GHHF Mission to free Hindu Temples and protect Sanatana Dharma gets strong boost from Pawan Kalyan who advocated Sanatana Dharma Rakshana Board and promulgated Varahi Declaration.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was established in 2006 to preserve, promote, maintain, and protect Hindu culture, and free Hindu temples.  GHHF has taken appropriate actions against all laws, policies, and activities undertaken by any government that undermines the existence of the Temples. The goal is to ensure all the Hindu Temples and other Hindu institutions become independent of state government control.  The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act allowed the state governments to take over only Hindu Temples. The Act had bestowed several powers on the governments like auditing temple funds, appointing Archakas (priests), constituting a committee to monitor temple affairs, creating a common pool fund, and regulating investment of funds and use of surplus funds. All appointments, property, finances, renovations, pujas, etc. are monitored and controlled. Very rarely the governments have followed the law with no consequences for their mismanagement of Hindu Temples, their land, their resources and properties. On the other hand, Mosques and churches are free from government control and are not included in the Endowment Act. While Mosques and Churches are mushrooming in Andhra Pradesh, temples that existed for thousands of years are in a dilapidated state. The construction of Illegal Churches is swelling every day all over India. Minority appeasement at the expense of the constitutional rights accorded to Hindus is granted to Christians and Muslims at a rapid pace. Hindu existence is at stake. Hindu Temples are being attacked frequently with no consideration for the sentiments of Hindus. There are as many as 15 percent Christians are working at TTD. He never questioned our assessment. GHHF requested the then E O Sri Ashok Singhal to investigate, Ass per his suggestion we even submitted the names of Christians working at BRRD hospital.  Article 295A should be utilized by Endowment Department which says anybody who deliberately and intently hurt the feelings of Hindus shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. Realizing the confusion about the demands of non-Hindu claims and the Endowment official hatred toward Hindu way of life, the Government circular was issued in 2011 prohibiting non-Hindus to participate in the auctions for various leases and licenses to operate shops and also bid to acquire contacts. It stated that "Allotment of shops, buildings / vacant sites in and around the premise (Alaya Kshetram) of Religious Institutions and various License tights in the Temple shall be leased out to the persons who are professing Hindu Religion only and the persons not professing Hindu Religion are prohibited and not allowed to function against the forms, customs and usage of such religious institutions." Since 2020, GHHF is undertaking several projects to protect Hinduism: 1 Bala Samskar- conducting 200 schools in Indi and 10 schools in Bangladesh to educate our Childre 2) Reviving Grama Devatas by renovating the temples 3) Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam – providing necessary Arthi material to the needy Temple; 4) Sponsor a priest – employing priests to reopen the closed temples; 5) Annadanam – so far provide more than 2 Lakhs and 6) Reviving Hindu villages by making them proud of their culture. Pawan Kalyan Fiery speech in Tirupati; Highlights of his speech to protect Sanatana Dharma GHHF is very happy to hear Pawan Kalyan talk about protecting Sanatana Dharma, his unwavering commitment question the so-called secularists, and his pledge to question anybody who attacks Sanatana Dharma. Speaking at his Varahi declaration meet in Tirupati, Kalyan issued a stern warning to those who, in his words, are attempting to undermine Sanatana Dharma. “If anyone tries to wipe out Sanatana Dharma, let me tell you from the feet of Lord Balaji, you will be wiped out,” he stated firmly.  Pawan Kalyan, who identifies as an “unapologetic Sanatani Hindu,” made it clear that he is prepared to defend his faith with everything he has. Addressing his critics, he said, “I am conveying this to the so-called secularists who ridicule my Sanatana Dharma. Let me tell you, I will safeguard Sanatana Dharma with my life.” He expressed his willingness to sacrifice his political power and even his life if necessary, stating, “If I have to lose everything, including my life and my political position, I’m ready to let it go. This is the oath I’ve taken as an unapologetic Sanatani Hindu.” Kalyan also criticized what he sees as a bias in the legal system, stating that Sanatana Dharma followers are treated harshly compared to those of other religions. He mentioned the courts’ leniency toward those who, in his view, have attacked Hinduism. “The courts are protecting the abusers and attackers of Sanatana Dharma,” Kalyan said, stating that similar comments made against other religions would lead to severe punishment. Consistent with GHHF mission to protect Sanatana Dharma and Hindu Temples, Pawan Kalyan called for the introduction of a national law to protect Sanatana Dharma from defamation and attacks. He also proposed setting up a "Sanatana Dharma Protection Board" at both state and national levels.  Pawan Kalyan criticized Udhayanidhi's comparison of Sanatana Dharma to a virus, warning that the ancient principles would remain indestructible despite such political rhetoric  The 'Varahi Declaration' encouraged all Indians, regardless of caste, creed, or religion, to stand united in defense of Sanatana Dharma. Kalyan urged citizens to raise their voices against any attack on Hindu beliefs.  Pawan Kalyan stressed that true secularism requires equal respect for all religions. He pointed out that while attacks on other religions receive widespread outrage, Hinduism often faces disrespect without similar reactions.   Pawan Kalyan vowed to protect Sanatana Dharma, declaring that he would sacrifice everything, including his political career, to uphold it. "Politicians like you come and go, but Sanatana Dharma will remain eternal," Pawan Kalyan stated, dismissing any attempts to undermine the religious belief. Following his fiery, powerful and passionate speech, he released Varahi Declaration to protect and preserve Sanatana Dharma. As of now, there is no politician who has taken vow to defend Sanatana Dharma for peaceful coexistence. Varahi Declaration emphasizes the importance of protecting Sanatana Dharma and promoting secularism. Here are the key points from the declaration: 1. Secularism must be upheld in a manner that ensures uniform response to any threat or harm caused to any religion or faith. 2. A strong national Act is required to protect Sanatana Dharma and prevent actions that harm its beliefs. This Act should be enacted immediately and uniformly enforced across the nation. 3. A "Sanatana Dharma Protection Board" should be established at both the national and state levels to oversee the implementation of this Act 4. Annual funds must be allocated to support this board and its activities. 5. There should be non-cooperation to individuals or organizations that defame or spread hatred against Sanatana Dharma. 6. Sanatana Dharma Certification must be implemented to ensure the purity of materials used in offerings and prasadam at temples. 7. Temples should evolve not only as spiritual centers but also as centers for promoting art & culture, education, economy, environmental conservation and welfare with comprehensive planning.  Global Hindu Heritage Foundation stands with his mission to protect Sanatana Dharma and his advocacy to establish Sanatana Dharma Rakshana Board. Jai Sree Ram.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendra Assam students learned about Rani Durgavati, her bravery and wisdom and how she defended Gondwana.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy inform that student from Assam learned about the bravery and wisdom of Rani Durgadevi and how she defended Gondwana.  Rani Durgavati (5 October 1524 – 24 June 1564) was the queen regent of Gondwana in 1550–1564 AD. She married King Dalpat Shah, the son of King Sangram Shah of Gondwana. She served as regent of Gondwana during the minority of her son, Vir Narayan, from 1550 until 1564. She is chiefly remembered for defending Gondwana against the Mughal Empire Marriage Dalpat Shah was a kind and just ruler, and Rani Durgavati became known for her wisdom and advice. She bore him two children, a son, and a daughter. When Dalpat Shah died, Rani Durgavati became the regent of Gondwana. She ruled with the help of her councilors, and her primary goal was to protect her kingdom and her people. However, her life changed forever when her father was killed in battle. Forced to take up the reins of the kingdom, she became a leader at a young age. While she may have had a privileged upbringing, she proved herself to be a capable and strong ruler. She was a brave and skilled warrior and often led her husband’s troops into battle. She was also a patron of the arts and helped to promote the development of poetry and music in her kingdom. How she became a ruler How many of you knows that Rani Durgavati accidently became the ruler. Yes, its true that she come accross situations where she enthroned on throne of Gondwana. it only happened because her husband passed on when their son, Narayan, was too young to take over his father’s throne. So Rani Durgavati had no choice but to take over the leadership of the Gond Kingdom. Ascending for her husband’s throne wasn’t a simple task, because she was a woman. However, her bravery and determination were always the driving force behind all her achievements. The two ministers, Man Thakur and Adhar Kayastha, who helped her assume her husband’s throne, also get some credit for her successful inheritance of the leadership of the Gond dynasty. Durgavati was smart lady who ruled the Gond kingdom with bravery. She proved herself as a great ruler beyond doubt. She commanded extensive army of one thousand war elephants, 20,000 horses, and soldiers. All these, she made sure, were in good health and well trained. In recognition of her profound impact, the Government of India issued a postal stamp in her honor, and the train between Jabalpur Junction and Jammutawi was named Durgavati Express. Furthermore, the Indian Coast Guard commissioned ICGS Rani Durgavati, an Inshore Patrol Vessel, as a symbol of her enduring legacy and the values she embodied.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Students learned about Annie Besant, who worked for Indian Independence, became a Hindu and died in India.

A woman who recognized the divinity in every person, Annie Besant was attracted to Hindu traditions and philosophy in India and considered India her motherland even though she was a foreigner. Annie Besant proved that a woman who embodies intelligence and courage can change the world's thinking. Her mother was Irish, and her father was British. She was born in London and finally died in Adyar, Madras. His father died when he was five years old. He was raised by his mother. She was very happy as a child. Along with their studies, she enjoyed nature and learned to play cricket, music, horse riding, and sewing. Her religious faith and piety were very high. She used to pray and read the Bible every day. At the age of 20, her religious faith reached such a level that she decided to devote her life to the service of God. Married to Reverend Frank Besant in 1867 and had a son and a daughter. For some time, the daughter suffered from illness, and the death of the mother led to a loss of faith in God, and she became an atheist. Encouraged by an atheist named Charles Broadlaw, she wrote several works under the pen name Ajax and sent them to journals. The Theosophical Society, founded in 1875, attracted Annie Besant. Her life turned around after reading the Secret Doctrine by Blavatsky. Became a member of Theosophical Society in 1889. In 1907, she became the president of the Divya Jnana Samaj. Attracted to the theological philosophy of Eastern countries, he studied India and settled in Varanasi in 1895. It is believed that India has no future if spirituality is abandoned. Annie Besant longed to revive the piety and patriotism of the Indian people who forgot their religion and traditions in the craze of Western culture. It promoted itself using indigenous products. In 1894, she addressed the Indian National Congress for the first time. The Home Rule Movement started in 1916. Leaders who did not cooperate at first eventually cooperated with Annie Besant. In 1917, she presided over the Calcutta Congress sessions, organized mass meetings in public for the first time, and mobilized more women to participate in politics. She had lofty ideas about the country's future. She wanted it to gain independence so that all Indians could enjoy freedom. Brahma Vidya Samaj shifted its headquarters to Adyar, Madras. A university was started at the center, and Rabindranath Tagore was appointed as its Chancellor. Ancient Indian roots were modeled and taught in combination with the modern education system. In 1898, a Hindu College was started in Varanasi. It later became Kasi Hindu University. In 1909, she adopted Krishnamurthy and Nityanand and worked hard to make them prophets of the world. They traveled to many countries and were taught many religious practices and languages and took special care. Annie Besant, who showed her mother's love to everyone, was called Amma by all. Raised in a Christian family and working with atheists, her life was wholly dedicated to India. Annie Besant worked in various fields as a revolutionary, a social reformer, and an independent fighter, imbibing Indian philosophy and becoming a role model for all. She demonstrated that Hinduism and Bharat are inextricably interwoven and that both terms are interchangeable. To quote her, thus: "Hinduism is the soul of India. Without Hinduism there can be no India. Without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India's roots are struck and tom of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out of from its place. Many are the races flourishing in India, but none of them stretches back into the far dawn of her past, nor are they necessary for her endurance as a nation. Everyone might pass away as they came and would remain. But let Hinduism vanish and what she is?” Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendra Assam students learned about Naiki Devi who defeated Muhammad Ghori and protected Chalukya Kingdom.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is pleased to inform that Bala Samskar Kendra Assam students learnt about Naiki Devi, the Gujarati Queen from Goa Who Defeated Muhammad Ghori. Among these unsung warrior women is Naiki Devi, the Goan princess who went on to become the Chalukya queen of Gujarat and defeat the mighty Muhammad Ghori in the battlefield. Here’s the untold tale of how Naiki Devi etched her mark in the annals of history. The daughter of the Kadamba king of Goa, Naiki Devi was well-trained in sword fighting, cavalry, military strategy, diplomacy and all other subjects of statecraft. Undaunted by the prospect of Ghori’s imminent attack, she took command of the Chalukyan force and threw herself into organizing a well-planned opposition to the invading army. Naiki Devi was daughter of Paramardi. One theory identifies this Paramardi as the Kadamba king Permadideva, but according to historian Ashoke Kumar Majumdar, she was likely the daughter of the Chandela king Paramardi (reigned c. 1165-1203 CE).` She was married to Chaulukya ruler Ajayapala and had son named Mularaja, who later became king after his father's death. When her son succeeded his father as king in 1175, she became regent during the minority of her son. In 1175, Muhammad of Ghor crossed the Indus, capturing Multan and Uch before penetrating in present-day Gujarat through the Thar Desert in 1178. Muhammad of Ghor was routed by Mularaja II and his Rajput allies from Nadol, Jalore and Abu at the Battle of Kasahrada. The location of battle is identified as a village named Kayandra near foothills of Abu hills. Persian chroniclers Minhaj al-Siraj and Ferishta mentioned that Muhammad of Ghor was routed by Bhima II (Mularaja brother and successor), although the epigraphic evidence confirmed that Maharaja II was ruling at the time of Ghurid invasion. When Ghori had planned his attack, he underestimated the power of Naiki Devi. He thought that a woman and child would be of no resistance. But he was to learn otherwise soon. Naiki Devi was well-trained in sword fighting.  She wasn’t afraid after listening to Ghori’s attack rather got herself and her army ready for a battle. She also requested assistance from Prithviraj Chauhan but he denied it. Later she did receive assistance from leaders of the Naddula Chahamana clan, Jalor Chahamana clan, and the Arbuda Paramara clan. A smart Naiki Devi now planned to subdue the Ghori army. She chose the Gadaraghatta terrain an area near the foot of Mount Abu, the village of Kahsrada as the battle site. The narrow hill passes of Gadaraghatta were a less-known area for Ghori’s army, giving Naiki Devi a huge advantage and balancing the odds in one masterful move. Hence when Ghori and his army finally arrived at Kahsrada the queen rode into the battle with her son on her lap, leading her soldiers into a thrilling counterattack.

[GHHF] Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam Kits distributed to 50 Gramadevatas to perform the daily rituals to the presiding deity and to attract Hindus to attend the Temple functions.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to recognize the need to preserve and protect the traditions and customs in the villages. We feel that many villagers identify themselves as their Gramadevatas (Village Deities) and pray for their blessings to protect them from possible impending dangers. This is our effort to revive the sentiments and faith in Gramadevatas, who once played a significant role in unifying the entire community. Haindava Temple Trust also participated in the distribution of these items.  In September, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation distributed Puja items to about 50 village Temples. In Hindu temples, if the lamp is always lit, that light becomes a beacon of knowledge and protects those around it from falling into the darkness of ignorance. These pooja funds are given on behalf of the organization to provide a helping hand to those who have unwavering devotion to the Lord and are facing financial difficulties to serve him and to ensure the smooth running of the services in the temples. Conversion is dangerous to national security; this is not what we are saying, but history is telling the truth. Big India has already been divided by these heretical religions, and the proselytizing gangs are still trying to divide the country. Many people living in the border areas have already been converted to weaken the country's borders. As we all know, India's border region is located on most seacoasts. The people in the fishing villages along the seacoasts are being converted using tricks. To prevent this religious conversion, to continue the daily rituals in the Temple, to undertake dharmic activities to establish peace and harmony, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to providing needed puja materials such as incense, camphor, lamp, oil, wicks, and offering services have been handed over to the temples. We also run Bala Samskara Kendras through the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in several fishing villages. Grama Devatas means village Goddesses/Deities installed in the villages to protect the town, crops, calamities, and various ailments and bless the villagers with health and wealth. As we know, many Grama Devatas are in a small place in the community or village. The overwhelming majority of Grama Devatas are Goddesses with very few notable experiences. Dharma-Thakkur is a god of fertility and disease in West Bengal. Another example is Kala Bhairava, a fierce form of Lord Shiva, which is the Gramadevata in the rural villages of Maharashtra, where he is referred to as Vairavar.  Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Shanti Mantras and Meditation were conducted as Prayaschittam in Frisco Texas for offering Adulterated Laddu to Lord Venkateswara.

Global Hindi Heritage Foundation, along with Jana Sena and Vishwa Hindu Parishad members, organized Shanti and Meditation as a Prayaschittam for offering adulterated Laddu to Lord Venkateswara. More than 125 people joined the gathering by 8:00 a.m. on September 28. This Prayaschittam program was organized to highlight the seriousness of the wounded sentiments of Hinds and the inspiration derived from Sri Pawan Kalyan, who was doing Prayaschittam Deeksha.                 Sri Sashi Kejriwal served as Master of Ceremony and spoke about the Naivedyam polluted with animal fat offered by Lord Balaji. Then he invited a Priest from RVVSS Temple to chant Shanti Mantras to purify our mind and body. The audience also participated in chanting a few slokas. Several people talked about the seriousness of the offering of Adulterated Laddu to Lod Balaji and the course of action to redress the polluted ambiance on Tirumala Hills. GHHF President Dr. Prakash Rao Velagapudi, VHPA Dallas President Shri Gaur ji, Chandra Koosam, Rahul Dharankar, Commander Gavi Kumar Director of Veteran Affairs, Sachin Sugandhi from Sewa international, Jana Sena Party Kishore Anichetty, Sri Ram Mathi, also Ramu Gullapalli from TDP, Hemanth Kale from HBS, Ramakrishna GVS and others spoke about the seriousness of the matter and what steps to take to restore the sanctity of Laddu offering Prakasarao Velagapudi spoke about the use of animal fats and oils in Tirupati laddus as a serious violation of the sentiments of a billion Hindus. Hindus across the globe were amazed at the intensity of the hatred of the YSRCP government. He mentioned that the National Diarry Lab has conducted testing of the Ghee used to make Laddus and revealed the ghee contained animal fat, Beef tallow, Lard, and Fish oil. The second evidence is that they changed the Ghee supplied and bought it at about Rs 318, while pure is almost impossible to buy for less than Rd 800.                 He also mentioned that the Prayaschittam event at Frisco was inspired by Sri Pawan Kalyan, who spoke about how Hindus were being abused, Temples were attacked, Murtys were broken, Chariots were burned, and so on. He embarked on an eleven-day Prayaschittam Deeksha as a way of spiritual atonement. Also, he advocated that all the Hindu temples must be freed from government control and also advocated the formation of the Sanatan Dharma Rakshana Board to manage the Temples. Prakasa Rao mentioned that he had written a letter to the Deputy Chief Minister on July 1, 2024, asking him to address four issues to restore faith in the new administration. These issues are as serious as the Laddu issue. 1) Free Hindu Temples from government control and hand over to competent Hindus to manage independently. 2)      Stop abusing the Hindu Temples and Deities – investigate the abuses of Hindu Temples and take appropriate action against the culprits and authorities who failed to investigate. 3) Stop diverting Temple Funds to other religions and secular acts. The funds were diverted to the Government treasury and then funded by non-Hindu organizations. 4)      Declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Divya Kshetra, - Holy city. It should be the religious Center on the same lines as the Vatican and Mecca. 5) Christianization of TTD. We have submitted a letter about the extent of Christian influence and a letter to the Executive Officer and Chairman of TTD. In the letter GHHF wrote to the Deputy Chief Minister, we requested him to seriously consider addressing these and other issues. Following the speeches, Dr. Sunil Thummala led the people to practice Breathing exercises and meditation.   We are grateful to all those people who came so early in the morning to express their sincere outrage at the offering of Adulterated Laddu to Lord Venkateswara. As mentioned, several community leaders spoke about the seriousness of the Laddu issue and requested the government investigate and take appropriate legal action against the culprits. It is also stated that TTD should establish a world-class Testing Lab on Tirumala Hills to test the quality of Ghee and all the materials used to Prepare Laddus and other items prepared on the Hill. We want to thank all the sponsors who provided coffee, doughnuts, Upma, Bananas, cookies, and other items. We also thank the media: Venkat Mulukutla (TV5), Shiva Vadlamudi (Prime 9), Crossroads, and others.

GHHF] Cow Puja, Shiva Puja and Shiva Abhishekam were performed in the house of a Dalit family in Garudapuram Village in Anantapur District, A P.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been going to remote villages, Dalit community to ensure they would have the opportunity to do pujas and Abhishekam enabling them to get united in the village. On September 23, in Garudapuram village of Kalyanadurgam Mandal, a program called Every House Shiva Aradhana was organized at Eranna Gari's house.  The main purpose of this program is to try to unite all the Hindu brothers.  Once a week, the Christians form a house-to-house gathering and call the Hindu relatives in the village to pray and convert them to Christianity. Therefore, instead of going like that, they stay in the Hindu Dharma and tell us how important it is to have a Tilak on the forehead, how to get salvation, our dharma, commitments, and customs. We should stay in our Sanatana Dharma without going into other religion. The program was arranged.  First Gopuja was performed, and all the villagers were allowed to touch various parts of Gau, then performed pooja at the doorsteps. Then Shiva Linga was established in the house, performed Shiva puja, and then performed Panchamruta Abhishekam to Lord Shiva, everyone who attended the Puja was given an opportunity to do Abhishekam with their hands.   During (Shiva) Abhisheka, Sri Rudram, (Chamakam and Namakam), Purusha Sookta, Mahaa Mrityunjaya Mantra Japa, Panchakshari Mantra etc, are chanted.  Chamakam is divided into eleven sections. Each of these is then combined with Namakam and repeated. This is called Sri Rudra. Eleven such Rudra make one Laghu Rudra. Eleven Laghu Rudra make one Mahaa-Rudra. Thus, we can expect some extraordinary vibrations in the Maha Rudra Yagam here at the Dattatreya Yoga Centre next year, as specially trained Pundits will be coming from India to perform this Yagnam! The Abhisheka water or other articles used for Abhishekam are considered very sacred and bestow immense benefits on the devotees who take it as the Lord’s Prasad. It purifies the heart and destroys countless sins. It promotes purity of spirit and harmony between families and communities! Negative energies are removed, and positive, strength-giving vibrations infused within pure devotees and in the environment, giving protection from natural calamities also! Such Prasadam must be taken with intense Bhava (pure feeling) and faith.  If anyone wants to do this pooja, they should contact Gopi Swami or volunteers. He explained about Sanatana Dharma and how it is different from Christianity.  Sri Gopi Swamy announced that it will be done completely free of cost on behalf of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation.  Finally, Teertha prasadam was distributed, and the food donation program was held.  Jai Sriram Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Prayers and meditation organized as Prayaschittam for offering adulterated Laddu to Sri Balaji

                                                    [GHHF] Prayers and meditation organized as Prayaschittam for offering adulterated Laddu to Sri Balaji on September 28 (Saturday) at Frisco Square at 8:00am. Prayaschittam refers to “atonement for sin according to the Shivapurāṇa 2.2.20.  The Upanishad theory states that one must bear the consequences of all actions, good or evil. But sometimes an evil action is done without any previous knowledge. Many Hindus allowed the offering of adulterated Laddu to Lord Venkateswara without their knowledge. Many of us ate that Prasadam with no knowledge. As per Dharma Sastras, all sins are pardonable once we repent sincerely. Thus, we are organizing the prayers and Meditation program to atone collectively seeking Lord Venkateswara’s pardon. Please participate to express our Prayaschittam. For information: Prakasa Rao (601-918-7111); Chandra (972-689-9145); Prashant (323-365-4124);  Satish (770-354-0594).
