Generosity, intrinsic to the Daan concept can help one win over their ego and overcome feelings of anger and bitterness. Watch Devdutt Pattanaik narrate the stories of Sita, Virata, Dhritarashtra, and Shiva to understand better.

One must receive Daan respectfully and focus on the donor’s sentiment and not on what or how much is being given. Devdutt Pattanaik narrates the stories of Shabari, Squirrel, Surpanakha, and Arjuna to emphasize this lesson in Daan.
