyone feel free to add to this.

Daswant means 10% of your income.

How many people thinks 10% is 1% or 0.50%?
