Henry David Thoreau: “In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad-gita, in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial.” Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform that we are conducting about 200 Bala Samskar Kendras in five States in India – Assam, Telangana, Andhra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We have many active Hindus who are helping in different ways to ensure our children are taught about the richness of Sanatana Dharma. Each school is teaching different things and at the same time they follow the required syllabus to ensue all the students learn things that are common to all the students. It is challenging as the ages of the students varied from one school to another. Bhagavad Gita Saptaha started It was decided to conduct Bhagavad Gita Saptaha in order to teach the proper way of chanting and also the importance of Bhagavad Gita. It is conducted in the premise of Andalamma Devi Temple in Vadali Village in Penukonda Mandalam of West Godavari District. The are meeting seven consecutive days from 8:00am to 11:00am. Since these are summer holidays, many students are able to attend and took advantage of the Saptaha. Thewy have divided Bhagavad Gita into seven parts and completing to ensure it will be completed in seven days.  we should remember the circumstances under which Bhagavad Gita was born. After negotiations between Pandavas and Kauravas failed, the war was declared. Arjuna looked at the formation of the armies on both sides and he become despondent with the realization that he may have to kill his own family members, teachers like Bhishma Charya, Drona, and Kripa Charya, friends and others in this great war. With these thoughts in mind, loosing his composure he turned to Lord Krishna and said: My whole body shudders: my hair is standing on end. My bow, the Gaṇḍiva, is slipping from my hand, and my skin is burning all over. My mind is in quandary and whirling in confusion; I am unable to hold myself steady any longer. O Krishna, killer of the Keshi demon, I only see omens of misfortune. I do not foresee how any good can come from killing my own kinsmen in this battle. (Gita 1:29-31). Arjuna was not in a position to make a decision to either fight or not fight. Despondent, disillusioned, helpless, fearful, and dejected, Arjuna surrender to Lord Krishna and said: “I am confused about my duty and am besieged with anxiety and faintheartedness. I am your disciple and am surrendered to you. Please instruct me for certain what is best for me.” Lord Krishna emphasized the importance of uploading Dharma and also paying one’s own karma. He said that this is righteous war and adharma should be eliminated. Everything is an illusion, and everything belongs to Divine. Human body impermanent while dharma is eternal. Lord Krishna says: “So, O Arjun, contemplate the Self, surrender all your action to me, abandon all desire, pity, and grief, and be ready to fight.” That is how the Bhagavad Gita – the eternal, timeless and quintessential message - flows from the lips of Lord Krishna. It spread all across the globe Ever since it was first translated into English by Charles Wilkins in 1784, the influence of Bhagavad Gita is phenomenal, remarkable, and unimaginable. It’s influenced crossed the boundaries of India, by attracting, philosophers, poets, transcendentalists, scientist, academicians, travelers, and statesmen.  Warren Hastings, Aldous Huxley, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Edwin Arnold, Arnold Toynbee, Robert Oppenheimer, W.D.P. Hill, R.C. Zaehner, Albiruni and many others were her admirers and believers. This is but natural because of it’s universal, nonsectarian, and spiritual appeal.  Its universal message transported them to a higher level of thinking, chartered them to think from a different perspective, and transcended the confines of normal human perceptions. Henry David Thoreau "I would say to the readers of the Scriptures, if they wish for a good book, read the Bhagvat-Geeta .... translated by Charles Wilkins. It deserves to be read with reverence even by Yankees...."Besides the Bhagvat-Geeta, our Shakespeare seems sometimes youthfully green... Ex oriente lux may still be the motto of scholars, for the Western world has not yet derived from the East all the light it is destined to derive thence." Ralph Waldo Emerson “I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books; it was as if 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 same questions which exercise us. "The Bhagavad-Gita is an empire of thought and in its philosophical teachings Krishna has all the attributes of the full-fledged monotheistic deity and at the same time the attributes of the Upanishadic absolute." Ananda K Coomaraswamy                The relevance and importance of Bhagavad Gita is emphasized by  Ananda K Coomaraswamy, "....We must, however, specially mention the Bhagavad Gita as probably the most important single work ever produced in India; this book of eighteen chapters is not, as it has been sometimes called, a "sectarian " work, but one universally studied and often repeated daily from memory by millions of Indians of all persuasions; it may be described as a compendium of the whole Vedic doctrine to be found in the earlier Vedas, Brahmanas, and Upanishads, and being therefore the basis of all the later developments, it can be regarded at the focus of all Indian religion.”                In a similar vein, it captured the attention of many academicians. For Klaus Kostermaier, Bhagavad Gita is a unique literary manual. He acknowledges that it is not that easy to decipher it’s meaning and message.  He mentions the challenges of understanding Bhagavad Gita: Whoever reads it for the first time will be struck by its beauty and depth; countless Hindus know it by heart and quote it in many occasions as an expression of their faith and their insights. All over India, and also in many places in the Western hemisphere, Gītā lectures attract large numbers of people. Many are convinced that the Bhagavad Gītā is the key book for the respiritualization of humankind in our age. A careful study of the Gītā, however, will very soon reveal the need for a key to this key book. Simple as the tale may seem and popular as the work has become, it is by no means an easy book and some of the greatest Indianists have grappled with the historical and philosophical problems it presents.” Greatness of Bhagavad Gita The Mahabharata says "sarva shaastramayii giitaa" meaning that the Gita is the essence all the scriptures. Sage Vyasa said that the Gita alone should be sung, heard and assimilated and there is no use of any other scripture when one has the Gita because it has originated from the lips of the Lord Himself. Gita Mahatyam or the Glory of Gita says that Gita contains the essence of all the four Vedas and yet its style is so simple that after a little study, anyone can easily follow the structure of the words. As a reader grows in maturity, the same words reveal more and more facets of meaning and thought process and hence the Gita remains eternally new. The Lord Himself says in the Varaha Purana that, “Where the Gita is read, forthwith comes help. Where the Gita is discussed, recited, taught, or heard, there, O Earth, beyond a doubt, do I Myself unfailingly reside.” DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned few verses of Hanuman Chalisa and Benefits of Chanting

Annie Besant India was born, as it were, in the womb of Hinduism, and her body was for long shaped by that religion. Religion is a binding force, and India has had a longer binding together by religion than any other Nation in the world, as she is the oldest of the living Nations.” Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform that we are conducting about 200 Bala Samskar Kendras in five States in India – Assam, Telangana, Andhra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We have many active Hindus who are helping in different ways to ensure our children are taught about the richness of Sanatana Dharma. Each school is teaching different things and at the same time they follow the required syllabus to ensue all the students learn things that are common to all the students. It is challenging as the ages of the students varied from one school to another. Chanting of Hanuman Chalisa It is believed among that reciting the Hanuman Chalisa can ward off evil spirits, reduce the effect of Saturn and help those troubled by nightmares. It gives one strength and courage to face challenges head-on. Hanuman Chalisa is a set of 40 poetic verses dedicated to the devotee of Lord Rama, Hanuman. It was composed by Tulsidas while he was imprisoned by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. When Aurangzeb challenged Tulsidas to show the lord to him, he replied that Rama could only be seen with true devotion. This angered the emperor and he put the poet behind bars. It is popularly believed that an army of monkeys menaced Delhi when Tulsidas completed his ode and recited the Chalisa. It is also a common belief among the Hindus that reading Hanuman Chalisa can reap several benefits.  Hanuman Chalisa can be read by anybody. Hanuman Chalisa can be read in the morning after taking a bath. Those reading after sunset should wash their hands, feet and face beforehand. Here are some spiritual benefits of the reciting the Hanuman Chalisa: 1.    It is believed among Hindus that reciting Hanuman Chalisa calls upon Hanuman’s involvement in critical problems and helps wards off evil spirits and negative energy. 2.    Recital of the Hanuman Chalisa helps reduce the effects of Sade Sati and helps those suffering due to Saturn if they read Hanuman Chalisa on Saturday for peace and prosperity. 3.    Hanuman Chalisa can help those troubled with nightmares if they place the Chalisa under their pillow before sleeping. 4.    More than anything, dedicated recitals of Hanuman Chalisa can one overcome the trauma of bad experiences. 5.    Reading Hanuman Chalisa is beneficial if one wants to get rid of the karmic effects of the bad deeds done in the past. 6.    Those who read Hanuman Chalisa with utmost dedication invite the divine protection of Lord Hanuman who removes obstacles in our endeavours. 7.    Those suffering from stress should read Hanuman Chalisa to feel relaxed and in control of life. 8.    It is believed that Lord Hanuman can prevent accidents and ensure a successful trip, which is why many people have idols of Hanuman in their cars. 9.    For those seeking enlightenment, reading Hanuman Chalisa can help gain wisdom and spiritual knowledge. 10.    Reciting Hanuman Chalisa helps people who have been distracted by a bad company. It helps in the reformation of those fallen prey to objectionable habits. 11.    It eliminates disagreements and promotes unanimity and contentment.

[GHHF] Roundup of our activities at the Ground Level May 11-20.

Mark Twain "The Ganga (Ganges) front is the supreme showplace of Benares. Its tall bluffs are solidly caked from water to summit, along a stretch of three miles, with a splendid jumble of massive and picturesque masonry, a bewildering and beautiful confusion of stone platforms, temples, stair flights, rich and stately palaces....soaring stairways, sculptured temples, majestic palaces, softening away into the distances; and there is movement, motion, human life everywhere, and brilliantly costumed - streaming in rainbows up and down the lofty stairways, and massed in metaphorical gardens on the mile of great platforms at the river's edge." As many of our readers may not be able to keep up with our daily reporting of our grass root activities, GHHF decided to update all the articles once every ten days. Hence, we are summarizing our activities between May 11-20. 1)    “Shiva Shakthi Maha Yagnam”, first of a kind, is being organized by JSS Hindu Temple in MD from May 9-14, 2023. (5/10/23) The purpose of the Yagnam is to consecrate the land on which the divine temple of “Sri Chamundeshwari Devi” will be constructed on the JSS Ashram premises in Maryland. The Maha Yagna Homas are held to transform sadhakas and alleviate their challenges in all dimensions of life. JSS Spiritual Mission is a long-cherished vision of His Holiness Sri Sivaratri Rajendra Mahaswamy, the 23rd Pontiff of Sri Suttur Math, which is now being carried forward by the present 24th Pontiff His Holiness Jagadguru Sri Sivaratri Desikendra Mahaswamy. https://www.savetemples.org/post/shiva-shakthi-maha-yagnam-first-of-a-kind-is-being-organized-by-jss-hindu-temple-in-md-from-may-9-14-2023/1600 2)     Bala Samskar Kendras in Assam- students learned about Sri Rabindranath Tagore and his achievements. (5/13/23) Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) was the youngest son of Debendranath Tagore, a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, which was a new religious sect in nineteenth-century Bengal and which attempted a revival of the ultimate monistic basis of Hinduism as laid down in the Upanishads. He was educated at home; and although at seventeen he was sent to England for formal schooling, he did not finish his studies there. In his mature years, in addition to his many-sided literary activities, he managed the family estates, a project which brought him into close touch with common humanity and increased his interest in social reforms. He also started an experimental school at Shantiniketan where he tried his Upanishadic ideals of education. From time to time he participated in the Indian nationalist movement, though in his own non-sentimental and visionary way; and Gandhi, the political father of modern India, was his devoted friend. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendras-in-assam-students-learned-about-sri-rabindranath-tagore-and-his-achievements/1601 3)    Bala Sanskar Kendras in Tamil Nadu organized an Amazing 10-Day Summer camp for Students. (5/14/23) Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to announce that the children of Chengalpattu district, under the able guidance of Karyakartha Mrs. Jayalakshmi, had a 10 day fun summer camp April 26-May 5th in and around Koovathur village. It was enthusiastically attended everyday by over 115 children and they loved every bit of it. In preparation for conducting this summer camp, all GHHF 4 teachers in this district went through a 1 day intense teachers training camp conducted by local RSS wing, a month prior to the camp. Teachers were taught specific set of topics to teach children every day that included Shlokas, Yoga asanas, important tenets of Hinduism like Murthi worship, parents worship, patriotic songs and engaging games. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-sanskar-kendras-in-tamil-nadu-organized-an-amazing-10-day-summer-camp-for-students/1602 4)    Five-Day “Shiva Shakthi Maha Yagnam”  was successfully concluded enabling the construction of a Sri Chamundeshwari Temple in MD on May 14, 2023.

Mother has been extolled as a god form in several places in the puranas and also God has been approached as a son approaches his mother by many great savants. She is Dhatri (One who bears the child), Janani (one who gives birth to the child), Amba (One who nourishes the limbs of the child) and Veerasu (One who makes him a hero), Shusroo (One who takes care of him). But Sankara in these poems is not dealing either of God in the form of mother nor mother in the form of God. He laments to the lady who was his mother and points out how his conscience is pricking him for being not able to do the duty of a son. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendra-students-learned-about-the-importance-of-mother-and-the-names-of-20-mothers-who-blessed-us-with-great-spiritual-leaders/1604 6)    Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Alluri Seetharama Raju, his heroic life and his battles with British. (5/17/23) Sri Alluri Seetharama Raju: Born on July 4, 1897, into a middle-class family, Alluri, as a boy, was deeply disturbed when he heard about the untold miseries that the countrymen were suffering under British rule. Known for the brief but emphatic Rampa Rebellion in the Eastern Ghats of Andhra Pradesh against the British, Alluri, who is also referred to as Manyam Veerudu (Jungle Warrior), rallied thousands of poor Adviasis and kindled the spirit of freedom among them. When a friend gave him badges with King George’s image on it, the teenager wore it on his shirt and famously said that wearing it was to flaunt one’s servitude. “But I pinned it on my shirt near my heart to remind all of you that a foreign ruler is crushing our lives,” he said. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendras-students-learned-about-alluri-seetharama-raju-his-heroic-life-and-his-battles-with-british/1605 7)    Employing Priests to manage Hindu Temples in Villages – Revive Hindu Temple culture and Village religiosity.

[GHHF] Ghar Waapasi – Built Water Tubs and placed them in different locations to provide water to animals and Birds during this scorching hot summer “ It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs.—Vaclav Havel

On behalf of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, Sri Pinnamaneni Srinivas and his innumerable friends decided to do their part which they usually, every year in and around Visakhapatnam. This year we decided to provide water to the animals.  To provide water GHHF decided to make water tubs with concrete so that they will last longer. Then our volunteers will fill these tubas every day to make sure that the animals such as cows, dogs and birds can drink water This is installed in many places in and around Visakhapatnam area. Our efforts received  applaud from locals, pilgrims,  and even the auto stand union who voluntarily agreed to secure, watch and refill as needed. Few newspapers covered the event.  Water is placed in secure and high visible areas so that these would stand as examples to be followed by at least those with kind hearts. Locals appreciated very much and few has come forward to regularly clean, secure and refill( a great sign of humanity). Sri Pinnamaneni Srinivas is Board Member of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation who has been spending hours and hours every day to coordinate, supervise and guide our Ghar Waapasi program, Bala Samskar Kendras, and help renovate and build Grama Devata Temples in Villages.   Sri Srinivas and our Volunteers such as Srinivas Raju, Rajesh and Sri Varma  and His friends have been doing yeoman service to protect and shelter the birds and animals, cows, monkeys, and street dogs. His passion to protect them is unmatched. He is also environmentalist. He organized many activities to plant many seedlings around the dry areas and mountains to ensure the greenery and reduce the pollution.  As many of you may be aware that last year during scorching summer day, we got a call from  an unknown about a dog abandoned on the side of busy six lane road tied to a tree. My friend Varma garu responded immediately rushed to spot with some water and biscuits.        It is a beautiful white Pomeranian, in a complete state of perplex, sudden disappearance of those who took care of him , waiting with a hope for them to come back, with vehicles passing with gushing speed, and too hot weather, it is in complete distress. We waited for that day to see if anyone would come back, but unfortunately not. Finally our friend already having couple of dogs , brought him home, gave some comfort she accepted the love and started enjoying the company. Today we posted in groups if anyone can come forward and give some place and love.  Sri Pinnamaneni’s heart wrenching Experience      “Humbly and honestly, we are hoping to build more of this kind of nests and shelters soon and give a chance to these innocent lives. I am providing free water bowls every year to those interested in setting up on their roof tops. If you are ready to help to the needy i always fervently strive to be there. One winter day during dusk while on a walk, I saw a taxi parked on a roadside and driver is jumping into the car to get started possibly on a business. Then noticed a piece of cloth moving between the wheels, on a second look I realized it is puppy, instantly I rushed to the vehicle and shouted ( as glass panes closed) at the driver to hold on. Finally pulled the black slovenly, feeble puppy out, think he was blatantly brought and left to his fate.      I brought him home gave some food and comfort who then decided firmly to stay at my place giving another fiduciary responsibility. Now he is showing hell to all other dogs not letting them sleep, always asking to play. Eating food double that of bigger ones. Irrespectively I am happy for him as there is no leash, no rules, safety guaranteed, food right on time, friends to play with. Browny who is back after surgery has graciously taken the motherly responsibility of blacky.  Only thing is I must be visible and say hello often which I do gladly. *Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen* In 2020 During Pandemic more than TWO months GHHF provided food and water to Birds, Moneys, Cows, and Dogs. Sririnivas, the Board member of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) and who coordinates our activities in Karnataka and other States in India received requests from different sources about the pitiable condition of these animals.  DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned that chanting Sri Rama Rama Ramet Slokam is equal to chanting entire Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram

Arthur Schopenhauer "From every sentence (of the Upanishads) deep, original and sublime thoughts arise, and the whole is pervaded by a high and holy and earnest spirit...."In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. They are destined sooner or later to become the faith of the people."  Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform that we are conducting about 200 Bala Samskar Kendras in five States in India – Assam, Telangana, Andhra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. We have many active Hindus who are helping in different ways to ensure our children are taught about the richness of Sanatana Dharma. Each school is teaching different things and at the same time they follow the required syllabus to ensue all the students learn things that are common to all the students. It is challenging as the ages of the students varied from one school to another. This sloka has the power of Vishnu Sahasranama It is said that the mantra was first revealed to Sage Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana, by the sage Narada, who instructed him to meditate on the divine name of Rama. Valmiki repeated the name "Rama" three times, and from this came the powerful mantra "Shri Rama Rama Rameti". This timeless Ram mantra has been chanted by devotees for centuries as a means of seeking spiritual enlightenment and connecting with the divine. It is believed that the repetition of the mantra can purify the mind, remove negative energy, and bring about a sense of calm and inner peace. The Rama Rameti mantra is often used as a simplified version of the Vishnu Sahasranama Stotram, a Hindu scripture that lists the thousand names of Lord Vishnu. While the Vishnu Sahasranamam is an elaborate and detailed text, the Rama Rameti mantra is a concise and powerful chant that captures the essence of the Vishnu Sahasranama. Number Value: This mantra chanting three times is equivalent of chanting the whole Vishnu Saharanama. How is it possible. As per our numerology, each Sanskrit Consonant is assigned a number: R equals 2 and Ma equals 5, Rama is given a value of 2+5=10. Chanting of Rama three times means, it is chanting of 1000 time. Rama geta a value of 25. By chanting three times, it is equal to: 10X10X10: 1000. Parvati was very much alarmed at the ignorance and the consequent problems the people face on earth and asked Lord Shiva for the remedy.  He said Vishnu Sahasranama is the only solution to get rid of  their worldly sins and troubles. After listening to the Vishnu Sahasranama, she got worried and felt concerned with ordinary people who may not be able to chant 1000 names of Lord Vishnu “Sri Rama Rama Rameti Rame Raame Manorama; Sahasranama Tattulyam Rama Nama Varanane.” Meaning : This sloka is a part of Vishnu Sahasranamam, and it is recited at the end of Vishnu Sahasranamam. Goddess Parvathi asked Lord Shiva about the Sloka which can be easily be recited and it is equal to reciting Sahasranama. Then Lord Shiva told to Goddess Parvathi that chanting the Lord Rama name 3 times is equivalent to reciting the entire list of Lord Rama’s thousand names. That means chanting this “Sri Rama Rama ” sloka is equal to the entire Vishnu Sahasranamam. Benefits of Chanting By chanting “Rama Rama Rama” – the name of Rama, our mind gets absorbed in the divine consciousness of Rama, which is transcendental. The sacred name of Rama will wash off all our sins and we will have a peaceful and happy life. Whenever we chant the name of Rama, we are reminded of his message to the world:     Always do good     Follow Dharma (Right path) Be compassionate Be savior of feeble Respect parents and teachers. Also, by chanting the name of Rama, Hanumanji will always be there giving strength and fearlessness. DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] Organizing TEN Bala Sanskar Kendras in Bangladesh – Students are learning Vedic Slokas and Bhagavad Gita Verses; one Hindu Girl rescued from Love Jihad

Henry David Thoreau wrote:  “In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonical philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial.” Global Hindu Heritage is very happy to inform that we are organizing 10 Bala Samskar Kendras in Bangladesh. As many of you are aware that we started about 200 Bala Samskar Kendras in six States in India – Assam, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Madhya Pradesh - to teach about the richness of Hinduism, Hindu festivals, Hindu ethos, Hindu History, and culture and traditions. Swami Maheswara Chaitanya Brahmacharyaji has been coordinating and organizing activities in Bangladesh – Bala Samskar and other activities. He was responsible for identifying 10 teachers for  Bala Samskar. GHHF would like to express our appreciation to Swami Maheswarji for his passion and determination to coordinate and supervise these activities. Sri Maheswarji is a very active member in the community championing the Hindu Values not only to the children but also actively involved in making the Hindus proud of their culture. Bhagavad Gita Chanting Bala Samskar Kendras are being organized in ten different locations to impart the richness of our Sanatana Dharma. Swami Maheswarji is an ordained Swamiji who committed to teach various slokas and their meaning. He is making sure all the teachers are chanting the slokas properly as per tradition.  In every class they emphasize the importance of Bhagavad Gita and how many scholars across the globe appreciated the depth of the message. In fact, Ralph Waldo Emerson, American philosopher and poet   “I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-Gita. It was the first of books; it was as if 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 same questions that exercise us.”  The benefits of properly reciting slokas are as follows ;- 1.    Improves imagination 2.    Improves Pronunciation of tough words and provides higher degree of flexibility to tongue. 3.    Gives peace of mind. 4.    Helps to provide self-encouragement and courage during difficult times. 5.    Creates positive vibrations. Remove the confusion and indecision.  Bala Samskar teachers emphasize that  Lord Krishna delivers the message to remove the confusion and sorrow that engulfed Arjuna, who asks the question: “With a heart contaminated by the taint of helplessness, with a mind confounded as to my duty, I ask you to tell me what is assuredly good for me. I am your disciple. Instruct me who have thrown myself on your indulgence." As soon as he entered the battle field and observed the formation of armies ready to fight, he was overpowered by emotional upheaval.  Shocked at the prospects of meaningless slaughter of his kin and kith, Arjuna trembled and shivered. His weapon slipped from his arms, his legs failed him, his skin started burning, and his mouth parched. His discriminatory power was overpowered by grief, dejection, sorrow and depression. Knowing Arjuna is a warrior whose responsibility is to discharge his duty and fight instead of being fearful of the war, Lord Krishna condemned his desperation and denounced his attitude. Krishna’s message was that he should not be concerned about the death of his relatives, friends and gurus. There was no legitimate reason for him not to fight. He should not be indecisive and unclear about his role in life. He should rise to the challenge, lease aside his unmanliness and proceed to the battlefield as a Kshatriya. Lord Krishna says: “Undoubtedly, O Arjuna, the mind is restless and difficult to restrain, but it is subdued by any constant vigorous spiritual practice -- such as meditation -- with perseverance, and by detachment, O Arjuna. (6.35). Lord Krishna tells Arjuna to gain clarity on any given situation, ponder over it and develop clear, calm and collective mind to do his duty with no attachment.   He should not grieve over people who should not be grieved. It is the ignorance that makes one to think that the destruction of visible body is the destruction of the embodied spirit which is indestructible.  One Hindu Girl rescued Love Jihad is happening in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and other countries.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – learned about a story that teaches about the importance of associating with Trustworthy people.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, (1850-1919) famous American poet and journalist " India - the land of Vedas, the remarkable works contains not only religious ideas for a perfect life, but also facts which science has proved true. Electricity, radium, electronics, airship, all are known to the seers who founded the Vedas. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that we have started Bala Samskar Kendras (Schools for children and youth) to enrich them with the greatness of Hindu Dharma and appreciate the sacrifices many leaders have done to protect Bharat. There are many kings who have achieved new heights in their skills, talents, and strength. Unfortunately, Bharath denies its history to its own children and glorified the most undeserving rulers. The government has corrupted the minds of young students since Independence in 1947. It is our effort to teach them the greatness of our scriptures, enrich their minds with timeless wisdom, create a sense of pride through time-tested moral and ethical compasses, and make them proud of the science behind all our customs and traditions Why You Should Not Trust Anyone Easily? Reading moral stories to children helps to develop values in them without being preachy. Moral and ethical values have a significant role in shaping children's character. Reading moral stories are not just a great way to improve literacy skills, but they are also a smart and effective way to lay a strong moral foundation. Reading moral stories to kids helps them integrate family values and ethics, giving them a firm understanding of basic emotions. Story There lived a crow and a deer who had been friends since they were young. There was also a fox who craved to eat the plump and healthy deer. "It'll be delicious if I have this deer for lunch. But first and foremost, I must gain trust of the deer,' the cunning fox thought.  The fox returned the next day to the spot where the deer and the crow were having a chat as usual. "Hello, I've seen you a few times and I'd like to be your friend!" he said. "How can you be friends with us!" exclaimed the crow. The fox was quite clever and questioned him, asking, "Why can't a fox be friends with a crow and a deer? Please give me the opportunity to prove myself. I promise to be a nice friend!" Fox request to be friends with crow and deer But the clever fox could not convince the crow, his remarks barely convinced the deer. The deer told the crow, "Oh, he appears to be nice. We'll be able to meet him as a friend!" "Are you in your right mind? It's not possible!''   The crow screamed.   "That's ok, friends! 'I'll take your leave!' said the fox calmly as he walked away.  The next day, when the deer was alone, the fox returned and began speaking to him in a very sweet tone. "Hello, there's a farm nearby with an abundance of crops. If you go there, you can get fresh, green leaves" the fox advised.  The deer was persuaded by the fox's words and changed his mind. "All right, let's go!" agreed the deer. Soon after, the fox led the deer to that field, where the deer jumped with delight. When it saw the field, it went jumping and began enjoying eating the grass. "Oh, thank you so much! I had enough. Let's go back to the jungle, shall we?" the deer said. The fox paused for a moment before implementing its second plan. It mentioned something bad about the crow, and the deer stopped meeting with it. From then on, the fox and the deer went to the field together. Those were the crops of a farmer. He was examining his field one day when he noticed that it had been damaged. He felt angry and instantly recognized the deer's footsteps. He immediately devised a strategy for catching the deer and spread the net throughout the field. The next day, the deer arrived in the field as usual, only to get caught in the farmer's net. As soon as the deer entered the field, it was immediately trapped. This made the fox very happy because it was part of his plan. The fox's mouth watered as he thought to himself, "My lunch is waiting for me." The delighted fox ran behind a tree to hide. The crow, on the other hand, happened to fly above the farm. "It appears to be my friend! It's in  trouble. I have to help" says the crow to himself.  "Oh, my friend! Please forgive me! I deserved it because I didn't listen to you. You've warned me about the fox" the deer cried. The crow told the deer to act as if it was dead as the farmer approached. The crow pricked the deer's eyes in accordance with their strategy. The farmer assumed the deer was dead soon after. The deer fled as soon as the farmer had the net in his hands. The crow saved the deer, and they reunited as best friends. Lessons from the Story Remember the crow.  It had always been a friend. It gave good advice to the deer and also cautioned the fox. Never fall prey to others who use honey-dew words since they could be harmful at any time. Make sure you choose your friends carefully. Your friends are among the great people who will always be there for you, not only in happy times but also in times of danger. True friendship, on the other hand, does not ask anything in return. Conclusion As in the story, we have to be cautious of people who make friends solely to fulfil their malicious goals. They may appear to be lovely, but in truth, they are never trustworthy.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras in Kurnool – Students visited Mantralayam Temple to have a Darshan of Sri Raghavendra Swamy

Louis Renou "Truth is for Hinduism an indivisible treasure; spiritual immediacy is widely distributed, the mystic path is open to everyone. In its purest forms, this religion becomes a type of wisdom, that wisdom which impressed the ancient Greeks when they visited India and which could be of some fruitfulness again for our base cultures. It is as wisdom that we should like to define Hinduism rather than by the equivocal term spirituality." Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that we have started Bala Samskar Kendras (Schools for children and youth) to enrich them with the greatness of Hindu Dharma and appreciate the sacrifices many leaders have done to protect Bharat. There are many kings who have achieved new heights in their skills, talents, and strength. Unfortunately, Bharath denies its history to its own children and glorified the most undeserving rulers. The government has corrupted the minds of young students since Independence in 1947. It is our effort to teach them the greatness of our scriptures, enrich their minds with timeless wisdom, create a sense of pride through time-tested moral and ethical compasses, and make them proud of the science behind all our customs and traditions. Visited Mantralayam Students were taken to Mantralayam where they gad darshan of Raghavendra Swamy. The teacher told them about some of the miracles of Swam. Sri Raghavendra Swamy was born in 1601 A.D. at Bhuvanagiri (Tamil Nadu), by the benign Grace of Lord Venkateswara, when all the planets were in exalted and auspicious houses, bestowing a long divine life, (700 years) full of miracles and healing powers for the welfare of humanity. He ruled the Vedic Samrajya from 1624 to 1671. His 331st Aradhana was celebrated on August 24, when lakhs of devotees thronged Mantralayam and the hundreds of Brindavans in India and abroad. Venkatacharya, as the saint was known, got married to Saraswathy and the two were leading a happy life, even though they were extremely poor. Also they had implicit faith in God. When Venkatacharya was crowned as Saint Raghavendraswamy, Saraswathy, unable to withstand the pangs of separation committed suicide. By His divine powers, Swami sent her to heaven. While touring Kumbakonam, Sri Raghavendraswamy was invited to attend a function, with his wife and son. The head of the family requested him to make sandalwood paste, using a grinding slab. It was Swami's practice to recite Vedic Mantras, mentally. The paste was given to all the guests, who smeared it on their bodies. And they complained of a burning sensation all over. The Swami, tendering his sincere apology, explained that he was inadvertently reciting Agni Stothram, while grinding. He again invoked Lord Varuna and made a paste, which had a cooling effect on every one. A royal Prince was bitten by a cobra and died immediately. When Swami was told about this, he had the venom extracted by the same snake and the Prince recovered. A devotee, who met with an accident, also got another lease of life. Raghunatha Rao arranged a special puja for Sri Raghavendraswamy in his house. Mango juice was prepared in a large vessel and kept in the kitchen. His only child fell into the vessel and drowned. Invoking Sri Moola Rama, the Swami sprinkled holy padhodhaka water on the child, bringing it back to life. The miraculous healing powers of Sri Raghavendraswamy spread far and wide. Some unscrupulous and mischievous boys wanted to test the Swami. On his route, one of them lay down pretending to be dead fully covered by a white cloth. The understanding was that he should not get up when Swami sprinkled water and asked him to rise. He should get up when the command was given by them. The drama was enacted and wailing friends asked Swami to revive the boy. Swami simply said that his life span was over and hence nothing could be done. He was indeed dead and did not awaken when the mocking gang asked him to. In Sirasangi, a gentle man with an intention to test his powers, gave him a wooden rod covered with steel caps at both ends, and asked him to make it grow into a plant. After meditation, Swami planted it in the soil and sprinkled holy water on it. The dead wood started sprouting. This miracle is incorporated in the Suprabhatam of Sri Raghavendraswamy, in Sanskrit. Out of profound regard for Sri Raghavendraswamy, the Badshah of Bijapur, presented a rare gem-studded golden necklace. The Swami offered it to God and placed it in the Yaga Kundam. The Badshah was much annoyed and expressed his feeling. The Swami put his hand in the fire, retrieved the chain in the same condition and gave it back. When Sri Guru Rayar was proceeding to Adoni, Venkanna, a cow-herd boy prostrated before him. The Swami blessed him and advised him to pray at the time of adversities. After a few days, the Nawab of Adoni, who was passing by, stopped and asked Venkanna to read a message from the neighbouring King. The illiterate boy expressed his inability to read. A furious Nawab threatened to kill him if he did not read. Venkanna earnestly prayed to Sri Raghavendraswamy to save him. Most surprisingly, he read the entire text. As there was very good news in the message, the king made him the Dewan of Adoni. After learning about the miraculous powers of Swami, the Nawab decided to test him. He told his Dewan to take him to Guruji. He took meat on a silver plate covered with a silk cloth and offered it. After sprinkling water, Swami asked his disciples to remove the silk cloth revealing fruits. The Nawab fell at Swami's feet soliciting his person. Also he requested the Swami to ask for any favour or gift. Guruji asked him to hand over Manchala village, which has come to be known as Manthralayam. It is at this holy place that Bhakta Prahlada performed a great yaga. In 1671, Sri Raghavendra-swamy asked his followers to construct a Brindavan around him, at Manthralayam. He sat there playing on the veena and sang ``Indhu Enege Sri Govindha'' in Bhairavi invoking Lord Krishna to dance before him. He then controlled his breath and a Brindavan was constructed around him, placing 300 Vishnu Saligramas over his head. It is believed that he is alive inside the Brindavan, another 600 years, performing miracles. His very affectionate devotee, Appannacharya, was late in reaching Manthralaya, by which time the construction of the Brindavan was completed. A sorrow-stricken Appannacharya could not complete an important sloka. From inside, the Swami prompted him with the words, ``Sakshi Hayatsothruhi.'' When Sir Thomas Munroe was the Collector of Bellary in 1800, the Madras Government ordered him to procure the entire income from the Math and Manthralaya village. When the Revenue officials were unable to comply with this order, Sir Thomas Munroe visited the Math for investigation. He removed his hat and shoes and entered the sacred precincts. Sri Raghavendraswamy emerged from the Brindavan and conversed with him for sometime, about the resumption of endowment. The Saint was visible and audible only to Munroe who received Manthraksha. The Collector went back and wrote an order in favour of the Math and the village. This notification was published in the Madras Government Gazette in Chapter XI and page 213, with the caption ``Manchali Adoni Taluka''. This order is still preserved in Fort St. George and Manthralayam. All the priests in the Math were much annoyed, because in spite of their long and sincere service, he did not give them darshan. That night, Guruji appeared in the dream of the chief priest and told him that as Prahaladha, he and Munroe were class-mates in Kritha Yuga and he was destined to perform this noble deed of solving the Math's problem. Hence the unique privilege. An ardent devotee, who suffered a massive heart attack, and was given up for dead is said to have been revived by Swami who blessed him in person. In another instance, a sceptic person, who questioned the significance of Thursday fasting, was made to realise its importance and he is now a steadfast devotee. Swami appeared before his devotee who had just completed the Sri Satyanarayana Puja and gave her manthrakshe. A famous film distributor in Chitradurga, had this experience. One morning, all his family members were away, except their servant, a Muslim, who was mopping the floor. Sri Raghavendraswamy stood before him and said in Kannada, ``Dhari bidu'', meaning ``make way''. He went towards the Puja room, which was locked, and it opened on its own. He had sprinkled water from the front door up to the Puja room, while entering. When the servant went inside, he could not see the ``stranger'' and was shocked to find the Puja room open. When the family members returned, he narrated the incident about the ``stranger''. When they showed him a picture of Sri Raghavendraswamy, he said that it was that very person who came there. Incidentally, the distributor had helped generously in the construction of Brindavans all over the country and Swami had sanctified his house, with holy water. A devotee in Bangalore had the unique experience of Swami receiving him at the Math. The devotee reached the Math at 1 p.m. and the doors were locked. Crestfallen he was about to retreat when an old priest asked him to come inside. The devotee had darshan and received the prasadam. It was only after he came out did he learn that he had just been involved in a miracle because a person he met outside said that he had the keys to the locked door and it was none other than Swami who had blessed him. And in several cases Swami has blessed childless couples with progeny. B.K.S. Varma, the famous artist of Karnataka, painted a picture of Sri Raghavendraswamy, in a sitting posture and writing on palm leaves. The painting was almost complete, except for the eyes. As it was very late in the night, he was much tired and fell asleep by the side of the photograph. Sri Raghavendraswamy appeared in his dream and told him that he himself would complete the picture by painting the eyes. When the artist woke up in the morning, the eyes were in place looking radiant. Copies of the precious picture were printed at Bangalore and were all quickly sold. One of them is at the Rayar Math in Saligramam, Chennai.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Hanuman’s Birthday. His role in Ramayana and His bravery.

Mark Tully, former BBC correspondent in India, "The Kumbh Mela could only take place in India. In no other country would millions and millions of pilgrims, driven just by faith that the sins of this life and previous lives would be washed away by bathing in the confluence of two rivers at an auspicious time, brave severe hardships, some walking barefooted, to get to bathe. Where else would you find hundreds of holy men willing to march naked in processions through the crowds of pilgrims, or one thousand Brahmins sitting around a hundred sacred fires offering a sacrifice for world peace?" At what gathering of one religion would you find such a variety of teaching, such an acceptance that there are many ways to God?" Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that we have started Bala Samskar Kendras (Schools for children and youth) to enrich them with the greatness of Hindu Dharma and appreciate the sacrifices many leaders have done to protect Bharat. There are many kings who have achieved new heights in their skills, talents, and strength. Unfortunately, Bharath denies its history to its own children and glorified the most undeserving rulers. The government has corrupted the minds of young students since Independence in 1947.

[GHHF] Update on activities at the Ground Level May 1-10

Yoshio Mikami (1875-1950) Japanese mathematician “Things Indian exercised supremacy in art and literature, in philosophy, in the mode of life and the thoughts of the inhabitants, in everything. It is even said, astronomy and calendrical arts had also felt their influence. How then could arithmetic remain unaffected? No doubt the Chinese studied the arithmetical works of the Hindoos.” As many of our readers may not be able to keep up with our daily reporting of our grass root activities, GHHF decided to update all the articles once every ten days. Hence, we are summarizing our activities between May 1-10. 1. Bala Samskara Kendras in West Godavari District – Students learned and practiced Suryanamakaras from a Yoga teacher (5/1/23) What is Surya Namaskar? Some of the teachers in West Godavari Bala Samskara Kendras invited a Yoga teacher and requested him to teach Suryanamaskar to the students. In Sanskrit, Surya means sun and namaskar means greeting or salutation. Surya Namaskar is then a greeting to the sun! It is an ancient ritual of twelve steps that warms up the body preparing it for yoga practice. That is why it is practiced at the beginning of a yoga class. This warming sequence has a rich history and holistic benefits for the body and mind. Read more to find out about this widely known and ancient yoga practice! https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskara-kendras-in-west-godavari-district-students-learned-and-practiced-suryanamakaras-from-a-yoga-teacher/1590 2. Bala Samskar Kendras in Bapatla – Drawing pictures improves coordination, imagination, visualization and synchronization among Children. (5/2/23) Drew Pictures: One of the teachers, Sukanya, has conducted the class encouraging children draw the images of their imagination. The students drew the pictures of Lord Ganesh, Unicorn, deer, duck, peacock, hen, school boy, queen etc. While random drawing can help improve your focus, drawing specific items or ideas can help you remember them better. In another study cited in an article on Inc.com, participants were asked to either write or draw words from a list. Those who drew the words had a higher retention rate than those who wrote down the words. “Drawing what you have understood from a reading passage, drawing the science experiment you have just done or drawing the detail of an autumn leaf are all examples of engaging with the same learning from a different angle,” Adoniou says https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendras-in-bapatla-drawing-pictures-improves-coordination-imagination-visualization-and-synchronization-among-children/1591 3. Bala Samskar Kendras in Six States in India – Learning to chant Hanuman Chalisa few Slokas a day. (5/3/23) Learning Hanuman Chalisa: With the help of Lord Hanuman, Tulasidas was able get the darshan of Lord Rama. Rama told him,“ My son, your love alone has brought me here. You are truly blessed. From now on you shall be known as Tulsidas. It is your duty to write the story of the Ramayana in simple language that the common people can understand.” Tulsidas was astounded, “My Lord!” he said. “I am totally incapable of writing on such a great subject. All I know is to chant your name. How can I fulfill your command?” Rama looked lovingly at him and said, “Fear not. You will be given guidance by Hanuman, who is not only erudite but also filled with devotion. He has been a living witness to the story of my life. He is the best person to guide you.” Thus, it happened that Tulsidas started writing the Ramayana in the common man’s language, Awadhi, which was a dialect of Hindi. It was written in the year AD 1575. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendras-in-six-states-in-india-learning-to-chant-hanuman-chalisa-few-slokas-a-day.-/1592 4. Bala Samskar Kendras in Assam – Learned about Srinivasa Ramanujan, mathematical genius who composed 3900 equations (5/5/23) Srinivasa Ramanujan FRS (22 December 1887 – 26 April 1920) was an Indian mathematician and autodidact. Though he had almost no formal training in pure mathematics, he made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions. Ramanujan initially developed his own mathematical research in isolation; it was quickly recognized by Indian mathematicians. When his skills became apparent to the wider mathematical community, centered in Europe at the time, he began a famous partnership with the English mathematician G. H. Hardy. He rediscovered previously known theorems in addition to producing new theorems. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-bala-samskar-kendras-in-assam-learned-about-srinivasa-ramanujan-mathematical-genius-who-composed-3900-equations/1594 5. “Meet and Greet” to discuss about the importance of Ground level activities in North Potomac, MD (5/6/23 On May 5th evening, we talked about the declining Hindu population day by day while Christians and Muslims expanding their numbers day by day.  We are alarmed, disturbed, and shocked to see, read, and witness the persistent attacks on Hindu Temples and Sanatana Dharma. Our Bharat Mata (Mother India) is being attacked, stabbed, stifled, and suffocated. We as Hindus cannot remain silent, indifferent, apathetic, feel hopeless and remain a spectator. We must discharge our dharma and protect our Mother India. We as Hindus individually cannot do everything that is needed to protect our mother, but we can do something. YES, we can do individually or in association with others or other organizations, engage in activities that can make the difference at the ground level. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-meet-and-greet-to-discuss-about-the-importance-of-ground-level-activities-in-north-potomac-virginia/1595 6. Discussion on “For Survival of Hinduism, working at ground level is essential in India.” At Samskrit Bhavan in Aldie, MD on May 6; Formed GHHF Chapter (5/7/23) Hindu House is on fire. Our lives are in danger, our values are in peril, and our future is bleak. When our house is on fire, we need to take every step to extinguish the flames to stop the spread of fire. We have to temporarily pause all our activities. We have to prioritize our actions and our efforts. Unless we put out the fires first, they will spread not only to Andhra but all the states in India. Hinduism is under siege! It is being ambushed by different groups – Hindus, Christians, Muslims, Media, Secularists, Communists, Politicians, and movie fields. Hindu leaders are being killed every day with no recourse. Our Swamiji’s and Peethadhipathis are smeared openly in the media with false charges and systematically eliminated some of them and silenced them with false charges and propaganda. Hindus must wake up and engage in stopping the erosion of the Hindu population and expanding the Hindu base. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-discussion-on-for-survival-of-hinduism-working-at-ground-level-is-essential-in-india.-at-samskrit-bhavan-in-aldie-md-on-may-6-formed-ghhf-chapter/1596 7. Bala Samskara Kendra Students learn ed about the poet Venkamamba who composed and sang songs on Sri Venkateswara. (8/5/23)   Our teachers talked about one of the greatest devotees of Lord Venkateshwara. Tarigonda Vengamamba (alternate spelling: Venkamamba; 20 April 1730 – 21 August 1817), also known as Matrusri Tarigonda Vengamamba,[2] was a poet and staunch devotee of God Venkateshwara in the 18th century. She wrote numerous poems and songs.   https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhfbala-samskara-kendra-students-learn-ed-about-the-poet-venkamamba-who-composed-and-sang-songs-on-sri-venkateswara/1597 8. Prana Prathishta was performed to Sri Pothuluru Veera Brahmendra Swamy in a New Temple in Andhra Pradesh (9/5/23) Sri Gopi Chary has been visiting this village for more than a year and encouraging them to build Sri Veera Brahmendra Swamy Temple in Andepalli Village in Anantapur District. He performed Prana Prathishta to the Vigraha along with Lord Ganesha and Gangamma Talli vigrahas in the Temple.  In the beginning, he encouraged villagers to start Bhajan sessions and taught them to sing several bhajans mainly to develop bhakti in the deities. He promised the villagers to help install and make them participate in all the rituals irrespective of caste. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-prana-prathishta-was-performed-to-sri-pothuluru-veera-brahmendra-swamy-in-a-new-temple-in-andhra-pradesh/1598 9. Spoke about the importance of Grass Roots effort to revive Hinduism for the survival of Humanity at Non-Profit Organizations meeting in Sterling, VA. (10/5/23) Either we call it open mindedness, secularism, atheism, a disease, universal philosophy, It is only Hindus who start all kinds of national and regional associations instead of starting Hindu organizations. You never see other religious people starting these kinds of organizations to promote togetherness and equality. The main two religions would not respect Hinduism and openly talk about the demise of Hinduism. Our Hindus close their minds and eyes and talk about universal brotherhood and equality. No national organization like India Associations do not for the promotion and promotion of Hinduism. We have been writing so many books on various subjects for so many centuries to benefit a small percentage of the population, giving lectures, discussing endlessly, suggesting many solutions without taking any concrete action to expand our Hindu base. https://www.savetemples.org/post/ghhf-spoke-about-the-importance-of-grass-roots-effort-to-revive-hinduism-for-the-survival-of-humanity-at-non-profit-organizations-meeting-in-sterling-va/1599 DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] 750 Tribal and Poor Ladies mostly Christians were honored in Visakhapatnam

[GHHF] 750 Tribal and Poor Ladies mostly Christians were honored in Visakhapatnam Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in Collaboration with Sri Saidatta Manasa Peetham honored tribal and poor ladies in Vishakhapatnam area on Sunday (May 24th). Sri Sai Datta Swamiji went to few villages and tribal areas and invited them and explained the procedure. As some of you may be aware that many of them have been converted to Christianity.                GHHF is very much interested in reconverting the Christians into Hindu fold. Many of these people in these villages were converted with some inducement and by deception. Not knowing any thing about our culture and due to their lack of education, they converted to Christianity. Christianity prospers where there is ignorance. Christianity declines where there is high literacy. In  European countries, Christianity is declining and may be about 10 percent may be going to Churches.  Similarly, in USA also the number Christians attending the churches are declining year by year.                  It is our duty to look at the rate of conversion and how deceptively they are converting gullible and innocent Hindus is well documented. Many of the converted Christians have no idea why they are converted and have no clue about what they are talking. The Christian pastors have created so much fear among these people that Satan will haunt them if they go back to their ancestral religion.                Out of 750 ladies who came to function about 600 ladies are Christians. Sri Saidatta Swamy explained that they will be received by applying Tilak on their forehead and will also offer Prasadam for everybody to consume.                All the ladies who came to the ashram were given Kumkum, Turmeric, 5KG Rice, and one Saree. They were all given Prasad before they left. May of them even commented that Christianity does not belong to us. It is foreign. Our culture is ours to follow.                             We are very happy to see so many Christian ladies coming and receiving our Prasadam,  applying Tilak and chanting Jai Sree Ram three times. {{album_54}}
