[GHHF] Performed Shiva Abhishekam at Pradosha Kala on Monday to bring all villagers together to receive the blessings of Lord Shiva.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to preserving and practicing our rituals, observing our traditions, and transmitting our customs to young and old. For the last 20 years, we have initiated many programs to enrich our Hindu population and ensure they will appreciate, understand, and practice these customs and traditions.
One such program is “Intinta Shiva Abhishekam” meaning, Shiva Abhishekam in every house. Shiva means auspicious. Shiva is considered the giver of blessings, giver of peace, and giver of bliss. We believe that Shiva will fulfill our wishes if we anoint the Lord. If we do Abhishekam (ablution), he grants our wishes fast. As per scriptures, if we do Abhisheka to Shiva with water, he will remove ten sins; if we do with cow's milk, 100 sins; if we do Abhishekam with cow curd, 1000 sins; if we do with ghee, 3000 sins; if we do with honey, 5000 sins; if we do with fruit juice, all our sins are removed, and we get wealth and salvation.
Besides, if you perform puja during the Pradosh period on Monday evening, you will have good children, a sound mind, and good knowledge. So many such results are produced. Worshiping Lord Shiva is like worshiping Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu, which means "Shivaya Vishnurupaya Shivrupaya Vishnave." Shivasya Hridayam Vishnur Vishnoscha Hridayam Shivah - Vishnu is the heart of Siva, and likewise, Siva is the heart of Vishnu.” That means both Shiva and Vishnu are one and the same – actually, the manifestation of the same Supreme Lord.
In Bhagwat Puran, Shri Vishnu tells his beloved wife Shri Lakshmi that half of the space in Vishnu’s heart is actually occupied by Lord Shiva while the other half was occupied by all other beings, including Goddess Lakshmi Herself. Lord Shiva always meditated upon Shri Rama (Lord Vishnu) whereas, Lord Vishnu himself meditated upon Lord Shiva.
Narad Pancharatra succinctly states:
Shivo Harirhariha Shakshatchiva Eva Nirupitaha |
Shivadveshi Haridrohi Vishnum Nityam Bhajanapi ||
‘Shiva is Hari, and Hari is none other than Shiva. An enemy of Shiva is an enemy of Hari, even though he may worship Vishnu daily.’
Therefore, Shiva Puja and Abhishekam are being organized in every house. The main purpose of this program is also "to see that all the Hindus are not under the spell of other faiths' deception, incentive, and allurements. There is no caste and creed discrimination in this program. By doing Abhishekam and Bilva Archana for the Lord Shiva by everyone Hindu through this program, we are making them and their family members eligible to receive grace, blessings, and bliss from the Lord.
On July 13, 2026, with this purpose, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, under the leadership of Sri Gopikrishna Sastry, performed “Intinta Shiva Abhishekam” program at the house of Eranna Garu of SC Colony in Kalyandurgh of Kalyandurgam Mandal in Andhra Pradesh.
The primary purpose of this program is not only to unite all the Hindu brothers but also to reap the benefits of doing Shiva Puja and Shiva Abhishekam. Also, to prevent Christian encroachment into the villages by smearing our faith and misleading our innocent Hindus with false information.
By organizing this program, we will be able to stave off illegal conversions and keep our people in the Hindu fold. In all our programs, we tell our Hindus about the importance of applying tilak on their forehead, how to get salvation, and talk about our dharma, traditions, and customs. This program was started to ensure our Hindus appreciate our Hindu Dharma and remain as Hindus instead of being the victims of falsehood.
Finally, Teertha prasadam was distributed, and Annadanam was conducted. Bhajans were also conducted.
