Dasvandh

Dasvandh (Punjabi: ਦਸਵੰਧ, lit. 'tenth part',^[1] also transcribed as daswandh) is the one tenth part (or 10%) of one's income that one should donate, both financially (as a tithe) and directly in the form of seva, according to Sikh principles.^[2]^[3]^[4]

^ Sahni, Sandeep (2021). Dear Son: Life Lessons from a Father. Notion Press. ISBN 9781637815281. 'Dasvandh', which literally means "tenth part", is the tithing practice of contributing a portion of your earnings in the name of your Guru or spiritual source. The principle of Dasvandh is that if you give to the Infinite; Infinity, in turn, will give back to you. It is a spiritual practice through which you build trust in the ability of the Infinite to respond to the flow of love and energy that you give. This energy then expands tenfold and flows back to you in abundance.

As per the Sikh Religion, the Sikhs began bringing offerings during the time of the first Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak (1469-1539) who promoted the concept and virtue of Dasvandh in his bani. He said, ghaal khaa-ay kichh hathahu day-ay. naanak raahu pachhaaneh say-ay.

The giving of a tenth of one's earnings, dasvandh, to help those less fortunate, is an ideal of the Sikh Dharma of the Western Hemisphere, and is also an important feature of general Sikh practice. The principle of dasvandh is based on one of the three pillars of Sikhism, that is, vand chakna. A true Sikh is one who practises all three pillars with a sincere heart.
