Dāna in Sanātana-dharma

The Five Great Gifts

The Vedic tradition honours giving (dāna) as one of the purest acts of the heart. Five gifts are especially celebrated, and one stands above them all.

1
Go-dāna

Gift of a Cow

Honoured as a mother who nourishes society with her milk. Protecting and caring for cows brings lasting blessings to the whole community.

2
Kanyā-dāna

Gift of a Daughter in Marriage

Parents lovingly entrust their daughter to a dharmic household in sacred marriage, one of the most selfless gifts a family can give.

3
Bhūmi-dāna

Gift of Land

Giving land for a temple, school or farm creates a place where devotion and service can grow for generations.

4
Vidyā-dāna

Gift of Knowledge

Sharing spiritual and practical knowledge frees people from ignorance. Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books carry this gift into homes around the world.

The Greatest GiftNāma-dāna

Gift of the Holy Name

Giving someone the holy names of Kṛṣṇa through hari-nāma saṅkīrtana awakens the soul’s eternal wealth, a gift that is never lost. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu made this His mission, and it is the heart of everything we do at ISKCON Canberra, from temple kīrtana to chanting in the streets of the city.

Charity given out of duty, at the proper time and place, to a worthy person, without expecting anything in return, is charity in the mode of goodness.Paraphrase of Bhagavad-gītā 17.20
Lakṣmī Seva

The Gift That Makes All the Others Possible

Feeding prasādam, sharing books, caring for the Deities, celebrating festivals and sending kīrtana into Canberra’s streets all depend on the community’s support. In the Vedic view, wealth is Lakṣmī, the goddess of fortune, and her natural place is in the service of Lord Nārāyaṇa. When you offer Lakṣmī to Kṛṣṇa’s temple, you share in every one of these gifts, and above all in the gift of the holy name.

Hari-nāma SaṅkīrtanaInstruments, kirtan programs and chanting in the city: nāma-dāna in action.
Festivals and EventsDecorations, offerings and feasts for every major festival of the year.
Prasādam for AllThe free Sunday Feast and festival meals for everyone who visits.
Books and ClassesBhagavad-gītā classes and Śrīla Prabhupāda’s books, our vidyā-dāna.
