Yes sir, giving is a an act of happiness shanti; begging is shame; not receiving the dhanam; dhaanam is out of the self earned Dhanam wealth; receiving the dhaanam is is again a kind of dhaanam viz giving that happiness to others; making the other happy is the best act of human; dhaanam as throwing away out of ego is sin for both the giver and the receiver; hence the pertinent point of dhaanam was /is/ever will be , is what the right hand gives the left hand shall not know about; nishkamya or without expectation dhaanam is is made by dattam (pouring water) viz NA MAMA(not mine) which is far better than the modern registration process; Karnan, Bali, Datheechi, sibi, King Paari, many in the Epics and the history. The opposite is branded as <ONE WHO DOES NOT OFFER CHUNNAM OR SLAKED LIME TO A WOUND CUT TO FILL OR NEVER HE WILL DRIVE OUT THE CROWS WITH THE HANDS WITH CRUMBS OF FOOD ON THE HAND. Guru in the 11th and Bhudan in the 10th house will bring about a great donor. K R IRS 181120
