Can man also do this? Can i give to needy person if he is not brahmin?
ReplyDeleteYes, that would be best if you will give it to someone who is "needy". Cast doesn't matter at all. Go ahead
DeleteYes,, u can also do this
DeleteIn the list some items like gold, clothes, black pepper etc. Since items like gold is very costly, so how much of these can be given.more over items like clothes are also to be given by measurements.
