When it comes to donation relating to God, donating one's mind is always the best kind, followed by donating through one's body and then wealth. If the mind is not fully surrendered to God, no one can attain Him, even if he were to donate his entire life savings ...

Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj was the very embodiment of love and compassion. Being captivated by him, aspiring devotees would unhesitatingly approach him for answers to their questions. He in turn would be so concerned and caring towards them that they would completely forget that they were conversing with such a great saint. 

This booklet is a compilation of important answers Kripalu Ji gave to questions regarding the true nature and purpose of charity. Opening with the dialogue described in the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad between the creator of the universe, Brahma, and his three classes of children - the celestial gods, human beings and demons - establishes the book's context. Kripalu Ji Maharaj referred to this story many times to highlight the importance of charity, and it is the quintessence of the entire publication.
