Here in North, On Saturdays more beggars are seen on foot path and subways. The reason, giving alms on Saturday will be good (Sani ka dan maha kalyan) so the beggars are taking the advantage. :lol:
I have the habit of giving some money when I see physically handicapped people (all are coming on this special day, Saturday).
What about you, do you think this will give you any benefits in the form of blessings. :(

Most of them are not beggars but opportunists. Some of them other jobs on week days like rikshaw pulling, selling vegetables etc. But as they know Indians' mentality to fall for such things they come disguised as Sani and make lots of people wash their sin/get their problems away. I never pay to any of them.
I love this free image hosting site for sharing my work
Saturday is like any other day and giving alms on this day is no different. Instead of charity, self dependence needs be encouraged.
The government has quota in services for physically handicapped. Private sector should also be required to employ them. The physically handicapped are in fact differently able and not totally unable to do any useful work.

I don't believe on such things from the starting.. I used to give up food (not to all) to old age people and kids. I used to purchase some packing food for the kids, but I saw one time that few of them sell it for the money, so now I give them open packets so they can't sell it....
About blessings , I surely not believe them. But I won't mind it if I am getting it.. he he

It's really a new piece of knowledge.
Saturday or sunday, if we help someone with our heart, we will get blessings :whistle:
I do believe in this,but have stopped giving. In Udaipur,i had find various poor people coming to me and asking for the money. Small childrens do come to me and ask for money. But some locals have told me that,you should not give money to childrens,but rather give some food to them. Because,the money which they got, will be steal by their father and father will buy a bottle of Alcohol.
So,its better to give some food incase of money.
But still,if i feel that i should give money,i give it. I am little sensitive.
