Walks into a temple, donates ₹100 with full devotion.
“Bhagwanji, bless me with a Mercedes!”
Five minutes later, at a street vendor’s stall—
“Baba, ek rupee bhi zyada nahi dunga!”
Moral: Charity is only for impressing the gods, not for helping humans.
The “Charity with a Hidden Agenda” Mentality
For many, charity is not about helping others but about securing divine rewards:
Donate at a temple for better business deals
Offer sweets to a deity, but refuse to feed a hungry person
Give in a religious place to buy cosmic favors but ignore real suffering around them
Reality check: Dharma is not a business contract.
Jyotish Insight – Why This Mindset Backfires
In Jyotish, Jupiter (Guru) governs real charity, wisdom, and dharma.
A strong Jupiter makes a person generous and ethical in all dealings.
A weak or afflicted Jupiter results in:
Selective generosity driven by selfish motives
Expecting divine rewards for minimal effort
No real understanding of dharma
Meanwhile, Saturn (Shani) watches karma closely.
If wealth is accumulated unfairly, donations won’t cleanse the consequences.
Real blessings come from selfless giving, not just temple donations.
The Consequences of ‘Selective Charity’
A weak Jupiter or afflicted Saturn in a horoscope can lead to:
Charity that doesn’t bring spiritual or material fulfillment
False sense of righteousness without real punya
Short-term success followed by karmic tests
A strong Jupiter and Saturn bring:
Genuine kindness and ethical wealth accumulation
The ability to give selflessly without expecting returns
Long-term prosperity rooted in dharma
The Real Jyotish Remedy for Divine Blessings
Give without expecting returns—true charity is selfless.
Help those in need directly, not just through temple donations.
Treat wealth ethically—Lakshmi only stays where there is real dharma.
Lesson for Jyotish Students
Punya doesn’t come from bribing the gods.
True remedies work when they align with selfless action, not just rituals.
