[GHHF] Amazing Hindu Temples that defy science, and logic; Sanatana Dharma classes started in Frisco Texas

Global Hindu Heritage Foundations and Dharma Jagruti Foundation started for youth and adults to teach about the richness and grandeur of Sanatan Dharma to equip them with enough knowledge to be proud of their culture.  Thes classes started on May 25th and will continue for the next couple of months. Over the last eight weeks we talked about Santana Dharma, the architectural wonders of Hindu Temples, the traditions and customs practiced in Hindu Temples, comparing Hindu Temples to the human body, the significance of rituals practiced in Hindu Temples, the significance of the Murti worship, the difference between monotheism and polytheism, the dangers of monotheism and the importance of spirituality. Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi started his religious and spiritual journey nearly four decades ago and continued to champion the cause of Sanatan Dharma for peace, tolerance, patience, science and logic.  This week we talked About the mysterious Temples that defy science and logic. Many of these Temples were built thousands of years back with no modern technology, tools and materials. The mystery of these Temples will give challenge your mind, intelligence and reason. They will give you goosebumps.  And make you dumb. They will shock you with their mysteries and make you wonder. The more you know about these miraculous Temple more you will be excited and thrilled. Here are few Hindu Temples. 1)    Veerabhadra Swamy Temple in Lepakshi in Andhra Pradesh. There are about 70 pillars. One of the pillars will be hanging without touching the floor. One can swipe a piece of cloth or paper mid air that separated ground and pillar. As a matter of fact, a curious British Engineer tried to figure out the secret of its support, consequently dislodging it a bit. Some believe that the entire complex stands on the pillar. 2)    Kailash Temple in Ellora Caves in Maharashtra. The temple is built on an amazingly carved mountain with intricate details. Kailasa Temple is the largest rock-cut Hindu temple in 16th-century Ellora Caves. This temple will give you a reason to enhance your knowledge of Indian mythology like never before. The structure of Kailasa Temple is monolith which means this cave temple is built on a single rock. The carvers started at the very top of the cliff and worked their way downwards, cutting away massive amounts of rock around the planned temple structure. This technique, called vertical excavation, is rarely seen in other ancient structures of this scale.  This technique, called vertical excavation, is rarely seen in other ancient structures of this scale.  3)    Sri Suryanarayana Swamy temple at Arasavalli, Andhra Pradesh: In this Temple, the sun's rays fall on the feet of the deity twice a year, during the Uttarayanam (March 9-11) and Dakshinayanam (October 1-3) periods. This phenomenon occurs because of the temple's unique architectural design, which allows the sun's rays to directly illuminate the idol's feet during these specific times. The event is a significant draw for devotees who visit the temple to witness this rare and auspicious sight, according to the Times of India.  4)    Balaji Temple in Karnataka: The miracle: One of the most awe-worthy things at the temple is the fact that when hot water Abhishekam is performed, the head remains hot, but the feet of the idol are cold. That is, when the priest or the devotee pour hot, boiling water over the idol, once the water reaches the deity’s feet it is cold as ice. But it is also noteworthy that while the feet and the water near the feet turn cold, the head of the idol is still hot to touch.   Adding to the mystery of the deity and the idol is the story that when water is poured directly from the navel of the idol, it remains hot when touched, and it is only when the water is poured over his head, does it turn cold when reaching his feet. 5)    Puri Jagannath Temple, Orissa. The temple hosts the biggest mega kitchen in the world. The most mysterious fact about the temple is that the food in this temple is always cooked by stacking pots one over the another and the topmost pot always gets cooked first. The flag always flaps in a direction opposite to the direction in which the wind is blowing. Gaze from any place in Puri, and you will always find the Sudarshan Charka (charka at the top of the temple) always facing you. In the temple kitchen, seven pots are kept on top of each other and cooked on firewood. In this process, the contents of the top pot get cooked first, lastly, the bottommost one! On entering from Singhadwara, as one takes the first step inside the Temple, you can’t hear any sound produced by the ocean. But when you cross the same step outside the Temple, you can hear it. 6)    Umamheswara Temple, Yaganti near Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. Nandi Statue grows in size. The devotees believe that the Nandi idol in front of Umamaheswara Temple in Yaganti in Kurnool is continuously increasing its size. The locals say that the idol was initially much smaller than its present size. They say that certain experimentation was carried out on this idol, and it was said that the type of rock out of which the idol is carved has a growing or enlarging nature associated with it. Archaeological Survey of India has confirmed that the idol increases by 1 inch in every 20 years. Experiment suggests that the rock used to make the idol exhibits a growing nature. It is said that people used to do Pradakshinas (rounds) around it in the past. The temple staff has already removed one pillar as the size of the Nandi has increased. 7)    Panakala Narasimha Swamy, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh. The Narasimha here is offered Panakala (Jaggery water) which is poured directly into the mouth of the deity by a conch. One can hear a gargling sound as the jaggery water is offered which becomes high pitched, then lowers. The temple’s unique offering of “panakam,” a sweet drink made with jaggery water, cardamom, and spices, holds deep symbolic significance. It is believed to represent the quenching of Lord Narasimha’s thirst and anger, symbolizing the pacification of negative forces and the restoration of balance. Devotees offer panakam with devotion, seeking the Lord’s protection from evil and the bestowal of inner peace. 8)    Kamakhya Devi Temple: Guwahati, Assam. The temple has no sculptures to worship, and the Goddess in every monsoon menstruates. Perched on Nilachal Hill in Guwahati, this Shakti Peetha isn’t your typical temple—no idol here, just a yoni-shaped stone that’s said to bleed. Every June, during the Ambubachi Mela, the temple shuts for three days as the goddess “menstruates,” turning an underground spring red. Locals swear it’s divine; skeptics hunt for answers. Tantric vibes and black magic rumors swirl—legend ties it to Sati’s womb falling here after Shiva’s cosmic meltdown. It’s raw, sacred, and downright eerie, drawing crowds who celebrate womanhood in a way that’s rare even in India. 9)    The Musical Pillars of the Vittala Temple in Hampi, Karataka. One of the notable features of the Vittala Temple is the musical pillars. The large Ranga Mandapa is well known for its 56 musical pillars. These pillars are also known as SaReGaMa pillars, which are attributed to the musical notes emerging out of them. The pillars produce musical tones when struck with a thumb. It sounds like bells ringing. Each pillar provides support to the ceiling of the mandapa, and the main pillars are designed in the manner of musical instruments. Every main pillar is wrapped by 7 minor pillars and these minor pillars emit different musical notes. In summary, in addition to these mysterious Temples, we talked about Brihadeswara Temple in Tamil Nadu, Chaya Someswara Temple in Telangana, Subramanya Swamy Temple in Kerla, Angkor Wat Temple in Cambodia, and others.

[GHHF] Empowering Dharmic Service with Economic Stability: A New Life for Shivakrishna with GHHF

Sri Shivakrishna, from a very poor tribal Hindu family in Tantikonda village, Rajavommangi Mandal, Alluri Seetharama Raju District, is a true Hindu activist who actively participates in many Dharmic programs. However, due to financial difficulties, he was unable to work effectively at the ground level. Shivakrishna's family was also suffering severe financial hardships. Observing this situation, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) came forward with the intention of helping Shivakrishna's family stand on their own feet. After asking Shivakrishna what business he could do, and considering that it is an agency village, GHHF purchased a pushcart from a nearby city, brought it, painted it beautifully, and helped him start a vegetable business. Not only that, but GHHF also purchased the initial stock (vegetables) needed to start the business, providing them with complete support. This entire program was successfully supervised and completed by Sri Thota Ramakrishna, GHHF In-charge for North Andhra and Godavari districts. Our congratulations to him. GHHF strongly believes that Hindus can work more effectively at the ground level only when they are strong not just spiritually, but also economically. GHHF considers providing financial security to Hindu activists, meaning helping them stand on their own feet, as a great Dharmic service. There are many Hindu activists in society who are looking for such a small push. If we extend a helping hand and strengthen them, they will be able to participate in Dharmic programs with even greater joy and enthusiasm. The assistance provided to Shivakrishna is not just a pushcart; it is a new beginning for his future and for his Dharmic service.   Your donations are appreciated.

[GHHF] J. Annavaram - Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's (GHHF) Dharmic Fight Against Conversions

J. Annavaram, a village bordering the agency area in Yeleswaram Mandal, Kakinada District, is facing severe challenges from religious conversions . It is alarming that in this village of 1300 families, nearly 500 families have undergone religious conversion. Symbolizing these conversions, 8 illegally constructed churches stand in the village. Among the 300 Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) families living in J. Annavaram, only 40 ST families and 5 SC families remain Hindu, clearly indicating the gravity of the situation. Religious conversions are not only a numerical issue but also disrupt social unity, creating a sensitive atmosphere in the village. The Hindu community here is in a dire situation, needing to strive hard to protect its identity and culture. It is in such a complex and challenging environment that the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has stepped in to wage a Dharmic fight. We are continuously working to protect Hindu Dharma, prevent religious conversions, and bring awareness to the Hindu community. The activities in J. Annavaram village are being led by Sri Ramakrishna, a GHHF activist and in-charge for North Andhra and Godavari districts. GHHF activists are thoroughly understanding the local conditions and the challenges faced, and are pursuing legal action against the illegally constructed churches. This legal battle is not just for a legal victory but also contributes to preventing the recurrence of such incidents in the future. Furthermore, through this initiative, the organization is educating local Hindu youth about their Dharma and culture. By awakening the youth, we are fostering self-confidence and commitment towards Dharma protection, thereby passing on the responsibility of preserving Hindu Dharma to future generations. This initiative undertaken by GHHF in J. Annavaram serves as an inspiring example for other regions affected by religious conversions. GHHF strongly asserts through these actions that even in adverse circumstances, by standing firm and fighting legally and righteously, the Hindu community can protect its identity. The environment in which the organization works often involves severe resistance, misconceptions, and criticism from certain sections. Nevertheless, GHHF continues its selfless activities with the primary goal of preserving Hindu Dharma. With all your cooperation, we can successfully conduct many more such programs across the country and further strengthen Hindu Dharma.  Your donations are appreciated: By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Your reactions to article on “Cancellation of Lulu Mall in Tirupati” are commendable. Your overwhelming support gives us more strength, courage and confidence to protect TTD.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation published this article several groups, Facebook, LinkedIn and our website – Savetemples.org. We also sent several thousand emails also. This article is written requesting Sri Chandrababu Naidu to Cancel the Lulu Mall to protect the sanctity of Tirumala and Tirupati. We selected some of these comments and put the initials next to their comments. Comments from Readers The sacred hills of Tirumala are not just geography — they are living, breathing sanctuaries of divine presence. Whether it is a Lulu Mall owned by Muslim, a hotel, or any commercial venture, no such activity should be allowed within the Divya Kshetra — regardless of the religion or identity of the builder. This is about preserving dharma, not promoting division. (SB) Dire need of government intervention here. There have been several cases reported against Lulu Mall. There are so many people reporting against these petty conversion strategies adopted by such companies. Hindutva calls for unity and we stand strongest against any such nonsense taking shape around us. No more secular bullshit required. We will never compromise with our core values. (RKB) I fully endorse Mr. Prakash Velagapudi’s views as entry to such a chain of supermarket operators is entertained in the temple town, there's bound to be a concentration of a particular community. With no offense to any community such concentration can pave way for denting sanctity and beliefs of the devotees visiting the temple. (RBK) Is this some sort of a like a future strategic master plan for the future, building huge malls of strategic importance & location specific.? (SS) No malls near temples. Places will be dirtied by our own people who have less civic sense. (SSB) True Concern raised. Tirupathi is not a amusement place. (VKA) Lord Vishnu or Balaji won't do anything until the right time don't expect much from the minister who formed the govt through elections….  The judiciary is a joke and big hypocrite in India. In this world good, hardworking & values don't even get a job, and you are asking for society benefits. Great people fight back, or died and remaining suffering and it will continue. All the Best. (SR) Save Tirupati from Demographic change. The article is very logical and well-articulated. (AK) I fully support the plea. Our temples must not be commercialized and the sanctity of our places of worship must be preserved. (RJ) Avoid all malls not just lulu as it is a religious place already crowded. No construction around 10 km from temple premises. (AKA) What Sri Pavan Kalyan Garu is doing then, he could have discussed it with CM Garu, if this happens, then questions will rise that Both TDP and Jana sena were acting only for the sake of Votes. Not for the sake of culture that needs immediate attention, especially Tirupati. Request Both the Deputy CM and CM Garu to have a deep look on the issue prevailing, which will pave the way unrest in us. (RRD) Please don't make the World’s Best Devotional Place into a commercial place. Requesting Hindus to oppose this proposal unitedly. Respected PM sir and AP CM and Deputy CM sirs, please stop this proposal. Shift the Mall into another place in AP. (VKA) This doesn't make sense, why a mall in Tirupati. Unimaginable... (RKG) Very true pilgrimage needs to have it's sanctity (MB) Hindus unity is very much required in Bharat, a Hindu Rashtra, enough of minorities appeasement. (MGK) How can we prevent the business peoples mall, and others, from coming from foreign countries, like Lulu, Amazon, Wal-Mart etc. what should we do. Old invaders are coming in new form as businessmen. (SPRR) Yes. We need not have a mall in Tirupati! How did Dy CM not stop it and why did Naidu Garu permit it? (MN) We are not opposing development and innovative thoughts. We are welcoming Malls too. Our concern is please don't make the World’s Best Devotional Place into a commercial place. Requesting Hindus to oppose this proposal unitedly. Respected PM sir and AP CM and Deputy CM sirs, please stop this proposal. Shift the Mall into another place in AP. (VKA) Do not disturb the Sanctity of thousands of years old Hindu cities & religious places (YS) Do not handhold sir, time to wake up and take immediate action. else we will lose everything (KR) If there are Azaan echoes in Tirupathi, it can spread to foothills later and ignorant seculars think it’s no harm till the deluge sets in. (SV) All Hindus pls unite. We are losing ground (USS) Echo that strongly; otherwise Tirupati will lose its sacrosanctity. Very sad to see CBN allowing it (RB) I agree Agree Agree 1001% Wake up We must unite. True concern raised Fully agreed It is not an amusement place (JD) Should be removed from all over India (RS) Not required in Tirupati (SK) Thanks for the post (VS) Donations are welcome: •    Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com •    PayPal: savetemples.org •    Check: Payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035 •    Rupees: Call 601-918-7111 or +91 83096 43979 All donations are tax-deductible.

[GHHF] Students learned the importance of working selflessly by controlling karmendriyas and Jnanedriyas.

In a village, there was a boy named Aryan. Aryan was an average student. That is, like all other children, he did not get everything right away. But he never stopped trying. No matter how complex or tedious a task was, he would control his mind and work hard to improve. That is why he was an inspiration to everyone. There was another boy named Kutil in Aryan's classroom. Kutil was always lazy and only thought about his selfishness. When projects were given in school, he spent more time watching TV and playing video games than reading books. One day, their teacher gave them a big project on the topic of "Keeping our surroundings clean". As part of it, they had to clean the garbage in their school garden and plant new plants. Kutil was not interested. Instead of working selflessly, he played video games at home and engaged in idle conversation with friends. Kutil went into the garden, but without working for even two minutes, and started playing with his friends. He listened to what his mind told him and went where his senses pulled him. But Aryan was not like that. When the teacher told him about the project, he listened attentively. "This work is for our school, for us. We must do it well," he thought to himself. Aryan also liked games, but he kept his mind in check. After that, Aryan put his working limbs to use: his hands picked up the garbage, dug into the mud, and continued working even when he was tired. His legs carried the plants and raked the soil. His mouth did not utter unnecessary words, but occasionally spoke good words, and he enjoyed his work. He completed his duty selflessly, not for praise or rewards, but simply with the desire to do the job right. He behaved like a true karma yogi. The teacher and the other children were amazed at what Aryan had done. Kutil hung his head in shame. The teacher praised Aryan and said, "Aryan, you are a true Karma Yogi! You have completed your work without just boasting, keeping your mind and senses under control, and without expecting any result. As it is said in the Bhagavad Gita: “Whereas, O Arjuna, the one who controls the senses organs with the mind, remaining unattached, takes to karma yoga of action (i.e., action performed with yoga buddhi) with the organs of action is superior.’ (3:7) The teacher praised Aryan and continued, "Children, if we want to do good deeds, we must first control our senses. We must be careful not to see unnecessary things with our eyes, not to hear unnecessary things with our ears, and not to speak lies or bad words with our mouths. Similarly, we must control our hands from doing bad things and our feet from going to bad places. If we focus our minds and senses on good things and good deeds, we will not have unnecessary desires or anger. We will be able to do our work well. Then our lives will be happy and successful like Aryan." From that day on, all the children, including Kutil, looked up to Aryan as their role model. They learned to control their minds and senses and do good deeds selflessly.

[GHHF] Is it possible that 4,400 Christians are working at TTD? Why are no measures taken to identify Concealed Christians?

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has written several letters to the TTD Board Chairman, TTD Executive Officers, Endowment Department Commissioners, the Minister for Endowments, Chief Ministers, and other officials over the past 18 years. We met in person with the then Chief Minister, Sri Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, in Chicago in 2007, with Sri Karunakar Reddy in 2007, and with Sri Chandrababu Naidu in 2008, accompanied by Dr. Subramanian Swamy. GHHF invited Sri C Ramachandraiah, the then Minister for Endowments to Dallas, Texas and had a marathon conference for six hours to discuss all about our concerns about TTD in 2012; met Sri Chadalavada Krishna Murthy, the Board Chairman in Fisco Texas in 2015; met Sri Manikyala Rao, the then Minister for Endowments in 2016 and 2017;  Sr S V Subba Reddy, TTD Board Chairman in Frisco Texas in 2019; Sri Anil Kumar Singhal on December 23 in 2019; Sri Velampalli Srinivas, the then Endowment Minister in 2020; and other Endowments officials to talk about several issues, particularly about the presence of Christians working at TTD. In fact, at the request of late Sri P V RK Prasad Garu, Prasad Yalamanchi and I attended Dharmika Sadas twice and submitted an article on Rampant Christian Conversions. In all our meetings with these officials and the several letters we have submitted to TTD officials, the theme of GHHF remains the same. Approximately 20 percent of Christians work at TTD. We requested each time that they identify Christians working at TTD and remove them. Not a single official we mentioned above ever disputed our claim that 20 percent of the employees of TTD are Christians, and they should identify and remove them. L. V. Subramanyam, the then Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh, the present Chief Minister, Sri Chandrababu Naidu, TTD Board Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu, and Executive Officer Sri J. Shyamala Rao openly stated that only Hindus should work at TTD. They asked all non-Hindus to transfer to other departments on a voluntary basis. Nothing worked.  TTD has identified approximately 18, or possibly a few more, in the last three months and suspended them. That is not even one percent of the suspected Christians working at TTD. CONTROVERSY OVER THE NUMBER OF Non-Hindus WORKING AT TTD •         On July 10, Sri Bandi Sanja Kumar, Minister of State for Home Affairs, alleged that 1,000 non-Hindus are working at TTD without having faith in Lord Venkateswara or adhering to Sanatana Dharma. He called for an immediate probe to identify and remove non-Hindu employees from TTD. He further stated that his demand was not a request, but a firm stance. He requested Sri B R Naidu to ensure that only Hindus are employed. •         Sri Bhuma Reddy, ex-Chairman, strongly criticized Bandi Sanjay’s claim that TTD employed over 1,000 non-Hindus. But he never mentioned how many Christians are working at TTD. He was there for about two years, but he did not know how many Christians were working. •         Sri Bhanu Prakash Reddy, the present Member of TTD Board defending the Minister, went further, saying that the number of non-Hindus working at TTD might exceed 1,000.  He said, “While some staff may carry Hindu names, symbols of other faiths are visible in their homes, and called for a house-to-house verification survey. NO SERIOUS EFFORT WAS MADE BY TTD TO IDENTIFY CONCEALED CHRISTIANS. Every Chief Minister, TTD Board Chairman, and executive officer knows fully well that thousands of Christians work at TTD. It is not politically palatable for government officials to conduct a thorough investigation. For nearly 15 years Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is saying that as many as 20 percent of TTD employees are Christians hurting the sentiments of Hindus, vitiating the sanctity of Balaji Temple, demeaning our Gods, making fun of Hindus worshipping different Gods and so.  Nobody wants to bell the cat. Put it roughly, that nobody has the guts, commitment, will, determination, passion, and courage to investigate or take steps to identify non-Hindus. How Many Employees are working at TTD? TTD Board member Sri Bhanu Prakash Reddy said, “There are 22,000 employees, including contract, outsourced, and regular, many of whom are still practicing other religious faiths in their homes. I myself asked the management to take up a door-to-door survey to find out those TTD employees following other religion during TTD board meetings,” he said. GHHF Suspects 4,400 Christians working at TTD  GHHF has written several letters stating that approximately 20 percent of the employees at TTD are non-Hindus. Not a single official ever disputed our number over the last ten years.  That means 20 percent of 22,000 employees is 4,400. That is the number of people working at TTD.  These are the people who took an oath either in front of the Balaji Vigraha or held a picture of Lord Venkateswara, saying that they have faith in Balaji and adhere to the Sanatana Dharma. If the percentage we suggested was so wrong, do we all expect them to remain silent without contradicting our numbers? All these officials know that the 4,400 number was correct, but do not want to admit it. By keeping them in TTD without removing, we are rewarding the liars, cheaters, deceivers, and haters of Hinduism. TTD may know how to identify them, but no action has been taken for decades. How long do we ignore the issues and spoil the sacredness of the Balaji Temple? GHHF SUGGESTED THE STEPS TO IDENTIFY CONCEALED CHRISTIANS The following are the steps TTD should take to identify concealed Christians if they are serious. 1)      All the employees should start their jobs by assembling in a designated or specially constructed building about 15 minutes before they start working 2) Apply Vishnu Tilak to each employee as they enter the room to ensure they are practicing Hindus with abiding faith in Lord Venkateswara. It can be the Urdhva Pundra Tilak to identify the faith in the Vaishnava tradition. They should always keep the Tilak if they are on duty.  3)      A priest would do a short Puja to Lord Venkateswara and recite the Ashtottaranama of Lord Venkateswara, and all the employees also chant the Govinda Namalu. Every employee should be able to chant these Namas. 4)      Following the Puja, every employee should be given Teertham to consume on the spot in front of Lord Venkateswara. We should make sure they will drink Teertham and not drop it on the floor, like the earlier Christian Minister who pretended to be drinking but dropped it on the floor in Dallas when they came in 2019. 5)      Then give Prasadam where he can eat in front of Lord Venkateswara. 6)      Every employee should do Pradakshina to Lord Venkateswara, where the puja was performed. 7) Every Employee should wear a necklace with Lord Venkateswara's image/emblem, which should be visible to everyone. 8) They should have a name Tag with their names and Balaji’s image next to them. They should always keep it if they are on duty. 9) TTD should install CC cameras to ensure that all employees follow the guidelines and practices per the traditions. 10) Any violation by an employee should be investigated to determine why they did not follow the guidelines. 11)   TTD should conduct surprise visits to the houses or Churches of the suspected employees to ensure that they are practicing Hindus working at the most sacred place on earth for Hindus. 12) Devotees who identify concealed Christians with evidence should be rewarded with large sums of money. That would be enough incentive for Hindus to keep an eye on these concealed Christians. We request TTD officials to be serious and save TTS, save Sanatana Dharma, protect the sanctity of Tirumala, protect the sentiments of Hindus, stop appeasement, and restore the grandeur of Lord Venkateshwara Temple.

[GHHF] Students celebrated Guru Purnima by touching the feet of their teachers and Parents in Assam

On the auspicious occasion of Guru Purnima Bala Samskar students of Assam touched the feet of their teachers at Bala Samskar Kendra and at their school to seek their blessings.  This month students are learning about the significance and history of Guru Purnima. Guru Purnima falls in the month of Ashadha on a very auspicious full moon day, this year on July 10, 2025.  It is considered sacred, spiritual, and holy because this day is celebrated as the birthday of the great sage Vyasa. In fact, it is also called Vyasa Purnima. Sage Vyasa is respected and revered as a Guru. His contribution to the Sanatana Dharma is monumental and immense. He classified the spiritual knowledge of the Vedas into four parts: Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and Atharva Veda. He has written eighteen Puranas, describing in great detail the creation of the universe, the stories of countless saints (sages), the code of conduct, and eternal values for the benefit of humanity. He also wrote the Mahabharata, the largest epic book known to mankind, describing the stories of the Pandavas, the Kauravas, and Lord Krishna for the benefit of humanity. Guru Purnima is the day to remember the countless blessings our countless Gurus have showered on mankind. It is my privilege and honor to discuss the concept of the Guru, the importance of the Guru, Guru Purnima, and Paduka Puja. It is customary to perform Pada Puja to the Lotus Feet of a living Sadguru on Guru Purnima.  It is indeed a rare opportunity for a disciple to participate in such a Pada Puja.  Why is to so important to perform Pada Puja?  The Guru’s Feet are worshiped because all of the Guru’s Shakti dwells in the Feet.  The vibrations of the inner self constantly flow out through the Feet.  The nerves that originate from the Sahasrara extend down to the Feet. The Feet serve as the support for the whole body. This is the reason the Feet are given so much importance.  More shakti flows from the Feet than from any other part of the body. According to all the scriptures, the Foot of the Guru is no ordinary Foot.  Gurupaddangre paadodakam ganga. All holy waters, including Mother Ganga, live in the Guru’s Feet.    All holy waters, all Devatas, or angels, and all sacred hills abide in the Guru’s Feet. One should have firm faith to behold all gods in the Guru’s Feet. The Trimurti – Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva – live in Guru’s Feet.  So, after Guru Pada Puja, it is very important to surrender yourself to the Divine Trinity along with all the bad habits and selfish ego.  This is the significance of self-surrender to the Guru’s Feet.  Especially on Guru Purnima Day, Pada Puja assumes even greater importance, as it bestows numerous blessings, peace of mind, and mental satisfaction. In the words of the Maharashtrian poet-saint, Eknath. “By the dust of my Guru’s feet, all the work was accomplished. Eknath has emerged his mind in Shri Guru’s feet… By holding the feet of the Guru, all ignorance disappeared. I have not performed cruel austerities, offered sacrifices, or wandered to sacred places. The means of all means is the feet of the Sadguru.” Your donations are appreciated: By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Microphone Sets for Temples: Spreading Devotion, Preserving Our Culture!

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mr1sEg-UIZk On behalf of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, we are continuously striving for the propagation of Hindu Dharma and the development of temples. As part of this effort, we are providing free microphone sets to temples at the request of local communities. Recently, we provided a microphone set to the Sri Ramalingeswara Swamy Temple in Madire village, Adoni Mandal, Kurnool District. Necessity and Benefits of Microphone Sets: Microphone sets for temples are not just objects; they are powerful tools for spiritual propagation. Spreading Devotion: Pujas, Harikathas, Bhajans, Pravachanams, and other spiritual programs held in temples can be heard clearly by more devotees through microphone sets. This enhances the devotional atmosphere. Supporting Discourses: Discourses and lectures given by scholars can easily reach even those far away, thereby improving the dissemination of knowledge. Cultural Heritage: Small temples in rural areas are the roots of our culture and traditions. Programs held in these temples, amplified by microphone sets, can reach more people, helping to preserve our Dharmic heritage. Social Unity: During festivals and special events, microphone sets help bring people together and foster community spirit. Your Help is Crucial! Currently, more than 20 small temples' organizers are requesting microphone sets from us. Your help is very much needed to fulfill these requests. If you come forward and donate a microphone set, it will be presented to that temple in your name. This is a great opportunity for you to participate in a divine cause and a way to honor your generosity. Our noble initiative moves forward only with your invaluable support. With the cooperation of donors, this microphone set distribution program can be extended to many more small temples in remote areas across India. Please seize this opportunity to participate in a divine cause. Even your small contribution can illuminate a temple and spread devotion to thousands of devotees.

[GHHF] Why Concealed Christians are not identified in TTD; Are we helplessly surrendering Balaji Temple to non-Hindus?

Sri J. Shymala Rao,  Executive Officer, TTD Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh Dear Sri Shyamala Rao Garu:     Subj: Resubmitting our Suggestions to identify concealed Christians. Failure to implement them is tantamount to your consent to Christianize TTD. It is shocking, surprising, and insulting to find out that one of the highest officers working at TTD is practicing Christianity under your nose. You took almost one year to find and suspend him.  On March 21, 2025, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has written a letter to Sri B R Naidu with a copy to you, suggesting several steps TTD should take to identify concealed Christians.     Your office has neither responded nor took any steps to identify concealed Christians. It is mind boggling to realize your indifference toward this issue.  Assistant Executive Officer, A Rajasekhar Babu, is practicing Christianity for years and nobody wants to do any thins until now. Why it took more than EIGHT years to identify this concealed Christian. In his capacity, can we imagine how many people working in TTD could have been converted to Christianity. Why was he not terminated from his position and take punitive action against him for working as Hindu while practicing Christianity.  He is deliberately and openly going to Church knowing fully well that non-Hindus should not be working in Hindu Temples. L V Subramanyam Grau, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu also mentioned along with others that only Hindu should work at TTD. and nobody noticed till now. Where is the Vigilance Office? What is it doing? He is taking salary from TTD treasury and stabbing the TTD and Balaji himself. With Balaji money he is working against Balaji and demeaning Balaji himself. He is doing deliberately challenging the Hindu community because Christianity teaches him to discreet and destroy Images of God and Hindus. If you do not take immediate steps to identify these Christians who may number 20 percent, you are promoting Christianity and working against Sanatana Dharma and TTD. Please appoint a Special Investigator to find out his background, frame charges, collect evidence, submit it to the culprit for his reaction and terminate him. Following are the steps GHHF suggested to identify concealed Christians working in TTD. 1)      All the employees should start their jobs by assembling in a designated or specially constructed building about 15 minutes before they start working 2)      Apply Vishnu Tilak as they enter the room to each employee to ensure they are practicing Hindus with abiding faith in Lord Venkateswara. It can be Urdhva Pundra Tilak to identify the faith in the Vaishnava tradition. They should always keep the Tilak if they are on duty.  3)      A priest would do a short Puja to Lord Venkateswara and recite Ashtottaranama of Lord Venkateswara, and all the employees also chant the Govinda Namalu. Every employee should be able to chant these Namas. 4)      Following the Puja, every employee should be given Teertham to consume on the spot in front of Lord Venkateswara. We should make sure they will drink Teertham and not drop it on the floor, like the earlier Christian Minister who pretended to be drinking but dropped it on the floor in Dallas when they came in 2019. 5)      Then give Prasadam where he can eat in front of Lord Venkateswara. 6)      Every employee should do Pradakshina to Lord Venkateswara, where the puja was performed. 7) Every Employee should wear a necklace with Lord Venkateswara's image/emblem, which should be visible to everyone. 8) They should have a name Tag with their names and Balaji’s image next to them. They should always keep it if they are on duty. 9) TTD should install CC cameras to ensure that all employees follow the guidelines and practices per the traditions. 10) Any violation by an employee should be investigated to determine why they did not follow the guidelines. 11)   TTD should conduct surprise visits to the houses or Churches of the suspected employees to ensure that they are practicing Hindus working at the most sacred place on the earth for Hindus. 12) Devotees who identify the concealed Christians with evidence should be REWARDED large sums of money. That would be enough incentive for Hindus to keep an eye on these concealed Christians. Devotees’ input about the suspected Christians should be investigated.             Encourage devotees to submit any information about suspected employees, investigate, and take appropriate punitive action against them. We would appreciate your sincere consideration to ensure that the concealed Christians are removed from the Sacred Lord Venkateswara Temple. Only committed and practicing Hindus should be employed at TTD and other Hindu Temples.

[GHHF] From Conversion to Revival: Gorrekunta's Ancient Shiva Temple Rises Again (Over 70% Converted Village)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv9PGYsJbcM Approximately a year ago, Sri Manoj from Gorrekunta village near Warangal called us. Having seen the programs undertaken by our Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), he requested us to visit the ancient Kakatiyan-era Shiva temple in their village. Responding to that invitation, our National General Secretary, Sri Rajesh, visited Gorrekunta village and had Darshan of the Lord Shiva. A key observation Sri Rajesh made during his first visit was that over *70% of the villagers had already converted their religion.* Even before his visit, the temple management and Manoj's family members had resolved to undertake temple repairs and had already begun the work. After speaking with them, we assured them that GHHF would also provide assistance. At that time, we first sent a microphone set to the temple. Recently, we received another call from Manoj. He informed us that the temple reconstruction was complete and invited Sri Rajesh to the Navagraha Pratistha (installation of the nine planets) and Dhwajasthambham (flagpole) installation ceremony. Our Rajesh, who attended the program, was astonished to see the temple! The temple had transformed wonderfully from its state during his first visit. Without disturbing the Moola Virat (main deity) and the Garbhagudi (sanctum sanctorum), the temple was painstakingly renovated with the cooperation of donors. The temple management and villagers welcomed him with great affection. *Sri Rajesh spoke with them about the necessity of temples and how they should be utilized in the present context.* It brought us immense joy when they shared that they undertook this construction, inspired by the words he spoke during his first visit. Furthermore, our happiness knew no bounds when they mentioned that the *Shiva Nama Smarana (chanting of Lord Shiva's name) began daily for the first time in the temple, all thanks to the microphone (Amplifier, 2- Horn, 2- Microphone) we sent.* We informed them that Global Hindu Heritage Foundation would organize more Dharmic programs there in the future. The revival of Gorrekunta Temple is an inspiration to us all!  Your donations are appreciated: By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.
