Donation differs from Bhiksha. Bhiksha is given when you ask for it. Donation is when you receive without asking for it. It is based on will and feeling of the donor. Various people in the society and those holding government & corporate positions recognize the seva being done by the Gurukul and come forward to support the effort. Today this is called a government grant and CSR funds, respectively. These come with its own terms and conditions. No Gurukul would want to take donations with terms and conditions. In today’s times, the number of people giving voluntary donations have reduced. But still there are people who give donations, and this is considered a legitimate means of managing financial needs.
