What Is The Concept Of Hundi In Temple?
India is a land of mixed cultures and traditions where many religions grow, sustain and flourish by themselves.
Due to its secular concept towards religions, every Indian is free to follow and have faith in his/her own religion.
As a matter of fact, every religion all over the world has its own gods and goddesses; and everyone is free to follow the religion that they like to and prefer.
The faith in the gods makes people do various types of things that you may find unusual and unrealistic. However, faith does not believe in those things.
As far as the concept of Hundi in the temple is concerned, it is purely mythological and people’s faith in the existence in god.
While finding the answer to the question, “why do we put money in the Hundi”, we would need to pay attention towards some old mythological stories which state that Lord Vishnu took some money as a loan from Kuber, the god of wealth.
The devotees have complete faith in the event, and that is why they help the Lord to pay back Kuber. Basically, there is no reason to justify the question, “why is it necessary to put money in the Hundi”.
However, if you look into the matter, then you can obviously find concrete reasons as to why we put money in the Hundi.
Following
are
some
of
the
reasons
that
can
be
the
possible
answers
to
the
question,
“why
is
it
necessary
to
give
money
in
the
Hundi”,
have
a
look:
Helping
Lord
Vishnu
To
Pay
Back
Kuber:
As
mentioned
earlier,
putting
money
in
the
Hundi
is
purely
performed
out
of
the
devotees' wish
to
make
the
Lord
debt
free.
To
be
more
specific,
the
devotees
of
all
the
religions
have
faith
in
the
story
and
they
also
contribute
to
the
fund.
Create
Funds
For
The
Development
Of
The
Temple:
Almost
all
the
temples,
irrespective
of
religion
or
faith,
need
a
large
sum
of
money
to
manage
their
everyday
affairs.
The
money
collected
in
the
Hundi
is
just
a
way
to
provide
funds,
so
that
the
authorities
use
it
to
manage
the
expenses.
The possible expenses include purchase of ingredients for everyday worship of the gods and goddesses. It also includes salary for the staff in the temples, including the priests.
Get
The
Favour
Of
The
Gods:
This
is
pure
faith
and
nothing
else.
The
devotees
consider
the
gods
as
Almighty,
who
has
the
power
to
help
them
out
of
all
the
problems
and
troubles.
This should be taken as pure faith and nothing else. This faith is not built in a day or two, and it has a relevance since time immemorial. Having the blessings of the god can only be experienced, and it cannot be seen by the naked eyes.
Performance
Of
Special
Rituals:
Most
of
the
temples
have
their
own
rituals
and
religious
activities.
These
activities
are
special
and
they
also
need
large
sums
of
money
every
year.
For example, the Yagnas are conducted on each of the special days, and they need a great deal of money. This is one of the strongest reasons as to why it is necessary to put money in the Hundi.
Usually, these Yagnas are attended by a large number of devotees, and they all contribute to the Hundi. In the process, the authorities collect the required sum of money to perform those special rituals.
To
Help
The
Needy:
Though
not
all
the
temples
do
this,
but
there
are
many
temples
all
around
the
globe
where
the
authorities
use
the
large
sums
of
money
collected
in
the
Hundi
to
help
the
needy
people
who
cannot
help
themselves.
The
money
is
dispensed
among
the
poor
purely
for
charity
and
not
for
any
business
purpose.
To
Become
A
Desire-free
Person:
As
per
mythology,
it
is
believed
that
a
person
becomes
desire
free
only
when
he
offers
something
to
others
out
of
his
own
accord.
The reason why we put money to the Hundi is to make ourselves get rid of the bad elements in us, and further allow this task to purify our hearts.
This is one of the reasons why we offer and put money to the Hundi.So, faith in God and His existence can make people offer money to the Hundi. There is basically no selfish reason for this and it is usually offered by the people on their own will with no one forcing them to do so.
