"In the great books of India, an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence, which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the questions that exercise us." Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Author The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is excited to meet approximately 20 youth leaders who have expressed interest in serving Sanatana Dharma and Bharata Mata. About a month ago, the BSR party of Telangana State celebrated 50 years of movement in Dallas, Texas. At that time, many political leaders came and visited the Hanuman Temple. At that time, many of them visited our house, accompanied by local youth leaders. They come to what GHHF is doing at the ground level and how we are protecting the villages from being converted. The local youth expressed interest in joining our movement and assisting with social media and spreading the word about our activities to the youth.                 One of our active leaders, Puneeth Pantha, took the responsibility of coordinating this meeting on June 28 at our house. Prakasarao Velagapudi, assisted by Prashant Nanganuri and Chandrakant Reddy, welcomed the youth leaders and traced the history of GHHF over the last 19 years. 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. Prakasarao said he retired from teaching after 36 years of service in 2006 and went to India, thinking of traveling and visiting pilgrimage places. As the adage goes, 'man proposes, God disposes.' On August 23rd at 7:23 am, he was reading Eenadu Telugu newspaper and was shocked to read that the Andhra Pradesh government issued Government Order 21 allowing the government to allocate crores of rupees for the construction of new churches and renovation of old churches. Socked by the news, he went to the High Court and got a Stay Order. Then he returned to the USA and, along with highly committed Hindu activists, founded the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. The mission of GHHF is to protect, preserve, promote, and maintain Hindu culture, Hindu temples, mutts, peethams, endowments, Trusts, and other institutions globally. To achieve this objective, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was established to take the necessary and appropriate non-violent actions against all laws, policies, and activities undertaken by any government, individuals, and/or organizations that adversely affect the Hindu religion, Hindu Temples, and other Hindu institutions. One of the main goals is to take necessary legal steps to abolish the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Acts across India and ensure all the Hindu Temples and other Hindu institutions become independent of state government control. Just as other religions and their facilities are independent of government control, the Hindu religion and its facilities should be independent. GHHF will remain cognizant of the status of Hindu culture and Hindu Temples globally and take necessary action to eliminate discriminatory practices.                 He mentioned some of the achievements over the last 19 years and shared the document with details. He mentioned a few activities GHHF is conducting in nine different States in Bharat and Bangladesh. They are: Ghar Waapasi, Bala Samskar Kendras, Grama Devata renovation and revival, Annadanam, Sponsor a Priest, Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam, Intinta Shiva Abhishekam, Cow puja and protection, Animal welfare, Flood relief, Environmental protection, Imprinting Jai Sri Ram and Chalivendras (Water pendals). We showed a 20-minute YouTube video produced by Mana TV explaining the activities being conducted in the Anantapur District. Many of them expressed their desire to participate in our movement. We thanked them for their willingness to participate in the endeavor.

(NOTE: Sri Pawan Kalyan mage a statement saying that that “I respect Christianity, Islam. My plea is don't disrespect my faith." on June 22.  On June 25th, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has written a letter describing true nature of both Christianity and Islam. I am sending that letter in two parts. This is Part 1 of the letter. Thanks) Dear Sri Pawan Kalyan Garu: Subject: Christians and Muslims never respected Hinduism for more than 1000 years; They will never do. Please devise plans to deal with their disrespect, hatred, concealment, and terror. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very proud of your commitment to protect and preserve Sanatana Dharma. Over the last year, you have created a sense of belonging among Hindus. We are guided by Dharmic values such as ahimsa, tolerance, patience, and accommodation. Christianity is characterized by rampant conversion, exploitation, illegal occupation of lands, illegal construction, and deception. Islam by terror, torture, destruction, killing, raping, love jihad, sharia law, Jizya taxes, and forced conversion. But it is painful to read your statement issued on June 22, 2025, at Muruga Bhakthargal Maanaduin in Chennai, that “I respect Christianity, Islam. My plea is don't disrespect my faith." You even stated addressing these two religions, “You may not respect my faith, but don't disrespect it." How long will Bharath survive the ever-increasing number of Abrahamic people, their hatred, their terror, their deception, and their longing to see the demise of Hinduism? Then there are ‘fake secularists’ who are willing to stab their own mother, sell her to these two religions to satisfy their greed for money, power, and position. They have been disrespecting the Hindu faith for about 1000 years. There is a written history documenting their attempts to dismantle Akhand Bharat and the methods they employed to achieve it. The entire continent of Asia, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, and parts of Russia, was part of Akhand Bharat. Now we are clinging to Bharat, which is about 15 Percent of Akhand Bharat. There is no guarantee that we will be able to protect Bharat to say that Hindus have a country. Muslims have about 58 countries, and Christians have hundreds in their belt. Do Hindus ever learn from 1000 years of history? Do we ever remember our forefathers who sacrificed their lives to enjoy the fruits of Sanatana Dharma? Do we ever acknowledge the sacrifices of national heroes who sacrificed their lives for us to enjoy freedom? Do we ever remember the estimated 200 million who were killed because they refused to convert to Islam or Christianity? Can we forget those historical, spiritual, and religious structures that were attacked, demolished, and disrespected by building mosques on the broken pieces of our Gods and Goddesses? Can we ever overlook what happened in the Hindu Kush mountains and the Goa Inquisition? Even a cursory review of these two Abrahamic religions reveals their brutality, cruelty, hatred, and intention to wipe out Hinduism and humanity. See what Muslims are saying? “Muslims ruled India for 1000 years. They beheaded lakhs of Hindus. Millions of Hindus were converted to Islam. They broke India into pieces and snatched Pakistan and Bangladesh. They demolished 2000 temples and built mosques here. Even today, Hindus raise the slogan that Hindus and Muslims are brothers out of fear of us. This is the power of Islam.” Maulana Jhakir Naik, Mumbai. We can see that they do not hide their intention to wipe out Hinduism, root out the roots of Sanatana Dharma, and establish an Islamic State and enforce Sharia law. What does Christianity stand for? About Christianity, Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States, stated that “Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burnt, tortured, fined, and imprisoned; yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one-half the world fools and the other half hypocrites. To support roguery and error all over the earth. Let us look at what each Religion has in store for Hinduism 1. CHRISTIANITY Bible God does not respect us We are all sinners to begin with. Unless we surrender to Jesus, He would not recommend to the Father a place in heaven. Christians believe that Jesus gave them the right to deceive, convert, subjugate, conquer, and proselytize any nation or religion by all possible means. They are entitled to such methods as allurement, fraud, coercion, and violence in converting, but they criticize Hindus even if they talk about their atrocities of conversion. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher “I call Christianity the one great curse, the one great intrinsic depravity, the one great instinct for revenge for which no expedient is sufficiently poisonous, secret, subterranean, petty-I call it the one mortal blemish of mankind. In Christianity neither morality nor religion come into contact with reality at any point.” Swami Dayananda Saraswati equated the Christian fanatical aggressiveness to the declaration of war, and war is synonymous with violence. He said that "conversion is an act of violence…aggressive religions have no God-given right to destroy ancient faiths and cultures… it is an act of violence because it hurts deeply, not only the other members of the family of the converted, but the entire community that comes to know of it. When the hurt becomes acute, it explodes into violence…humanity cannot afford to lose any more of its existing religious traditions.” Swami Dayananda Saraswati organized an Interfaith dialogue for about ten years to foster common understanding among all religions and proposed a resolution that states, “We Respect All Religions.” Christians and Muslims rejected the resolution, saying that they would not respect Hinduism 1) We must hate our Parents to be Jesus’ disciples As per Jesus, one must hate his / her parents if they want to believe in Jesus. He also says that “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple.” (Luke 14:25). “Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;” (Matthew 10:37). “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.” (Matthew 23:9-10) a Hindu who believes in “Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava,” this is an affront to the morals and dignity of human beings. It is outrageous to think that any God would hate the parents because people loved their parents more than they loved Jesus himself. 2) Jealous Jesus says our Murtis must be burned down The Bible explicitly talks about idolatry. It is detestable. It says not to bow down to the idols, not to worship them, burn the Temples, break down the Murtis, smash them to the ground, and punish them for 3-4 generations. Let us look at these pertinent verses: “You must burn their idols in fire, and you must not covet the silver or gold that covers them. You must not take it, or it will become a trap to you, for it is detestable to the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 4:25); “You shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, (Deuteronomy 5:9); "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me. (Exodus 20:3 -5) Zechariah 13:2 "On that day, I will banish the names of the idols from the land, and they will be remembered no more," declares the LORD Almighty. "I will remove both the prophets and the spirit of impurity from the land 3) Idolaters to Be Put to Death And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die, because he hath sought to thrust thee away from the LORD thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. (Deuteronomy 13:10,11) Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which hath committed that wicked thing (worshipping the idol), unto thy gates, even that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die. (Deuteronomy 17:5) 4) Smash the Idols So, all the people of the land went to the temple of Baal and tore it down. They smashed the altars and idols to pieces, and they killed Mattan the priest of Baal in front of the altars. And Jehoiada the priest posted guards for the house of the LORD. (2 Kings 11:18) Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods--atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree. Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place. (Deuteronomy 12:2) 5) Rebellious Sons must be stoned to Death Deuteronomy 21:18-21 says: “If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey his father and mother, who does not heed them when they discipline him, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his town at the gate of that place. They shall say to the elders of his town, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of the town shall stone him to death. So, you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel will hear and be afraid. 6) The Bible teaches to hate Parents Christians tend to demonize Hinduism and do not respect any other religion. Intolerant Christians say that all other religions are incomplete, and their followers go to hell and burn eternally for not accepting Jesus. Non-Christians will either go to hell or be condemned. They will not be saved. Jesus is the only Father, not your real father “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.” Matthew 23:9-10 “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple. (Luke 14:25) Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant? (Deuteronomy 33:9) 7) Came to Divide, not to Bring Peace “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follows me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:34-39). 8) A blasphemer must be put to death "Take the blasphemer outside the camp and have all who heard him lay their hands on his head; then have the whole assembly stone at him. (Leviticus 24:14) And the LORD said to Moses, "The man must surely be put to death. The whole congregation is to stone him outside the camp." (Numbers 15:35) Dear friends: Have you ever heard any Christian saying that we respect Hinduism? Never in the history. Christians have changed the demography of the globe by establishing its faith in hundreds of countries. Why do we still think that we respect their religion when it’s Bible clearly tells it’s faithful to convert everyone and break all our idols, wipe out the sinners. Meaning Hindus. When do we wake up. It will be too late if we do not wake up.  (NOTE: Part 2 of the article will be posted tomorrow.)

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to transmit the richness of our culture to our children, make the proud of their history, inspire them to emulate the national heroes who sacrificed their life for the country and make them the model Hindus to work for the welfare of the humanity. One of the national heroes they learned about is Vanchinathan. Vanchinathan: Flame of Patriotism Once upon a time, there was a boy named Sankaran in our Tamil Nadu. He was very cultured, had great respect for his country and his traditions. He grew up listening to his elders and having good habits from a young age. Although his real name was Sankaran, history remembered him as Vanchinathan. When Vanchinathan grew up, he worked in the Travancore Forest Department. In those days, our country was ruled by white people, that is, the British. They were plundering our country's wealth and treating our people as slaves. They wanted to destroy our Hindu religion and our traditions. Vanchinathan did not like this at all. His anger and pain were increasing day by day. In particular, there was a white collector named Ashe. This Ashe was very wicked. He used to torture our people a lot. He used to suppress those who were fighting for freedom. At that time, a great leader named Chidambaram Pillai had set up a shipping company (Swadeshi Steam Navigation Company) for the people of our country. Ashe made many efforts to close that company. He troubled the workers. He unjustly sent Chidambaram Pillai to jail. These things hurt Vanchinathan a lot. "Something must be done about these people who are hurting our people so much!" Vanchinathan thought firmly in his mind. Moreover, at that time, King George V of England was coming to our country. "Why should we welcome the king of those who see our country as slaves when he comes to our country? We should protest!" Vanchinathan thought. He combined these two to warn Ashe and protest the visit of King George V. He made a solid plan. He took gun training from a teacher named V.V.S. Iyer. He joined an organization called "Bharat Mata Sangam" and strengthened his goal. It was June 17, 1911. That day, Collector Ashe was traveling in a train with his wife. The train reached Maniachi station. Vanchinathan was also in the same train. As soon as the train stopped, he went to the special coach where Ashe was sitting. Without any fear, he shot Ashe with the gun in his hand. As soon as this incident happened, Vanchinathan knew that the police would arrest him. But, he was not afraid. Thinking, "My life is for this country!", he shot himself with the same gun and died on the spot. He was only 25 years old at that time! How young he was to sacrifice his life for the country! Before Vanchinathan died, he kept a small letter in his pocket. In that letter, he wrote: "I offer my life as a small gift to my motherland. I alone am responsible for this deed I have done." The letter further reads: "The white men from England are trying to invade our India and destroy our Sanatan Dharma. Every Indian should drive these white men out. We should bring independence to our country. Sanatan Dharma should be re-established. In this holy land, once ruled by great kings like Shri Ram, Shri Krishna and Chhatrapati Shivaji, they are trying to crown a man named George V, who eats beef. In our Hindu culture, cows are worshipped as mothers and are very sacred to them. It is an insult to our religion to crown such a man who eats beef in our country. Three thousand people have vowed to kill George V as soon as he sets foot in our country. Everyone in Hindustan should consider this their duty. I have done this to say that all those who want to enslave this great land will be doomed. Vande Mataram!" In memory of this great sacrifice made by Vanchinathan, the name of the Maniachchi railway station was changed to Vanchinathan. Attempts to distort history and our responsibility Children, our great patriots like Vanchinathan risked their lives to bring about independence. But recently, some people are trying to deliberately distort this history. For example, in Palayamkottai, Tamil Nadu, members of an English church paid floral tributes to the grave of British Collector Ashe. They are wrongly saying that Ashe was a very good officer, that the British government did a lot of good for our country, and that people like Vanchinathan are racists. The important thing we need to know is that some of those who are making such wrong statements are converts. Converting religions creates a wrong ideology for some people that British rule is good and that India's freedom struggle is not necessary. This leads to ignoring our Sanatana Dharma and the culture of the country. They are deliberately distorting our history and belittling the sacrifices of our real heroes. This is misleading our youth. What is our responsibility? It is the responsibility of all of us to know the true history of the sacrifices made by many for the freedom of our country. The sacrifice of someone like Vanchinathan was not just the killing of a person, it was a great struggle for the freedom of India and for the protection of Sanatan Dharma. Despite such false propaganda, the sacrifices of true patriots like Vanchinathan will continue to inspire generations.

Guwahati, Assam: Under the aegis of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), an organization dedicated to the preservation of Sanatana Dharma and the revival of Indian culture and heritage, its youth wing, Hindu Yuva Manch (HYM), is actively engaged in various programs across Assam. As part of this significant endeavor, a crucial one-day training camp for village-level coordinators was successfully organized in Guwahati on June 22, 2025. This camp marks a strong step towards fostering awareness and collective strength within the Hindu community across Assam. Building Leadership: Action from the Village Level The training camp saw the enthusiastic participation of 83 dedicated village coordinators from 22 different villages across Assam. While each village typically has 10-12 HYM members, for this camp, 3-4 of the most important and responsible workers were specially selected from each village. These chosen leaders will guide their respective HYM teams in their villages, playing a pivotal role in effectively implementing grassroots programs. The entire event was overseen by Mr. Samrat, President of GHHF Assam. Comprehensive Training: Brainstorming on Practical Aspects The training camp, which lasted for about four hours, was not limited to mere lectures but served as a platform for extensive brainstorming on practical aspects. Through these discussions and workshops, activists were equipped with the skills to address challenges faced at the grassroots level and strategies to overcome them. The key topics discussed included: 1. HYM Expansion into New Areas: Detailed guidelines were provided on how to establish Hindu Yuva Manch units and form committees in new villages. This is a fundamental aspect of organizational strengthening. 2. Effective Communication with Cadres: The importance of personal connections and continuous communication with every activist was emphasized, as the strength of the organization lies in its workers. This boosts team spirit and commitment. 3. Conducting Monthly Meetings: Training was provided on the mandatory conduct of at least one meeting per month in every village to review progress and formulate future plans for systematic action. 4. Organizing Hindu Jagran Sabhas: Guidance was given on how to successfully organize Hindu Jagran Sabhas (awakening assemblies) in villages to raise awareness about Hindu religious and cultural values and promote unity among the people. 5. Protests and Legal Actions: Legal awareness was imparted on how to organize protests effectively when necessary to address social injustices and illegal activities, and how to draft First Information Reports (FIRs) efficiently. 6. Utilizing Media and Social Media: Training was provided on how to effectively use media, publicity, and modern social media platforms to disseminate information about the positive work being done by GHHF and HYM to a wider audience. 7. Awareness and Action against Love Jihad: Clear directives and action plans were explained on how to conduct door-to-door awareness campaigns on social issues like "Love Jihad," support victims, remain vigilant against missionary conversion activities, and counter them effectively. 8. Other Important Matters: In addition to the main topics mentioned above, various challenges encountered at the grassroots level and ways to effectively overcome them were discussed. Future Vision: A Strengthened Hindu Society This comprehensive training camp provided the Hindu Yuva Manch village coordinators not only with theoretical knowledge but also with practical skills and confidence. After the camp, lunch was arranged for the activists, after which they departed for their respective villages. Through this training, GHHF and Hindu Yuva Manch are laying a strong foundation for the preservation of Hindu Dharma and cultural revival programs in the state of Assam. It is hoped that these trained activists will serve as the backbone in their villages, fostering unity and awareness within the Hindu community, and playing a crucial role in taking the GHHF's objectives to the people. This will undoubtedly mark the beginning of a new chapter for Hindu religious and social service in Assam. Seeking Your Support... Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extensively conducting various grassroots programs, including Bala Samskar Kendras (Children's Cultural Centers), not only in Assam but also across various states in India (Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Assam) and in Bangladesh.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and Dharma Jagruti Foundation are conducting Sanatana Dharma Summer classes for youth and adults for 12 months. These classes started on May 25th and will continue every Sunday until the end of August. On June 22, we conducted our class on Yoga and Meditation. “If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.”– Ramana Maharshi Paramahansa Yogananda recognized the difficulty and compared the controlling mind with impossible incidents as follows:  “You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”  If the mind is that difficult to control, what can be done to quell, still or silence the mind. Patanjali Yoga Sutras written sometime between 500 BCE and 400 BCE. It contains four chapters containing 195 Sutras (aphorisms). The whole book hinges on the second sutra “yogah citta-vá¹›tti-nirodhaḥ.”(“Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind”).  Yoga means of “joining the individual soul to the universal soul” or removing the barriers between the two souls to become one.   Why is Meditation practiced? More than 35 million Americans have considered giving meditation a try. That means, nearly 15 percent of the US population practices meditation and Yoga. It is believed and proved that daily meditation can improve the quality of life. For students it relieves stress and improves their academic life.  Research by several universities has documented the benefits of Meditation. TSoM Team has summarized them as follows: •    Benefits of meditation and yoga •    Boosts student performance and overall academic improvement; •    Improves memory, attention span and body posture in students (both adults and children); •    Helps students gain the determination to achieve their goals thereby transforming them into better students; •    Aids students in maintaining their health and getting back their ideal body shape; •    Alleviates psychological pressure in students that are capable of triggering various symptoms of depression; •    Enhances communication skills in students that can enable them to build communities with like-minded people; •    Calms down frustration among students who suffer from instability of their emotional well-being; •    Helps students abstain from unhealthy or dangerous habits such as addiction to drugs, smoking or alcohol; •    Improves the quality of sleep; •    Increases self-confidence and quality of relationships that you make with other people; •    Instils compassion and perseverance among students. Students and Meditation     Improved concentration– It leads to better grades, balanced blood pressure, decreased absenteeism and tardiness, improved interpersonal relations, and enhanced confidence level, sleep, relief from a headache, improved calmness and a sharper mind.     Flexibility– Yet another advantage of practicing yoga regularly is the flexibility of the body. Stretching the muscles through yoga poses releases the lactic acid that builds up within your body preventing stiffness, pain, fatigue and tension that can really be painful at times. Stretching increases joint lubrication and stretches the soft tissues of your body. For students playing sports, yoga can decrease the risk of injury through increased range of motion and less fatigue.     Concentration and sharpness– Meditation and yoga have proved to be of great importance in increasing concentration and sharpness of the brain. Balanced blood pressure, arthritis and asthma can also be controlled through yoga. •    What Are The 20 Benefits of Meditation for Students?  1. Reduces stress by lowering cortisol levels.  2. Improves stress management skills.  3. Boosts mood, making you feel happier.  4. Retrains your brain for better focus and concentration.  5. Good for your heart and lowers blood pressure.  6. Helps break bad habits. 7. Enhances relationships.  8. Increases focus and academic performance in students.  9. Builds self-confidence and self-esteem.  10. Supports better sleep.  11. Improves mental clarity and overall mental health.  12. Reduces anxiety, self-doubt, and peer pressure.  13. Increases memory and attention span. 14. Promotes restorative sleep.  15. Decreases anxiety, stress, and muscle tension.  16. Slows heart rate and improves exercise tolerance.  17. Helps with physical relaxation.  18. Reduces high blood pressure.  19. Lowers levels of blood lactate, decreasing anxiety attacks.  20. Decreases muscle tension and improves overall well-being. •    How Can Meditation Benefit Students In Their Academic Performance? •    Meditation improves focus, time management, self-confidence, and academic performance, leading to better grades.  A total of 36 programs that are currently offering school-based yoga programming, with nearly 5400 yoga instructors reaching students in more than 940 schools across the United States. Twelve published studies suggested that the yoga interventions in the schools exerted positive effects on several factors, including emotional balance, attentional control, cognitive efficiency, anxiety, negative thought patterns, emotional and physical arousal, reactivity, and negative behavior. Additional research has also revealed positive effects for school-based yoga on such factors as concentration, self-regulation, attention, anxiety, stress, mood, resilience, emotional arousal, self-esteem, and coping frequency.

(NOTE: It was part of a Summer Sanatan Class conducting ever Sundy. We talked about the importance Homa and Agnihotra rituals practiced by Temples and individuals. Just to prove how a 5000-year-old ritual is kept alive in Kerala and how scientific it is.) In April 2011, the sleepy village of Panjal in Kerala came alive with sacred chants, ritual fires, and the collective hopes of thousands. The occasion: Athirathram, one of the world’s oldest and most complex Vedic rituals, performed after a 35-year hiatus. Revered as the ultimate expression of Vedic spirituality, this 12-day fire ceremony was not only a religious spectacle but also a bridge between ancient tradition and modern scientific inquiry. Organized by the Varthathe Trust, Athirathram 2011 drew over 300,000 visitors from across India and abroad. The ritual, dating back to at least the 10th century BCE, integrates the chanting of Rig, Sama, and Yajur Vedas, offerings into a meticulously constructed fire altar, and a ceremonial burning of the Yagashala (ritual hall) on the final night. Held at the Lakshmi Narayana temple precincts, the event was presided over by Yajamana Ramanujan Akkithiripad and his wife, as per sacred tradition. What astonished many was the sudden downpour that drenched the altar during the concluding rites, following days of dry, hot weather. The rain’s timing evoked memories of similar phenomena during previous Athirathrams in 1975, 1990, and 2006. Many devotees interpreted the rain as divine acknowledgment of the ritual’s success. But Athirathram 2011 was not just a spiritual or cultural celebration—it was a field of study. A team led by Dr. V.P.M. Nampoothiri, former director of the International School of Photonics at Cochin University, conducted atmospheric and biological research during the event. Their focus: the impact of Vedic mantras and sacrificial fire on the environment, microorganisms, plant life, and even the mental state of participants. Noted scholars from institutions like Harvard, Berkeley, and Kyoto Sangyo University attended, fascinated by the unbroken continuity of oral Vedic traditions. Indologist Prof. Frits Staal, who had documented the 1975 Athirathram in his seminal two-volume work Agni, praised the 2011 event as a triumph of the human spirit and cultural preservation. Japanese Sanskrit scholar Michio Yano highlighted the ritual’s intricate mathematical and geometrical underpinnings. The altar’s bird-shaped design, he explained, followed ancient algorithms found in the Sulbasutras—Vedic texts on geometry. Such insights revealed how Athirathram embodies a deep confluence of science, spirituality, and art. Culturally, the event broke barriers. Traditionally exclusive, the 2011 Athirathram welcomed people from all castes and communities. Over 300 women, symbolically dressed as brides, participated in prasadam offerings, while daily annadanam (community meals) fed nearly 40,000 people. At its core, Athirathram symbolizes harmony—between humans and nature, between science and faith, between the past and the present. Whether one sees the rain as a miracle, a meteorological coincidence, or an outcome of ritualistic intention, the ritual’s message remains timeless: reconnect with nature, honor ancient wisdom, and strive for universal well-being. In an age of ecological anxiety and spiritual seeking, the flames of Athirathram light a path forward—not by turning away from modernity, but by embracing a deeper heritage that still speaks to our future. Benefits of Athirathram  •    Rains at the end of the ritual •    Air purification •    Positive effect on plant growth •    Mental peace and clarity •    Proves the scientific nature of the ritual observed over 4000 years ago Athirathram is more than a religious ritual—it is a multidimensional practice that harmonizes ancient wisdom with environmental consciousness, social inclusiveness, and scientific curiosity. Its benefits ripple through individuals, communities, and ecosystems, making it a powerful tool for spiritual and ecological healing.

Prakasarao V Velagapudi, PhD President, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. On this International Day of Yoga on June 21,   we will try to address yoga, its importance, its relevance to the youth, its benefits, its role in bringing unity and harmony among individuals as well as in the universe, and the importance of ashtanga yoga – that is, the eight limbs of Patanjali Yoga. The theme of International Day of Yoga has been decided by the United Nations as “Yoga for well-being”  India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the UN General Assembly in September 2014, had asked world leaders to adopt an international Yoga Day, saying “Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.  Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world, and the nature.” PM Narendra Modi led the 11th International Day of Yoga in Visakhapatnam on June 21, 2025. He said that Yoga can promote peace amid the ongoing conflicts across the globe. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan also participated in the Yoda session.  PM Modi said, “Unfortunately, today the entire world is going through some tension, unrest, and instability have been increasing in many regions. In such times, Yoga gives us the direction of peace. Yoga is the pause button that humanity needs to breathe, balance, and become whole again,” “Human well-being depends on the health of the soil that grows our food, the rivers that give us water, the health of the animals that share our ecosystems, and the plants that nourish us. Yoga awakens us to this interconnectedness, leads us on a journey towards oneness with the world, and teaches us that we are not isolated individuals but part of nature.” For millennia, our ancient Rishis have recognized the importance of controlling or subduing the mind in order to live a peaceful, harmonious, and unified life. Because the mind is the most difficult to restrain, control or silence.  International Yoga Day 2025 Theme: “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.”  Protect Earth What is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health?' Mass events, environmental drives, and inclusive sessions mark the celebrations, encouraging people to embrace yoga as a daily habit for a balanced, eco-conscious life. “Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd of every year. In Indian tradition, the entire Prithvi or Earth is akin to our mother, and she belongs to everyone – all living beings – all flora and fauna. Save Mother Earth! Save all life on the planet!” Rig Veda 1:164:33 In Vedic culture, the earth is considered the divine mother and human-beings as her offspring. Thus, to the Vedic people, the Earth was an object of worship, and its bountiful natural resources were utilized to meet the bare minimum needs for the survival of the human-race and not for satisfying its endless greed and wants.  A Hymn in Prithvi Sukta in Atharva Veda, is the foremost inspirational ecological proclamation. Through this, we earnestly vouch for the ever-lasting allegiance to Mother Earth befitting a son: Mata Bhumih Putroham Prithivyah- Earth is my mother, I am her son. Rig Veda (8.8.49.4) contemplates that ‘United be your purpose, harmonious be your feelings, collected be your mind, in the same way as all the various aspects of the universe exist in interconnectedness, wholeness and oneness’.  Prithvi Sukta says ‘O Mother Earth! Be kind to us and bestow happiness upon us. May you be fertile, arable, and nourisher of all? May you continue supporting people of all races and nations?’ Other celebrated Vedic references concerning the conservation of nature are do not cut trees because they remove pollution (Rig Veda 6:48:17); one should protect the habitation (Rig Veda 6:71:3); do not disturb the sky and do not pollute the atmosphere (Yajur Veda 5:43) etc. Through these, Mother Earth’s blessings are sought for the prosperity of all animate and inanimate entities and the fulfilment of all righteous aspirations of the human race. We solemnize Mother Earth for all her natural bounties, especially for her gifts of water, herbs and vegetation, and we pray for the wellness of the sky, hills, mountains, rivers, clouds, seas and oceans and wish that all components of earth remain healthy.  One Health:  The state of the environment has a direct impact on our health as well. Everyone benefits when we take care of our environment and ourselves. Maintaining good health is crucial for fulfilling life, impacting physical, mental, and emotional well-being, productivity, and even financial stability. The environment and human health are inextricably linked. A healthy environment is essential for supporting human life and well-being for a healthy society. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, chemicals we use in the house, buildings and neighborhoods we live and work in can all contribute to environmental health problems, sometimes by disrupting how the body works. Environment relates to many health problems such as asthma, cancer, weight gain, lethargy, Parkinson disease, and others.  Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, focuses on preserving health and wellness through a holistic approach that balances mind, body, and spirit. It emphasizes disease prevention and maintaining harmony within oneself and with nature. Key aspects include understanding one's unique constitution (Prakriti), balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and adopting a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and mindful practices. World Health Organization says “Good Health of the nation depends on clean air, a stable climate, a preserved natural environment, as well as access to adequate water, sanitation and hygiene. It also requires protection from harmful radiation, unsafe chemical management and unhealthy working conditions. A healthy environment could prevent nearly a quarter of the global disease burden.” Vedic culture taught us that human beings are not the supreme species and have no right to dominate or conquer other entities. Vedas advised us to live in a co-existential mindset. Ishavasya Upanishad verse-1 says that Isavasyamidam sarvam yatkinca jagatyam jagat; Tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma grdhah kasya sviddhaman; meaning that ‘All natural resources belong to the God and our share is the bare minimum necessary for survival and earn without committing sins.”  How “Yoga for One Earth and One Health” is related to Yoga and meditation. We all have the responsibility to ensure that all sustaining components Mother Earth are preserved and protected. We must be motivated and take ownership in protecting Mother Earth from different points of view. As Rigveda says, after all, ‘Wisdom comes to a man, who meditates, acts and lives according to the true eternal laws of Nature' (Rig Veda). How Meditation helps us to protect Mother Earth and the Health of a Nation? Paramahansa Yogananda recognized the difficulty and compared the controlling mind with impossible incidents as follows:  “You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”  If the mind is that difficult to control, what can be done to quell, still or silence the mind. Patanjali Yoga Sutras written sometime between 500 BCE and 400 BCE. It contains four chapters containing 195 Sutras (aphorisms). The whole book hinges on the second sutra “yogah citta-vá¹›tti-nirodhaḥ.”(“Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind”).  Yoga means of “joining the individual soul to the universal soul” or removing the barriers between the two souls to become one.  “Yoga is that single universal principle which balances the entire universe. All elements, visible and invisible, as well as all stars, moons and sun systems, are entirely sustained by the balancing principle of Yoga.” Swami Maheshwarananda Yoga and Meditation have many positive effects on physical and mental health, reduce stress and anxiety, improve educational achievements,  mental growth, school performance and many such advantages.  In the USA, the number of yoga practitioners has increased to more than 37 million, up from 20.4 million in 2012. Globally, more than 300 million people are practicing yoga. Also, thirty-four percent of Americans or 80 million people say they are likely to try yoga for the first time in the next 12 months. “What's fascinating is the data shows that those who practice and teach yoga have measurably better perceptions of their individual strength, balance, dexterity, and mental clarity versus non-practitioners," said Yoga Alliance Executive Director and COO, Barbara Dobberthien.                Mayo Clinic asks a question, “is yoga right for you?” It says, “It is if you want to fight stress, get fit and stay healthy”. Numerous studies have well documented the wealth of information on the health and spiritual benefits of yoga. Yoga credited with the reduction of stress and anxiety while at the same time it enhanced the mood and overall well-being. It helped reduce risk factors for chronic diseases, such as heart diseases and high blood pressure, alleviated chronic conditions such as depression, pain and insomnia. It is attributed to improved balance, flexibility in mind and body, range of emotions and strength. Benefits also include muscle strength and tone, improved respiration, energy and vitality, weight reduction, improved athletic performance and increased blood flow.                The study conducted by Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin revealed that consistent yoga practice led to a significant increase in the serotonin levels and a decrease in the levels of monoamine oxidase (an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters) and cortisol.   He also reported that the left prefrontal cortex showed heightened activity in meditators, a finding that has been correlated with greater levels of happiness and better immune function. More dramatic left-sided activation was found in dedicated, long-term practitioners. The NIH's Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says that yoga – like any exercise – "might improve quality of life; reduce stress; lower heart rate and blood pressure; help relieve anxiety, depression, and insomnia; and improve overall physical fitness, strength, and flexibility." The center also says "a carefully adapted set of yoga poses" may ease lower back pain.  School Yoga Jessica Mei Gershen, a certified yoga instructor who teaches yoga to children at Brooklyn Yoga Project and founder of Yoga for All Needs, recommends making yoga playful and fun for kids, whether in the classroom or at home. In her yoga classes, Gershen weaves in fun games and stories with positive themes like compassion, gratitude, and strength. “Yoga is really effective because it’s so tangible. Learning physical postures builds confidence and strength as well as the mind-body connection,” Gershen says. She also has found that the effects of yoga go beyond physical fitness and also allow kids to build confidence and awareness beyond the classroom. “Through yoga, kids start to realize that they are strong and then are able to take that strength, confidence, acceptance, and compassion out into the world,” notes Gershen.                Yoga will help the youth to improve fitness and physical health, reduce stress and anxiety, improve optimism, improve focus, and school performance, improve self-esteem and body image, encourage creativity, improved attention span, improved memory, overall academic improvement, and develop discipline and self-regulation,  In a recent book on yoga education in India, A. Balkrishna claims that “in a nutshell, yoga is a powerful medium for developing the personality of children and making them capable of facing the present-day challenges and problems” [p. 3]. In her review article, “Effect of Yoga on Mental Health in Children,” one of the world’s most prominent yoga researchers, Shirley Telles, concludes that yoga improves children’s physical and mental well-being . Similarly, the Harvard professor Sat Bir Khalsa  finds that yoga in schools helps students improve resilience, mood, and self-regulation skills pertaining to emotions and stress. Thus, yoga is an important life skill tool for children and young people to cope with stress and self-regulation from a life-long perspective. Yoga for the Special Child, developed by Sonia Sumar, is designed to enhance the natural development of children with disabilities. The gentle and therapeutic style of yoga can be used for both babies and children with disabilities. Yoga for the Special Child incorporates yoga poses to increase flexibility and strength with breathing and relaxation techniques to increase focus and reduce hyperactivity.  A healthy body and mind are important for the development of all children. At all grade levels, from preschool through high school, students have shown improved academic and behavioral performance when yoga has been introduced in the school. The Association for School Yoga and Mindfulness continues to advocate for the inclusion of students with disabilities in school yoga programs, emphasizing, once again, that physical activity (yoga, in this case) is for everybody.  Individual Transformation is essential The individual and society are complementary and supplementary to each other. Yoga plays a pivotal role in establishing the purposeful life among youth who can shape the future of the society. Yoga helps us to become physically and mentally healthy. Without healthy individuals, a healthy society is not possible. Without a healthy society, humanity cannot be at peace. The healthy and transformed individual, in turn, will build up healthy society without any discrimination of caste, creed, colors etc. The practice of Yama Niyamas makes them purify and clean.   Therefore, the desirable personal and ethical values help to purify themselves and to transform society. The individual is constantly engaged in examining one’s values. One must recognize that the practice of Yama and Niyama values bring integrity, contentment and peace and bliss; while indifference to these values bring confusion, conflicts, miseries, and misfortunes to themselves and the society. Therefore, the application of yoga for social well-being and social transformation is essential. Practice of Yoga principles is even more important to live as a productive citizen of the country. Ajay Bharadwaj stated that, “ When the sun of yoga will shine over the horizon of the world and society today, the social evils, all the immoral and inhuman behavior will disappear, and the dream of a peaceful, prosperous, blissful, and transformed society will be fulfilled. Yoga, indeed, immerses a person into the essence of Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram and Sat-chit-Ananda (Truth-Bliss-and Consciousness) and therefore, the society having such persons is like a heaven on the earth.”  Yoga is for the humanity  Yoga works on one’s body, mind, and soul. Therefore, it is known as the global art. When our body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, we will bring health and harmony to the world-not by withdrawing from the world but by being a healthy living organ of the body of humanity. Therefore, yoga is for the whole world and humanity. Human suffering is the same. We all are humans. Everyone needs physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing for a peaceful, prosperous, and blissful life. And yoga in fact, serves this purpose. Irrespective of the nation and religion, problems facing the body and mind are the same.   Diseases and sufferings know no caste, religion or nation, and yoga is given to cure those diseases.  Maharshi Patanjali describes yoga as Sarva Bhauma, that means Universal. Universal monarch  Maharshi Patanjali in Yogasutra 2-31 says:  “Jatides kala samyama vachchhinnah sarvbhauma mahavratam”  “The great vow of restraint is universal to all earthly objects unbound by the conditions of time, place, birth lineage or family.”  The practice of five restraints (Yamas) --- non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, devotion to Divine and study or Divine-study, non-attachment --- should be applied universally regardless of religion, time,  or the country.    Thus, yoga is a Universal culture, or it has Universal appeal? It was evident when 175 nations in the United Nations voted to declare June 21st as International Day of Yoga. This year is even important to observe due to the pandemic that created havoc among people across the globe creating stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, and helplessness.  Thus, yoga is meant for the development of the whole of mankind on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Yoga is playing a significant role in rehabilitation of Covid patients and people in quarantine. It is yoga which can give permanent solutions associated with environmental and health problems. {{album_1398}}
