[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about the essence of Linga Abhishekam

It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by ten symbols, each receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value, a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit.” Pierre Simon de Laplace ( 1749-1827) French mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about the essence of Linga Abhishekam

It is India that gave us the ingenious method of expressing all numbers by ten symbols, each receiving a value of position as well as an absolute value, a profound and important idea which appears so simple to us now that we ignore its true merit.” Pierre Simon de Laplace ( 1749-1827) French mathematician, philosopher, and astronomer Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that the overwhelming majority of Bala Samskar Kendras are being taught about the importance of samskaras, the greatness of our scriptures, the bravery of national heroes, the sacrifices of the freedom fighters and the inner meaning of various dimensions of our culture and traditions. The essence of Lingabhishekam Shiva Abhishekam is usually performed to a Lingam representing his manifestation as a creator of good (by destroying evil). In many temples, one finds a vessel hung over the Lingam, that continuously drips water or other offerings onto the Lingam in deference to Shiva's desire for Abhisheka. Also Abhishekam is performed by using variety of items such as water, milk, curds, honey, turmeric water, kumkum water, Panchamruta, Panchagavya, and other items.  Sky is Linga. Earth is its base. It is the abode of all the gods. This is where everything falls into place. That is why it is called Linga. 'Lim' means that which is invisible to our eyes and 'Gam' means a symbol. That is why it is gendered. All this creation is Shiva Maya. All this was created by Him. Just as we take a bath to remove the dust, dirt and grime from our body, we should also abishek Shiva to cleanse our inner filth. Rajas means rajoguna and dust. We should anoint Lord Shiva to reform our Rajoguna and become humane. Shiv Abhisheka should be done to realize that we can experience the fruits if God grants them all by leaving the pride that we have acquired them with our intellect. The implication of Abhishek is to express gratitude to the Lord that we are worshiping you with the wealth that you have in mind. Asking for humility is an anointing. It is the natural pride of man to think that he is the most special person in creation and that there is no one else like him. But the mantra part of Rudradhyam heard at the time of abhisheka is an eye opener for us. All creatures, plants, etc. in the creation are the embodiment of Lord Shiva, and we should perform Shiva Abhisheka as we wish to bring good fortune to all creatures. The meanings of the mantras that come out during abhishekam touch our inner being and awaken us. Then Paramashiva, the embodiment of Jnana Jyoti, appears in us. Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra is most pleasing to Lord Shiva The most popular mantra is Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra from the Sukla Yajurveda Samhita III. ||Om Trayambakam Yajaamahe Suganghim Pushtivardhanam Urvaarukmiva Bandhanaan Mrityor Mokshiya Mamritaat || The meaning of the Mantra is as follows I worship thee, O sweet Lord of transcendental vision (the three -eyed one or Lord Siva). O giver of health and prosperity to all, may I be free from the bonds of death, just as a melon (or cucumber) is severed effortlessly from its bondage or attachment to the creeper.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Rajiv Dixit, his patriotism, his opposition to Multi-nationals and his mysterious death.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is striving hard to teach children the greatness of Sanatana Dharma, samskaras, morals and national heroes who tried to protect Bharath from vested interests in India and abroad. Our students learned about Rajiv Dixit. Rajiv Dixit was born on 30th November 1967 in a village called Nah in Uttar Pradesh. Father Radheshyam Dixit, mother Midhilesh Kumari. Rajiv Dixit completed up to eleventh standard under their tutelage. For higher education in 1994, B. Tekkar studied at IIT Institute, Allahabad (Prayaga). Later he did M. Tech in Satellite Communication at Kanpur IIT. Later he did PhD in Telecommunication in France. Later the former President of India A.P.J. Abdul Kalam worked as a scientist in CSIR. Apart from that, although Rajiv Dixit is living a very comfortable life as a scientist in USA, UK, he is trying to inform the Indian people about the exploits of multinational companies, about black money, and about the greatness of Ayurvedic medicine in India. As an Indian, he lived as a servant of Mother India. In 1998, he came to know about the black money in the Swiss bank and from 2002 he informed the people about it through his lectures. They requested the Supreme Court to recognize the black money of Indians as national wealth. They also said that Pepsi and Coco Cola contain pesticides and they can be used as toy toilet cleaners. In 1998, Azadi Bachao led the Andolan movement against them. Central Laboratory Scientist Dr. Sunita Narayan also confirmed that Pepsi and Coco Cola contain pesticides. Even after the independence of India, our rupee was equal to 1 dollar. Rajiv Dixit also informed that 1 rupee was equal to British pound and franc and dasma were also equal to our rupee. Why small children? In America, Colgate's box says, Do not make available to children under 14 years of age. But Rajiv Dixit questioned why they are using small children for their propaganda. "Rajiv Dixit is a doctorate and a scientist, but he never used them before his name. Just as Swami Vivekananda gave new energy to India, through his speeches he instilled patriotism in the new generation of Indians, gave new energy and inspiration, and removed the self-deprecation created in Indians by the slave education system. Rajiv Dixit did a lot of work to spread sentimentality. Mahamahudu Rajiv Dixit, who propagated Ayurvedic secrets written by sages like Vagbhata and others in the name of indigenous treatment, and gave easy and affordable solutions to many diseases that could not be cured even after pouring lakhs into allopathy. Not only to cure diseases, but also how to live comfortably without getting diseases. Rajiv Dixit risked his own life and led the Swadeshi movement, seeing the challenges facing the country, even though he had a higher education. Many things that were hidden from the knowledge of Indians were revealed. If we ever feel self-deprecating, if Indians feel inferior to other Indians, if they listen to Rajiv Dixit's speeches, they will never feel self-deprecating again. Many Indians have been inspired by Rajiv Dixit, the true patriot of modern India. Also, on 09-01-2009 Rajiv Dixit led the Bharat Swabhivan movement. On 30-11-2010 he died suddenly in Bilai village of Chhattisgarh as part of Bharat Swabhiman Prachar Yatra. However, shortly after his death, his body turned black and blue, so it is clear that Adi Bahasa may have been poisoned. It is strange that they were born on 30 November, but also died on 30 November 2010. Their death was attributed to a heart attack, but anyone who saw their bodies would agree that they were poisoned. Their death left a great loss to Bharata Mata.. The reason for their death could have been bribed politicians and even multinational companies. Because if such a great person died suddenly, at least their body was not post-mortared. Moreover, no media has publicized this matter. No media, no one can tell the world about a great man like Rajiv Dixit. Every responsible Indian will spread the word about this great man...

GHHF More than 200-Year-old Tradition of organizing 5-Day Jatara continues attracting thousands in Kandi Village.

“A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational and economic legacies - all of the things that quite literally make us who we are.” Steve Berry Traditions are our security for our future and future generations. Age-old traditions established over so many years have so much history and life experiences. Traditions did not develop in vacuum. Traditions are the product of years of accumulated knowledge passed on to the next generation. We must learn about richness of our culture, appreciate it, acknowledge it and practice it in order to preserve our common eternal heritage. Our future is shaped by the preservation of our culture and traditions. A country is defined by its culture.  We are very fortunate to participate in this unique tradition of organizing Jatara in Kandi Village near Sanga Reddy in Telangana.  The 5-day Jatara is being organized for more than 200 years. In fact, it is being organized by the Deshmukh family who also built Sri Pandu Ranga Temple in the village. They have been managing the Temple over all these years. All the plans to take over the Temple by the government were averted.     On the first day the procession started from Panduranga Temple with dances and singing and reached specially decorated Mantapam. It is gratifying to see the tradition for so many years.     On the second day, they performed Panduranga – Rukmini Kalyanam in Sri Panduranga Temple that attracted more than thousand people. In the evening, Hanuman Sewa was done by taking a precession from the Temple to the Mantapam with dances and singing Bhajans.      On the third day, Garuda Sewa was done by organizing a big procession followed by singing and dancing by Sishumandir students. Also, many ladies participated in the festival. On this day, Laddu Prasadam was offered to Sri Panduranga and then proceeded to the Mantapam where few people climbed on to the roof top and started throwing the packed Laddus to the people gathered as per tradition.      My wife who is from the Deshmukh family and I took this opportunity to attend the Jatara festival. Annadanam is a regular feature. It is heartwarming to personal witness this Jatana where Deshmukh family still continuing this tradition with passion and gusto. They have committed to ensure that all the villagers are invited to attend the function making all the children to participate in various programs. Their commitment to keep our tradition intact and continue to unite the villagers is laudable. {{album_970}}

[GHHF] Spoke at World Hindu Congress meetings held in Bangkok.

https://youtu.be/lMJi7-tm6fA It is time to pause everything and concentrate on the decline of Hindu population. Why are we still giving the same speeches for centuries, discussing potential danger, and why keep on writing about the glorious past  etc. without looking at the ground reality. We still refuse to see the bleak picture of Bharat. There are thousands of minority structures all around the country - churches and mosques. We still refuse to take action. There is no dearth of speeches, there is dearth of action. Sooner we wake up from this slumber, better we will be able to protect Bharath.  https://youtu.be/lMJi7-tm6fA DONATIONS 1) Sponsor one Bala Samskar Kendra for $1000.00 per year 2) Sponsor one Pracharak: it would cost approximately $3000.00 per year. 3) Sponsor a Priest: $1500 per year Payment Methods: PayPal Method: Savetemples.org By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, It is tax-deductible.

[GHHF] Bhajan Mandals are being formed in Villagers and teaching them to sing. Listen to their singing when we visited Dasarapalli Village Temple.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been promoting Bhajan Mandals in the villages. Sri Sreemulu is great singer who is teaching Bhajans in different villages.  https://youtu.be/J5x2oU2zPis He already taught 40 Bhajans to the villagers in Dasarapally and Andepalli villages. Now the villagers are singing on a regular basis. Now he is teaching to the villagers in three places: Kurakala Thota, Ontimiddi and Narayana Puram.  Bhajans are songs sung to show our gratitude and love for God. Singing or listening to devotional songs removes all negativity in one’s mind and fills one’s heart with joy, peace and contentment. It elevates one’s mood and creates inner equilibrium. There is a lot of difference in the feeling when you sing for yourself and when you sing for God. When a devotional song is played or sung, it cleanses the atmosphere and fills the place with positive energy. Bhajan word comes from Bhaj which means repetition of something. Now repetition of something makes our mind focused on that thing and when mind get focused we become peaceful and blissful. Now adding name of God to the repetitive word gives us bhava about that god. We start gives attributes to the god about his/her form, beauty, strength, forgiveness. It adds all these attributes to our psychology. It appears that the Narada once asked Lord Vishnu about His whereabouts, as to where does the lord lives. The answer from Lord Vishna was : “Naham Basami Baikunthe, yogina hriday nacha, Mad bhakta yatr gavanti, tatra tishthaami, Narada.” It means that Hey Narada, I don’t reside at Baikuntha nor I live in the hearts of Yogis but I reside at place where my Bhakta(devotees) are singing. So, it is apparent that bhajans when sung creates an atmosphere which is energized, and the mental state of all participants become receptive where the divine descend become very much possible. https://youtu.be/J5x2oU2zPis DONATIONS 1) Sponsor one Bala Samskar Kendra for $1000.00 per year 2) Sponsor one Pracharak: it would cost approximately $3000.00 per year. 3) Sponsor a Priest: $1500 per year Payment Methods: PayPal Method: Savetemples.org By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, It is tax-deductible.

GHHF Annadanam to Needy Priests in VILLAGES is being planned. Your Support is appreciated. For the last two months many Archakas did not have enough resources to feed their families. Many organizations and individuals have concentrated in honoring the priests and their families. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation honored about 140 Priest families in Vijayawada, Bengaluru and Kochin. Since the Lockdown due to the fear of spreading Coronavirus, all the Hindu Temples are closed. Now, many Pujaris / Hindu Temple priests are having a hard time meeting their basic needs. Many of them do not have any salaries either from the government of the private Temples. Most of them do not have enough savings to pay their rent and electricity. Furthermore, many private temples do not have enough income to pay their salaries. Recently, newspapers wrote about some priests begging on the streets as they could not provide meals for the family. That news pained so many people and some organizations are helping them financially. They are facing a grim and grave predicament. Now Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in association with Samarasata Foundation decided to provide two weeks of dry groceries for each family living in villages We will be providing dry items enough for two weeks to the family. This distribution will take place mainly in Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh. DONATIONS: We would appreciate your donation to help the needy Priests with Cash Support 5 Priest families for $100.

[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}}
