The Dharma Prachar Yajna of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation continues relentlessly. The 'Prati Inta Ramanamam' (Bhagawan Nama on Every House) program is surging ahead on the path of victory, with the successful completion of writing the name of Bhagawan on every house in the 505th village. With the completion of the program in Bennavaram village, Nathavaram Mandal, Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has successfully finished this great work in 505 villages so far, ushering in a new chapter. This program is not just about painting the names of Bhagawan; it is a great movement that instills spiritual awakening and Hindu unity in every village. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation activists went to every house and, with the help of stencils, painted slogans like 'Jai Sri Ram,' 'Om Namah Shivaya,' and 'We are Hindus,' thereby awakening feelings of devotion and self-respect among the people. Initiating a New Awakening Through this program, the forgotten spiritual feelings among the villagers have blossomed again. In particular, the slogan 'We are Hindus' has greatly contributed to the unity of the Hindu community. The villages where this program has been completed are now safe from religious conversion gangs. Since the name of Bhagawan and the slogan 'We are Hindus' are present on every house, proselytizers from other religions are afraid to enter those villages. With the completion of this program in Bennavaram village, this successful journey is inspiring many more people. People are eagerly coming forward, requesting that this program be conducted in their villages as well. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation extends special congratulations to every activist who made this great victory possible, to the cooperating villagers, and to everyone who is part of this Maha Yajna.  Your donations are appreciated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dyP6XlhZ54  This is not merely the installation of a board; it is a Dharma Revolution undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) for the protection of Hindu Dharma! You are aware that GHHF is moving forward with the goal of establishing 'Global Hindu Villages.' Recently, we reached another historic milestone in Anantapuram District. By uniting all the local Hindus in Nanjapuram village, Brahmasamudram Mandal, we passed a crucial resolution to 'Prohibit the propagation of other religions' and installed the corresponding sign board. Nanjapuram's Slogan – A Clear Goal! The single slogan proclaimed on the board we installed in Nanjapuram village is: "All the residents in our village are Hindus. The propagation of other religions is prohibited." This slogan is not just letters on a board; it is our firm resolve to protect the faith of the local Hindu brothers and sisters. Behind this lies a robust system of our Bal Samskar Kendras, Dharma Jagruti programs, and many other initiatives involving the participation of the villagers. This is a Movement – Be a Part of It! This movement to unite the Hindu society against religious conversions is not limited only to Anantapuram. We need your support to be a part of this Dharma Yatra and to fill every remote village in the country with culture and Dharma! Every village must become Nanjapuram, and the expansion of Hindu religious activities must take place in every village. Your donations are appreciated.

On the evening of October 4th, approximately 16 GHHF activists were fortunate enough to meet with Dr. Dasari, who shared his lifelong dedication to serving society and his continued commitment to upholding Dharma. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Dharma Parirakshana Samiti Trust at TTD. He is a respected retired IAS Officer, a visionary administrator, a social reformer, and an author.  Dasari Srinivasulu Garu is known for his dedicated service in various government roles and his continued involvement in social causes through writing and activism. Throughout his nearly three-decade-long administrative career, he held several key field positions, gaining deep exposure to welfare programs, land regulations, labor laws, cooperative sectors, and rural development, with a special focus on tribal development. All 16 members who attended the meeting introduced themselves and discussed their contributions to Sanatana Dharma.  Later, Pinnamaneni Sreenivas and Rajesh Thunuguntla spoke at length, explaining the 16 activities of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation at the ground level, and hope to work with Dr. Dasari Garu. These are some of the highlights of his presentation to the groups as prepared by Chandra Movva and Prashant Nanganuri. •    He has been aware of the work of GHHF since 2017.  He acknowledged our contribution to the construction of the Vakula Mata Temple. •    He praised Dr. Prakasarao Garu, suggesting that he should be respectfully addressed as Guruji instead of Uncle. •    He appreciated GHHF's work in staying the GO 21 during the YSR regime. •    He appreciated Bala Samskar Kendras being conducted on Sundays. •    He also acknowledged our efforts to protect TTD – especially the declaration of Tirumala. Tirupati and Tiruchanur are designated as Divya Kshetra, competing with Mumtaj Hotel, Lulu Mall, and a Tablighi Jamaat gathering. •    Dr. Srinivasulu Dasari is a permanent invitee to TTD; he can attend and recommend/influence all the TTD board meetings. •    He has a long association with RSS, VHP, and BJ. •    He served as the Chairman of Samarasata Seva Foundation, overseeing the construction of Hindu Temples in villages. •    He commended the Bala Sanskar Kendras and other activities run by GHHF and emphasized that Sunday Schools are the need of the hour. He built 500 temples with an estimated cost of ₹ 25 crores. •    He advised making use of government schemes for Dhupa Dipa Naivedyam, Archaka training, and other temple-related support; grants Rs. 5000 for each Temple. •    He stressed the importance of Panchalayam, where temples could serve as centers for five key aspects: Vidyalaya (education), Vaidyalayam (health), Grandhalayam, promote arts, etc. •    He runs a non-profit organization called Sanchar. He highlighted the contributions of various nomadic groups in propagating Hinduism, while also noting their current economic neglect, including those of Gangireddula, Budabukkala, Poosala, Erukulasani, and Haridasulu. •    Also, through his NGO Sanchari, young girls from these nomadic groups are provided early education and later secured their admission into government-run welfare hostels, thus securing their future. •    2500 girls have been educated to date over the past 13 years. The government-sanctioned grant of Rs. 15k to parents for every girl child enrolled in education. Protect the nomad team from exploitation by the police or government and establish a network of officials to provide support in times of need. I sent a message on Monday thanking him for his service to Sanatana Dharma. He responded by saying: “Kind of you Guruji. Good that I could have a good time with your team in the name of divinity. Prof. Madem is a spirited Naareemani. My special regards and respects to her. GHHF is energetic under your able hands. Thanks for the rousing reception.”                                               ----- Dasari Srinivasulu.   {{album_1460}}      

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7_4rkqZ3iQ Watching this video will make you understand the extent of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's (GHHF) efforts to protect Hindu Dharma, even in the dense forest regions of Alluri Sitarama Raju district. However, this one example is enough to demonstrate how dire the situation is here: Rakoḍ village, Rampachodavaram Mandal! In this small village of only 120 families, 40 families have been converted and a staggering 4 churches have been built for them! This clearly shows how aggressive the proselytization attempts by Christian missionaries are here, and how they are deceiving our innocent tribal brothers and sisters. That is why, with the aim of countering those attempts and protecting our traditions, GHHF organized Archaka training for the ST tribal brothers. The person you are seeing in this video is Sri Toorla Srinivasa Reddy Garu from Rakoḍ village. Though he is busy with his personal work, he learned this training with the resolve to contribute something to Dharma. Now, he is personally performing pujas in the temple of his own village. This is one of the many programs we are conducting to strengthen our tribal brothers' community and accompany them on their spiritual journey. This is only the first phase of the training. We will soon be providing them with the second phase of training as well. Your support is very essential for the programs we are doing and will be doing. Your donations are appreciated.

Understanding Its Significance and Benefits The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been establishing more than 175 Bala Samskar Kendras in nine different States in Bharat. Every month, we made it a point to conduct Pada Puja for the parents of the students attending our classes. Pada Puja is a devotional ritual in Hinduism that involves the ceremonial worship of the feet—most commonly the feet of a spiritual teacher (guru), deity, or elder. The word "Pada" means "feet" in Sanskrit, and "Puja" means "worship" or "adoration." This practice is rooted in the tradition of showing utmost respect, humility, and gratitude toward those considered spiritually elevated or divine. Why Do Hindus Perform Pada Puja? Hindus perform Pada Puja for several reasons, all centered around the values of reverence, humility, and spiritual connection: •    Expression of Reverence: The feet are regarded as the most sacred part of a guru or deity, symbolizing their journey and spiritual accomplishments. Touching or worshiping the feet is a gesture of deep respect. •    Symbol of Humility: By bowing to and serving the feet, devotees demonstrate humility and surrender of ego, which are essential qualities for spiritual growth. •    Receiving Blessings: It is believed that the guru or deity's energy and blessings flow through their feet. Pada Puja is a way for devotees to receive these blessings directly. •    Tradition and Ritual: Many Hindu scriptures and stories emphasize the importance of serving and honoring the feet of saints and deities. This ritual is often performed during special occasions, spiritual gatherings, or festivals. Significance of Pada Puja The significance of Pada Puja is both symbolic and spiritual: •    Spiritual Connection: Pada Puja helps establish a direct spiritual bond between the devotee and the guru or deity, facilitating the transmission of wisdom and grace. •    Purification: The act of worshiping the feet is considered purifying for the mind and soul, helping devotees shed negative qualities and cultivate virtues. •    Gratitude and Devotion: It is a profound way to express gratitude for the guidance, teachings, and blessings received from the guru or divine being. •    Symbolic Surrender: The ritual signifies surrendering one's ego and personal desires at the feet of the divine, allowing for spiritual transformation. Benefits of Pada Puja Devotees believe that performing Pada Puja brings several spiritual and psychological benefits: •    Inner Peace: The act of worship fosters a sense of calmness and tranquility by helping devotees let go of pride and ego. •    Spiritual Progress: Regular practice of Pada Puja is thought to accelerate spiritual growth, as it opens the heart to divine grace and wisdom. •    Blessings and Protection: Devotees seek the blessings of the guru or deity for success, health, and protection from negative influences. •    Cultivation of Virtues: The ritual reinforces qualities like humility, devotion, and gratitude, which are essential for a fulfilling spiritual life. Pada Puja is a deeply meaningful practice in Hinduism, embodying the values of humility, devotion, and spiritual surrender. Whether performed for a guru, a deity, or an elder, it serves as a powerful reminder of the path to spiritual growth through reverence and selfless service. The ritual not only strengthens the bond between devotee and the divine but also brings numerous psychological and spiritual benefits, making it a cherished tradition within Hindu culture.

[GHHF] Let's turn every temple into a Shakti Kendra! - GHHF's success in Nanjapuram.  https://youtu.be/Ba2rjBhMBeU?si=80OVEAnM1QtXmN7f The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation continually seeks opportunities to serve the community by launching new projects, generating innovative ideas, and assisting villagers in meeting their needs.  One such new project GHHF has undertaken is the Construction of a mandapam in front of Thimmappa Temple in Nanjapuram village, Brahmasamudram mandal, Anantapur district, courtesy of GHHF! India is home to numerous shrines and temples. However, most of them are limited to daily worship only. In fact, temples are built to uplift humanity, serving as a spiritual and religious center. However, activities aimed at awakening Hindus are not being conducted in accordance with that goal. Through the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), we are mainly working on this issue. We aim to transform temples into Shakti Kendras, bringing consciousness to the Hindu community, not just places of worship. To achieve this goal, we are organizing Satsang, Bhajan programs, religious activities, and Dharma Pracharas at the temples. With this great goal in mind, we have started several programs in Nanjapuram village, centered around Thimmappa Temple: * We have established a child development center. * We have formed a village committee to manage the programs. * We have formed a Bhajana Samaj for daily Bhajana. * We are constantly spreading Dharma from house to house. As a result of the awareness generated by GHHF programs, all the villagers of Nanjapuram have made an excellent decision! They unanimously passed a resolution banning the propagation of other religions in their village. Moreover, with our help, they have also courageously put up a board on the outskirts of the town saying, "Everyone in the village is Hindu - Propagation of other religions is prohibited". This is truly a great testament to the Hindu phenomenon! With the success of GHHF's religious programs, the space inside the temple became inadequate! We are pleased to report that this is a significant success for our efforts. To accommodate the increased number of devotees and activities, a mandapa has been constructed in front of the temple, courtesy of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF). This mandapa will enable devotees participating in the spiritual programs held there to participate in all the programs without being bothered by the sun or rain. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been advocating that Hindu Temples should not be confined to their four walls, conducting various religious activities, including pujas, Abhishekams, Archanas, Homas, and more. They must protect Hindus who live in their villages, who are being targeted by missionaries, and monitor the construction of illegal structures by other religions.  Our appeal to the Hindu community through GHHF is this: Don’t limit the temples around you just to worship. Transform them into power centers and utilize them for Hindu events. Every temple should become a center of Dharma! Your donations are appreciated.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is pleased to inform you that we have celebrated the Navaratri festival at Bala Samskar Kendras. Sri Samrat Dutt established the number of Kendras that performed Kanyaka Puja in various schools. Kanya Puja (also known as Kumari Puja) is a Hindu holy ritual performed primarily on the Ashtami (eighth day) and Navami (ninth day) of the Navaratri festival. The ceremony primarily involves the worship of nine girls, representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga (Navadurga). According to Hindu philosophy, these girls are considered manifestations of the natural force of creation. Legend has it that on the ninth day of Navaratri, Shakti assumed the form of the Goddess Durga at the request of the devas to slay the demon Mahisasura. One of the most important dates of the nine-day Hindu festival of Navratri is almost upon us - Ashtami, also known as Maha Ashtami or Durgashtami. Devotees of Maa Durga are gearing up to celebrate Maha Ashtami this weekend. During Navratri, also known as Shardiya Navratri, which falls in the autumn lunar month of Ashwin, Hindus worship Maa Durga and her nine avatars, the Navadurgas. On Ashtami Tithi, people pray to Goddess Mahagauri, celebrate Kanya Puja or Kumari Puja, and perform the legendary Sandhi Puja. If you and your loved ones celebrate Ashtami, learn about its date, history, significance, celebrations, auspicious timings, parana time, and more inside. On Ashtami Tithi, people pray to Goddess Mahagauri, celebrate Kanya Puja or Kumari Puja, and perform the legendary Sandhi Puja. Do you know why people perform Kanya puja? Our sacred books state that every human has a God within, provided they possess innocence and purity. Children are the purest form of human beings, as they have no evil emotions instilled. It is believed that praying to a human being would yield faster results than praying to God Himself. The sacred books of Hindus describe how every human has a God within, provided they possess innocence and purity. Children are the purest form of human beings, as they have no evil emotions instilled. It is believed that praying to a human being would yield faster results than praying to God Himself. Significance of Kumari Puja. Kumari Pujan, one of the most significant rituals of Durga Puja, is observed during the Navratri period.  It is a tradition that has been followed for years in this state, and people celebrate it with great pomp and show. This ritual is considered a symbol of purity and is regarded as the next major festival after the Rath Yatra. On Maha Navami, a ritual is performed where they worship young virgin girls aged 1-16 years. These young girls are believed to be incarnations of Maa Durga. Nine young girls are worshipped and revered as the goddess Durga, considered the nine incarnations of the Goddess Durga, during the nine auspicious days of Navratri. The ritual begins with washing the feet of the girls, followed by serving them special dishes like Puri and kheer. They are then offered ‘chunnis’ and ‘money’ as gifts. The family member who performs this ritual seeks blessings from the girls by touching their feet. The girls, believed to be incarnations of the Goddess, bless the house with happiness and prosperity. This ritual is meant to be very auspicious and is also celebrated in other North Indian states like Bihar, U.P., Bengal, Assam, Punjab, Odisha, and other States. The saffron-clad monks of the Ramakrishna Order at Belur Math regard a young girl as their mother and worship her as a goddess on Maha Ashtami. According to Sri Ramakrishna, little girls at a tender age, when they are away from the hostile forces of the materialistic world, are manifestations of the Divine Mother. A little girl at the pre-puberty phase of her growth is bathed in the holy Ganga water, dressed in a crimson red or fiery yellow sari with a golden border, and adorned with jewelry.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation strongly condemns the statements made by sickly Y S Sharmila about the construction of Hindu Temples. Reacting to the Chief Minister's announcement that the TTD would initiate the construction of 5,000 Hindu Temples in Dalit colonies, she stated that the TTD funds would be better spent on improving social infrastructure and sanitation in the Dalit colonies. Her reckless, ridiculous, and immature comments must be condemned vehemently. She also made several other points during her speech: 1)    She said that TTD funds would be better spent on improving social infrastructure and sanitation in the Dalit colonies. 2)    Prioritize infrastructure: Sharmila urged the TTD and the state government to prioritize using the funds for basic amenities like roads, sanitation, and hostels for Dalit students, instead of temples. 3)    Accusation of 'RSS ideology': She accused Chief Minister Naidu of adopting the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideology by prioritizing religious projects over human development. What did the Chief Minister actually say? •    In September 2025, Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu suggested that the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) would construct 5,000 Venkateswara temples across Andhra Pradesh, in every State capital, and in regions with Telugu diaspora. •    Funds to build 5,000 temples in Dalit colonies will come from the SRIVANI Trust, a donation-based fund managed by the TTD. •    TTD has previously used SRIVANI funds for similar temple-building efforts in marginalized communities to promote Hindu Dharma. G.O. R T No. 820 in 2016 The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation wrote a letter to Dr. Anil Kumar Singhal on December 23, 2019, requesting that he resume the construction of Hindu Temples in Dalit colonies or Villages.  As per GO R T. No. 820 dated August 2, 2016, the TTD has agreed to build 500 Hindu temples in weaker section localities. To our knowledge, no Hindu Temples were built in 2017. In 2018, 500 Hindu Temples were constructed under the aegis of Hindu Dharma Parirakshana Trust (HDPT) through Samarasata Foundation. It appears that the Board of Trustees of TTD, during the previous administration, discontinued the funding for 2019, thereby axing a successful program. We feel TTD should find a few other organizations to give this responsibility of constructing Hindu Temples in the weaker section localities. We earnestly request that you ensure the resolution is passed to build 500 temples in 2019 as per the GO. Why would she make such ridiculous statements? 1)    She must be suffering from mental sickness not to know the difference between TTD funds and State funds.  2)    She must be consumed with hatred toward Hindus to say that Naidu is implementing RSS principles where ‘only Hindus are considered humans’ and others are marginalized.” 3)    She may be pressured by Christian Pastors who may be worried that their Christian business is losing money. 4)    She must be really deranged not to recognize that the social infrastructure, laying roads, and providing other amenities are done by the State government, not by Hindu religious funds.  5)    She may be worried that once these Hindu Temples are built, the chances of Christians converting the villagers to Christianity may be extremely difficult.  6)    She must be suffering from a mental fog where she cannot think clearly, and her focus is impaired, resulting in saying that the NDA government "withdraw the temple construction decision." The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation requests that Y S Sharmila withdraw her statement and publicly apologize for her immature and reckless comments. Your donations are appreciated.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation’s activities are being followed by Hindus worldwide. On September 27, the Hindu Temple Society of Mississippi honored him for his dedication and tireless efforts in preserving Sanatana Dharma in Villages in India, Bangladesh, and Congo.     On the evening of September 28th, Hindu friends in Jackson, MS, honored Dr Prakasarao Velagapudi with the “Dharma Pravakta” title by the Jackson Hindu Community. Dr. K. R. Rao, Dr. Ramesh Patel, Amrith Patel, and Dr. Indira Rao initiated the effort and organized the event in beautifully decorated Indira Park. Following the presentation, Prakasarao discussed the history and activities being conducted in ten different States. He presented a PowerPoint presentation with 35 slides and three short videos. •    The G.O. 21 issued by Sri Raja Sekhara Reddy, the then Chief Minister, in 2006, was the reason for the start of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. GHHF was started in 2006 in the USA with a mission to free Hindu Temples from government control in India to be managed by Hindus only. •    Take the necessary and appropriate legal, non-violent actions against all laws, policies, activities undertaken by any government, individuals, and/or any organizations that adversely affect the Hindu religion, Hindu Temples, and other Hindu institutions. •    He said that Bharata Mata is in danger. Muslims and Christians are attacking her from different directions. •    Even more danger to Santana Dharma comes from Hindus, who are indifferent, silent, and apathetic. Hindus are only takers. Take all the intelligence, talent, scientific knowledge, skill, and intuition received from our ancient Rishis.  •    Hindus are the most ungrateful people to their mother and motherland. They have become spectators to the game of dismantling Santana Dharma in Bharat. •    Talked about two padayatra’s in 2008 and 2009 covering the combined Telugu States, traveling more than 1000 kilometers each year to awaken Hindus. •    Presented the highlights of the activities over the last 19 years. •    Talked about the efforts to build Vakulamata Temples, recovered land from Christians, foiled the installation of the Cross, stopped the auction of the Mahankali Temple in Hyderabad, and how we protected a tortoise being neglected by the Endowment Department. •    How GHHF was successful in conducting Godavari Arti daily and Krishna Arthi daily, akin to Ganga Arthi. •    Efforts were made to stop the villages from being converted to Christianity by initiating projects that met the needs of the villagers. •    How did we get a judgment to demolish illegal Churches and the consequent demonstrations against GHHF and Prakasa Rao •    A three-month effort to stop the construction of Mumtaj Hotel in the footsteps of Tirumala Hills. •    How we calculated the 4000 Christians working at TTD and how to identify the concealed Christians. •    Efforts were made to stop the Tablighi Jamaat in Tirupati with 8000 Muslims. •    Persistent effort to stop the construction of Lulu Mall near Tirupati. •    How to declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Divya Kshetra for all Hindus like the Vatican for Christians and Mecca for Muslims. •    Talked about 16 grassroots activities in Villages in ten different States in Bharat and Bangladesh.  •    Informed about the twelve weeks of Sanatana Dharma classes conducted for youth and parents in Summer 2025.

Hindu Temple Society of Mississippi (HTSM) honored Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi for his dedication and profound knowledge on September 27, 2025 in Jackson Mississippi. It was an emotional experience to return to Jackson and receive honors.  As some of you aware that Prakasarao Velagapudi was one of the founding members of HTSM and served as the founding Chairman from 1984 thru 1991. The Temple was completed and Pranapratishta was done on May 28 – June 2.  It was 7 thousand square feet big hall with 12 deities. We had nine Board of Directors who completed that phase of the Temple without having loans. The Hindu community was very small, but with the firm faith and dedication, the project became a reality. It was a home coming. Dr. K R Rao and Dr Indira initiated the ide of HTSM honoring Prakasarao and they jumped on it and executed the event.  The emblem on top of the Plaque you see a stunning drawing by one of the greatest artists. Bapu, whose real name was Sattiraju Lakshminarayana, was a multifaceted artist known for his contributions to Indian cinema, art, and literature. He was a film director, painter, illustrator, cartoonist, screenwriter, music artist, and designer. If we pay attention to the drawing that you will see almost all the major deities that we see in the Temple. Lord Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Venkateswara and Vishnu symbols are incorporated in the drawing. When approached by Prakasarao, Bapu asked all the details of the Temple and drew that picture to incorporate the diverse deities represented in the Temple. With growing needs of the devotees, a new brand-new Temple was built and Kumbhabhishekam was built in 2010.  Then Prakasarao met Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji, and his spiritual and religious pilgrimage took a different turn. We want to express our appreciation to Veera Vasamsetty, Dr. Kumari, Vijay Yerra, Sridhar Gollapudi, Senthil, Prasad and others who participated in awarding the plaque. My contemporaries at the time, Dr. Ramesh Patel, Amruth Patel and Dr. K R Rao spoke and recollected the efforts made during that period.  One gentleman came to the podium, and we were surprised by his speech. He happened to be from my native village, Akunuru. He was eleven years old when he saw us for the first time. It was 1971, me. My wife Nandini and my one-year-old son, Pratap, returned to village. He explained how excited all the children were to see us from the top of a building while we came to our house. He came to Jacksom to his daughter’s house and tried to find where he live and wanted to meet us. He just happened to come to the Temple and when he heard that we were coming to receive the honors, we can imagine his excitement. I spoke for about ten minutes about the need to protect Sanatana Dharma and Bharata Mata. Bharath is in danger. She is being attacked and ambushed from all directions. It is our dharma to protect our mother and motherland. Talking time is over. We cannot remain silent and indifferent. We cannot remain spectators to see our mother attacked. Then I explained about 18 projects Global Hindu Heritage Foundation conducting in ten different States in Bharat and Bangladesh. I requested everyone to get involved and protect her as if it is his own mother. Otherwise, future of Bharat will face numerous problems.  {{album_1456}}
