Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform that more than 3,000 Adivasis attended the program where we talked about our activities how we are committed to preserving and propagating the rich and traditional culture. GHHF is conducting a number of activities around Rompa Chodavaram in Alluri Sitarama Raju District. On December 7, 2025, this program was arranged to acknowledge the value of the activities GHHF conducting.  GHHF has been organizing a number of activities over the last two years such as Ghar Wapasi, Bala Samskar Kendras, and Grama Devata renovations. We also provided Mike sets to the Temples. We were warmly received by the Adivasis. It is astonishing to see how dedicated they are to following their traditions. They washed the feet, applied turmeric, kumkum and offered flowers. Offered garlands and held my hand and taken to the stage. We went to the Renuka Ellamma Temple and then on to the stage. Adivasi culture in Andhra Pradesh is rich, centered on nature worship, ancestral traditions, distinct festivals like unique Sankranti rituals with animal feasts, and deep forest connections, seen in tribes like Chenchus, Bagatas, and Khonds in hilly regions like Araku, featuring specific deities (Mysamma, Peddamma), Podu (shifting cultivation), traditional dress, and strong community governance, though facing modern influences and development challenges.  The organizing Committee consisting of Thota Rama Krishan, Bachchala Subba Reddy, Kadabala Mohan Rao, Chodi Ramababu, Murla Nagamani, Lakshmi, Ganapathi Reddy and others worked tirelessly visiting each village and inviting them to attend the function. Because of the reputation GHHF has created in the village, they came from different villages far and near, many of them were sitting outside tents on the grass. Rajesh Thunuguntla, GHHF Board Member and National Secretary of GHHF Bharat talked about GHHF and introduced me by saying that I am 87 years old and still very active. Why and how we started GHHF and its mission. Then he asked the audience, “What is Sanatan dharma?” He traced the forest living of Adivasis to the ancient Rishis who lived in the peaceful forest areas where they wrote Vedas, Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, and Puranas. He explained the number of projects GHHF is organizing in nine different States in Bharat, Bangladesh and Congo. We conduct these activities depending on the needs of the village, Prakasarao Velagapudi described the incident that started the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. Former Chief Minister issues G O 21 allowing the construction of new churches and renovation of old churches with government money. We went to High Court and got Stay Oder. Then we started GHHF. There are many Dalits Priests working in several Temples. About 15 years ago I went to the villages in Telangana with Sri Kamal Kumar Bharati. There are hundreds of Dalit priests managing the Temples in Telangana. The story behind this narrative is that once a Zamindar in Telangana was going on a horse to see Venkateswara Swamy in Tirupati. At one point in Telangana, the horse stopped and refused to move. Zamindar could not do anything. Suddenly, a Dalit came and said that Lord Venkateswara Temple is within walking. Zamindar had Balaji darshan and announced that Dalits should serve as priests in the temples around that area. He told the audience to be careful and exercise their vote properly and ask every politician what they can do for their community, The government gives all kind of incentives to Muslims and Christians, Hindus are ignored completely. The government builds Hajj Houses, Christian Houses, send Muslims to Mecca and Christians to Jerusalem.  He mentioned the greatness of Bhagavad Gita and Upanishads. About 25 Bobel Prize winners acknowledged their influence in receiving the Nobel prize. Many scientists across the world appreciate the intellectual fervor of Sanatana Dharma. Dalits have played a significant. Nature worship is part of their culture and should protect it and transfer moral values to their children. GHHF started about 15 Bala Samskar Kendras in this area where we talk about the richness of culture. The invited guests who spoke on the occasion are: Ramana Rama Dandu, Kambala Srinivasa Rao, Seethamsetty Venkateswarlu, Boggula Katamreddy and Putluru Venkata Krishna. Donations are appreciated.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation received a request to provide a new vigraha to be replaced by a murti whose hand was broken. Realizing the importance of maintain the full vibrations in the Temple and creating harmony in the community, GHHF agreed to provide a new vigraha.  A Maremma temple was built in SC Colony, Ayudhakallu village, Settur mandal more than 100 years ago. A Temple Trustee realized the idol had become damaged and was not suitable for worship. However, the organization's workers asked the organization's elders to provide an idol of the goddess. They approached GHHF. Dr, Prakash Rao of GHHF immediately responded and helped to provide an idol of the goddess to their village. This program was carried out by Prakash Rao to the temple in a procession.  The villagers welcomed the new Goddess in a big procession where villagers were washing the streets as the vehicle carrying the Goddess was going through the main street. Some were throwing flowers, others mango leaves. Sri Gopi Chary, the priest who is associated with GHHF for the last eight years came with us performed all the initial rituals required before the installation. In Hinduism, broken idols are replaced in temples because they are believed to lose their divine energy (prana) and spiritual power once damaged, becoming inauspicious and potentially attracting negative energy, so they are respectfully removed through rituals and replaced with new, properly consecrated ones to maintain the sanctity and spiritual potency of the shrine.  Reasons for Replacement • Loss of Divine Energy (Prana): A consecrated idol is considered a vessel for the deity's energy; a break signifies this energy has departed, making the idol unfit for worship. • Inauspiciousness: Broken idols are seen as attracting misfortune or negative vibrations (vaastu dosh). • Disrespect to the Deity: Worshipping a damaged form is seen as disrespectful to the deity's image and presence. • Psychological Impact: A broken statue can disturb devotees and serve as a painful reminder of cultural desecration or personal humiliation, hindering spiritual focus.  Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] Speech Infront of a Hotel, third Venue to be cancelled to have a meeting to initiate the Declaration of Tirumala, Tirupati and Tiruchanur as a Punya Kshetra for Hindu. Unfortunately, Tirupati is riddled with Hindu mafia, criminals, coward who do not want any Hindu activities to be conducted without their blessing. TTD cancelled the venue, Shankar Matt cancelled the venue, and the Hotel cancelled because of harassment, threat for their business and life. Please lsten what has happened. https://youtu.be/bJ7QO1eYoK8?si=bXfiY0iqxi5Gs0yd

Lord Venkateswara, miracles never cease. He works wonders. He works in a mysterious way. If we had succeeded in renting Annamayya Kalyana Mantapam, or Shankar Matt or New Hotel, we would have ended up with only one meeting with not so much exposure.  With three failures, we were able to meet a great soul Dr K Sridhara Acharya who accommodated the meeting at 11:00am on November in his Navajeevan Eye Relief Centre. He became blind Dr. K. Sridhar Acharya is the founder and president of the Navajeevan Blind Relief Centre (also known as Navajeevan Charitable Eye Hospital) in Tirupati, India. He is an ex-Army service pensioner who was inspired to start the organization in 1979 after experiencing temporary vision loss due to a solar eclipse. the organization has expanded to provide a free residential school for blind children, an old-age home for destitute senior citizens, an eye hospital offering free surgeries to the poor, and other social welfare programs across Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. Dr. Acharya received the "National award for the empowerment of persons with disabilities" from the President of India in 2021.  We rescheduled our press meet at The Press Club of Tirupati at 4:30pm. I spoke for about 12 minutes highlighting the main purpose of the meeting. I mentioned that over the years every government has done many activities that either shrunk the size of the Seve Hills God’s landed properties or performed many activities that have ruined the sanctity of Tirumala. Some of them are listed below: •    Attempts to take over five hills from Seven Hills of Lord Balaji  •    Innumerable incidents of Christianization on the Hill •     use of adulterated ghee, made from chemicals and palm oil, in the sacred temple laddus.  •    Permission to build Mumtaj Hotel at the footsteps of Seven Hills •    Permission to hold Tablighi Jamaat meeting in Tirupati with about ten thousand Muslims •    Permission to Build Lulu Mall •    Unable to identify 4000 non-Hindus working in TTD •    Rapid expansion of liquor stores, wine shops, meat shops, etc. THE SOLUTION Primary Demands for TTD Administration & Preservation •    Global Hindu Heritage Foundation strongly feels that in order to maintain the sanctity of TTD, it must work with the State Government to declare the Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur corridor as a 'Sacred Pilgrimage Site / Divya Dhamam'. Former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao made this proposal in 1987. On August 31, 2014, the then Deputy Chief Minister, Sri Krishnamurthy, stated that following the vision of former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao, the temple city (Tirupati/Tirumala) would be developed on the lines of the Vatican. He further mentioned that "the Andhra Pradesh government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu, will transform Tirupati into a world-class city." •    Expansion of Kshethra Jurisdiction: The TTD's jurisdiction should be expanded from 27.5 square kilometers to 250 square kilometers, as suggested by the McKenzie 1801 manuscript, according to the Tirupati Declaration issued by Dayananda Saraswati and Pejawar Swamijis in 2006. •    Immediate Control: Instead of the 27.5 square kilometers specified in the Andhra Pradesh Government Order (G.O.) No. 338, TTD should take immediate action to bring the area of 250 square kilometers, which includes the various Thirthams (sacred water bodies) associated with the Sthala Puranam (history) of Sri Venkateswara Swamy, under its control. In this context, they cited the 1801 McKenzie Manuscript, according to which the Saptagiris (Seven Hills) extend to the Swarnamukhi River near Srikalahasti in the East, to Nagapatala Devarakonda in the West, to Yerraguntla Thota in Rayachoti Taluq in the North, and to Pillari Kanam near Narayanavanam in the South. Such an act would prevent the threat of non-Hindu activities on the Saptagiris. •    Prohibition of Non-Hindu Activities: TTD and the State Government must prevent the authorization of non-Hindu activities such as the Mumtaz Hotel, Lulu Mall, and Tablighi Jamaat in Tirumala and Tirupati. •    Identification of Christian Employees: It is estimated that nearly 4000 Christians are working in TTD. TTD must take specific measures to identify concealed Christians. •    Demolition of Illegal Structures: To protect the sanctity of TTD, all over 100 illegal structures must be immediately demolished as per the judgment given by the Supreme Court of India on April 30, 2025. We request every Hindu to work toward establishing the Holy city for all Hindus lake Mecca for Muslims and Vatican for Christians. Your donations are appreciated.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation planned to hold a Press Meet on November 29 in Tirupati. But we encountered several problems with underground mafia. The holiest TTD on the planet earth for Hindus, turns out to be a place for crooks, cowards, criminals and extortionists openly threatening people, businesses, and religious places. Underground mafia is full of force. Without their permission, and approval, it appears no Hindu can hold any function. They know how to manipulate, infiltrate and threaten.  •    First TTD agreed to give one place to hold our meeting, then it fell though •    Second, we rented Shakara Matt. Within 24 hours it was cancelled. •    Third, we book one Hotel. On 28th night we went and did the decoration, planned the head table, hung Lord Hanuman flags around the hall, rented more chairs, and left that night to return on the next day (29th) morning for 10:00am meeting. •    The hotel people receive about 10 calls from different people in the morning to cancel the meeting. They threatened the manager saying that they will destroy their business and create so many problems that they cannot overcome. Panicked and sacred, they called our Coordinator Smt. Rama Devi and told them to cancel. Few of our people went to the hotel to see if it could be salvaged. They were so scared they locked the rented hall and did not allow us to even enter the room. •    By 9:30 am, a sizable people showed up and were surprised at the rampant criminal groups operating in the city. •    One great soul Dr Acharya invited all the assembled people to his nearby Navajeevan Spiritual center where we had the meeting with a good number of people in attendance.  •    Following is the list of speakers at the meeting: Prakasarao Velagapudi Dr Sreedhara Acharyulu Raveender Reddy Chetan Gadi Sudhakar Chowdary Mahesh Degala Chandramouli Venkatadri & others     The purpose of the meeting is as follows: 1)  Declare Tirupati Tirumala and Tiruchanur a Punya Kshetra. 2)  As declared by McKenze in 1801, Seven hills extended upto 250 square kilometers instead if 27.5 square kilometers. How the Lord Balaji’s land shrunk so low?  Who is responsible? 3) Abrogate Hindu Endowment Act and let Hindus manage their Temples instead of governments 4)  TTD funds should used for the pilgrims, for their accommodation, comfort and safety instead of using for public works, sanitations purposes and Municipality needs. 5)  Non-Hindus working at TTD and other Hindu Temples must be removed.  6)  Nearly 100 illegal structures operating in Tirupati must be demolished.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation Has been initiating a number of programs in Bharat to awaken Hindu Bandhus (relatives) about the importance of singing bhajans praising the glory of Hindu deities, and it would help all Hindu to one place to make feel connected. There are several benefits of singing to the individuals who sing and also to the individual who listen. Singing bhajans is important for spiritual and emotional well-being, offering a way to connect with the divine, reduce stress, and promote inner peace. It can elevate consciousness, quiet the mind, and foster a sense of community through shared devotional practice. The practice is also seen as a path to spiritual growth, helping to purify the mind, release negative energy, and inspire positive emotions.  We reached around 4:00 pm and listened to the bhajan singing. Their singing elevated the mood of the people and also created so many vibrations all across the area. There are many benefits of singing and listening to the Bhajans. What are the Spiritual and emotional benefits • Connection with the divine: Singing bhajans helps individuals connect with God and feel His presence, which is considered a foundational practice in Bhakti Yoga. • Stress reduction: The rhythmic chanting and melodious tunes can induce a meditative state, leading to a calmer mind and a release of stress and anxiety. • Emotional and mental purification: Bhajans can purify the heart, uplift the mind, and help release negative energies and attachments to materialistic desires. • Inner peace and joy: The positive energy generated by devotional singing can lead to feelings of peace, joy, and gratitude, and enhance overall emotional resilience.  What are the physical benefits? • Concentration: Loudly singing bhajans can help overcome distracting sounds, leading to improved concentration and focus. • Physical health: Group devotional singing has been linked to physical benefits, such as improved circulation and lower blood pressure, potentially due to synchronized breathing.  What are the Community and cultural benefits? • Fosters community: Group bhajan sessions create a shared spiritual experience and a sense of community among participants. • Preserves tradition: This practice preserves a rich legacy of devotional wisdom and mysticism from various saints and spiritual traditions.  Your donations are appreciated.

Dear Friends. Lord Venkateswara is a Kaliyuga Devudu (Deity). Hindu devotees throng to have His darshan and receive the boundless blessing. As the name indicates “Ven” means Sin, “kat” means destroy. That means he is a God of destroyer of sins. Many Puranas extolled the greatness of Srinivasa.     From childhood I have believed in Balaji. In fact, He was instrumental in getting the Reserve Bank of India’s clearance in 1965 that enabled me to go to USA.  Also, I fasted eating one meal on Saturdays for over 25 years.       Either as a person or President of GHHF, I will never do any thing to hurst the image of Balaji.      However, we will not keep quiet if the TTD officials are acting in contrary to dharma and obsecrating the sanctity of TTD. •    The utmost respect Lord Venkateswara, enormous faith in his powers, and immense confidence in the history of TTD prevented me to react and create needless dialogue among the devotees. •    Hundreds of our friends call and expressed their astonishment at the post by TTD Chairman. •    Some of our closest friends and confidants tried to reach Sri B R Naidu to talk about the great work GHHF is doing for the last 19 years on the ground level and request him to remove the post. So far, we have not been successful. •    Now I am in Tirupati and request a person-to-person meeting to resolve the issue. •    We all realize TTD is larger, greater and bigger than any official.  If we fail to get an appointment, as President of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, I have an obligation to take appropriate steps to address the matter. It is my dharma to address the false accusation, and baseless statements. •    We will give 48 hours to respond to our official letter to withdraw post. We will take the necessary legal action against B R Naidu. •    We have already consulted the advocates who are ready to file an appropriate case.   GHHF is very appreciative of your understanding. We will pursue all avenues to resolve the matter. But we will not idle if the sanctity of TTD compromised.  Prakasarao Velagapudi PhD President, GHHF Thank you.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been advocating the importance of Declaring Tirumala, Tirupati and Tirumala as PUNYA KSHETRA. GHHF has written letters to this effect to Sri. Chandrababu Naidu, Sri Pawana Kalyan, Sri. B R Naidu and Dr Anil Singhal. Recent governmental decisions to give permission to build Muntaj Hotel, Lulu Mall, and Tablighi Jamaat are ruining the sanctity of thee three pilgrim centers. Further, the sanctity is even further eroded by allowing 4,000 Christians working in TTD at different departments. Also, there are more liquor shops in Tirupati than similar size cities. There are incidents of meat eating and Islamic and Christian prayers in Tirumala. It is time that all Hindus declare these cities as Punya Kshetra. The meeting details are as follows:      Date: November 29, 2025     Time: 10:00 am Place: shankara Matam, Uttara Maada Veedhi, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanoor are considered holy or "Punya Kshetra" due to their deep spiritual significance as the abodes of deities, specifically Lord Venkateswara in Tirumala and his consort Goddess Padmavathi in Tiruchanoor. The locations are revered for their historical, mythological, and religious importance, drawing millions of pilgrims who seek blessings from the gods at these sacred sites.  •    Tirumala: This location is home to the Sri Venkateswara Temple, where Lord Venkateswara is believed to have made his abode. The temple is central to the pilgrimage for devotees. •    Tiruchanoor: Located near Tirupati, this is the abode of Goddess Padmavathi, the consort of Lord Venkateswara. It is considered auspicious to visit the Goddess first, before visiting Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala. •    Tirupati: The city of Tirupati is the gateway to the temples and also has its own significant temples, such as the Sri Govindaraja Swamy Temple. The city is an integral part of the pilgrimage experience. These three cities should be considered as "Punya Kshetra" or holy place because it is believed to be the dwelling place of these revered deities, and pilgrims come to this area to perform rituals and seek blessings.  REQUESTING YOU TO ATTEND OR ENCOURAGE YOUR FRIENDS TO ATTEND THE MEETING & SHOW YOUR SUPPORT. call 601-918-7111; +91 83096 43979  

On November 22, we had the privilege of visiting the historical Adhya Subramanya Swamy temple in Nagala Madugula village in Tumkur District, Karnataka. Rajesh Thunuguntla, karimulla and I reached about 6:00pm. One of our Priest Pracharak and Temple authorities received us at the entrance. Sri Gopi chary of GHHF grew up here learning Vedas. Sri Bhagiratha Sharma of the Temple explained the significance of the Temple. We were honored with shawls. We had opportunity to address the devotees of the Temple. The history of the Nagalamadike Temple in Pavagadh, Tumkur district, Karnataka, is rooted in a legend involving a devotee named Annabhatta and the discovery of a seven-headed serpent idol on the banks of the River Pinakini. Annabhatta found the idol after a dream instructed him to do so, which is why the place was named Nagalamadaka, meaning "ploughing for snakes". Lord Rama is also said to have stayed at this location. The temple is known as "Anthya Subramanya" and is considered a holy site for devotees of Lord Subramanya.  The origin of the name: The name "Nagalamadike" comes from a legend where a devotee named Annabhatta discovered a seven-headed snake idol on the banks of the River Pinakini. The discovery: The idol was found after Annabhatta had a dream that instructed him to search for it. He subsequently found it by ploughing a field. The meaning of the name: "Nagalamadaka" is a combination of two words: 'Nagalu' (snake) and 'Madaka' (plough), and later became Nagalamadike in Kannada. Connection to Lord Rama: According to legends, Lord Rama is said to have stayed at Nagalamadike along with his brother Lakshmana. Religious significance: Nagalamadike is one of three significant temples for Lord Subramanya, with the others being Kukke ("Adhi Subramanya") and Ghati ("Madhya Subramanya"). Nagalamadike is known as "Anthya Subramanya. Around 8:00pm, we proceed to Kalyandurg where we planned a number events. Kai Shri Ram {{album_1490}}
