Religion

Donation given at night is not just a deed, but a spiritual act of spreading light in the darkness.
Donation is considered a main part of religion. But few people know that a donation given at night is considered ten times more fruitful than usual. This belief is not just a popular belief, but is a part of religious texts and spiritual discipline. Why is donation at night considered so effective? Let us understand the religious and spiritual thinking behind it.
According to the scriptures, night time is dominated by Tamoguna. At this time, when a person is in a state of ignorance, attachment or sleep, then if someone does a 'satkarma' i.e. an illuminating act like donation, then it is like lighting a lamp in the darkness. This is the reason why his virtue increases up to ten times.
It is said in the scriptures that secret donation is the best donation. Donation done at this time is without any expectation of show-off or show-off. Due to this selflessness, the donor gets many times more merits.
Garuda Purana, Agni Purana and Manusmriti are clearly mentioned in texts like Yah Raatrou Dadat Daanam, Sa Punyam Dashgunam Labhet. That is, the one who donates at night, gets ten times more merits.
Whom, what and how should one give?
It is considered best to give essential items like food, clothes, blankets, lamps or money at night. It should be given without publicity, with devotion and compassion. Donations given on special occasions like Amavasya, Purnima, Ekadashi night are especially fruitful.
