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}}

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.

I reached Bangalore on 13th night and stayed with one of our friends place for two days. I attended a Puja and a Home our friend has arranged on Thursday where his son and two of his classmates performed the Homa. It was gratifying to see our youngsters showing interest and knowing the significance of performing Homa. I had an opportunity to meet several people I had met before. Then Venu Garu, who is coordinating all our legal issues, arranged a conference call with Devanjan Bose who was passionate about protecting Sanatana Dharma. Even though he was a banker, he developed interest in legal profession and acquired enough knowledge to address issues related the management of Hindu Temples. He claims that he was a “Banker by Profession, Political Analyst by Passion, Saffron by Heart and RSS is my Blood!” Sri Devanjan Bose introduced to me Col. Manoj Kumar Sinha who came to our place and met for one hour discussing about the strength of the youth and how to motivate them. Sinha was the Indian army veteran officer. His father was also in the Indian Armed Forces. Lt. Col. M K Sinha is a battle injured soldier (he shot from jaw to neck). People also know him for his inspirational writing, speaking and videos. He is also a motivational speaker. I came to New Delhi and met Devanjan Bose in person who arranged a taxi from the airport and received me at the hotel. Then both went to Bharat Mantapam and attended briefly Dr Malhotra’s evet, and the one of the Sants meeting with more than 400 saints attending. Unexpectedly, we met His Holiness Devakinandan Thakurji at the event and chatted for a few minutes and his book on Freeing the Temples and how to manage them. On Sunday and Monday we scheduled few meetings with learned people and people with legal background who are interested in protecting Sanatana Dharma and discuss about the logistics of managing Hindu Temples when they are freed from illegal control of Hindu Temples by the government.

A bulldozer, several trucks filled with people, government vehicles, a DSP, three Police Station CIs, police personnel, and additional police forces arrived at a location in Guntur. Do you think this was the government machinery that arrived to solve a recent bomb blast case in Delhi? No, not at all. All of them came to demolish a temple. Indeed, Guntur Municipal authorities work with an unparalleled zeal when it comes to demolishing Hindu temples or conducting anti-Hindu activities. The reason is that a large majority of the staff in the municipality are anti-Hindu Dharma elements. They conveniently overlook the illegally constructed church right next to the temple, and they fail to see the massive mosque being constructed without any permissions just a short distance away. This is because their eyes are completely blinded by Hindu hatred. Local Hindus in RTC Colony, Gandhi Nagar, 5th Line, Guntur city, Andhra Pradesh, recently constructed a new Shiva Temple. The land where the temple was built is private land, but since the owners were absent, the locals have been building houses and residing in the area for many years; land transactions are also taking place there. The plot where the temple was planned was also purchased by Gurrala Kishore and his brothers from others, spending lakhs of rupees. If they had built a house like everyone else, no one might have cared, but the problem started when they had the idea of building a temple. Some locals were opposed to the temple construction there, leading them to file complaints with the Municipality and issue threats through local leaders. Despite this, the Hindus there were undeterred and began performing pujas after constructing a small temple to the best of their ability. A few weeks ago, some miscreants, acting like thieves, came when no one was around and knocked down the temple's compound wall. They fled before the devotees could arrive after hearing the news. Now, a large battalion has arrived to demolish the temple. The majority of those who arrived, claiming to be Municipal staff, were non-Hindus. They behaved very disrespectfully with the devotees who came to protect the temple. The most outrageous part was that some of them went to the extent of threatening the devotees, saying, "We are MLA Nazir Ahmed's people." A Muslim individual treated the devotees wearing the Ayyappa Mala very vilely. Although they tried to provoke the devotees, the devotees maintained restraint and temporarily saved the temple. The temple was primarily saved due to the initiative shown by local leaders such as Yadla Nagamalleswara Rao Garu and Kanchibhotla Harshavardhana Shastri Garu, and the struggle of the local devotees. However, the average Hindu is unable to understand how long they have to fight to protect their temples. We also extend special thanks to the police personnel because they performed their duty with complete restraint, preventing any tense situation. Our question to the Guntur Municipal staff, who are citing "illegal constructions," is why they are not seeing the dozens of illegal non-Hindu structures constructed in the same area. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) also played a key role in the struggle to save this temple and will continue to stand in support of the temple in the future. We earnestly appeal to every Hindu to wake up from their deep slumber and stand up for the protection of Hindu Dharma, because this problem is not just Guntur's but a challenge faced by temples in every region.  Your donations are appreciated.
