GHHF 48 Archakas Priests received Dry Food Items in Anantapur City.
You Support is appreciate.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has distributed TWO weeks supply of Dry food items to Archakas living in Anantapur city. Sri Gopi Chary and three of his Associates coordinated the event by selecting the priests, who need these items. Instead of inviting all the Archakas to one location, our decision to arrange in four different locations around Anantapur. 48 Archakas and 3 Brahmin cooks were invited to receive the goods. Everybody is informed to follow the Covid guidelines. For three Archakas, our team went to their houses and delivered the items as they were not in a position to come out.
As we mentioned earlier, many Archakas in VILLAGES and certain areas of cities are experiencing hardships and struggling to feed their families. GHHF is planning to distribute these items in Anantapur, Tirupati, Guntur, Bhadrachalam, Hyderabad, West Godavari, and Visakhapatnam areas.
As we mentioned earlier that we wanted to distribute dry goods in these areas to about 600 Priests. Now the number increased to 750. We are expecting to distribute about 1000 easily in the next few days.
Each bag/kit will have the following items: Rice, Wheat flour, Cooking Oil, Urad Dal, Moong Dal, Brown Sugar, Tea Powder, Meal Packet, Chilli powder, Soaps, Tamarind, Turmeric, Sugar, Coconut oil, Upma Ravva, Mustard Seeds, and other items. It may vary depending on the requests of the priests in these cities.
Since the Lockdown due to the fear of spreading Coronavirus, all the Hindu Temples are closed. Now, many Pujaris / Hindu Temple priests are having a hard time meeting their basic needs. Many of them do not have any salaries either from the government or the private Temples. Most of them do not have enough savings to pay their rent and electricity. Furthermore, many private temples do not have enough income to pay their salaries. Consequently, many Pujaris do not have enough resources to meet their daily expenses to provide meals for their families. Recently, newspapers wrote about some priests begging on the streets as they could not provide meals for the family. That news pained so many people and some organizations are helping them financially. They are facing a grim and grave predicament.
It is time to help these Priests to meet their basic needs with our generous donation. It is time to acknowledge their invaluable service to Hindu Temples and Hindu Dharma. It is time to protect their dignity and self-respect.
