General - Giving of some gifts and their returns to us

During our life without our consciously thinking or thinking in a different way (like having something which is useless o us and is occupying place and gathering dust) we give something to others. Sometimes we give consciously like giving some money to a beggar or a poor person some food etc. Let us have look at what the scriptures say about our giving gifts or complements or daana.

Item given as Daan                       Benefits to us

Blankets                           help to get relief from paralytical and rheumatic troubles

Clothing                           Help us to longevity

Food                               Will fulfill our desires

Goose berry                    Wisdom

Honey in Bronze pot        Help to beget son

Lamps to temples             Promotions

Land                                Help us to attain Brahmalok

 Rice                                 Will help to remove the trouble from fear


 Seeds and saplings          Longevity

Thambool with fruits         Help us to go to heaven (Swarg)
(Betel leaves and nuts)

It is not that just we give something and we are going to get the benefits as above.  We should have faith in what we are doing and with a pure heart we have to offer. Every religion without exception repeatedly impress its followers that 'Yad Bhavam Thad Bhavathi' or 'Let your belief protect you'. This is not an exhaustive list of gifts and benefits. There are 100s of them. At later stages I may go on adding such information to this.
