[GHHF] Islam is incompatible with Democracy and Hindu ideals. Is Bharat ready to protect Hindus and humanity from being tortured and wiped out?

On September 30th, a Muslim copilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the Flydubai plane and kill all 174 passengers and 6 crew. According to Israeli officials, the first officer, an Omani national, stabbed captain Smit Machchhar (from Mumbai, India) and tried to sabotage the aircraft’s systems. Witnesses said the plane entered a tailspin and began to dive. Passengers and crew entered the cockpit, restrained the attacker, and enabled a second pair of Flydubai pilots on board to land the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. It is not an isolated incident. These incidents will be flooding across the globe, bleeding humanity. Hindus have not learned from history about the untold cruelty, relentless terrorism, repeated attacks on Hindu Temples, continuous raping of Hindu women, constant insults to Hindu Gods, incessant noise pollution through Azaan, and the transmission of Hindu hatred through madrasas, inflicted on Hindus for more than seven hundred years. Hindus are more responsible for allowing them to wage war against Hindus. The stupidity of Hindus is endless. They still support politicians who are openly supporting Pakistan and Muslim terrorists for their selfish interests.  Muslims are taking advantage of these politicians’ weakness and dismantling the richness of Hindu civilization.  Pahalgam terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg. They have plans to make Bharat an Islamic country. Almost every day, these Muslim leaders openly talk about conquering India. The People's Federation of India has a plan to take over India by 2047 by equipping every house with guns, rifles, rocks, wooden sticks, and materials to make bombs. Muslim leaders repeatedly and openly announce that they will take over Bharat by 2047. Will Durant describes the Islamic rule in India as a tumultuous period marked by significant violence and cultural transformation. He characterizes the Muslim conquests, particularly from the 10th to the 13th centuries, as some of the bloodiest events in history, leading to profound changes in Indian society and governance. Will Durant, the famous historian, summed it up like this: "The Islamic conquest of India is probably the bloodiest story in history. It is a discouraging tale, for its evident moral is that civilization is a precious good, whose delicate complex of order and freedom, culture and peace, can at any moment be overthrown by barbarians invading from without or multiplying within." Maulana Syed Ahmed Bukhari, Shahi Imam, Jama Masjid, Delhi, says, “Muslims have become the majority in Uttar Pradesh, Bengal, Kerala, Hyderabad, and Assam in India. According to Islam, the presence of non-Muslims in Muslim-dominated areas is forbidden. Therefore, Hindus should vacate these areas; otherwise, we will do the same to them as we did to Hindus in Kashmir.” Abdulla Zuber “ Jihad will continue until all the Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Atheists are killed. Your secularism and tolerance cannot change our ideology. Quran does NOT permit survival of Non-Muslims.” It is time for Hindus to wake up and support the efforts of Prime Minister Modi to eliminate terrorists in Pakistan and all around the world, wherever they may be. The Prime Minister should also concentrate on the internal enemies of Bharat and eliminate the terrorists who are planning to destabilize Bharat. Let us look at what the experts in Islam said about their philosophy, their cruelty, terrorism, and plans to dominate India and the world.  Before India’s Independence, Mohammad Jinnah said, “Hindu and Muslim cultures constitute two distinct, and frequently antagonistic, ways of life, and therefore they cannot coexist in one nation.” On 6 December 1945, in a statement to the British Government, Muhammad Ali Jinnah, leader of the Muslim League, called for the creation of an independent Muslim state, Pakistan. He explained that Muslims would never be able to live in peace if they were in the minority alongside a Hindu majority and emphasized that the two societies could not coexist within a single nation. Islamic rule in India as a "colonial experiment" was "extremely violent", and "the Muslims could not rule the country except by systematic terror. Cruelty was the norm - burnings, summary executions, crucifixions or impalements, inventive tortures. Hindu temples were destroyed to make way for mosques. On occasion, there were forced conversions …. If ever there were an uprising, it was instantly and savagely repressed: houses were burned, the countryside was laid waste, men were slaughtered, and women were taken as slaves." (Fernand Braudel: A History of Civilization) “The Democratic system that is predominant in the world is not a suitable system for the peoples of our region.... The system of free elections is not suitable for our country. King Fahd of Saudi Arabia At least King Fahd has had the honesty to admit the incompatibility of Islam and democracy. Meanwhile, Western Islamic apologists and modernizing Muslims continue to look for democratic principles in Islam and Islamic history. Asghar Ali Engineer asked, “Is Islam compatible with secularism?”  He said that  “Both non-Muslims and orthodox Muslims feel that Islam is not compatible with secularism. Fundamentalist Muslims totally reject secularism as anti-Islamic and haram. Maulana Maududi, founder of Jamat-e-Islami-e-Hind, had said, while leaving for Pakistan in 1948, that those who participated in secular politics were raising the flag of revolt against Allah and His Messenger. The Saudi 'Ulama, too, denounce secularism as strictly prohibited in Islamic tradition.” That means Islam is incompatible with democracy.  Even if one goes by religious text, the Qur’an emphasizes what it calls shura’ (consultation) (3:159, 42:38). Even the messenger of Allah is required to consult his people in worldly matters, and Muslims are required to consult each other in their secular affairs. We Hindus must recognize that Islam and Hinduism are incompatible in their ideologies, values, practices, human rights, inclusiveness, women’s rights, tolerance toward each other, marriage customs, and democratic principles.   Hindus must realize the gravity of the precarious situation the majority of Hindus are facing at the hands of Muslim minorities who are using every means to create fear among Hindus and drive them from their villages.  It should be pointed out that in the very near future, the Hindus are going to be cornered, and another carnage of Hindus similar to the carnage during the Independence time will occur, not too far in the future. It is a matter of years, not decades. Muslims stayed back only to recapture India through violent means. Their loyalty is not to India but to global dominance and supremacy over all religions. They are in India not to integrate, not to accommodate, not to adjust, and not to assimilate into the mainstream of India but to dominate, subjugate, subdue, control, and suppress Hindus through Islamic justice, which allows them to dispose of all Hindus at their will, reminiscent of Islamic brutal, barbaric, and ruthless dominance of Hindu India for eight centuries. After visiting India, Tarek Fatah rightly observed, “As a Muslim, I found it fascinating that this is the only place in the world where Muslims exert influence without fear. Muslims are better equipped in India than in Pakistan and Bangladesh.” By avoiding an open discussion about the impending takeover of India by Muslims in less than a decade, Hindu politicians, Hindu organizations, and the government are going to fulfill the long-cherished dreams of Muslims to convert the country into an Islamic State. How long will Bharat allow Muslims to dominate, dictate, and decimate Bharat? It is time to reflect on the mission of Islam and protect Bharata from cruelty, torture, rapes, killings, attacks on Temples, cow slaughter, love jihad, and terrorism. Reflect on all major attacks Muslims have inflicted on Bharat over the last eight centuries and protect Sanatana Dharma and Bharat. It is time to take any and every option into consideration before we are subjected to the cruelty our forefathers experienced.

[GHHF] Lord Hanuman saved 170 passengers and crew. Hindu Pilot Smit credited Hanuman Chalisa chanting for his bravery.

On September 30th, a Muslim copilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the Flydubai plane and kill all 174 passengers and 6 crew. Although Smit Machchhar (from Mumbai, India) was stabbed by a Muslim copilot and was lying on the floor with multiple wounds, his chanting of Hanuman Chalisa gave him the strength to open the cockpit door, enabling passengers to overpower the copilot, stabilize the plane, and save all the passengers. Flydubai plane landed safely, and Smit is in the hospital recovering from the wounds. PM Modi called and told Machchhar that the entire country was praying for him and praised his bravery during the crisis. Machchhar also shared that whenever he finds himself in difficulty, he recites the Hanuman Chalisa. He said he recited the Hanuman Chalisa during that difficult moment as well. “And I am just, in positivity, whenever I get a chance, I say only one thing: I say only Hanuman Chalisa. Even then, I used to say only Hanuman Chalisa. Now I know that he is not just God; he is my savior,” he said. In fact, his two-year-old child also recites Hanuman Chalisa. PM Modi also spoke about Machchhar's mother, Geeta Ben, and said she had raised him with the values and teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Hanuman Temple in Frisco. The Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco changed the city's geography as thousands of Hindus moved there to experience Lord Hanuman's power, grace, blessings, and vibrations. Over the past ten years, the Hanuman Temple in Frisco has significantly contributed to the city's rapid growth, particularly within the Hindu community. This temple has become a central hub for worship and cultural activities, attracting many Indian immigrants to the area. Its contribution in terms of financial, spiritual, religious, philosophical, and peaceful coexistence is immeasurable. Power Of Hanuman Chalisa The chanting of the Hanuman Chalisa by Flydubai Airlines pilot Smit is believed to have saved the passenger's lives. The Hanuman Chalisa—a 40-verse devotional hymn composed by Goswami Tulsidas in the 16th century—holds a profound place in Hindu tradition. Rooted in scriptural lore, it is revered not merely as poetic praise but as a potent Stotra (a hymn invoking protection, courage, and divine grace) that taps into Lord Hanuman's extraordinary spiritual power (siddhi). It gives us inner strength and surrounds us with an invisible shield of divine protection during the most challenging times. Our faith keeps us grounded, fills us with courage, and inspires us to remain positive, fearless, and steadfast in the face of every challenge. Pilot Smit chanting the Hanuman Chalisa gave him strength, surrounded him with divine energy, and equipped him with courage when he needed it most. Tulsidas, who composed the Hanuman Chalisa, says in the Chalisa that whoever chants it with full devotion to Hanuman will have Hanuman's grace. Among Hindus in Northern India, it is widely believed that chanting the Hanuman Chalisa invokes Hanuman's divine intervention in grave problems, including those involving evil spirits, and this belief is based on the Chalisa's own claims. Key Spiritual Powers of the Hanuman Chalisa 1. Dispersion of Fear and Negative Energies Hindu texts describe Hanuman as the ultimate protector against fear, mental turmoil, and unseen negative forces. Verse 24 explicitly states: "Bhoot Pishach Nikat Nahi Aave, Mahavir Jab Naam Sunave" (Ghosts, evil spirits, and negative energies cannot come near when the name of Mahavir Hanuman is invoked.) Reciting the Chalisa acts as spiritual armor (Kavach), helping ground the mind in high-stress or life-threatening crises. 2. Bestower of Eight Siddhis and Nine Nidhis According to the Ramcharitmanas and the Chalisa itself (Verse 31), Mata Sita granted Hanuman the rare boons of the Ashta Siddhi (eight supernatural powers) and Nava Niddhi (nine divine treasures): You are the giver of the eight mystic powers and nine wealths, as blessed by Mother Janaki. Because Hanuman possesses these supreme abilities—such as shrinking to an atom (Anima) or growing immensely (Mahima)—reciting his praise is believed to grant mental clarity, physical resilience, and extraordinary fortitude in adversity. 3. Eradication of Suffering and Obstacles (Sankat Mochan) In Hindu belief, Lord Hanuman is hailed as Sankat Mochan (the liberator from distress). Verse 36 highlights this healing power: All diseases are cured and all pains vanish when one continuously chants the name of the brave Hanuman. Scriptures state that whether facing physical pain, severe mental anxiety, or insurmountable worldly hurdles, chanting the Chalisa invokes Hanuman’s swift intervention to remove obstacles. 4. The Efficacy of Devotional Vibration (Mantra Shakti) In Sanatana Dharma, sound (Shabda) carries tangible energy. The Chalisa is structured in precise Chhandas (poetic meters—specifically Doha and Chaupai). When chanted with devotion (Bhakti) and focus, its rhythmic resonance calms the nervous system, instills immense willpower, and anchors consciousness even amid chaos. 5. Absolute Faith and Divine Protection (Sankalpa) The concluding verse guarantees the spiritual potency of the text: 6. Lord Shiva Himself stands as witness to this truth. Whoever recites this Hanuman Chalisa attains spiritual perfection and victory; The Ultimate Wish Fulfillment is found in Verse 39, which says, "Jo yeh padhe Hanuman Chalisa, hoye siddhi sakhi Gaurisa". Lord Shiva (Gaurisa) himself stands as a witness that whoever reads this prayer will attain success (siddhi) and fulfillment of their innermost wishes. Ultimately, the scripture emphasizes that the Chalisa's true power lies in pure, surrender-filled faith (Saranagati). By shifting one's focus from panic to Hanuman's divine attributes—unwavering devotion, infinite strength, and selfless service—the practitioner accesses inner reserves of courage to overcome seemingly impossible situations.

[GHHF] Judith Tyberg, a Sanskrit Scholar, viewed Sanskrit as a living, sacred system of spiritual science, sound vibration, and cosmic psychology.

Judith Tyberg (1902–1980), also known by her spiritual name Jyotipriya, was an American orientalist, educator, Sanskrit scholar, and yogi. She played a pivotal role in bridging Eastern philosophy and Western understanding during the 20th century. Born at the Point Loma Theosophical Community in California, Tyberg studied classical languages, religion, and philosophy from an early age. She began formal Sanskrit studies in 1930 and eventually earned her Ph.D. in Sanskritic Studies from the Theosophical University. She wrote several books, including “Sanskrit Keys to the Wisdom Religion”; “Hymn to the Origin of the World from the Rig Veda”; “First Lessons in Sanskrit Grammar and Reading”; “The Language of the Gods: Sanskrit Keys to India's Wisdom”; and others Dr. Radhakrishna, Vice Chancellor of Benares Hindu University, awarded her a three-year scholarship to study in India. At BHU, she studied traditional Sanskrit and Indian philosophy, interacting with academic authorities, professors, and traditional Sanskrit scholars. She talked about the greatness of Sanskrit: "Sanskrit is one of the noblest languages that human genius has brought forth. Because of its grandeur, it is one of the most difficult to understand. Sanskrit is the pride of the people of India, and knowledge of it gives the key to their hearts. It is the learned language of India, the language of its cultured inhabitants" Tyberg’s view of Sanskrit’s importance was quoted by the Los Angeles Times: “Not only are the languages used on the European and American continents deficient in words dealing with spirit, but many of the English words that do have spiritual connotations are so weighty with false and dogmatic beliefs that it is difficult to convey an exact meaning to all ... while Sanskrit expresses the inner mysteries of the soul and spirit, the many after-death states, the origin and destiny of worlds and men and human psychology.” In her view, the very pronunciation and etymology of Sanskrit act as spiritual keys that unlock deep truths about the universe, human consciousness, and the inner workings of the soul. She taught that ancient seers consciously designed its structure and vocabulary to reflect divine realities and elevate human awareness toward higher states of spiritual realization. She spent two months in the Sri Aurobindo Ashram in Autumn 1947. On November 24, one of the four days each year when Sri Aurobindo broke his seclusion, Tyberg paid her reverence to Sri Aurobindo and his spiritual collaborator, Mirra Alfassa, a Frenchwoman known as “The Mother”. Tyberg’s diary recorded her experience: “I just felt God”, “electric forces”, “stretched out to infinity”, and “I really knew what my soul was”. In a private audience with The Mother, Judith Tyberg asked to receive a spiritual name, which Sri Aurobindo chose: “Jyotipriya, the lover of Light”. After spending three years in India, she founded the East-West Cultural Center in Los Angeles (later known as the Sri Aurobindo Center of Los Angeles). The center served as a hub for hosting Indian scholars, yogis, and spiritual teachers, making traditional Indian philosophy accessible to Western students. A passage from the book “Sanskrit Keys to the World Religion”, by Judith Tyberg Sanskrit is one of the noblest languages that human genius has brought forth. Because of its grandeur it is one of the most difficult to understand. Sanskrit is the pride of the people of India, and knowledge of it gives the key to their hearts. It is the learned language of India, the language of its cultured inhabitants, the language of its religion, philosophy, literature, and science, a language very much alive in the heart-life of its people. The Hindus are a nation of philosophers and mystics. Max Muller called them "the most highly gifted race of mankind." Almost every phase of philosophical thought in the West is represented in one form or another in Hindu philosophical works.” The India of old is constantly rising in estimation since the discovery of its grand achievements in language, literature, art and philosophy. It will be realized more and more that a knowledge of the culture of old India is essential to the foundation of a proper understanding of the origin and growth of Western civilization. Sanskrit is a language which, though possessing voluminous and valuable works in prose and verse, has but recently become known to Europe. Just as a botanist may estimate the age of a tree from the number of its branches and the circumference of its trunk, so in like manner, a linguist can estimate the age of a language from the number of its branch-dialects and the area of the country over which it is spoken. As there is no language so perfect in its forms and with so many branches and sub-branches as the Sanskrit, it must be regarded as the oldest of all the existing literary languages. Besides being the oldest of our literary languages it is also the most replete with knowledge concerning the wonderful and recondite potentialities of the human spirit. Jyotipriya left her body at 3:15 p.m. on the third of October 1980.  In her last testament she had written: “In the event of my death, I would like my body to be cremated and the ashes there from thrown among the flowers of a happy garden.  May any service that may be held be one of meditation, music and prayer for the speedy return of my soul to the Divine for new joy, power and wisdom, so I may return again to serve the Light.”  After a life where she sought “long service ... in search of truth, beauty and joy to share with all”, her final aspiration was “the speedy return of my soul to the Divine ... so I may return again to serve the Light”. She also met Mahatma Gandhi, Maulana Azad, V. K. Gokak, B. L. Atreya, Anandamayi Ma, Ramana Maharshi, Sri Ramdas, and Krishna Prem and others. Tyberg spent a week with the sage Ramana Maharshi at his Arunachala ashram where he told her “You’re already realized, you just don’t know it.” Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] What is the Importance of performing Gau Puja, and what are its benefits?

Gau Puja (cow worship) is a deeply significant practice in Sanatana Dharma. It is part of the Intinta Shiva Abhishekam, where Global Hindu Heritage Foundation organizes the Gau Puja before starting Shiva Abhishekam on each Monday. It goes beyond ritualistic respect, serving as a manifestation of universal motherly care, divine presence, and spiritual and physical well-being. We worship Gau Mata as an embodiment of selfless giving, nourishment, and the possessor of all deities.  Pitrupaksha is observed in 2026 from September 26 through October 10. These 15 days, also known as Mahalaya Paksha, are considered the most auspicious time to perform rituals, prayers, and acts of charity in memory of departed souls. Among all offerings, feeding cows during Pitru Paksha is considered one of the most powerful and sacred acts. One may offer grass, grains, bananas, fruits, or support a gaushala in serving these gentle beings. In doing so, you honor your lineage, connect with your roots, and invite peace, prosperity, and harmony into your home What are several key reasons for the importance of performing Gau Puja: 1. Spiritual & Scriptural Significance •    Abode of Deities: The cow is revered as Gau Mata and is believed to harbor nearly 36 crore deities within her body. For instance, Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu reside at the base of her horns, while Lord Shiva and Goddess Uma reside in her forehead. Worshipping the cow is thus equivalent to offering prayers to all divine forces simultaneously.  •    Goddess Kamadhenu: Gau Puja honors the spirit of Kamadhenu—the celestial cow of plenty that emerged during the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan). She symbolizes infinite abundance and the power to fulfill all noble wishes.  •    Connection to Sacred Scriptures: The Rig Veda extols the cow as the mother of cosmic forces and warns against harming her. Furthermore, Lord Krishna is remembered as Govinda and Gopala—the divine protector and friend of cows.  2. Spiritual Benefits of Performing Gau Puja •    Removal of Negativity & Karmic Sins: Worshipping Gau Mata helps dissolve karmic burdens, cleanses negative energies, and helps overcome severe sins (Papa).  •    Overcoming Obstacles: The ritual aids in overcoming debts, protecting against adversaries, and creating peace and tranquility in the home and society.  •    Attaining Prosperity & Well-being: Like the legendary account of King Dilipa—who worshipped Kamadhenu on the advice of Sage Vasishta to be blessed with lineage—Gau Puja is performed to gain health, wealth, family happiness, and spiritual growth.  3. Societal & Ethical Role •    Universal Compassion: Performing Gau Puja fosters a spirit of selfless service, non-violence (Ahimsa), and gratitude toward nature and animals that sustain life.  •    Preservation of Indigenous (Desi) Breed: GHHF promotes establishing Gaushalas to protect native cow breeds, preventing illegal slaughter and encouraging sustainable, organic agricultural practices through natural fertilizers. What are the benefits of doing Gau Puja? Gau Puja (cow worship) and Gau Seva (service to cows) are considered sacred practices in Sanatana Dharma, rooted in spiritual, ecological, and moral values.  1. Spiritual & Karmic Benefits •    Invocations of Deities: Hindu scriptures describe Gau Mata as harboring divine forces and 36 crore deities within her body. Worshipping a cow is considered equivalent to offering prayers to all divine manifestations simultaneously.  •    Purification of Karmic Burdens: Performing Gau Puja is traditionally believed to cleanse negative energy, remove karmic sins (Papa), and establish peace within oneself and the home.  •    Symbol of Divine Abundance: The cow represents Kamadhenu—the celestial wish-fulfilling cow—symbolizing infinite prosperity, longevity, and well-being.  2. Benefits of Panchagavya and Cow Products The GHHF emphasizes that worshipping and protecting the cow allows humanity to receive the divine Paso-prasadam and the benefits of Panchagavya (the five sacred products: milk, curd, ghee, urine, and dung):  •    Medicinal & Ayurvedic Value: In Ayurveda, cow dung and urine are recognized for their antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and skin-healing properties.  •    Environmental & Ritual Purity: Sacred fires (Yajnas and Homas) fueled with cow dung and desi ghee help purify the air, reduce pollutants, and elevate the environmental energy field.  3. Physical & Environmental Well-being •    Promoting Health (Panchagavya): Products provided by native cows (milk, curd, ghee, urine, dung) form the basis of Panchagavya used in Ayurvedic health practices (Cowpathy) and sacred rituals.  •    Purification of the Energy Field: Performing Yajnas and Aartis using cow ghee and natural dung cakes is believed to purify the surrounding atmosphere, reducing environmental pollutants and increasing positive energy. 4. Ethical & Societal Value •    Practice of Ahimsa (Non-violence): Caring for and worshipping cows cultivates empathy, humility, and universal compassion toward all living beings.  •    Preservation of Indigenous Breeds: Encouraging Gau Puja directly supports local Gaushalas (cow shelters), preserving native cattle breeds and encouraging sustainable, organic agricultural practices.  Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

Flydubai Aircraft incident alerts us that Muslims have a clear manifesto to wipe out all Kafirs. Will Kafirs ever learn from Islamic terrorism?

“Tell the truth boldly, whether it hurts or not. Never pander to weakness. If truth is too much for intelligent people and sweeps them away, let them go; the sooner the better.” Swami Vivekananda Muslim terrorists have carried out several major attacks globally over the past decades, resulting in thousands of casualties.  September 11 Attacks (2001); Bali Bombings (2002); Madrid Train Bombings (2004); London Bombings (2005); Mumbai Attacks (2008); Boston Marathon Bombing (2013); Paris Attacks (2015); October 7 Attack (2023); Crocus City Hall Attack (2024; and many more were carried out by Islamist terrorists.  On September 30th, a Muslim copilot allegedly stabbed the captain and attempted to crash the Flydubai plane and kill all 174 passengers and 6 crew. According to Israeli officials, the first officer, an Omani national, stabbed captain Smit Machchhar (from Mumbai, India) and tried to sabotage the aircraft’s systems. Witnesses said the plane entered a tailspin and began to dive. Passengers and crew entered the cockpit, restrained the attacker, and enabled a second pair of Flydubai pilots on board to land the plane in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Not all religions divide people into believers and nonbelievers. Not all religions divide people into believers and sinners. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism do not divide people into believers and nonbelievers. They do not brand them as infidels, sinners, Kafirs and nonbelievers. These religions do not put them through torture, terror, violence, and conversion. Islam openly talks about conversions, violence, terror, and hell. Islam is replete with atrocities against infidels. India suffered untold misery, torture, violence, and deaths for more than eight centuries in the hands of Muslim rulers. Let us look at what the Quran says against non-Muslims and see how they are treated. 1) DISBELIEVERS Allah will throw fear into the hearts of the disbelievers and smite their necks and fingers. The Quran, Sura 8:12 The fires of hell will be fueled with the bodies of idolaters and unbelievers. They will experience an ever-greater torment. The Quran, Sura 72:15-17 Smite the necks of the disbelievers whenever you fight against them. Those who die fighting for Allah will be rewarded. The Quran, Sura 47:4 Those who reject our Signs (verses), We shall soon cast into the Fire: as often as their skins are roasted through, we shall change them for fresh skins, so that they may taste the penalty: for Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise. The Quran, Sura 4:56 Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …" Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims)." Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …" Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey’s end. (Quran 66.9)  CHRISTIANS AND JEWS Allah has stirred up enmity and hatred among Christians. The Quran, Sura 5:14 Christians are disbelievers for believing in the divinity of Christ.  The Quran, Sura 5:17 Disbelievers will have a painful doom. The Quran, Sura 5:36 Jews and Christians are evil-livers. The Quran, Sura 5:59 Christians will be burned in the Fire. The Quran, Sura 5:72 Christians and Jews are perverse. Allah himself fights against them. The Quran, Sura 9:30 BELIEVERS IN IDOLS The fires of hell will be fueled with the bodies of idolaters and unbelievers. They will experience an ever-greater torment. The Quran, Sura 72:15-17 "So when the sacred months have passed away, then slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush, then if they repent and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, leave their way free to them."  Quran, Sura 9:5. “ye who believe! The idolaters only are unclean... (9.28)  And [Abraham] said, "You have only taken, other than Allah, idols as [a bond of] affection among you in worldly life. Then on the Day of Resurrection you will deny one another and curse one another, and your refuge will be the Fire, and you will not have any helpers." (29:25) JIZYA "Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." Quran (9:29) "If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them." Hadith: Muslim (19:4294) "He who withholds the Jizya is an enemy of Allah and His apostle."  Hadith: Ishaq 956 & 962 SHARIA LAW The following are some of the axioms you find in the Quran, Hadith, and other Islamic scriptures: 1) In Sharia law, a Muslim can testify in court against a Kafir, but a Kafir may not testify against a Muslim. In Sharia law, it is illegal for a Muslim to kill a fellow Muslim, but it is not illegal for a Muslim to kill a Kafir. (A Kafir is an unbeliever, an infidel). 2) In Sharia law, women and non-Muslims are denied equal status. Quran and Hadith claim that women are inferior to men, and the testimony of a woman is worth only half of a man's in a Sharia court. Similarly, non-Muslim testimony is worth only half of a Muslim. 3) Sharia Law does not allow any Muslim to leave his faith. The punishment for a Muslim to leave his faith is death. 4) Non-Muslims are not given the right to build their places of worship according to Sharia Law. That means Hindus cannot build Temples if they come to power and enforce Sharia Law.  The Hindu population has dwindled in Pakistan to almost nothing, from about 20 percent at the time of Independence to almost none, and the Hindu population in Bangladesh dwindled from about 26 percent to less than 6 percent. These governments deliberately demolished Hindu Temples and terrorized the Hindu population. 5) Any discussion and criticism of Islam is punishable by death if Sharia law is enforced. TIME TO PONDER AND TIME FOR OPEN DISCUSSION Based on the verses in the Quran listed above, would the National Commission on Minorities (NCM) consider these verses as inciting violence (IPC section 158 A-B) or promoting peace, as malicious insult of religion (IPC section 295-A) or promoting respect for other religions, and as statements constituting public mischief (IPC section 505) or promoting public harmony?  Would the NCM go to court challenging these verses because they are offensive, insulting, violent, mischievous, and outright offensive to humanity itself? Indian government and other States should look at their Departments of Minority Affairs that provide unbelievable incentives to Muslims, neglecting the majority Hindus. India should learn from a torturous, turbulent history where Hindus were killed, women raped, Hindu temples attacked, and Hindu idols defaced. Not only have Hindus failed to learn from history, but they are also pampering the minorities who are determined to wipe out Sanatana Dharma and make India an Islamic country.  Will the above-listed verses in the Quran confirm to “the upholding of the sovereignty, unity and integrity of India” as demanded by NCM? Every human being, irrespective of his/her religion, should protect India from being converted into an Islamic Country.  Bharat is more important than politics, security of the country is more important than appeasement, peaceful coexistence is more important than exclusivity of the chosen faith, pluralistic values are more important than preferential treatment, freedom of expression is more important than vote bank politics, societal harmony is more important than terrorism, and equal opportunities are more important than preferential minority rights to resources. It is time to have an open discussion about any religion that demeans, derides, ridicules, inflames, and criticizes other religions. It is time to discuss openly and honestly any religion that openly advocates terror, discriminates against other religions, calls them or brands them as non-Muslims to be expendable, imprints the followers of other religions as pagans and Kafirs, imposes Jizya taxes on the followers of other religions, calls for killing the idolaters, supports the idea of putting non-Muslims to ever-greater torment, etc. Will the Muslims and their sympathizers discuss the above-listed verses one by one without brushing them aside? Would they denounce all the hateful verses of the Koran that call for the death of everyone who practices another religion? Let sanity set in and insanity be set right.

GHHF Opens Doors to Economic Independence for Women in Rajahmundry.

https://bharatobserver.in/ghhf-opens-doors-to-economic-independence-for-women-in-rajahmundry/ For many women, the opportunity to learn a practical skill can be the beginning of a much larger change. Recognizing this, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has expanded its women’s empowerment initiative with the opening of a new free sewing and tailoring training centre in Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh. The initiative is designed to provide women from underprivileged communities with professional tailoring skills that can eventually help them earn an independent income. The programme is part of GHHF’s broader grassroots work, which combines social development with its efforts to strengthen families and communities. From Addateegala to Rajahmundry The sewing initiative first began in the remote agency area of Addateegala in Alluri Sitharama Raju district. After completing training, the first group of women graduated with practical experience and greater confidence to pursue tailoring as a livelihood. The sewing machines used for that training were subsequently moved to Rajahmundry, allowing the programme to reach another group of women. The new centre was inaugurated at Sri Ramalayam, 36th Block, VAMBAY Colony, Mahadeva Area, 16th Ward, Rajahmundry, as part of GHHF’s 20th anniversary initiatives. The centre operates under the guidance of GHHF Founder President Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi and National General Secretary Sri Rajesh Thunuguntla, with local volunteers helping organize and operate the programme. Community Support Strengthens the Initiative The inauguration also brought support from local religious and community leaders. Sri Sri Sri Skandha Swamy of Konthamuru Shanmukha Peetham blessed the new centre and pledged to donate five sewing machines to women who successfully complete their training with excellence. Similarly, Sri Singavarapu Satyanarayana, Director of the Godavari Ghat Sri Visweswara Swamy Temple, committed to providing another sewing machine as a reward for a graduating trainee. The programme was organized with the efforts of East Godavari district volunteers Sri Rayudu Raghavarao and Sri Singavarapu Ramakrishna. Skills That Can Strengthen a Household The Rajahmundry centre is not an isolated effort. Another GHHF tailoring centre has been operating in Nandyal district, providing women with practical, income-generating skills. Running such centres, however, requires continuous support. Rent, electricity, trainer honorariums, fabrics, needles, thread and other training materials all contribute to the monthly operational costs. GHHF aims to keep the training free for women who may otherwise have limited access to vocational education. The foundation also hopes to establish similar centres in more underserved districts, expanding the opportunity to hundreds of women. Building Independence Through Skills The value of vocational training often extends well beyond the individual receiving it. A woman who learns tailoring can potentially take up employment, work from home, provide stitching services within her community or eventually establish a small enterprise. In that sense, the sewing machines at these centres represent more than equipment. They are tools through which women can acquire a skill, develop confidence and explore greater financial independence. With the Rajahmundry centre now joining its ongoing initiatives in other districts, GHHF’s tailoring programme continues to focus on a simple principle: when women receive the skills and opportunity to become economically self-reliant, the benefits can reach their entire families and communities.

[GHHF] Why do Hindus observe Pitru Paksha? What are its significance and benefits?

Hindus observe Pitru Paksha (a sacred 16-day lunar period during the waning phase of the moon) primarily to honor, remember, and thank their ancestors. Pitru Paksha means “fortnight of the ancestors,” during which the living connect with their ancestors by performing Shradha, which includes cooked food, water, sesame seeds, and rice balls. In 2026, Pitru Paksha begins on September 26 and culminates on October 10. Why do Hindus observe Pitru Paksha? 1)    Repaying Ancestral Debt (Pitru Runa): Hindu philosophy teaches that every individual is born with certain debts. Pitru Runa is the debt owed to one's parents, grandparents, and earlier generations who nurtured, protected, and preserved the lineage, culture, and values that make modern existence possible. 2)    Performing Shraddha and Tarpana: During this fortnight, families perform specific rituals such as Shraddha (offerings made with utmost reverence), Pind Daan (offering rice and sesame balls), and Tarpana (offering water mixed with sesame seeds). These rites are performed on the specific lunar day (tithi) corresponding to an ancestor's passing to help liberate their souls and grant them peace in the afterlife (Pitru Loka). 3)    Seeking Blessings: It is believed that satisfied ancestors bestow health, harmony, wisdom, and prosperity upon their living descendants, while also helping clear lingering karmic obstacles (Pitru Dosha) in the family tree. 4)    Cultivating Gratitude and Continuity: Beyond strict rituals, Pitru Paksha serves as a designated time to reflect on family roots, remember the sacrifices of past generations, and pass down cultural memory to younger family members. Acts of charity—such as feeding the needy, priests, cows, and crows—are also performed in the name of the departed as a gesture of universal compassion. Hindu scriptures such as the Garuda Purana, Brahma Purana, Agni Purana, and epics like the Mahabharata detail the profound metaphysical, karmic, and moral importance of Pitru Paksha. Across these scriptures, the observance is framed not merely as a cultural custom, but as a core pillar of Sanatana Dharma (eternal duty). In the Bhagavad Geeta (Chapter 9, Verse 25), Lord Krishna explains: “Those who worship ancestors go to ancestors, those who worship deities go to deities, but those who worship God attain God.” This shows that while worshiping ancestors is a noble duty, the highest goal of life is devotion to the Supreme. Still, by performing Shraddh rituals, we fulfill our responsibility towards the souls who gave us life and blessings. Further, the Bhagavad Gita says, "The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed." (2:20). The body may perish, but the soul journeys onward. Thus, scriptures explicitly stress that Pitru Paksha is incomplete without Daan (charity). Texts state that feeding the hungry, distributing food to Brahmins, and offering morsels to animals and birds (particularly crows and cows, viewed as messengers or bridges to the ancestral realm) fulfills the law of cosmic reciprocity. Doing good deeds and feeding others in the name of the departed generates merit (punya) that directly benefits both the living lineage and the ancestors' souls. According to the Mahabharata, after Karna was killed, they took him to heaven, where they offered him jewels and gold as food when he was hungry. Indra told him that he had never offered food to the ancestors, only jewels and flowers. Realizing his grave mistake, Karna asks Indra for 15 days to make it right. During this time, he returned to Earth, performed shraddha for his ancestors, and offered food in their memory. Because Karna stayed on Earth during these days, Hindus celebrate this period as Pitru Paksha, and it has become a tradition to offer Pinda Shraddha to departed souls. What are the benefits of doing Pitru Paksha? Observing Pitru Paksha brings several spiritual, psychological, and familial benefits according to Hindu tradition and cultural ethos: •    Properly performing ancestral rites is believed to appease unsatisfied ancestral souls, thereby mitigating or resolving Pitru Dosha—an astrological affliction thought to cause ongoing hurdles, health struggles, or marital and career delays in a family. •    By expressing gratitude to our ancestors, they reciprocate with blessings for health, wealth, longevity, peace, and overall family well-being. •    Performing rituals like Shraddha and Pind Daan, they are believed to nourish the souls of the deceased, helping them attain Moksha (liberation from the cycle of rebirth)  •    Fulfilling duties toward one's ancestors, they free an individual from karmic debt (Pitru Rina), bringing a sense of inner peace and spiritual alignment. •    Performance of these rituals reveals our deep sense of identity, respect for elders, and continuity of family values.

[GHHF] Students learned about Jatindra Nath Das, the Immortal Hero, Who Sacrificed His Life for the Nation.

GHHF continues to teach about the sacrifices our heroes made so we can all enjoy freedom. Let us all be grateful for their sacrifice, remember their bravery, and share it with all our family members and friends.  India was under British rule, and the nation yearned for freedom. On one hand, the British government imposed numerous restrictions on the Indian people. On the other hand, patriotism and the desire for independence were growing stronger among the youth day by day. During this period, a young hero named Jatindra Nath Das sacrificed his life for the nation. He was lovingly known as Jatin Das. Jatindra Nath Das was born on October 27, 1904, in Calcutta. His father was Bankim Bihari Das, and his mother was Kamal Kumari Das. From a young age, Jatindra Nath Das grew up observing the conditions prevailing in the country. He was deeply troubled by the suffering of his fellow Indians under foreign rule. Along with his education, his desire to do something for his country grew stronger. As a young man, he actively participated in the freedom movement and worked against British rule. For participating in the struggle for India's independence, the British government arrested him and imprisoned him. However, prison did not weaken his courage. He was deeply troubled by the way British authorities treated Indian political prisoners like ordinary criminals. He demanded that political prisoners receive basic dignity and proper facilities, including good food, clean clothing, and opportunities to study. He believed this was not merely a personal issue, but a matter of dignity and rights for every political prisoner fighting for the nation. In 1929, when revolutionaries such as Bhagat Singh and Batukeshwar Dutt were imprisoned, they began a hunger strike demanding better rights and treatment for political prisoners. Jatindra Nath Das also joined the hunger strike. From that day, one of the most difficult struggles of his life began. As the days passed, his body became weaker, and his health deteriorated. Yet, he refused to give up his decision. He continued the struggle not only for himself but also for the dignity and rights of his fellow political prisoners. Although the hunger strike grew more intense with each passing day, Jatindra Nath Das never wavered in his resolve. Even as his body grew weaker, his patriotism and determination grew stronger. His medical report of 12 September 1929 read: 'Das has fever- temperature morning 100 degrees, evening 99 degrees, pulse is 130 p.m.-very rapid. Vomitted only once in the day. Retching and hiccup still persist, though less frequent and shorter in duration. Mentally it is still clear. Taking water to which glucose is added without his knowledge. He continued his hunger strike for 63 days. Finally, on September 13, 1929, he sacrificed his life in Lahore Jail. He was only 24 years old. A young man's life had ended, but his sacrifice sparked a powerful response across the nation. When his mortal remains were taken from Lahore to Calcutta, thousands of people gathered along the way to pay their respects. His final journey inspired even greater courage and patriotism among Indians who were fighting for independence. Although Jatindra Nath Das lived only a short life, his sacrifice remains forever etched in the history of India's freedom struggle. Children! We do not need to sacrifice our lives like Jatindra Nath Das. But we can practice the spirit of patriotism that he demonstrated in our everyday lives. Studying sincerely, respecting our parents and teachers, keeping our school and surroundings clean, protecting public property, helping those in need, and fulfilling our responsibilities properly — all these are ways of showing our responsibility towards our nation. On this day, as we remember Jatindra Nath Das, every student should ask themselves one question: “What can I do for my country?” Every good action we take should answer that question. The true tribute we can offer the great heroes who sacrificed their lives for our nation is to fulfill our responsibility to build the free, strong, and great India they dreamed of.

Stitching Paths to Independence: GHHF Launches New Free Sewing Center in Rajahmundry to Uplift Families

  https://youtu.be/rzXOp9ZeOto?si=WoxQzCtqVXCBCzKD True community transformation begins at the grass roots. Committed to preserving Sanatana Dharma while uplifting society, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has spent the past several months quietly laying the groundwork for sustainable change through free tailoring and sewing training centers. While the foundation’s Bala Samskara Kendras nurture values, character, and cultural roots in young minds, a natural truth emerged: to secure a child’s tomorrow, a family must stand on stable ground today. By training mothers and local women in professional tailoring, GHHF is opening clear pathways toward financial self-reliance, giving women the confidence, skill, and dignity of earning their own living. This ongoing journey first took root in the remote agency area of Addateegala in Alluri Sitharama Raju district. There, the first batch of women completed intensive, hands-on training, gaining the skills and confidence to pursue independent livelihoods. Once those trainees successfully graduated, the sewing machines were relocated to breathe life into a brand-new training hub in the historic city of Rajahmundry. As part of GHHF's 20th anniversary initiatives, under the guidance of Founder President Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi and the leadership of National General Secretary Sri Rajesh Thunuguntla, this newly established center was inaugurated at Sri Ramalayam, 36th Block, VAMBAY Colony, Mahadeva Area (16th Ward), Rajahmundry. The inaugural ceremony was blessed by Sri Sri Sri Skandha Swamy of Konthamuru Shanmukha Peetham. Deeply moved by the quiet impact of this mission, generous patrons stepped forward: Sri Skandha swamy promised to gift five sewing machines to women who successfully complete the training with excellence, while Sri Singavarapu Satyanarayana, Director of the Godavari Ghat Sri Visweswara Swamy Temple, pledged to present another machine as a reward for a graduating trainee. The program was organized with care and dedication by East Godavari district Volunteers Sri Rayudu Raghavarao and Sri Singavarapu Ramakrishna. Alongside this newly opened facility in Rajahmundry, another GHHF sewing training center has been running continuously in Nandyal district, steadily equipping women with practical, income-generating skills. Behind each bustling classroom lies an unspoken reality of sustained effort and monthly operational costs. Keeping these centers completely free for underprivileged women requires regular funding for building rent, electricity bills, monthly honorariums for dedicated master trainers, and practice materials like fabrics, needles, and threads. Beyond sustaining the ongoing work at Rajahmundry and Nandyal, GHHF envisions extending this initiative into more underserved districts, opening doors for hundreds more women waiting for an opportunity to change their families' fortunes. When you empower a woman with a viable skill, you do more than provide an income—you elevate an entire household and strengthen the moral fabric of a community. Expanding these centers and carrying this quiet revolution into new areas depends on the shared goodwill of compassionate donors and patrons. Whether through sponsoring a sewing machine or adopting the monthly operational expense of a training center, every contribution becomes a direct instrument of hope and dignity. GHHF warmly invites thoughtful benefactors to join hands in this meaningful endeavor and help write new stories of self-reliance, resilience, and quiet triumph.  Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Students learned about Rishi Panchami, which honors seven Rishis for their timeless wisdom and perennial preservation of Dharma

Our Rishis — Our Treasure of Knowledge Every festival in India carries a profound message. Some festivals remind us of our deities. Some help us remember great personalities who sacrificed for our nation. Others remind us of our responsibilities towards our family, nature, and society. Rishi Panchami is one such festival. It gives us a special opportunity to remember and honor the great Maharishis who gave us the wealth of knowledge. Rishi Panchami is observed on Shukla Panchami in the month of Bhadrapada. On this day, according to our tradition, we worship the Saptarishis (Seven Great Rishis) with devotion: Maharishi Kashyapa, Maharishi Atri, Maharishi Bharadwaja, Maharishi Vishwamitra, Maharishi Gautama, Maharishi Jamadagni, and Maharishi Vashishta. Children, think about this for a moment. Why do we still remember these great Maharishis who lived thousands of years ago? They were not kings. They did not leave behind vast amounts of wealth for us. They did not build grand palaces and leave them behind. Yet why do their names still hold such a respected place in our hearts? Because the greatest wealth they gave us was knowledge. Our Rishis performed intense spiritual practices in their search for truth. They observed nature and explored questions such as: How should a human being live? What is Dharma? How can a person understand their true self? They did not keep the knowledge they gained only for themselves. They taught their disciples, and those disciples passed it on to future generations. In this way, knowledge traveled from one generation to another. That is why the Rishi holds such a high and respected place in our tradition. A Rishi is not merely a person who performs penance. A Rishi is a great soul who seeks truth, gains knowledge, and shares that knowledge for the welfare of society. Each of the Saptarishis represents great qualities that we can learn from. Maharishi Vashishta is renowned for his teachings on Dharma and his role as a Guru. He played an important role as a teacher in Sri Rama's life. The life of Maharishi Vishwamitra teaches us determination, discipline, spiritual practice, and perseverance. He was once a king, but through his dedication and intense spiritual practice, he attained the status of a Maharishi. His life teaches us that sincere effort can elevate and transform a person. Maharishi Atri is renowned for his spiritual practice and knowledge. Mata Anasuya is also remembered with great respect in Indian tradition. Maharishi Bharadwaja represents a great tradition of knowledge and learning. Maharishi Kashyapa holds a prominent place in our ancient Rishi tradition. Maharishi Gautama and Maharishi Jamadagni also hold distinguished places in our great lineage of Rishis. Our Rishis did not give us knowledge useful only in their own time. They passed down a treasure of knowledge that has benefited generations. Knowledge traditions such as the Vedas, Upanishads, Yoga, Ayurveda, and philosophical thought have been passed down through generations. Behind this great tradition of knowledge lies the dedicated spiritual practice and efforts of countless generations of Rishis. The desire to learn and the determination to seek truth are among the greatest values we can learn from our Rishis' lives. However, learning alone is not enough. Just as our Rishis passed their knowledge to future generations, we too should share what we know with others. We can teach a Shloka we know to younger children. We can tell our friends about the significance of our festivals. We can learn the valuable traditions known to our grandparents and pass them on to the next generation. The heritage we receive is not limited to houses, land, or material possessions. Our Dharma, our culture, and our knowledge are also precious parts of the heritage passed down to us. We are responsible for learning about them, respecting them, and preserving them. On Rishi Panchami, as we offer our respects to the Saptarishis, we should remember one important thing: the lamp of knowledge that our ancestors lit for us is now in our hands. We should not allow that lamp to stop with us. We must learn, practice what we learn, and pass it on to the next generation. Therefore, on this Rishi Panchami, let us take a pledge: ●    We will learn about our Rishis. ●    We will respect knowledge. ●    We will learn good values and put them into practice. ●    We will protect and preserve our Dharma and culture. ●    We will pass the good knowledge we have received on to the next generation.
