According to the Bhagvadgita: Offering is classified into three types – sattvik, rajasik and tamasik.
Sattvik offering *Offering made without any expectation and given as one’s duty *Happiness of the recipient is the only motive behind such an offering. *Secrecy about this offering is maintained. It is not publicised at all as the saying goes that even the right hand should not know what the left hand has done.
Rajasik offering: This offering is made either as a favour on someone or to acquire a name, fame or to get some returns. This offering is not a self-inspired one.
Tamasik offering: This is made with a bad intention, hatred, with a view to insult the other or is given to unworthy recipients at odd times. – Paratpar Guru His Holiness Dr. Jayant Balaji Athavale
