[GHHF] Ghar Waapasi in Telangana – 13 Christians retuned to Hindu Dharma from Ranga Reddy District

“Of all the systems of religion that were ever invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics.” Thomas Paine (1737-1809)

[GHHF] Ghar Waapasi in Telangana – 13 Christians retuned to Hindu Dharma from Ranga Reddy District

“Of all the systems of religion that were ever invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics.” Thomas Paine (1737-1809) Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) in association with Nitya Satyam has been organizing Ghar Waapasi in the Telangana area. Lakshmi Nivas and his volunteers went to many villages and talked about the richness of our culture knowing that they became Christians not because of the message of the Bible but because of their financial circumstances, health-related issues, deceptive interpretation of Hindu scriptures and demeaning the multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses. Lakshmi Nivas and his associates welcomed 13 Christians from Ranga Reddy District back to Hindu Dharma. They come from A V S Colony of Rajendranagar Mandal.  They used to go to MB Church and Christal Church.   They talked about the tactics they used in converting people and how they induce people to convert to Christianity. Many converts expressed their own experience of being pressured into accepting Christianity and how they created fear in them. Nivas mentioned what the Bible says: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:34–39). Jesus says one cannot love his parents more than HIM As you can see that Jesus came here with a sword only to create enemies, and hatred toward others. He says we have to leave our parents, not to associate our family members and not even attend funerals. Even your father you cannot do last rights for your own father.  Laxmi Nivas talked about the difference between Christianity and Hinduism and the kind of respect we have toward our parents. Mother has been extolled as a god form in several places in the puranas and also God has been approached as a son.  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).     In contrast, we read in the Bible that Jesus saying if anybody who loves his parents cannot to true believers in Jesus. They have to give up their parents and their love toward parents in order to have faith in Jesus. He even says that if a man does not hate his parents, wife, and children, he cannot be Jesus’ disciple. The Christian missionaries come prepared to even engage in violence and threaten the Hindus to accept Christianity. Christianity practiced in India is an insult to humanity. It is the most violent, ridiculous, and bloody religion ever infected the earth. Even the Christians across the globe admit the missionary wickedness and vicious methods they use to convert the natives into Christianity. They cut your throat and or force the people to accept their customs and opinions. They make the converts insult Hindu Gods by stepping on them or spitting on them. A 52-page book comparing the verses in Bible and Bhagavad Gita is also distributed. Christians have less tolerance toward other religions – especially Hinduism. For example, the Ten Commandments states that "You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence. You shall not make yourself a carved image nor any likeness of that which is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the water beneath the earth. You shall not prostrate yourself to them nor worship them, for I am the Lord, your God." Bible God is jealous, selfish, hateful, envious, intolerant, and abusive GOD. He is anything but tolerant, patient, as the Police office claimed. Christians tend to demonize Hinduism and do not respect any other religions. Intolerant Christians say that all other religions are incomplete, and their followers go to hell and burn eternally for not accepting Jesus. Non-Christians will either go to hell or get condemned.  They will not be saved.  DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] Letter sent to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to take Suo moto action against hate Speech made by Udayanidhi Stalin by Assam Hindu Advocates Forum; Finally SC

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation demanded Udayanidhi Stalin be arrested immediately by the TN State government for his inflammatory statements deliberately and intentionally insulting the adherents of Hindu faith. His public statement hurts the sentiments of Hindus, disturbing the public tranquility, causing fear and feeling of insecurity among followers of Sanatana Dharma. GHHF strongly condemn the derogatory & bigoted statement to "Eradicate Santana Dharma" issued by Udhanyanidhi Stalin, son of Chief Minister M K Stalin in Tamil Nadu, India. GHHF is astonished at the insensibility Udhanyanidhi Stalin who irresponsibly charged that "Sanatana Dharma is like mosquitoes, dengue and malaria that has to be eradicated." We, concerned citizens, demand the immediate arrest of Udhanyanidhi Stalin for his bigoted behavior and divisive actions. It is imperative that we hold public figures accountable for their words and actions, especially when they promote hatred and discrimination. Sri Samrat Dutt and other lawyers formed “Hindu Advocates Forum” more than a year ago and submitted letters challenging the issues that hurt the sentiments of Hindus.  Following is the letter written by them. Supreme Court decision on September 27, 2023 The Supreme Court on Wednesday tagged a petition seeking the registration of a first information report (FIR) against Tamil Nadu Minister and DMK lead Udhayanidhi Stalin over his controversial remarks about 'Sanatana Dharma', with another plea in which the court issued notice last week.   Letter to Supreme Court to take Suo moto action against Udayanidhi Stalin – by Hindu Advocates Forum, Assam. Date: 14.09.2023 To: The Hon’ble Mr. Justice D.Y. Chandrachud The Hon’ble Chief Justice of Bharat (India) Supreme Court of Bharat (India) Sub: Request to take Suo moto cognizance of hate speech made by Udayanidhi Stalin Hon’ble Chief Justice of Bharat (India) Sir, Namaskar It is our painful duty to inform you that a recent development has caused much anguish in the hearts and minds of common citizens of this country, specially those who believe in Sanatan Dharma. Recently Udayanidhi Stalin the Minister of Sports and Youth Affairs in the Tamilnadu Govt. speaking at a conference in Chennai railed against Sanatan Dharma, equating it with dengu, malaria, fever, and corona. He added that Sanatan Dharma should not be merely opposed but eradicated. In this respect we would lie to state that In the case of Writ Petition No. (Civil) 940/2022 in Shaheen Abdulla vs Union of India and others the Supreme Court specifically and categorically stated that State Police must take action Suo motu against hate speech. The Order was issued by a bench of Justice KM Joseph and BV Navaratnam. The Court issued a warning that late filing of cases would be considered contempt of Court. The Bench further said “We only care about the Constitution and laws of the Country. For the “larger public good” and to ensure the “rule of law” is established. It is very unfortunate that Government of Tamilnadus action run in the face of Supreme Court judgment in the case of in Shaheen Abdulla vs Union of India and Aswini Kumar Upadhyay vs Union of India (Writ Pet No 943/2023) where in SC has directed that State Government should take Suo moto action against any hate speech crime without waiting for any complaint. Therefore, since the State Government has refused to take action and acted in contempt of the Courts orders and gravely undermined or rather make a mockery of the rule of law, we urge the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India to take Suo moto notice contempt, ensuring accountability for the inaction of the State Government of Tamilnadu. We sincerely hope for the thoughtful consideration of our plea and implore immediate measures to ensure justice and rule of Law to prevail. Dhanybad Hindu Advocates Forum Assam

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Camel-lion story with a moral “Never trust people who surround people in power.”

"Hinduism is not bound by any rigid textbook or commandments, orders, declarations and revelations; but it is a storehouse of scientific facts and has in it healthy impulses of a growing tradition. The Hindu religion or Sanatana Dharma is the way of life of perfect living and of gaining mastery over oneself. This religion reveals the secret process which brings forth an effective personality out of a shattered man of despair and disappointment." Swami Chinmayananda Global Hindu Heritage Foundation initiated Bala Samskar Kendras to instill morals, ethics, and principles in the lives the students at an incredibly young age. They will shape their personalities and character. They will allow them to distinguish between right and wrong as well as good and bad. Moral values will build good character at individual level and respect for law and order at the societal level. They learned about Camel-lion story with a moral - never trust people who surround people in power.” The camel-lion story A lion lives in a forest. It was the king of all the animals in that forest. "Tiger, fox, crow" suggest it. One day he saw a camel like me who knew nothing but goodness. The tiger, the jackal and the crow went to it together and asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to this forest?" They asked. Then the camel said to them, "Sir! I have come today from the neighboring village because my master's box could not suffer. I have no direction. Save me and make me virtuous." Also, fear not! We will add you to our team. Our king is very good. Tell him and we will give you a good job. Come with us! They took three camels and went to the lion. "Lord! He has come to our forest anew to serve them like us. He is strong and intelligent. He has a saintly nature and is not hasty." The lion also appointed the camel as one of his ministers. Gradually the goodness of the camel came to the liking of the lion. It considered the camel as a close friend and made it the prime minister of its kingdom. The tiger, the fox and the crow were jealous that the camel that came the other day had become the prime minister and started hating it. Time has harmed it. Once a lion fell ill and could not move. Then tiger, fox and crow animals were hunted and fed to the lion. They sadly told the lion that no matter how much they hunted, they could not find a single animal. With the trick they had devised, the crow said, "For these bodies that are not useful to lords like themselves? I cannot see your hunger pangs. Eat me and satisfy your hunger." Then the lion thought, "If I kill small creatures like you, will my hunger be satisfied? Your meat is not enough for me even under one tooth" while the fox said, "Lord! Kill me and eat me and quench your hunger." The lion said, "I will kill and eat occult animals like you no matter how much! Dogs and foxes are the worst of animals. Is the fox eating dead corpses and eating them? It is better to die of hunger than to kill and eat you." Then the tiger said, "Maharaja! Eat me. I have served you for so many years and I cannot watch you starve to death." Then the lion said to the tiger, "Ori! You are a great sinner who eats sacred animals like cows, goats and rabbits. It is a great sin to touch you. I will not eat you." Then the camel went to the king and said, "Sinhara! My body is very big. If you eat me, your hunger will be satisfied. So, eat me without hesitation." Leo is prone to betrayal. Seeing that, the crow said, "Maharaja! You did not agree to eat three of us. Well, forgive his prayer and satisfy your hunger. The snake cannot suffer from hunger and eats its own children to satisfy its hunger. Is it not the main duty of every living being to protect the body! If useful people like you survive, ten people will benefit. Like us. It is the same whether the useless live or die!" She spoke. The fox and the tiger also supported those words. The hungry lion obeyed those words. "Do as thou wilt." The lion immediately fell on the camel and killed it. The lion ate the camel's flesh and satiated the hunger pangs. The tiger, the fox and the crow were very happy that their dice had been thrown. So no matter how good the new servants are, they will try to do some harm to all their fellows. They will tell the king some tricks. Even a king who believes the words of such wretched people becomes a very wretched person. Carpenter Munupoka said to the lion, "You should not make friends with bad people. I am afraid because you have come with bad Buddhas." He started narrating the story saying listen to that story.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras in Assam – Students learned the benefits of Yoga and practiced Yoga to improve their strength, manage their anxiety and reduce stress.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to require our children to learn Yoga and meditation to ensure to reap the benefits. Yoga seems to improve both physical and mental health among children aged 6 through 12. Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance aerobic capacity in children.  Yoga is not just for adults! In fact, it can give children very important life skills that can help them succeed in the world. Sri Samrat Dutt, the Board of the Director of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, and also the coordinator of activities in Assam organizes Yoga and Meditation to Bala Samskar students every week. Many parents and other interested people also join the Yoga class.   In a pilot study, Butzer et al. (2015) found that ten weeks of yoga intervention on children aged between 7-9 years old showed statistically significant cortisol concentration changes, social interaction, attention span, stress coping, confidence, time on task, academic performance, and improved mood. Kim et al. (2016) study found that the practice of a 12-week school-based yoga project showed positive body image in children through controlled breathing, meditation, and calming the mind. However, some educators in their study raised concerns about the lack of confidence in teaching yoga to students. They do not know how to instruct or lead yoga sessions or do not have the time because of tight curriculum schedules,  Arizona Early Childhood Network conducted research and listed the following benefits. Here is a more detailed explanation of how teaching yoga to kids and using yoga in the classroom can have a positive impact on children’s well-being: 1.    Yoga helps children manage their anxiety. The breathing exercises and relaxation techniques learned from practicing yoga can help children with stress management. Teaching children how to reduce stress in a healthy way is an important life skill that will help them as children and as adults. 2.    Yoga improves children’s emotional regulation. Another benefit of yoga for children is that it helps children learn to be in the present moment while relaxing and gaining a peaceful state of mind, which ultimately improves their emotional regulation. 3.    Yoga boosts children’s self-esteem. Yoga for kids can do wonders for their self-esteem. Perfecting a pose or improving their balance and flexibility can give young children a sense of personal empowerment. 4.    Yoga increases children’s body awareness and mindfulness. Going through a variety of yoga poses helps children learn about their bodies and the movements they’re capable of doing. 5.    Yoga enhances children’s concentration and memory. One of the top benefits of kids’ yoga is that the different types of moves require children to focus and work on their memorization skills—both of which can translate over into their academic performance. 6.    Yoga develops children’s strength and flexibility. Yoga helps strengthen children’s growing bodies and helps them improve their flexibility, which can reduce their chance of injury. 7.    Yoga teaches discipline and reduces impulsivity. Yoga can reduce challenging behaviors in the classroom by providing a physical outlet for children to express themselves. It also teaches children about discipline as they work on clearing their minds and perfecting their poses. (Source: AZearlychildhood network) Yoga Journal says that Our children live in a hurry-up world of busy parents, school pressures, incessant lessons, video games, malls, and competitive sports. We usually don’t think of these influences as stressful for our kids, but often they are. The bustling pace of our children’s lives can have a profound effect on their innate joy—and usually not for the better. The greatest challenge with children is to hold their attention long enough to teach them the benefits of yoga: stillness, balance, flexibility, focus, peace, grace, connection, health, and well-being.  DONATIONS PayPal Method: To donate visit our website: savetemples.org.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Anne Besant who came from Britain, worked for Independence and written extensively about Hinduism.

“Make no mistake; without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India’s roots are struck, and torn of that she will inevitably wither, as a tree torn out from its place …. And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism, who shall save it? If India’s own children do not cling to her faith, who shall guard it? India alone can save India, and India and Hinduism are one.” Anne Besant Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform you that the overwhelming majority of Bala Samskar Kendras remembered the great social reformer and a scholar who left Britain and joined the Independence movement, joined the Congress Pary, spoke at the National Congress meetings and written extensively about the richness and greatness of Sanatana Dharma.  It is Anne Besant (1847-1933), who made herself able to recognize the divinity in everyone. She was attracted to Hindu traditions and philosophy in India and considered India as her motherland even though she was a foreign country. Born in London to an Irish mother and a British father, a woman who embodies the courage of intelligence can change the world's thoughts. Father died at the age of Raised by mother. As a child, she was very enthusiastic and enjoyed studying, playing cricket, music, horse riding and learning sewing while enjoying nature. Superstition and piety were very much and read the Bible every day with daily prayers. At the age of 20, the heresy reached such a level that he decided to give his life to the Church. In 1847, she got married to Reverend Frank Centu and had a son and a daughter. For some time, the daughter suffered from illness and her mother's death led to her losing faith in God and becoming an atheist. Encouraged by an atheist named Charles Brada, she wrote many works under the pen name Ajax and sent them to journals. The Theosophical Society (Divya Gnana Samaj), founded in 1875, attracted Anne Besant. Anne Besant’s life turned around after reading The Secret Doctrine by Blavatsky. Became a member of the Theosophical Society in 1889. In 1907, she became the president of the Divya Jnana Samaj. Attracted to the philosophy of Vedanta in the East, he studied India and settled in Varanasi from 1895. It is believed that India has no future if spirituality is abandoned. Anne Besant yearned to revive piety and patriotism among the Indian people, who were forgetting their religion and traditions in the craze of Western culture. It promoted itself using indigenous products. In 1894, he addressed the Indian National Congress for the first time. The Home Rule Movement started in 1916. Leaders who did not cooperate with her at first eventually cooperated with Anne Besant. In 1917, she presided over the Calcutta Congress Sessions and held the first public mass meetings and mobilized more women to participate in politics. She has lofty ideas about the country's future. She wanted the country to gain independence so that all Indians could enjoy freedom. She liked Indian people so much. She wrote that she wrote: “I love the Indian people as I love none other, and… my heart and my mind… have long been laid on the altar of the Motherland.” While in India, she established the All-India Home Rule League in Chennai in 1916, while the world was in the midst of World War 1. In July 1898, along with Dr. Arthur Richards, Besant founded the Central Hindu School. It’s located in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi. The school went by the motto “Knowledge is vitality.” She dreamed of creating of a school that gave a “sound secular education, combined with moral and religious instruction, based on the fundamental tenets of Hinduism.” The school is directly affiliated with Banaras Hindu University. At the time of the school’s founding, there were over 2,000 students. Today in India there are schools in the cities of Kolkata, Meerut, Delhi, and Indore, that bear Besant’s name.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Majority of the Classes conducted Ganesh Chaturthi Puja and listened to the different steps in doing puja and meaning of many mantras chanted.

“It is inexplicable how such a rich heritage of Hindu Dharma did not find a place in our education curriculum. A civilization which was not only Spiritual, but which gave to the world from the Zero--the decimal system to the sciences like chemistry, anatomy, medicine, surgical know-how. Here was a civilization with spirituality at the core but with sciences of all branches developing in harmony. This rational spirituality of Sanatana Dharma gave greater vision of life and an impetus towards a well-balanced growth of the family, society, nation, and the world. The majority of the Indians are unaware of this rich mine of theirs.” Dr. Hilda Raja Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to report that overwhelming majority of Bala Samskar Kendras in India have celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi in many ways.

GHHF Bala Samskar Kendras – Students were taught about the importance of celebrating Ganesh Chaturdasi

That is India’s challenge to the West – a question of values, of attitude to existence. India as Vishnu, preserving the sacred flame; as Shiva dancing the dance of creation over the Darkness he has destroyed; even as Kali, garlanded with skulls, smeared with blood, destroying destruction. India will win. Matter is always molded by spirit.  But what is this spiritual power of India?  As a sensitive Russian woman asked me: “Why does God seem so much nearer in India?” (Michael Pym (1889 - ) author of The Power of India) Ganesh Chaturthi I fully offer my 10 sense organs, 10 karma Indriyas and mind in the form of twenty-one kinds of Patri (leaves) to that Lord of Vighnadhipati, Ganadhipati, Pratham Pujya, who is the infinite Brahmandamie will spread like Palavelli (Wooden grid) Why did Lord Shiva sever Ganapati's head? Is he so angry? Don't you feel sorry for the little boy? There was a demon named Mushikasura. That demon made penance for Brahma and asked for a boon of immortality. Then Lord Brahma smiled and asked Nayana that is not possible, ask for some other boon. Then the demon wanted me to die at the hands of a person who was born as an ion, dual form and dual birth. (Ionija means not to be born from mother's womb, Dvirupa means to have two forms, Dwijandu means to leave and come back to life in the same body. Then Lord Brahma gives that boon and goes away... Shouldn't creation be done in a form that is ionized, dual form and dual-born? Only then will the demon be destroyed? In another place there was a man named Gajasura. Gajasura's wish is that Parameshwara should come and stay in his stomach, and according to that wish, Lord Shiva enters Gajasura's womb. Isn't Shiva the Layakaraka! And if there is no Shiva, the creation will stop, Vishnu Murthy, Nandi and all the other deities go together in the guise of playing the drumsticks and please Gajasura. He confesses that he has given the boon and begs the Lord to come out, then the Lord breaks his stomach and comes out. And Lord Shiva goes to Kailasa with joy... While Lord Parameshwara was in Gajasura's womb, Goddess Parvati went to bathe. While taking a bath, she applied paste and then removed the paste from which she makes a doll. Amma, being a form of Shakti, gives life to that doll...I will bathe him and come back. Then she asked Ganesh to guard the front gate and asked him not to allow any body into the house. (It is known that the head of an elephant is then affixed like this, because the demon Mushikasura must be slain by the one who is an ionizer, a dualist, and a diversionist). Meanwhile, Lord Shiva comes to Kailasa... The child prevents Lord Shiva from entering... In this order, Lord Shiva kills the child's head... So, the child falls to the ground. Then on the command of Lord Shiva, Gajasura's head is brought and placed on the head of the child. (Shiva also knows that the child is his son. But we the demon Mushikasura is creating many terrors in the world by troubling the people, hence he should be killed ... so, Shiva Parvati have created his son for the welfare of the world) Thus, Gananadhatu was created, thus Mooshikasura was slain. How great is that Gananatha? One day all the deities came to Parvati Parameshwara and begged him to show some solution to the fact that there are many obstacles. They requested Lord Shiva to appoint someone to worship to help solve the problems of the people like when we start any work. On being told that they are worthy of this whoever goes to all around the world and take bath in all holy rovers, and return, he will be appointed as god of removing the obstacles.  Kartikeya immediately takes his vehicle, the peacock, and goes to visit the rivers of all three planets. But Vinayaka performs Pradakshana with devotion around the Parameswaras. Then Karthikeya went to any river to take a bath, and Ganesha was seen coming from that river to bathe, and he was surprised to see Ganesha there before all the hills returned to Kailasa. He realizes that worshiping the feet of his parents and serving them is better than bathing in holy river waters and tells him to give supremacy to that Ganapati. Thus, on Bhadrapada Shuddha Chaturthi Ganapathy became Vigneshwara. But in this way, whoever worships Lord Ganesha before starting an auspicious work, the work will be completed without any hindrance. Thus, on the day of Vinayaka Chavithi, the festival is celebrated by worshiping Lord Ganesha on a large scale, offering various kinds of pastries and reciting the story of Lord Ganesha.

[GHHF] Nearly 3000 Environmentally friendly Ganesh Vigrahas were distributed along with Mum plants and distributed immunity booster kashayam free of cost to everyone.

"I think when you see so many Hindu temples of the tenth century or earlier time disfigured, defaced, you know that they were not just defaced for fun: that something terrible happened. I feel that the civilization of that closed world was mortally wounded by those invasions. And I would like people, as it were, to be more reverential towards the past, to try to understand it; to preserve it; instead of living in its ruins. The Old World is destroyed. That has to be understood. The ancient Hindu India was destroyed."  V S Naipaul Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) and JD Foundation organized this program in distributing environment friendly Ganesh idols, along with a Mum plant and a herbal drink for immunity. People all around flocked in as every year and cherished. All we ask is to stick to dharma and protect nature. About 25 members from JD Foundation and GHHF volunteered in the order, packing, plantation, and distribution process and thoroughly enjoyed this dharmic activity. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation/www.savetemples.org and JD Foundation have prepared 3000 Ganesh Murthies. We distributed these environmentally friendly Ganesh idols freely to the public.

Lord Ganesh Lord Ganesha, popularly known and easily recognized as the Elephant-God, is one of the most important deities of the Hindu Patheon. Before every undertaking, be it laying of the foundation of a house, or opening of a store or beginning any other work, Lord Ganesh is first worshipped so at to invoke his blessings.  Ganesha has many names. The main ones are Ganapati (lord of the ganas, or attendants), Vighneshwara (controller of all obstacles), Vinayaka (the prominent leader), Gajaanana (elephant-faced), Lambodara (pendant-bellied), and Ekadanta (having one tusk).  Ganesha is described as an elephant God who represents the power of the Supreme Being that removes obstacles and ensures success in human endeavors. Hindu scriptures recommend the worshipping of Ganesha before the beginning of any religious, spiritual, or worldly activity.  Many students go to the Temple before they commence their studies. Business people go and seek his blessings to remove all impediments. Spiritual people worship seeking the wisdom needed to grow spiritually.  Pranamya shirasaa devam gaurii putram vinaayakam Bhaktaa vaasam smarenha nityam aayuh kaama artha siddhaye  This Stotra is from Narada Purana and is recited to remove all troubles and get liberation. The meaning of this Stotra (religious hymn) is that one should bow one's head and offer obeisance before the son of Gauri, Vinayaka (or Lord Ganesha), whose abode is the devotees, and remember Him always for the purpose of obtaining longevity, desired energy, and prosperity.

[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}}
