🧵Thread: The 5 Types of Daan in Hindu Dharma 🚩

In Sanatan Dharma, Daan (charity) is not just giving wealth…
It is giving with love, respect & selflessness
Our scriptures describe 5 forms of Daan that purify life & uplift society.

Let’s explore 👇

1️⃣ Anna Daan (Offering Food)

Called the greatest Daan.
Feeding a hungry person is equal to feeding Narayana Himself.

“Annadana Pradhānam Sarva Dānānām” – Of all charities, food charity is supreme.

2️⃣ Vastra Daan (Offering Clothes)

Protecting someone from cold & shame is an act of compassion.
In Puranas, Vastra Daan is said to remove sins & bring dignity to the giver.
Even a simple cloth given with love has divine merit.

3️⃣ Vidya Daan (Offering Knowledge)

The most selfless form of charity.
Knowledge grows when shared, unlike wealth.
Guru-Shishya Parampara made Vidya Daan eternal in Bharat.

4️⃣ Bhumi Daan (Offering Land / Shelter)

Providing a place to live or cultivate is a noble act.
Ancient kings donated land for Gurukuls, Temples & Ashrams.
It sustains generations, making it one of the highest charities.

5️⃣ Gau Daan (Offering a Cow)

Considered most sacred in Dharma.
Cow is revered as “Kamadhenu”, provider of nourishment & purity.
Scriptures say Gau Daan opens the path to Moksha.

✨ The Essence of Daan ✨

True Daan is without ego & expectation.
Giving with a pure heart is worship in action.
It purifies the soul, uplifts the needy & balances society.

Sanatan Dharma teaches:
🔸 Wealth is temporary.
🔸 Dharma is eternal.
🔸 What we give selflessly stays with us beyond this life.

So, let us practice Anna Daan, Vastra Daan, Vidya Daan, Bhumi Daan & Gau Daan 🙏
