Bringing families who had left their native faith due to external influences back into the Hindu Dharma is a noble and sacred endeavor undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF). Recently, GHHF organized a special pilgrimage (Teerth Yatra) for families who returned to their ancestral faith through the Ghar Wapsi program. This journey was not just a visit to holy sites; it offered a spiritual rebirth and immense peace of mind to these families who had emerged from external religious influences and re-entered the embrace of Sanatana Dharma.

A Spiritual Journey Steeped in Power, Devotion, and Tradition
The families participating in this pilgrimage experienced profound spiritual moments as they visited several sacred pilgrimage sites in South India. The journey began with a visit to Jogulamba Ammavaru, one of the Shakti Peethas. This darshan at the Shakti Peetha infused the families with new energy and spiritual inspiration. In the divine presence of the Mother Goddess, they unburdened their hearts and found deep peace.

Subsequently, this sacred journey continued towards Srisailam. Here, the family members had the darshan of Mallikarjuna Swamy, one of the Dwaadasha Jyotirlingas, and Bhramaramba Ammavaru, one of the Ashtadasha Shakti Peethas. The atmosphere at Srisailam was brimming with devotion. The pilgrimage, which began with a Nagara Sankeertana (a procession with devotional singing), enthralled devotees with bhajans. The sacred chants of Shiva's name and the resounding bhajans echoed through the Srisailam hills. This was more than just a divine darshan; it showcased collective devotion and unified strength.

The journey then proceeded to the Mahanandi pilgrimage site. After offering prayers to Mahanandi Swamy, the pilgrims reached Yaganti. Participating in the Shivaparvatula Kalyana Mahotsavam (celestial wedding ceremony of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati) at Yaganti provided them with a lifelong memory. By being part of this sacred ceremony, they once again comprehended the greatness of righteous living, family values, and Sanatana traditions.

"Purified from Sin" – Hearts Overflowing with Joy
This pilgrimage not only offered a spiritual experience but also brought immense mental tranquility to the families who returned to their native faith. The conflict and confusion they had previously experienced due to external religious influences vanished, replaced by the satisfaction of reconnecting with their roots. Their expression, "We have been purified from sin," eloquently conveyed the significant positive change this journey brought into their lives.

The Ghar Wapsi program undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is not merely about preventing religious conversions. It plays a crucial role in warmly welcoming back those who had deviated from their native faith and reintegrating them with their cultural and spiritual heritage. Through this pilgrimage, these families are empowered to embrace a dharma-abiding lifestyle and traditions, thereby regaining a respected position in society. This stands as a testament to the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's commitment, its dedication to preserving Hindu Dharma, and its tireless efforts to protect society from adverse external religious influences.
