"Without a form how can God be mediated upon? If (He is) without any form, where will the mind fix itself? When there is nothing for the mind to attach itself to, it will slip away from meditation or will glide into a state of slumber. Therefore, the wise will meditate on some form, remembering, however, that the form is a superimposition and not a reality." Vishnu Samhita 29: 55-57. 

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation/www.savetemples.org and JD Foundation have prepared eco-friendly 3000 Ganesh Murthies. Sri V V Lakshmi Narayana of J D Foundation and Sri P V G R Naidu, MLA from Visakhpatnam West, distribute these environmentally friendly Tulasi seeded Ganesh idols freely to the public. This Murthy will have Tulasi seeds within to ensure they will keep them in their houses.  After pooja instead of nimarjjanam in a river or sea, we request the people who received the Murthy to keep it in a pot and pour some water so that Tulasi seeds will sprout into a full-blown plant which has its own significance apart from the religious aspect. The importance of the Tulasi plant is described in detail in our Hindu scriptures. This way, Ganesha and Tulasi plants will be at your home, and the environment will not be polluted.

            GHHF and JDF jointly organized several events. In 2023, they distributed about 3000 Lord Ganesh murtis. Also, they freely distributed Kashayam, an herbal immunity booster, so that you would be safeguarded from this pandemic. Everybody is invited to come and pick one from Pinnamaneni's banquet halls in Gopalpatnam, Visakhapatnam. We welcome everybody to register if they are willing to volunteer in any activities we organize for the welfare of humanity.
The Story of Lord Ganesh
Lord Ganesha, popularly known and easily recognized as the Elephant God, is one of the most important deities of the Hindu Patheon. Before every undertaking, be it laying the foundation of a house, opening a store, or beginning any other work, Lord Ganesh is first worshipped to invoke his blessings. 

Ganesha has many names. The main ones are Ganapati (lord of the ganas, or attendants), Vighneshwara (controller of all obstacles), Vinayaka (the prominent leader), Gajaanana (elephant-faced), Lambodara (pendant-bellied), and Ekdanta (having one tusk). 

Ganesha is described as an elephant God who represents the power of the Supreme Being that removes obstacles and ensures success in human endeavors. Hindu scriptures recommend worshipping Ganesha before any religious, spiritual, or worldly activity begins.  Many students go to the Temple before they commence their studies. Business people go and seek his blessings to remove all impediments. Spiritual people worship, seeking the wisdom needed to grow spiritually. 

Pranamya shirasaa devam gaurii putram vinaayakam
Bhaktaa vaasam smarenha nityam aayuh kaama artha siddhaye 

This Stotra is from Narada Purana and is recited to remove all troubles and get liberation. The meaning of this Stotra (religious hymn) is that one should bow one's head and offer obeisance before the son of Gauri, Vinayaka (or Lord Ganesha), whose abode is the devotees, and remember Him always for the purpose of obtaining longevity, desired energy, and prosperity.
