Mahaperiavaa used to advice… “Everyday morning a handful of rice …uncooked… must be set apart for the poor. All families must do this without fail everyday. The rice thus kept must be collected from house to house every quarter , cooked and offered to the Deity of the local temple as Naivedya and then distributed among the poor people.
With the handful of rice every day, setapart for the poor people, keep just one Rupee also. The one Rupee collected from each family would be sufficient to buy cooking media and fuel . To carryout such a scheme is to do a great service to the poor. …and in turn to GOD.”
