https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OX1gySOUNc In a significant triumph, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has successfully halted the illegal construction of a church amidst Hindu residential areas in Gollalagunta village, Jaggampeta Mandal, Kakinada District. This development stands as a prime example of the protection of Hindu Dharma and the unity of the villagers. The Root of the Conflict: Villagers' Concern over Illegal Construction Historically, there were no Christians in Gollalagunta village. For a considerable time, conversion gangs had been attempting to convert families, and unfortunately, succeeded with one family. Using this family as a base, they tried to construct a church in the village. A female pastor named Rayudu Hebbiba (alias Baby), a resident of Samarlakota, along with her associates, attempted to undertake this construction without any Gram Sabha resolution or government permissions. The financial strength to build a church for just one family, and the political power to oppose the entire village, lie with this mafia. GHHF is constantly fighting against such forces. The villagers recognized that this construction would hurt their Hindu sentiments and lead to religious conversions. Deciding to thwart these illegal activities, the villagers approached the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. GHHF Intervention: Guidance from Sri Thota Ramakrishna Immediately upon receiving the villagers' request, Sri Thota Ramakrishna, the GHHF Coordinator for Uttarandhra & Godavari Districts, sprang into action. He directly engaged with the villagers to understand the situation, explaining the consequences of illegal construction and the legal aspects involved. Under Sri Ramakrishna's guidance and direction, all the villagers united and formally lodged a complaint with the Gram Panchayat Secretary regarding the illegal church construction. This complaint galvanized the administrative machinery. Victory: Halting of Illegal Construction Work As a result of the villagers' complaint and GHHF's effective intervention, the illegal church construction work was immediately stopped. This brought immense relief to the villagers and the Hindu community. This victory stands as a testament to GHHF's commitment and its sincerity in addressing public issues. Future Actions: GHHF Stands Strong, Seeks Your Support After the illegal construction was halted, Sri Thota Ramakrishna revisited Gollalagunta village and organized a meeting with the villagers. In this meeting, he congratulated the villagers and praised their unity. He assured them that GHHF would always stand by them in facing any untoward incidents in the future. He urged the villagers to fight together, bravely, and protect Hindu Dharma. This incident not only stopped an illegal construction but also instilled courage and self-confidence in the villagers. The support provided by GHHF will further encourage them to face similar challenges in the future. This victory in Gollalagunta marks a significant milestone in GHHF's ongoing efforts to protect Hindu Dharma and maintain religious harmony.

(NOTE: Part of this article was presented to Santana Dharma Class on June 8, 2025.  This article is more elaborate than what I presented.   These classes are being conducted every Sunday in Frisco, Texas. Next class will be on June 15, 2025, at 10:00am. Interested people who live in Dallas can call 601-918-7111/323-365-4124/972-689-9145.) Many of us have asked or have been asking the question, "Does God eat the food that is offered? If He does, why has the vessel not been emptied?"  A child got a doubt and asked the teacher, "Does God eat the offering we made, why didn't he finish the food?". The teacher heard his question and continued to teach the lessons without answering the child. The teacher talked about the importance of Guru and asked them to read from the book. Guru Brahma Gurur Vishnuhu Gurur devo Maheshwaraha Gurur Sakshat Param Brahma tasmai Shri Guravenamaha. After the lesson was over, the teacher told everyone to look at the book and learn the hymn by heart. After a while, he went to the disciple who questioned him about the offer and asked if he had learned it. The disciple immediately said that he had learned. Even though the hymn was said correctly, the Guru shook his head. In response, the disciple opened the book and showed it to the teacher, saying, "Look at the book if you want." As the hymn is in the book... “How did you get the hymn,” the teacher asked. The disciple did not understand what to say. The teacher said again. The hymn in the book is in the gross state... when you read it, it enters your mind in a subtle state. It is in the same state in your mind. Not only that, because you are learning to read, there is no reference to the Shloka in the gross state of the book. In the same way, the Supreme Being who is all-pervading and perfect perceives the offering in its subtle form and renders it without depleting or harming Prasadam which is a gross form. We are taking that as Prasadam in a subtle form.  The subtle body of mind, intelligence, and ego is also invisible to you, but you know that the subtle body is there. We have two kinds of bodies: a gross body of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, and a subtle body of mind, intelligence, and ego. You can see the body of earth, water, food, fruit and so on, but can you see the subtle body? It is believed that the deity partakes and then returns the offering, thereby consecrating it. The offering is then distributed and eaten by the worshippers. The efficacy of the Prasad comes from its having been touched by the deity. Food left by a guru (spiritual leader) is considered Prasad by the guru’s followers, as the guru is regarded as a living god. All food, if silently offered to God with the proper prayers before eating, becomes consecrated and is thus considered Prasad. (Britannica) God doesn’t need to eat with His mouth though, He can eat with His eyes or ears, or any other part of His body. Srila Prabhupada explains: In the Brahma-samhita it is said that the Lord has a transcendental form and that He can utilize any one of His senses for any purpose. For example, He can eat with His eyes, and He can see with His leg. In the mundane conception of form, one cannot eat with one's eyes or see with his leg. That is the difference between the mundane body and the spiritual body of sac-cid-ananda [Bs. 5.1]. A spiritual body is not formless; it is a different type of body, of which we cannot conceive with our present mundane senses. Formless therefore means devoid of mundane form, or possessing a spiritual body of which the non devotee can have no conception by the speculative method. (SB 2.9.32) We as humans can touch only with our hands or skin, but Krsna as God can touch just by glancing. We can see only with our eyes; we cannot touch or smell them. Krsna, however, can smell and also eat with His eyes. When food is offered to Krsna, we do not see Him eating, but He eats simply by glancing at the food. We cannot imagine how things work in the spiritual world, where everything is spiritual. It is not that Krsna does not eat or that we imagine that He eats; He actually eats, but His eating is different from ours. Our eating process will be similar to His when we are completely on the spiritual platform.  God does “actually EAT” Naivedya or Bhoga that we offer to Him. When the Lord eats, that becomes Prasadam (mercy). In Bhagavad Gita 9.26 and Srimad Bhagavatam 10.81.4, Lord Krishna states patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ ‘’If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.’’   Srila Vishwanatha Chakravarti Thakura, in his Bhagavatam commentary-Sarartha Darshini, explains this verse as follows; The verb ‘aśnāmi’ means “I eat”, which implies that Lord Kṛishna eats even a flower, which is supposed to be smelled, bewildered as He is by the ecstatic love He feels for His devotee. The use of the words bhaktyā prayacchati and bhakty-upahṛtam in above verse may seem redundant, since they both mean “offered with devotion,” but bhaktyā indicates how the Lord reciprocates the devotional mood of whoever offers Him something with love. In other words, Lord Kṛishna here declares that His reciprocation in a pure loving exchange is not dependent on the external quality of what is offered. Krishna says, “Something may or may not be impressive and pleasing in its own right, but when My devotee offers it to Me in devotion, with the expectation that I will enjoy it, it gives Me great pleasure; in this regard I make no discrimination.”   In reality, Krishna Does not need anything, In Fact we cannot offer that which does not produce. Krishna is atmarama- self satisfied. Everything comes from Him, everything is maintained by Him, and, at the end, everything is consumed by Him, like food. Nevertheless, we should understand that He is a person. He has His personality. So He likes to reciprocate with His devotees ‘’like a person’’. If two personalities love each other, they express their love with each other. Now, love is not a static thing but expressed through service. Isn’t that commonplace in our horizontal relationships too? If one loves someone, one will prepare his favorite dish and offer it to him and ask him: ‘’Hey how did you like the taste? Is it good? I prepared this dish for you?’’ The other person, irrespective of whether he likes the taste of food, would say ‘’Yes I liked it very much, it's really good’’. This is reciprocation of love. Sudama, a childhood friend of Lord Krishna, visited Krishna's palace with a simple gift of beaten rice (also called puffed rice or muri). It was a humble gift symbolizing the love and friendship between the two. Despite being a poor Brahmin, Sudama hoped that his friend Krishna would remember their friendship and offer him help. When Sudama arrived at Krishna's palace, he was greeted with love and hospitality, and Krishna treated him as a dear friend. Sudama's gift of beaten rice was a small token of his affection for Krishna, but it touched Krishna deeply. In this connection, Lord Krishna tells to Sudama: aṇv apy upāhṛtaṁ bhaktaiḥ premṇā bhury eva me bhavet bhūry apy abhaktopahṛtaṁ na me toṣāya kalpate ‘’I regard as great even the smallest gift offered by My devotees in pure love, but even great offerings presented by non-devotees do not please Me.’’- Srimad Bhagavatam 10.81.3 Sri Prabhupada says that God is pleased only when the food is offered with love. It means nothing if you offer without faith and love, however the gift may be so valuable. Food is just a medium through which one expresses that love. This is the mood of a devotee. He wants to offer everything to Krishna, for the devotee doesn’t act selfishly for his own sense of enjoyment. He knows very well that nothing belongs to him, everything ultimately belongs to Krishna. God is the ultimate enjoyer. God is the ultimate proprietor. In this regard, devotees are truly grateful for the best practice -the act of gratitude. When King Dasaratha performed Putrakameshti (a sacrifice performed wishing for son), he got a vessel full of sweetened rice which he gave to his queens, by taking which they became pregnant. Prasada is the most sacred object for a devotee. One should consider himself lucky to take the Prasada, and there is no restriction of any kind in taking Prasada. Time and place, and the condition in which one is placed - all these do not affect him in any way. Prasada is all-purifying.   Offer food to God with faith, love, sincerity and obedience. Chant the appropriate mantra. Then wait for a few minutes before we take Prasadam. Remember that you are eating Prasadam that was blessed by God. Try to appreciate the spiritual value of food.   The benefits of Prasadam are beyond description. They have the power to change the outlook of a man’s life. Prasadam has the power to cure diseases and even bring back to life dead persons. There had been ever so many instances in the past in this holy land of ours which bear witness to the potency and efficacy of Prasada. Prasada destroys all pains and sins. It is an antidote for misery, pain and anxiety. Faith is the important factor in testing the accuracy of this statement. For faithless persons, it brings very little effect.  Modern education and culture have been out of touch with our scriptures. To cover up their ignorance, they criticize the ancient, yet scientific knowledge filled our scriptures.  It is we Hindus who are giving our rich culture. We Hindus are committing a serious mistake by ignoring our own scriptures and culture. Prasada is a great purifier. As they are brought up in the western style of living, they have imbibed the spirit of westerners and forgotten the spirit of the true children of Indian Rishis of yore. Every Hindu should live for a few days in sacred places like  Vrindavana or Ayodhya, Varanasi,  Pandharpur, Puri Jagannath etc.. You will realize the glory and the miraculous effects of Prasada. Many incurable diseases are cured. Many sincere devotional aspirants get wonderful spiritual experiences from mere Prasada alone. They consider Prasada a panacea, a spiritual elixir and the Grace of the Lord. Prasada is a cure-all and an ideal pick-me-up. It is filled with energy. One would experience wonders if he takes it with great faith.   Gross Body and Subtle Body  Just because something is invisible doesn't mean we can’t know it exists. The subtle body of mind, intelligence, and ego is also invisible to you, but you know that the subtle body is there. We have two kinds of bodies: a gross body of earth, water, fire, air, and ether, and a subtle body of mind, intelligence, and ego. You can see the body of earth, water, and so on, but can you see the subtle body? Can you see the mind? Can you see the intelligence? Yet everyone knows you have a mind and I have a mind.Anyway, you accept that the subtle body exists even though you cannot see it. That is my point. Similarly, the soul exists even though you cannot see it. The soul is covered by the subtle and the gross bodies. What is known as death is the annihilation of the gross body. The subtle body remains and carries the soul to a place where he can again grow another material body just suitable for fulfilling the desires of his mind. NAIVEDYAM is any cooked food offered to the deity. The most common error among common Hindus is calling an offering as PRASĀD. Prasād means “grace” and that is what naivedyam becomes only AFTER it has been offered. The vast majority of Hindus are unaware of this difference. The Agama Shastra contains recipes for various types of naivedyam for example:- Pānakam - Equal volumes of yoghurt and water with crushed pepper and salt and powdered jaggery. Paramānna — rice cooked with milk, ghee, jaggery Pāyasa — green gram, rice, ghee and milk 4 x the vol of rice. (Coconut milk can be used instead of cow’s milk. Gūḍānna — rice cooked with jaggery Mudgānna — rice and green gram cooked together Dadhyodana — rice mixed with curds. Kṣarānna — green gram with banana, jack-fruit, mango and jaggery Citrānna - known as tamarind-rice (which is my favourite) Haridrānnam - rice cooked with turmeric and pepper. Yavānnam - a dish made with barley As a substitute for Naivedyam in daily pūjā one can use roasted nuts and or dried fruit. Even processed sugar itself is considered as Naivedyam for a simple pūjā. Here is specific mantra to be chanted during naivedya and that is; om pranaya swaha, om apanaya swaha, om vyanaya swaha, om udanaya swaha, om samanaya swaha, om brahmane swaha I offer this food to prana, so that it does good to my respiratory system I offer this food to apana, so that it does good to my excretory system I offer this food to vyana, so that it does good to my circulatory system I offer this food to udana, so that it does good to my sensory system I offer this food to samana, so that it does good to my digestive system Your donations are appreciated: By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Please send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035. {{album_1394}}

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtFftYNePtE Bringing families who had left their native faith due to external influences back into the Hindu Dharma is a noble and sacred endeavor undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF). Recently, GHHF organized a special pilgrimage (Teerth Yatra) for families who returned to their ancestral faith through the Ghar Wapsi program. This journey was not just a visit to holy sites; it offered a spiritual rebirth and immense peace of mind to these families who had emerged from external religious influences and re-entered the embrace of Sanatana Dharma. A Spiritual Journey Steeped in Power, Devotion, and Tradition The families participating in this pilgrimage experienced profound spiritual moments as they visited several sacred pilgrimage sites in South India. The journey began with a visit to Jogulamba Ammavaru, one of the Shakti Peethas. This darshan at the Shakti Peetha infused the families with new energy and spiritual inspiration. In the divine presence of the Mother Goddess, they unburdened their hearts and found deep peace. Subsequently, this sacred journey continued towards Srisailam. Here, the family members had the darshan of Mallikarjuna Swamy, one of the Dwaadasha Jyotirlingas, and Bhramaramba Ammavaru, one of the Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas. The atmosphere at Srisailam was brimming with devotion. The pilgrimage, which began with a Nagara Sankeertana (a procession with devotional singing), enthralled devotees with bhajans. The sacred chants of Shiva's name and the resounding bhajans echoed through the Srisailam hills. This was more than just a divine darshan; it showcased collective devotion and unified strength. The journey then proceeded to the Mahanandi pilgrimage site. After offering prayers to Mahanandi Swamy, the pilgrims reached Yaganti. Participating in the Shivaparvatula Kalyana Mahotsavam (celestial wedding ceremony of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati) at Yaganti provided them with a lifelong memory. By being part of this sacred ceremony, they once again comprehended the greatness of righteous living, family values, and Sanatana traditions. "Purified from Sin" – Hearts Overflowing with Joy This pilgrimage not only offered a spiritual experience but also brought immense mental tranquility to the families who returned to their native faith. The conflict and confusion they had previously experienced due to external religious influences vanished, replaced by the satisfaction of reconnecting with their roots. Their expression, "We have been purified from sin," eloquently conveyed the significant positive change this journey brought into their lives. The Ghar Wapsi program undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is not merely about preventing religious conversions. It plays a crucial role in warmly welcoming back those who had deviated from their native faith and reintegrating them with their cultural and spiritual heritage. Through this pilgrimage, these families are empowered to embrace a dharma-abiding lifestyle and traditions, thereby regaining a respected position in society. This stands as a testament to the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's commitment, its dedication to preserving Hindu Dharma, and its tireless efforts to protect society from adverse external religious influences. For organizations like GHHF to continuously undertake such numerous programs, your cooperation is extremely vital. We seek your support in preserving our culture and Dharma.  Your donations are appreciated: By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaK1aX55CT4 In this inspiring and deeply personal speech, the speaker shares their journey of spiritual discovery and the heartfelt reasons behind choosing Hinduism among thousands of world religions. Drawing from lived experiences and timeless wisdom, this message explores inner peace, unity in diversity, and the profound truths that guided one soul toward a path of acceptance, growth, and inner transformation—delivered in the empowering style inspired by Oprah Winfrey. The following are some of the statements. Please watch the video. Every word is worth listening to. Her appreciation and her experience are worth listening to.  Hinduism didn't tell me what to think. It showed me how to think, how to feel, how to connect with something greater than myself. It didn't demand my loyalty. It invited my experience Hinduism didn't tell me what to think. It showed me how to think, how to feel, how to connect with something greater than myself.  It didn't demand my loyalty. It invited my experience. In a world with thousands of religions I chose one that made room for all of them I chose a path that honors questions as much as answers silence as much as sound. In a world with thousands of religions I chose one that made room for all of them I chose a path that honors questions as much as answers silence as much as sound.  And that choice changed everything. There was a time when I thought I had all the answers. Raised with certain beliefs surrounded by certain voices I accepted the truth that was handed to me like a script I never questioned. And then I encountered Hinduism not through a textbook or a tour guide but through experience, through moments.  A line in the Bhagavad Gita that stopped me mid-sentence. A chant that gave me goosebumps without understanding a single word.   A temple visit that left me breathless in its silence. What struck me wasn't the complexity or the mythology, it was the freedom. For the first time I didn't feel like I was being asked to surrender my question. I was being invited to sit with them. Hinduism didn't hand me a final answer and ask me to memorize it.  It asked me to go deeper to keep asking, to keep exploring.  It didn't claim to be the only truth. It embraced all truths as facets of one infinite reality.  It didn't speak of heaven as a reward or hell as a punishment.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaK1aX55CT4

“Ether, air, fire, water, earth, planets, all creatures, directions, trees and plants, rivers and seas, they are all organs of God’s body. Remembering this a devotee respects all species.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.2.41) As many are aware, that United Nations started the program to protect the environment bay making people aware of the potential danger to the globe in terms of high temperatures, pollution, cold weather, draught and food shortages. World Environment Day was established in 1972 by the United Nations at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment (5–16 June 1972), that had resulted from discussions on the integration of human interactions and the environment. One year later, in 1973 the first WED was held with the theme "Only One Earth". World Environment Day is celebrated in June 2025. Along with planting saplings to preserve the greenery that produces oxygen that helps humanity to breathe fresh air. One of the main themes of World Environment Day is “Only One Earth”, focusing on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”. To protect the environment, Bala Samskar Kendra Students in Assam celebrated World Environment Day by planting more than 200 saplings. Students were very enthusiastic and enjoyed planting the saplings. Planting trees helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, prevent soil erosion, and create habitats for wildlife. We need to remember that we only have one Earth and are running out of time to save our planet. Which is why the theme for this year’s World Environment Day — only one Earth — fits the world situation perfectly. It focuses on the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature, and our possibilities for shifting to a greener lifestyle through both policies and individual choices.  UN Environment Program says, “We must shift from harming the planet to healing it. We must protect what we have & bring back what we lost to advance to a better, more sustainable future, where all species can thrive. Therefore, World Environment Day calls for “collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet,” encouraging everyone, everywhere, to live sustainably and address the climate change.” Hinduism and the Environment. Christopher Framarin’s book “Hinduism and Environmental Ethics: Law, Literature, and Philosophy” breaks new ground in the field by being the first monograph to address the question of how Hindu philosophy can offer a coherent, systematic approach to environmental ethics. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities.

(Note: Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and Dharma Jagruti Foundation are conducting Santana Dharma classes to the youth for 12 weeks starting from May 25 in Frisco Texas. On June 8, 2025, we talked about the importance of Pradakshina, Super brain Yoga and God eating Naivedyam. Discussed about the benefits one accrues by application Bindi on the forehead.) Super Brain Yoga Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi explains the origins of Super Brain Yoga, the puranic stories related to this yoga, how is practiced, the health and physical benefits and voluminous research conducted across USA and India. Super brain yoga is performed by holding the left ear with right hand fingers and the right by left hand fingers and simultaneously sitting and standing in front of Lord Ganesha and seeking his blessings.      Two stories are narrated in our Puranas with the practice of Super brain Yoga. Many Hindus do this Super brain yoga in front of Lord Ganesha, who is known for intelligence and knowledge. Proper holding of the earlobes, the major acupuncture point,  stimulates the mouth, eyes, temples, testes, ovaries, forehead, and brain.  The research conducted to find out the benefits revealed that the students who practiced this technique have fewer symptoms of autism, dyslexia, ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Down syndrome and show fewer emotional disturbance. Other benefits include improved sex drive, lower psychological stress, promotes mental clarity and focus, increases creativity and intelligence, and an increase in calmness and inner peace which can further aid in appetite control and overall health management.      Many Universities in India and USA are conducting research on high school students who have found out that they experienced less frustration, improved class participation, lowered anxiety and fear, improved standardized test scores, and increased peer association. They also showed more compassion, kindness, and generosity. Pradakshina Pradakshina is going around or circumambulating the deity in Garbhagudi with devotion, with folded hands. The circumference of a circle is equidistant from the center. This means that wherever we may be or whoever we may be, we are equally close to the Lord. His grace flows towards us without partiality. Pra means toward, onward, forward;  Dakshina means south.  The Pradakshina is always done in a clockwise direction, but do we know the reason behind it? This is because we always believe that God exists in the center of the universe. He is the center of our very existence. He is Omnipresent. So, when we do pradakshina in a clockwise direction, we believe that all our actions and thoughts are centered on God, the universal power of the world. The center point remains fixed at all times no matter what distance we perform the pradakshina Naivedyam/Prasdam Lord Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad-Gita (9.26), “If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.” If there is no love and devotion behind the offering, the magnitude of the offering is not important to Him. Types of Naivedyam: Naivedyam can be of different types depending on the occasion, deity and region. Some of the common types of Naivedyam are fruits, eatables and food items such as curd rice, Pongal, lemon rice, milk rice, sweet Pongal, payasam and ghee rice. "Does God eat the food that offer? If He does, why has the vessel not been emptied?" A child may ask a teacher, "Does God eat the offering we made, why didn't he finish the food? “ Teacher aske the children to read s simple mantra written in the book: “Om Ganeshyana Maha.” and learn it by heart. Then the teacher asked them to chat, which they did. The teacher said, the Mantra is still in the book. How can you say you got it. Then he started talking about the difference between gross and subtle state.

At the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), we're doing a lot of good work, and one of the most important programs is "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home." GHHF has many full-time activists in various districts who conduct a lot of activities in villages. Among these, the "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" program is crucial. We're doing these programs not just in regular villages but also in remote forest areas. Why are we doing this important work? Well, it's to help people understand the greatness of Hindu Dharma, to make them aware of the dangers of religious conversions, and to expose the lies spread by conversion groups. What's more, this "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" is super helpful in speaking directly with families who have, unfortunately, converted to other religions, and gently bringing them back to Hindu Dharma. Our main aim is to unite the entire Hindu society and ensure everyone knows we're all one. GHHF conducts this "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" not just in towns and villages, but also deep inside remote tribal and forest regions. For instance, recently, GHHF full-time activists from Alluri Sitharama Raju District, Sri Subbareddy Garu and Sri Suryam Garu, conducted this program in Yerramreddypalem, a tribal village in Y. Ramavaram Mandal, Andhra Pradesh. They're actively educating tribal communities in many forest villages about Hindu Dharma and conducting various awareness programs to prevent anyone from converting in those areas. These kinds of good deeds help our Dharma reach everyone, increase awareness among people, and strengthen society. GHHF truly hopes you'll become a part of this great effort.

  Following the village committee meeting during the Rayalaseema tour, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, held a crucial meeting with Bal Samskar Kendra teachers at the Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Ammavari Devasthanam Mandapam in Kalyandurgam, Anantapuram district. Teachers from all 20 Bal Samskar Kendras operated by GHHF in Anantapuram district participated in this program. Guiding Teachers for Holistic Change in Children In this meeting, Sri Rajesh explained to the Bal Samskar Kendra teachers what kind of change they should strive to bring about in children. He particularly emphasized various aspects, such as fostering leadership qualities in children, molding them into great orators, and training them to work for Hinduism. He clarified that this is not merely about literacy but about the goal of developing cultured citizens with a strong sense of Dharma. Expanding the Role of Teachers: From School to Village Sri Rajesh advised Bal Samskar Kendra teachers not only to educate children but also to cultivate good relationships with their parents and to stay informed about the children's progress. Furthermore, he urged them to organize spiritual programs in the village through the children and to actively work for the broader protection of Hindu Dharma. This encourages teachers to be key partners in Dharma propagation within society, rather than limiting their role to textbooks alone. A Testament to GHHF's Vision This meeting clearly illustrates GHHF's vision: strengthening the grassroots system through village committees on one hand, and laying strong spiritual foundations for future generations by training Bal Samskar Kendra teachers on the other. Your support is crucial for GHHF's magnificent efforts.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is doing yeoman service to meet the needs of the Flood victims in Assam. The Team members are working 14-16 hours a day going to remote villages even at their risk to help the needy. City officials and other authorities appreciate our selfless, dedicated service to our teams.  The following are some of the highlights of their activities on April 6th.  •    The Church refused to help its congregation members. But GHHF stood beside the converted Dalit Christian families and provided significant support during this flood. •    Last night at around 12.30 am., Samrat Dutt, GHHF Board member received a call from one of our Adhibasi worker saying that 25 Christian families badly affected by flood who were converted to Christianity many years back. The church refused to help them as they are from lower class community. They did not allow them to stay at the church guest house. They had to take shelter elsewhere. The moment h got the call, Samrat informed local team to arrange relief materials for these Christian families immediately •    On June 6th, at 6 am Samrat along with his team members started their journey from Silchar to Rampur, Borkhola and after two hours of journey reached the spot, distributed relief materials like rice, dal, soyabean, potato, milk, biscuits etc. to them.  •    They visited the near Church which was locked. We assured them to help, instructed local GHHF, HYM cadres to be in touch with them and try to make the Dalit Christians understand the fact that for money they converted, as such Church or upper-class Christian community has no emotional attachment with them. They just used them. They should think about returning to Hinduism. •    Desperate to do seva and help the community, GHHF workers took a dangerous decision to reach Dudpatil village on a fishing boat. •    The Disaster management Cachar asked GHHF to help provide relief. Our Cader helped visit one of the remote areas. Just look at the face of the lady, she was happy to receive 20-liter water jar as we have been informed by the local that for the last five days there was total shortage and scarcity of drinking water in this area.
