[GHHF] First ever Hindu Meeting in Puri in Fisherman Colony. Started programs in Puri with two Pracharaks. Exhorted them to aware of Deceptive faiths.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to start our activities in Puri, Odisha with the appointment of two Pracharaks. Plans are underway to start Bala Samskar Kendras. It seems that there about 40,000 Telugus living in this area maintaining their roots. They are all Fishermen. Rajesh Thunuguntla and Rama Krishna Thota went to Puri few months ago met many people, community leaders and Hindu activists to launch few of our activities. They come realize that Christians are trying to take advantage of the weaknesses of Hindu Families and start conversion.  FIRST HINDU MEETING This is the first ever Hindu meeting ever held in Puri in this community. The have see many Christians organize many meetings talk about their religion. But no Hindu leaders have organized meeting to talk about what is happening to Bharat and Hindu community. Prakasarao Velagapudi expressed his happiness to see so many Hindus come together to attend the meeting. We all have to protect our selves from other religions. They are born only to see the demise of Sanatana Dharma. They attack out Temples, destroy our Murty’s and demonize our Murty worship. They will use any kind of trick to lure our Hindus. For Christians in India, it is a business. If there is no money is involved, there is no Christianity in India. There are about 100 Churches in Tirupati. Not a single Church was given permission to be built. Tirupati Urban Development Authority (TUDA) gave an Order requesting the Commissioner to demolish it since they were not authorized. So far, no action has been taken even after repeated efforts.  The brutality of Christians against Hindus is non-comparable. According to Dr. T. R. De Souza at least from 1540 onwards, ‘All the Hindu idols disappeared because all the temples were destroyed, their sites and building materials were fully utilized to erect new Christian Churches and chapels. Various viceregal and Church council decrees banished the Hindu priests from the Portuguese territories; the public practices of Hindu rites including marriage rites, were banned; the State took upon itself the task of bringing up Hindu orphan children to raise them as Christian; the Hindus were denied many types of employment, while the converted Christians were preferred; it was ensured that the Hindus would not harass those who became Christians, and on the contrary, the Hindus were obliged to assemble in Churches to listen to preaching or to the refutation of their religion’. The Big House with 200 cells The Inquisition Laws filled 230 over pages. The place where the Inquisition was conducted was known as the Big House and the proceedings were always behind closed shutters and closed doors. The screams of agony of men, women, and children could be heard in the streets, in the stillness of the night, as they were brutally interrogated, flogged, and slowly dismembered in front of their relatives. Eyelids were sliced off and extremities were amputated so carefully that a person could remain conscious, even though the only thing that remained was his torso and a head.We should monitor the activities of the missionaries in our community and see that they would not take advantage of our illiteracy. They have perfected the system and know how to trap our Hindus. Your donations are appreciated.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation was advocating the need to declare Tirumala, Tirupati, Tiruchanur (T3) as Punya Kshetra. We wanted start the movement from Tirupati. Hindu Mafia did not allow us to have the meeting resulting in the cancellation of our meeting three time. Finally, we had the meeting Navajeevan Blind Relief Center headed by Dr. Acharya.  Dr Prakasarao Velagapudi of GHHF, Chetan Gadi of HJJS, K Ravinder Reddy of Hindu JAC and, Venu Uppalancha of GHHF coordinated the meeting at Maruthi Garden in Lakdikapul in Hyderabad. About 25 organizations represented in the meeting. More than 30 representatives spoke on the occasion supporting the notion of T3 as Punya Kshetra. All the people who experienced the trauma in Tirupati decided that the issue of T3 as Punya Kshetra is not just a Tirupati issue. We need to take it to the Hindu community globally. Thus, it was decided to start with Hyderabad on December 22nd. More than 120 invited guests attended and pledged their support to protect T3.

[GHHF] Nandyala residents were asked to follow our Dharma to Protect Sanatana Dharma by countering the aggression of other faiths.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is pleased to see the progress of our activities in a very short period. We applaud our volunteers and the Bala Samskar Kendra teachers for their united effort to organize a large-scale gathering of more than 1000 people. Prakasarao Velagapudi briefly mentioned the origins of GHHF and its mission. It is committed to Articles 25 and 26, which grant authority to manage their own religious institutions. Christians and Muslims manage their institutions with no interference from the government.  But that is not the case with Hindus. The government took over the Hindu Temples and mismanaged the funds, diverting resources, grabbing the lands, and transferring the land to other departments. It is our responsibility to know how much governments have been causing havoc in the Hindu Community. We all need to face reality. Vote bank politics is hurting the sentiments of Hindus. You should ask every politician why they give so many privileges to minorities and question their neglect. Christians are going to each village and trying to convert as many people as possible. Many villages were converted by deceptive methods and threatening Hindu families. Why are we not taking the responsibility of protecting our Sanatana Dharma? We cannot be silent spectators to this deceptive game. We cannot be indifferent. We need to monitor our next-door neighbor to see how they may be deceived and converted. It is time to encounter these Christians and question their Bible. Our Pracharaks will give you a book comparing the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. Please familiarize yourself with the Bible and ask the missionaries about several problematic statements from it.                We are promoting Bhaja groups in all the villages where our Pracharaks have been working. Bringing people together is our objective. We discussed the benefits of performing bhajans.  Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] Love Sory disrupted, husband died, wife gets converted, and then she returned to Hinduism with our help to fulfill husband’s dream.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is pleased to share a beautiful story of conversion and reconversion to fulfill the husband's wish to build the Naga Temple (images of Nags on the granite slabs) on the main street in the village of Gajulapalli, Anantapur District. The story is interesting. The husband and wife were living in this village. Husband always wanted to build an open Temple in the village with Nagas sketched on a granite slab, and in husband planted a neem sapling on the main road. Both of them thought they would build this Naga Temple once the tree grows and provides ample shade for people to sit under. Unfortunately, he had died in his forties. The wife was alone, depressed, and brooding over her husband’s death. Christians realized the loneliness and depression the wife was experiencing and started talking to her by saying that Jesus would help her mentally and make her life worth living. Also, her economic condition would improve. She was trapped and converted her to Christianity. Years went by. Our Pracharaks learned about the Neem tree and what happened. Our four Pracharaks begin discussing how she can realize her husband's dream. Sri Gopi Chary garu and three Pracharaks spent several hours convincing her that his soul would be unhappy and she would be responsible if he did not go to heaven.   She decided not to deny her husband’s chances of going to Punya loka. She decided to return to Hinduism and fulfill her dead husband’s dream of building Naga Temple under the neem tree. Sri Gopi Chary and our Pracharaks helped to design the granite slab and inscribe the image of Nagas. Three different slabs were installed.  Sri Gopi Chary Garu did the Prana Pratishta to the three Naga Slabs. The villagers are pleased to sit under the shade of the Neem tree and enjoy the spiritual vibrations. GHHF played two crucial roles in the saga. 1) They convinced her to embrace Hinduism to fulfill her husband’s dream. 2) They performed Prana Pratishta to these three images of Nagas.

GHHF Was Instrumental in providing metal shelter, water and food to tortoise at Sri Kurmam Temple in Srikakulam in 2011.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation was instrumental in obtaining a G. O. from Endowments Department to provide metal shelter, food and water to tortoise. I along with Rajesh Thunuguntla and Karimulla visited Sri Kurmam Temple on December 15 and saw firsthand the facilities provided to tortoise. We were happy to see the facility and the tortoise who are enjoying the vibration of Lord Kurma. Please read the summary of what GHHF has done to get the shelter for tortoise to protect them from dying due to hot weather.  For full report can be accessed at Savetemples website published on February 24, 2011 The STORY Sri Kamal Kumar Swami called (Global Hindu Heritage Foundation) on February 22, 2011, in the middle of the night and informed me that a problem was brewing at Sri Kurmanadha Temple regarding the removal of star tortoises. He mentioned that the Forest Department was planning to remove all the tortoises that are gathered at the Temple complex. It is amazing to know that the tortoise instead of staying in the nearby forest, they come to Sri Kurmanadha Temple as if the Temple is their abode. It has been going on for centuries. There must be some divine reasons as to what they gather at this Temple. How many Temples either in India or other countries, you will witness such a situation? Why will no other Temple experience this kind of situation even though many Temples are located in the forests and on the banks of rivers? There must be a divine reason.  We can only surmise that these tortoises probably have the sixth sense to recognize that this Temple was dedicated to them only. This is the age-old tradition; we must follow, preserve and continue for generations to come to harbor the tortoises. The tortoises wanted to be part of the Temple and stay near the Temple. In fact, that the Temple has a budget of 30,000 Rupees to take care of them by providing water and food to them. An agency by the name Green Mercy has complained to the Temple authorities about the ill treatment of these tortoises by saying that they are not properly fed and not allocated proper place for them to stay. Failing to get proper attention from the Temple authorities to address the issue, Green Mercy informed the Forest Department. According to Wildlife Protection Act nobody can keep the forest animals or creatures that live in the forest without proper permission from the Central government. Knowing this Act, many Temples have sought permission to keep elephants in their Temple premises for ceremonial purposes. Sri Kurmanatha Temple never obtained permission to keep the tortoise in the Temple complex. Consequently, if complained, the Forest Department can collect the tortoise and leave them in the forests hoping that they are safe in that habitat. By doing so, the age-old custom of devotees having darshan of living tortoise will be discontinued forever. Many devotees will be denied the opportunity to feed them also. The villagers were very upset knowing that these tortoises may be removed from the Temple premises. They felt that some bad might happen to them if the removal took place. They approached Sanyasi Appa Rao, State Secretary of HDPS and Sri Kamal Kumar Swami, President of HDPS, who along with a number of concerned villagers filed a case in the High Court to prevent the removal. Based on the information provided by Sri Sanyasi Appa Rao and Sri Kamal Kumar Swami, I contacted the following officers who have made the difference in highlighting the concerns of the villagers as well as preserving the traditions of the Temple. 1) Lalitha Kumari, Village Sarpanchi, 2) K V. Ramana Murthy, Green Mercy, 3) Muthyla Rao, Assistant Commissioner, Endowment Department, 4) Prasad Batnaik, EO of Sri Kurmanatha Temple, 5) N. Srikath, Collector of the District, 6) Hitesh Malhotra, Forest Department All these officers we talked to were very much concerned about the possible implications of the removal of tortoise both spiritually and practically as well as the safety of the tortoises. There are also other departments we contacted with no success. Many of them we contacted are not in a position to reverse the decision of the Forest Department. Finally, I called Sri K V Ramanacharya, Principal Secretary and informed him about importance of long-established tradition of preserving the tortoise. His grasp was quick and response was crisp. He said that he would take care of the matter immediately. We were not sure what he meant by that response. To pursue the matter, we called the Assistant commissioner of Endowment within ten minutes.  By then, K V Ramanachary already called and asked the Assistant Commissioner and Executive Officer to send a report about the situation and take necessary steps to protect the tortoise and preserve the tradition of providing shelter to the tortoise. Appropriate G O was issued within hours.  We are grateful for the prompt response and sincere efforts of K V Ramanachary. Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] Conducted Sri Venkateswara Kalyanam and inaugurated a Library for Youth in Chinnampally village, Shettur Mandal in Andhra

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to visit six villages where we are conducting more than 25 Bala Samskar Kendras. We have six Pracharaks going village by village educating the Hindus about the potential danger of being snatched away by other faiths. We came to Chinnampally village to participate in Sri Venkateswara Kalyanam. Sri Venkateswara Swamy Kalyana Mahotsavam was held in Chinnampally village of Shettur mandal with great pomp as requested by the villagers. GHHF immediately requested our Priest Sri Gopi Charu Garu to perform the Kalyanam for the welfare of the villagers and the whole humanity.  This program is also being organized by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and is being organized completely free of cost by visiting the villages.  Sri Venkateswara and Padmavati Kalyanam hold immense spiritual and social significance in Hindu tradition, particularly in the Kali Yuga as it is believed to bring universal peace and individual prosperity. Symbolically, the wedding represents the eternal bond between the human soul (Atma or Jivatma) and the Supreme Soul (Paramatma). The primary intent behind conducting the ritual is "Loka Kalyanam," or the well-being of all humanity. It is performed to invoke divine blessings for world peace and protection from evil forces. Participating in or witnessing the ceremony is believed to lead devotees on a path of devotion (bhakti) and eventually to moksha (liberation from the cycle of birth and death). Lord Venkateswara is known as Nitya Kalyana Priya (one who loves daily celebrations), and performing this seva is considered a way to seek His immediate grace.  Inauguration of Library to Youth. Later, realizing that there are many educated youth in Chinnampally village who are facing difficulties in participating in competitive exams due to lack of proper books, all the village committee members on behalf of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation worked together and started a library at the Venkateswara Swamy temple by collecting all the competitive exam books. We will be collecting and sending books to the library. Prakasarao Velagapudi, the President of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation inaugurated the library in the premise of Sri Venkateswara Temple. All the villagers honored Velagapudi Prakash Rao for setting up the library and expressed their gratitude. Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] Year End Annual Donation requested to continue 16 activities in Bharat, USA and Bangladesh.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was founded in 2006 to support the preservation, promotion, and maintenance of Hindu culture, temples, and institutions internationally. To achieve this objective, GHHF is conducting about 14 activities at the grassroots (village) level to make Hindus aware of the richness of Hinduism, making them proud of their culture, stopping Christianization of the villages, equipping the children with scientific, spiritual, and religious significance of Hinduism, and many more as listed below. One ounce of activity is worth tons of talking. 1. Ghar Wapasi: to protect our Hindus from conversion and welcome back to Hinduism those who were converted to Christianity. Twenty-two Pracharaks work in six different states, educating our Hindus about the difference between Hinduism and Christianity, giving tips on how to encounter missionaries, and preparing Hindus to act like Hindus with pride. 30+ Pracharaks work daily to make Hindus realize the greatness of our culture and welcome back those converted Christians to Hinduism. 2. Bala Samskar Kendras: 175 schools started in nine different states and Bangladesh to educate our children about the richness and greatness of Sanatana Dharma. A detailed syllabus has been created to educate individuals on local customs, festivals, the sacrifices made by national heroes, the teachings of prominent Maharishis, the cultural significance of the Ramayana and Mahabharata, moral stories, and the practice of Surya Namaskaras. The institution has an enrolment of approximately 4,500 students. 3. Grama Devata Temples: are being renovated to preserve village deities' culture and ensure village safety. More than 45 Grama Devatas were renovated to ensure the continuity of ancient culture. About 60 Grama Devatas have been constructed. 4. Annadanam: It is a regular feature that provides annadanam to deserving people. During COVID-19, GHHF provided annadanam to more than 2 lakh people. Also provided dry goods sufficient for one month for more than 1000 Priest families and gave $5,000 to more than 150 poor priests. In the USA, we provided meals for one month to the First Respondents in appreciation of their dedicated service 5. Sponsor a Priest: Employing unemployed Priests to open Temples that were closed due to financial difficulties. Visit each family in the village, invite them to the Temple, organize Bhajans, and teach mantras to chant. 6. Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam: Providing necessary puja items to village Temples that could not light the lamps in the villages. More than 1000 Temples received Puja items. 7. Intinta Shiva Abhishekam: was started to perform rituals in the homes of poor, Dalit, and tribal communities to foster appreciation for traditions and unite these groups. 8. Cow Puja and Protection: prevented the transportation of and slaughtering of cows; supported more than 25 gaushalas, sponsoring and maintaining the cows in the largest Gaushala in Memphis, TN, USA. 9. Animal Welfare: In summer, many animals lack food and water. To ensure the basic needs of the cows, monkeys, dogs, birds, etc., GHHF made water Tubs specially on this purpose, and filled them with water every day for more than two months each year. 10. Water Pandals (Chalivendras): opened in about 30 centers to provide water and buttermilk in the Summertime in 2024. We rented water tanks and sourced water from nearby wells, ensuring that the pandals were replenished approximately every three months. 11. Imprint “Jai Sri Ram”: in villages to create a sense of identity among Hindus – more than 2 lakh houses, walls, electrical poles, autos, etc., in more than 500 villages. More than 200 volunteers have signed up to help with this project. 12. Tailoring training for women: We are empowering these women, who face many challenges due to financial difficulties, through a tailoring training program. Bought 8 professional machines, and training 16 women every two months. This program not only provides skills but also encourages them to become economically independent and live with self-confidence. 13. Microphone sets to promote Bhajans: We are continuously striving for the propagation of Hindu Dharma and the development of temples by organizing Bhajans to create devotion. As part of this effort, we are providing free microphone sets to temples at the request of local communities. Supplied more than 100 Mic sets so far. Microphone sets for temples are not just objects; they are powerful tools for spiritual propagation. 14. Flood Relief: GHHF provided food, baby food, water bottles, and fodder for animals to the flood victims in Assam and Andhra Pradesh. Recently, in Assam, we provided 67,000 meals, baby food for 134 children, and fodder for 65 cows, covering 77 villages. 15. Environmental Protection: Summer heat waves are causing health problems through dehydration, exhaustion, and loss of electrolytes. We can address the issue by planting more trees. We have been planting many trees in Assam and Andhra Pradesh for the last four years. In Anantapur, more than 1,000 trees were planted, while in Assam, 750 saplings were planted. 3,000 eco-friendly Ganesh idols were distributed. Also, GHHF celebrates World Environmental Day every year. 16. Help Hindus in Bangladesh: Hindus in Bangladesh are facing severe violence, including attacks on homes, temples, and businesses.

[GHHF] Ghar Wapsi in Rompa Chodavaram – 15 converted Christians retuned to Hinduism; shared their experiences.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to announce that 15 converted Christians returned to Sanatana Dharma. Originally, we planned for about 70 to embrace Hinduism. Because of death to the members of these reconverted Hindu, they could not attend the ceremony. The program was converted in the main hall of Sri Rama Temple. Each of them sat and performed Shodasa upachara Puja guided by one our priests. Our Prachark and his team worked very hard helping them to know the richness of Sanatana dharma. Rajesh talked about the tactics other religions use and how they exploit the innocent people. Hindus should be aware of the differences between Hinduism and Christianity. Prakasarao Velagapudi expressed happiness for their return to their mother that is Sanatan Dharma and talked about the decline of Christianity in USA. At the time he went to USA in 1965, more than 80 percent Christians used to go to the Church every week. As t in it. the time went by people started realizing the message of Bible and started questing what is written in it. With increased education and exposure to Hindu way of life, the going to church declined to about 40 percent. As a result, many churches are being closed and were put on stage. Many Hindus in different cities in USA are buying the churches and converting them to Hindu Temples. Our values are different. We do not abuse others. We do not condemn other religions. We do not kill and abuse others. Sanatana Dharma is like our mother. We respect our mother. We believe in Matru devo bhava, Pitru devo bhava, acharya devo bhava and atidhi devo bhava. They are all embodiments of God. We respect them, honor them and we will stand by them.  Since you are all coming back to your mother – Sanatan Dharma – we will honor them with new clothes. Ladies were given Sarees and dhotis. Later we had a sumptuous lunch. We were reminiscing about the good old days; how happy they were and how they were lead to a different path. They all returned to their mother after a brief hiatus.  Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] Visited Nanjapuram village that remains all Hindu, helped to build a metal cover in front of the Temple where we started Bhajan Mandal

The villagers erected a sign on the highway saying that “This is a Hindu Village. No other faith are allowed to do any propagation.” It is written in English and Telugu languages.  On November 24th morning we visited the village of Nanjapuram in Brahmasamudram mandal, Andhra Pradesh. In this village, people decided that no other religious faith is allowed to enter the village for conversion or propagation of other faiths. Thus, everyone unitedly drove away those who came for religious propagation, not giving space to people of other religions. However, they asked the elders of the organization two requests: a board saying that people of other religions should not enter our village and a bhajan program was organized in front of the Thimmappa temple, which we worship very much. Before it was completely completed, we were in trouble during the rainy season because the front of the temple is open and it is not suitable to sit when it rains. Therefore, the elders of the organization were asked to set up a bhajan mandapam in front of the temple.  The village leaders approached GHHF though our volunteers – Gopi Chary, Arjun, Hanumanth, Nagarjun and Ravi. Velagapudi Prakash Rao immediately responded and a board saying that the propagation of other religions is prohibited in that village and a bhajan mandapam was set up in front of the Thimmappa temple by placing petals. To express their gratitude for setting up the bhajan mandapam, the villagers all got together and invited the elders of the organization to their village. The Bhajan Mandapam was inaugurated by Velagapudi Prakash Rao. Sri Gopi Chary performed the puja in the Temple and distributed prasadam. Later, all the villagers assembled in front of the temple under a newly built cover. In this village our team headed by Ravi started the Bhaja Mandal where they sing bhajan on a regular basis.  GHHF also started Bala Samskar Kendra where we had about 30 students enrolled. The all came that day showed their talents singing patriotic songs and other slokas they learned in the class. We were impressed and happy to know that villagers are taking full advantage of our programs. Your donations are appreciated.
