https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtFftYNePtE Bringing families who had left their native faith due to external influences back into the Hindu Dharma is a noble and sacred endeavor undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF). Recently, GHHF organized a special pilgrimage (Teerth Yatra) for families who returned to their ancestral faith through the Ghar Wapsi program. This journey was not just a visit to holy sites; it offered a spiritual rebirth and immense peace of mind to these families who had emerged from external religious influences and re-entered the embrace of Sanatana Dharma. A Spiritual Journey Steeped in Power, Devotion, and Tradition The families participating in this pilgrimage experienced profound spiritual moments as they visited several sacred pilgrimage sites in South India. The journey began with a visit to Jogulamba Ammavaru, one of the Shakti Peethas. This darshan at the Shakti Peetha infused the families with new energy and spiritual inspiration. In the divine presence of the Mother Goddess, they unburdened their hearts and found deep peace. Subsequently, this sacred journey continued towards Srisailam. Here, the family members had the darshan of Mallikarjuna Swamy, one of the Dwaadasha Jyotirlingas, and Bhramaramba Ammavaru, one of the Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas. The atmosphere at Srisailam was brimming with devotion. The pilgrimage, which began with a Nagara Sankeertana (a procession with devotional singing), enthralled devotees with bhajans. The sacred chants of Shiva's name and the resounding bhajans echoed through the Srisailam hills. This was more than just a divine darshan; it showcased collective devotion and unified strength. The journey then proceeded to the Mahanandi pilgrimage site. After offering prayers to Mahanandi Swamy, the pilgrims reached Yaganti. Participating in the Shivaparvatula Kalyana Mahotsavam (celestial wedding ceremony of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati) at Yaganti provided them with a lifelong memory. By being part of this sacred ceremony, they once again comprehended the greatness of righteous living, family values, and Sanatana traditions. "Purified from Sin" – Hearts Overflowing with Joy This pilgrimage not only offered a spiritual experience but also brought immense mental tranquility to the families who returned to their native faith. The conflict and confusion they had previously experienced due to external religious influences vanished, replaced by the satisfaction of reconnecting with their roots. Their expression, "We have been purified from sin," eloquently conveyed the significant positive change this journey brought into their lives. The Ghar Wapsi program undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is not merely about preventing religious conversions. It plays a crucial role in warmly welcoming back those who had deviated from their native faith and reintegrating them with their cultural and spiritual heritage. Through this pilgrimage, these families are empowered to embrace a dharma-abiding lifestyle and traditions, thereby regaining a respected position in society. This stands as a testament to the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's commitment, its dedication to preserving Hindu Dharma, and its tireless efforts to protect society from adverse external religious influences. For organizations like GHHF to continuously undertake such numerous programs, your cooperation is extremely vital. We seek your support in preserving our culture and Dharma.  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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaK1aX55CT4 In this inspiring and deeply personal speech, the speaker shares their journey of spiritual discovery and the heartfelt reasons behind choosing Hinduism among thousands of world religions. Drawing from lived experiences and timeless wisdom, this message explores inner peace, unity in diversity, and the profound truths that guided one soul toward a path of acceptance, growth, and inner transformation—delivered in the empowering style inspired by Oprah Winfrey. The following are some of the statements. Please watch the video. Every word is worth listening to. Her appreciation and her experience are worth listening to.  Hinduism didn't tell me what to think. It showed me how to think, how to feel, how to connect with something greater than myself. It didn't demand my loyalty. It invited my experience Hinduism didn't tell me what to think. It showed me how to think, how to feel, how to connect with something greater than myself.  It didn't demand my loyalty. It invited my experience. In a world with thousands of religions I chose one that made room for all of them I chose a path that honors questions as much as answers silence as much as sound. In a world with thousands of religions I chose one that made room for all of them I chose a path that honors questions as much as answers silence as much as sound.  And that choice changed everything. There was a time when I thought I had all the answers. Raised with certain beliefs surrounded by certain voices I accepted the truth that was handed to me like a script I never questioned. And then I encountered Hinduism not through a textbook or a tour guide but through experience, through moments.  A line in the Bhagavad Gita that stopped me mid-sentence. A chant that gave me goosebumps without understanding a single word.   A temple visit that left me breathless in its silence. What struck me wasn't the complexity or the mythology, it was the freedom. For the first time I didn't feel like I was being asked to surrender my question. I was being invited to sit with them. Hinduism didn't hand me a final answer and ask me to memorize it.  It asked me to go deeper to keep asking, to keep exploring.  It didn't claim to be the only truth. It embraced all truths as facets of one infinite reality.  It didn't speak of heaven as a reward or hell as a punishment.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaK1aX55CT4

“Ether, air, fire, water, earth, planets, all creatures, directions, trees and plants, rivers and seas, they are all organs of God’s body. Remembering this a devotee respects all species.” (Shrimad Bhagavatam, 2.2.41) As many are aware, that United Nations started the program to protect the environment bay making people aware of the potential danger to the globe in terms of high temperatures, pollution, cold weather, draught and food shortages. World Environment Day was established in 1972 by the United Nations at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment (5–16 June 1972), that had resulted from discussions on the integration of human interactions and the environment. One year later, in 1973 the first WED was held with the theme "Only One Earth". World Environment Day is celebrated in June 2025. Along with planting saplings to preserve the greenery that produces oxygen that helps humanity to breathe fresh air. One of the main themes of World Environment Day is “Only One Earth”, focusing on “Living Sustainably in Harmony with Nature”. To protect the environment, Bala Samskar Kendra Students in Assam celebrated World Environment Day by planting more than 200 saplings. Students were very enthusiastic and enjoyed planting the saplings. Planting trees helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, prevent soil erosion, and create habitats for wildlife. We need to remember that we only have one Earth and are running out of time to save our planet. Which is why the theme for this year’s World Environment Day — only one Earth — fits the world situation perfectly. It focuses on the need to live sustainably in harmony with nature, and our possibilities for shifting to a greener lifestyle through both policies and individual choices.  UN Environment Program says, “We must shift from harming the planet to healing it. We must protect what we have & bring back what we lost to advance to a better, more sustainable future, where all species can thrive. Therefore, World Environment Day calls for “collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet,” encouraging everyone, everywhere, to live sustainably and address the climate change.” Hinduism and the Environment. Christopher Framarin’s book “Hinduism and Environmental Ethics: Law, Literature, and Philosophy” breaks new ground in the field by being the first monograph to address the question of how Hindu philosophy can offer a coherent, systematic approach to environmental ethics. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities.

(Note: Global Hindu Heritage Foundation and Dharma Jagruti Foundation are conducting Santana Dharma classes to the youth for 12 weeks starting from May 25 in Frisco Texas. On June 8, 2025, we talked about the importance of Pradakshina, Super brain Yoga and God eating Naivedyam. Discussed about the benefits one accrues by application Bindi on the forehead.) Super Brain Yoga Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi explains the origins of Super Brain Yoga, the puranic stories related to this yoga, how is practiced, the health and physical benefits and voluminous research conducted across USA and India. Super brain yoga is performed by holding the left ear with right hand fingers and the right by left hand fingers and simultaneously sitting and standing in front of Lord Ganesha and seeking his blessings.      Two stories are narrated in our Puranas with the practice of Super brain Yoga. Many Hindus do this Super brain yoga in front of Lord Ganesha, who is known for intelligence and knowledge. Proper holding of the earlobes, the major acupuncture point,  stimulates the mouth, eyes, temples, testes, ovaries, forehead, and brain.  The research conducted to find out the benefits revealed that the students who practiced this technique have fewer symptoms of autism, dyslexia, ADD (attention deficit disorder), ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), Down syndrome and show fewer emotional disturbance. Other benefits include improved sex drive, lower psychological stress, promotes mental clarity and focus, increases creativity and intelligence, and an increase in calmness and inner peace which can further aid in appetite control and overall health management.      Many Universities in India and USA are conducting research on high school students who have found out that they experienced less frustration, improved class participation, lowered anxiety and fear, improved standardized test scores, and increased peer association. They also showed more compassion, kindness, and generosity. Pradakshina Pradakshina is going around or circumambulating the deity in Garbhagudi with devotion, with folded hands. The circumference of a circle is equidistant from the center. This means that wherever we may be or whoever we may be, we are equally close to the Lord. His grace flows towards us without partiality. Pra means toward, onward, forward;  Dakshina means south.  The Pradakshina is always done in a clockwise direction, but do we know the reason behind it? This is because we always believe that God exists in the center of the universe. He is the center of our very existence. He is Omnipresent. So, when we do pradakshina in a clockwise direction, we believe that all our actions and thoughts are centered on God, the universal power of the world. The center point remains fixed at all times no matter what distance we perform the pradakshina Naivedyam/Prasdam Lord Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad-Gita (9.26), “If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it.” If there is no love and devotion behind the offering, the magnitude of the offering is not important to Him. Types of Naivedyam: Naivedyam can be of different types depending on the occasion, deity and region. Some of the common types of Naivedyam are fruits, eatables and food items such as curd rice, Pongal, lemon rice, milk rice, sweet Pongal, payasam and ghee rice. "Does God eat the food that offer? If He does, why has the vessel not been emptied?" A child may ask a teacher, "Does God eat the offering we made, why didn't he finish the food? “ Teacher aske the children to read s simple mantra written in the book: “Om Ganeshyana Maha.” and learn it by heart. Then the teacher asked them to chat, which they did. The teacher said, the Mantra is still in the book. How can you say you got it. Then he started talking about the difference between gross and subtle state.

At the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), we're doing a lot of good work, and one of the most important programs is "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home." GHHF has many full-time activists in various districts who conduct a lot of activities in villages. Among these, the "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" program is crucial. We're doing these programs not just in regular villages but also in remote forest areas. Why are we doing this important work? Well, it's to help people understand the greatness of Hindu Dharma, to make them aware of the dangers of religious conversions, and to expose the lies spread by conversion groups. What's more, this "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" is super helpful in speaking directly with families who have, unfortunately, converted to other religions, and gently bringing them back to Hindu Dharma. Our main aim is to unite the entire Hindu society and ensure everyone knows we're all one. GHHF conducts this "Dharma Pracharam in Every Home" not just in towns and villages, but also deep inside remote tribal and forest regions. For instance, recently, GHHF full-time activists from Alluri Sitharama Raju District, Sri Subbareddy Garu and Sri Suryam Garu, conducted this program in Yerramreddypalem, a tribal village in Y. Ramavaram Mandal, Andhra Pradesh. They're actively educating tribal communities in many forest villages about Hindu Dharma and conducting various awareness programs to prevent anyone from converting in those areas. These kinds of good deeds help our Dharma reach everyone, increase awareness among people, and strengthen society. GHHF truly hopes you'll become a part of this great effort. Please consider offering your support and cooperation to help us expand this program even further and appoint more full-time activists in many more villages.  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.

  Following the village committee meeting during the Rayalaseema tour, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, held a crucial meeting with Bal Samskar Kendra teachers at the Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Ammavari Devasthanam Mandapam in Kalyandurgam, Anantapuram district. Teachers from all 20 Bal Samskar Kendras operated by GHHF in Anantapuram district participated in this program. Guiding Teachers for Holistic Change in Children In this meeting, Sri Rajesh explained to the Bal Samskar Kendra teachers what kind of change they should strive to bring about in children. He particularly emphasized various aspects, such as fostering leadership qualities in children, molding them into great orators, and training them to work for Hinduism. He clarified that this is not merely about literacy but about the goal of developing cultured citizens with a strong sense of Dharma. Expanding the Role of Teachers: From School to Village Sri Rajesh advised Bal Samskar Kendra teachers not only to educate children but also to cultivate good relationships with their parents and to stay informed about the children's progress. Furthermore, he urged them to organize spiritual programs in the village through the children and to actively work for the broader protection of Hindu Dharma. This encourages teachers to be key partners in Dharma propagation within society, rather than limiting their role to textbooks alone. A Testament to GHHF's Vision This meeting clearly illustrates GHHF's vision: strengthening the grassroots system through village committees on one hand, and laying strong spiritual foundations for future generations by training Bal Samskar Kendra teachers on the other. Your support is crucial for GHHF's magnificent efforts.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is doing yeoman service to meet the needs of the Flood victims in Assam. The Team members are working 14-16 hours a day going to remote villages even at their risk to help the needy. City officials and other authorities appreciate our selfless, dedicated service to our teams.  The following are some of the highlights of their activities on April 6th.  •    The Church refused to help its congregation members. But GHHF stood beside the converted Dalit Christian families and provided significant support during this flood. •    Last night at around 12.30 am., Samrat Dutt, GHHF Board member received a call from one of our Adhibasi worker saying that 25 Christian families badly affected by flood who were converted to Christianity many years back. The church refused to help them as they are from lower class community. They did not allow them to stay at the church guest house. They had to take shelter elsewhere. The moment h got the call, Samrat informed local team to arrange relief materials for these Christian families immediately •    On June 6th, at 6 am Samrat along with his team members started their journey from Silchar to Rampur, Borkhola and after two hours of journey reached the spot, distributed relief materials like rice, dal, soyabean, potato, milk, biscuits etc. to them.  •    They visited the near Church which was locked. We assured them to help, instructed local GHHF, HYM cadres to be in touch with them and try to make the Dalit Christians understand the fact that for money they converted, as such Church or upper-class Christian community has no emotional attachment with them. They just used them. They should think about returning to Hinduism. •    Desperate to do seva and help the community, GHHF workers took a dangerous decision to reach Dudpatil village on a fishing boat. •    The Disaster management Cachar asked GHHF to help provide relief. Our Cader helped visit one of the remote areas. Just look at the face of the lady, she was happy to receive 20-liter water jar as we have been informed by the local that for the last five days there was total shortage and scarcity of drinking water in this area.

After the survey it came to our knowledge that the government provided some food items, but they didn't give anything to the children of the local community. Parents and villagers requested to do something for children. We adopted this area and distributed milk, baby biscuits, bananas, and bread for the children for the last four days. We shall continue it for the next two days. Hopefully after two days they will return to their locality where they belong as the water level is decreasing in their locality.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfROf010sw0 Beginning the third day of the Rayalaseema tour, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, held a crucial meeting at the Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Ammavari Devasthanam Mandapam in Kalyandurgam, Anantapuram district. This wasn't just a meeting; it was a testament to GHHF's strategy for grassroots Hindu Dharma protection and the strengthening of its village committees. The Necessity and Coordination of Village Committees The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation undertakes numerous programs in every village where it operates. While GHHF has full-time workers dedicated to Hinduism, it's not feasible for them to visit every village daily. Therefore, GHHF forms village committees and coordinates with their members to execute programs. This meeting was specifically designed to empower these committees further. Guiding Committee Members on Responsibilities and Action Plans During the meeting, Sri Rajesh primarily provided clear guidance to committee members on their responsibilities and the programs they should undertake for Hindu Dharma in their respective villages. He also informed them about various successful programs being conducted by GHHF in different regions. This inspired them and encouraged them to work with greater enthusiasm in their villages. Grassroots Feedback and Discussion on Change Sri Rajesh directly inquired from the committee members about GHHF programs in their villages, their results, and the changes observed in the community. This feedback session provided an opportunity to understand the ground realities and to formulate future plans more effectively. Over 150 committee members enthusiastically participated in this crucial meeting. Participation of Dignitaries and Speeches on Hinduism Distinguished guests, including Sri Venkataramana Garu, District Coordinator of Vishwa Hindu Parishad from Anantapuram district, Sri Nageswara Reddy Garu, District In-charge of Samarasata Foundation, and Sri J.D. Bhaskar Garu, District Karyavaha Pramukh of RSS, participated in this event as special invitees. All of them enlightened the committee members on various aspects of Hinduism, further enhancing their spiritual fervor. In this video, witness the village committee meeting held in Kalyandurgam and the efforts being made to strengthen GHHF's grassroots activities. Your continued support is essential for these committees and GHHF, who play a vital role in protecting Dharma.  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.
