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.

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}}

I met sri Siva Swamy  about 17 years ago along with sri Kamalananda Bharati. It was night when we both walked on the banks of Krishna River to reach his Ashram. At that late he prepared meals and served the meals. On November 19, Rajesh Thunuguntla and I went to see him. Ashram has grown immensely. So many devotees are attending a number of religious activities. A number of couple were attending homas. Some are attending Devi Temple while some Lord Shiva. Some of the devotees were playing Kolatam. Then we met him personally and talked about our mutual interests. He appreciated our activities at the ground level. He said we support all our activities. He told Rajesh to call whenever arises. “Sri Sri Sri Siva Swami is the founder of the SRI SAIVA KSHETRAMU, located in the banks of Holy river Krishna, Guntur district, Andhra Pradesh. The mission of sri siva swami is to serve hinduism and protect Aarsha Dharma. Sri siva swami is a pure brahmachari and Sadachari. The Soul of his soul, the Life of his life, the Mind of his mind, the Ear of his ears, Light of all lights, Sun of whole suns, is none other than LORD PARAMA SHIVA, this is what siva swami believes in and follows on.” {{album_1489}}

Nathuram Vinayak Godse was born on 19 May 1910 in Baramati, Maharashtra, to Vinayak Vamanrao Godse and Limma Godse. He was a staunch advocate of a strong, unified Hindu religious state (Akhand Bharat) across India. After the partition of the country in 1947, it is estimated that over 2 million people died in the riots. He was deeply disturbed by this great loss, and the compromise that had been made on Hinduism. Nathuram Godse had great respect for Mahatma Gandhi. However, he strongly opposed Gandhi's role in the partition of the country, in favor of the Nehru government and especially Pakistan. He attributed this development to his strong conviction that no individual or leader was above the interests of the country. In the face of the damage being done to his political ideals and the integrity of the country, he took the extreme decision to assassinate Mahatma Gandhi on 30 January 1948. He was subsequently arrested and tried in court. In his statement, he explained that political reasons such as partition and financial support to Pakistan were the main motives behind his action. Accepting the legal punishment for his actions, Nathuram Godse died by hanging in Ambala Jail on 15 November 1949. His intention was to protect Bharat instead of giving favors to Pakistan. Gandi even threated Nehru that he would leave Indi and live in Pakistan if India dis not meet the demands of Pakistan. In the court, he said that “it was my first duty to serve Hindudom and Hindus both as a patriot and as a world citizen. To secure the freedom and to safeguard the just interests of some thirty crores (300 million) of Hindus would automatically constitute the freedom and the well being of all India, one fifth of human race. This conviction led me naturally to devote myself to the Hindu Sanghtanist ideology and programme, which alone, I came to believe, could win and preserve the national independence of Hindustan, my Motherland, and enable her to render true service to humanity as well.” “Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation. But if that is so, he had failed his paternal duty in as much as he has acted very treacherously to the nation by his consenting to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan. His inner-voice, his spiritual power and his doctrine of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled before Jinnah's iron will and proved to be powerless.” Before his death, he made a great resolution: Our religion says that Hindus should immerse their ashes in rivers after their deaths for better fortune. But, to keep his patriotic feelings alive, he told his family not to immerse his ashes until Akhand Bharat is achieved and the Indus River flows under the Indian flag. The great resolution to sacrifice even these good fortunes is a testament to his commitment to the nation. His ashes are still safe in Pune. Teacher Tasks Discussion after the story: Although Nathuram Godse respected Mahatma Gandhi personally, what decision did he make for the interests of the country? (Discussion on the topic that no one is above the country.) What was his resolve to abandon the religious concept of achieving a better life by immersing himself in idols? (Discussion on the topic of personal sacrifice for the ideal of an all-India nation.) What did he want to say to the people by explaining the political reasons for his action in court? Expression Map of India: Children should try to draw a map of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Flag of Commitment: Prepare a flag that conveys the slogan that the interests of the country in which they believe are supreme. Practical Activity Stand up for what is right and good for the country: This week, they should try to stand up for something that they believe is right and good for the country. Historical Knowledge: Try to collect more information about the partition of the country or about India. Your donations are appreciated.

On November 16, I accompanied Sri Devanjan Bose, one of the great souls to see the living conditions of Pakistani Hindu refugees living in Adarsha Puri area where about 3000 Hindus are living. It is very difficult to see their living conditions. Some of them came about 15 years ago while others slowly came over the years. They came in different. Some of them came this year. Conditions of Living quarters look very different. In Delhi, there are seven such camps located at different locations.  While exact, real-time figures are difficult to obtain, it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of Pakistani Hindus currently reside in India, many as long-term refugees awaiting or having recently received citizenship.  Devanjan Bose, President, International Satvik and Sanatan Foundation (ISSF) has prepared a very thorough and practical proposal to restore their lives  and regain their pride. The mission of ISSF is to work toward getting citizenship to these refugees, build a school for the children, build houses, provide health care facilities, and basic amenities.     ISSF is planning a thorough study to find out the demographic information to plan for future activities. Devanjan is planning to approach Federal government and Delhi government to find out what kind of opportunities are available for these refugees and apply to provide basic amenities. NEED HELP      One has to see the conditions they are living in. Nobody can really grasp their situation unless one can visit these Refugee camps. Whatever help you can provide, they would appreciate it immensely.      It is estimated that as many as 600,000 Pakistani Hindus are residing in India. Pakistani Hindu refugees are largely settled in states such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, Delhi, Punjab, and Haryana. There are about 400 Pakistani Hindu refugee settlements across various cities in these regions. •    Challenges: Refugees often face difficulties in obtaining essential services, such as proper housing, education for children, and job opportunities, due to a lack of formal identity documents.  Your donations are appreciated.

Lala Lajpati Rai was born on January 28, 1865 and died on November 17, 1928. He was a keen student from his childhood. Although his father was a teacher, he was attracted to the teachings of Arya Samaj, especially the national outlook it preached. Although he established himself as a great leader, he founded the 'Servants of People's Society' for social service. Multifaceted Talent – Reform, Swadeshi: Lalaji was not just a politician, but a great intellectual, writer, reformer and a builder of charitable works. Reform: During the famine, he started the Hindu Relief Movement to save helpless Indians from the clutches of the Kestava missionaries. Swadeshi & Education: He played a key role in the Swadeshi movement during the Bengal Partition Movement. He founded the National College in Lahore, where Bhagat Singh studied. Vision: He foresaw the historical issue of the partition of India that took place in the later period and guided the leaders of that time. The roar of the Punjab lion – a miraculous martyrdom: Lalaji became famous as one of the Lal-Bal-Pal trio. In 1928, a peaceful protest was held in Lahore against the Simon Commission, which was ordered by the British government. The Superintendent of Police James A. Socket ordered the lathicharge on the silent protesters. The lathicharge on Lalaji's chest was very severe. Lalaji, who was ready to die with his wounds, made this great statement as a visionary: "Today, the lathicharge on my heart will be the last nail in the coffin of British society. I may die, but from every drop of blood that flows from me, millions of freedom fighters will emerge". This is true. He died on 17 November 1928 due to serious injuries. After his death, the freedom movement spread further. His call touched the hearts of the people of the country and intensified the struggle of heroes like Bhagat Singh and Chandrashekhar Azad. The freedom of this country is the result of the struggle and sacrifice of all these heroes. Humanism: He was primarily a humanist. "If I had the power to rule the Indian newspapers, I would say that these three headlines should be on the front page: Milk for the children, food for the elders, and education for all," he said. Lalaji's life is a strong answer to the question of whether it is possible for extraordinary things to emerge from ordinary families. Teacher Tasks Discussion after the story: (Analysis) How did Lalaji's life prove that it is possible for 'commoners to become commoners'? (Diligence in studying, selfless service, Standing for ideals.) How did Lalaji earn the title 'Punjab Kesari'? (Courage, leadership.) What was the message of Lalaji's last words? (His martyrdom is said to be the beginning of the end of British rule. Discussion on the issue of working towards solving cultural problems with the image of freedom fighters.) Expression of emotions (Creativity) Humanitarian poster: Lalaji's humanitarian point of view should be illustrated by drawing a poster with the slogan "Milk for children, food for adults, education for all" with dolls or letters. Future vision: Children should recite the phrase "From every drop of blood that emanates from me, millions of freedom fighters will emerge"together. Practical Action (Implementation) Social Responsibility: In the spirit of Lalaji, this week, think about a social problem around you (e.g. lack of sanitation, lack of access to healthcare) and make a small effort to solve it. Selfless Service: Like Lalaji, who gave up profit for social service, this week, selflessly help others. Your donations are appreciated.
