Dasvandh

Dasvandh is a word that comes from the Punjabi language, which is spoken in parts of India and Pakistan. It means "the tenth part."

When people talk about dasvandh, they are usually referring to the practice of giving a tenth of their income or earnings to their community or to a good cause. In some religions, like Sikhism, dasvandh is considered a religious duty or obligation.

Let's say you earned $10. If you were practicing dasvandh, you would give $1 (which is one-tenth or ten percent) of that money to a cause or organization that helps others.

Some people may give their dasvandh contribution to their local temple, mosque, or church. Others might donate to non-profit organizations that provide food, shelter, or education to people in need.

The idea behind dasvandh is that by giving a portion of our earnings to help others, we can create a more equal and just society. It can also help us feel more connected to our community and increase our sense of purpose and fulfillment.

So, just like how you share your toys with your friends or help someone who falls down at the playground, grown ups also have ways to help people in need through dasvandh.
