The preservation of Sanatana Dharma is not confined to urban hubs or plain lands; the timeless heritage and indigenous lifestyle of our tribal hamlets form the foundational bedrock of this sacred land. As conversion networks target vulnerable agency regions with deceptive inducements, establishing direct contact from the transitional foothills straight into interior tribal settlements is vital to securing cultural roots. Days 6 and 7 of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation’s (GHHF) 8-day tour were dedicated to this mission. GHHF National General Secretary Sri Rajesh Thunuguntla, alongside North Andhra In-charge Sri Surya Ramakrishna Thota, traveled from Nathavaram in Anakapalli district—the threshold of the agency tract—deep into the tribal villages of Alluri Sitharama Raju (ASR) district.

The engagement commenced on Day 6 with a well-organized Hindu Sammelan at Nathavaram. The convention brought together GHHF district pracharaks, Matajis leading Bala Samskara Kendras, representatives from local shrines that were previously provided with free sound/PA systems by GHHF, and community Bhajan teams. Comprehensive consultations were held on village-level challenges, temple development, and the revival of traditional community Bhajans. Addressing the assembly, Sri Rajesh Thunuguntla stated that transforming every village into a "Complete Hindu Village" (Sampoorna Hindu Gramam) is GHHF’s paramount mission, emphasizing that shrines must serve as pillars of cultural unity. Sri Surya Ramakrishna Thota urged the volunteers to work dedicatedly to integrate and strengthen Hindu society at the village level.

On Day 7, the leadership proceeded into the tribal heartland of Koyyuru Mandal in ASR district, visiting the villages of Nallagonda and Kotha Veedi. A focused strategy meeting was conducted inside the local Sri Sita Rama Swamy Temple. This meeting was organized by GHHF ASR district karyakartha Sri DVD Prasad, with active participation and support from Anakapalli district karyakartha Sri Pothuraju. Sri Rajesh Thunuguntla guided the volunteers on counteracting predatory conversion tactics, emphasizing the need to safeguard and reinforce indigenous tribal customs, traditional worship, and age-old practices. Uniting grassroots leadership at the agency gateway and affirming tribal cultural pride at the feet of Lord Sita Rama, Days 6 and 7 marked a significant step in GHHF's grassroots mission.
