**Vanakkam DM Family 🙏**
I want to share something important with all of you.
One Amma called me. She is not working and is struggling to manage her daily life. I will not mention any names or temples. She told me that a priest sent her a WhatsApp message asking for money. Not even politely—just asking. But she does not have that money. She is already struggling even to buy food.
She was crying and didn’t know who to ask for advice, so she contacted me. I told her something simple from my heart:
If you don’t have enough for yourself, you should not feel pressured to give to anyone. First take care of your own life.
Family, people go to temples to find peace, to pray, and to overcome their problems—not to be put under pressure. Yes, temples do good work, and if we earn well, we can donate. For example, if you earn 10, you can give 2. That is from your heart. But giving under pressure when you are suffering is not right.
We must understand—God never asks for money. In this Kali Yuga, many things are changing. Some places are becoming more like business than spiritual spaces. This is not to blame everyone, but we must be aware.
Please remember:
Take care of your family first.
Respect and look after your parents.
Do your prayers sincerely.
Help truly needy people when you can.
That is real seva.
We don’t need to show off in temples. Lighting a lamp at home, praying with a clean heart, and doing good deeds is enough. God sees everything.
Also, please be careful. There are many scams nowadays. Not everyone in religious clothing is genuine. Don’t feel forced or afraid. God will never punish you for not giving money when you don’t have it.
You don’t have to stick to one temple or follow any one person. Go where you feel peace. Sit quietly, pray, and come back with a good mind.
If you are earning a lot, give generously—no problem. But if you are struggling, take care of yourself first. That is also dharma.
Let us wake up as a community. Let us help each other with honesty, not pressure. Real spirituality is simple—pray, do good, and live with kindness.
Thank you, my family.
Please stay aware and stay safe.
Avoid scams and protect your peace.
