Mahadaan: Major Donation

You are giving in gratitude, perhaps in your parents' name. Give at the hour that honours it fully.

A major donation often comes from gratitude. It may honour your parents or your ancestors. You want the gift to earn its full punya.

The classical texts on muhurta shastra fix the moment a gift leaves your hands. Some days count for more; an eclipse is a time for giving, not one to avoid. We work these out for the city you give from. This only times a donation you make yourself. It is different from our daan products, where we arrange the offering at a temple for you.

What you get

Auspicious windows for the act of giving, for the city you give from, with dates and times. The top 3 most auspicious ones highlighted. A note on anything to avoid for your kind of daan, with the reasons. And, the classical text reference behind each recommendation.

What we need

The birth date, time and place of each donor, the kind of daan, and the city you give from.

Mahadaan is a major act of giving, such as land, gold, grain or a gift to a temple. The classical texts fix the moment of transfer, when the gift leaves your hands. The muhurat times that moment.

Testimonials

We give to the dharamshala every year once the Diwali accounts close, and my father never handed that cheque over on a random day in his life. I do not either, and it now takes five minutes on the phone instead of an evening with the panchang.
