[GHHF] 700 liters Buttermilk was distributed at the celebration of Sri Veeranjaneya Temple for thousands of People to stave off scorching heat in Karnataka Village.

"Hindus accept no divisions between the believer and unbeliever. Every path leads to Him (God or Reality); there can be as many paths to Him as the number of humans. Indeed, the prophetic tradition is alien to Hinduism. Narrowness of the spirit, peculiar to Semitic faiths, has been alien to India." Girilal Jain Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to participate in the annual Ari Veeranjaneya Swami Utsavam in Parasurama Puram Village in Karnataka. Thousands of devotees come there to have darshan of Lord.

[GHHF] 700 liters Buttermilk was distributed at the celebration of Sri Veeranjaneya Temple for thousands of People to stave off scorching heat in Karnataka Village.

"Hindus accept no divisions between the believer and unbeliever. Every path leads to Him (God or Reality); there can be as many paths to Him as the number of humans. Indeed, the prophetic tradition is alien to Hinduism. Narrowness of the spirit, peculiar to Semitic faiths, has been alien to India." Girilal Jain Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to participate in the annual Ari Veeranjaneya Swami Utsavam in Parasurama Puram Village in Karnataka. Thousands of devotees come there to have darshan of Lord. Our Pracharaks Sri Gopi Krishna Swamy, Arjun, Anil Kumar, and Hanumanthu decided to help so many people attending the function. We have encouraged nearby village people about the festival and encouraged them to attend this unique festival.           Being Summer with scorching sun, our team decided to provide buttermilk, water, and coconut water. As we all know, it is not easy to provide water for many people. Keeping that in mind, cold cooling filtered water and cold buttermilk were given to the devotees to quench their thirst to some extent. Approximately 700 liters of buttermilk (4 drums) was provided.      The devotees expressed their happiness by saying that we are thankful to you for giving cold water and cold buttermilk on behalf of GHHF this year. Sri Gopi Swami explained the importance of providing annadanam, water, buttermilk, coconut water etc. to the needy. As per our scriptures:  “Gaja turaga Sahasram Gokulam koti danam Kanaka Rajatha patram Methini sagarantham Upaya kula vishuttam Koti kanya pradanam Nahi nahi bahu danam Annadanam samanam” MEANING: Donating 1000 elephants & horses, donating 10 million cows, donating any number of vessels of silver and gold, donating the entire land till sea, offering the entire services of the clan, helping in the marriage of 10 million women, all this is never ever equal to Annadanam, the feeding of hungry and needy. Annadanam that includes water, buttermilk, and coconut water, offering food to the needy and the visiting guests in many Ashrams, is a common practice for thousands of years. More importance is given to providing meals for the people who are hungry. Providing meals at many Hindu Temples and Ashrams is a custom.  Our Temples provide Naivedyam to Gods on a regular basis as we believe the presence of Paramatma/God in the installed Deities. Similarly, we believe there is a divinity in all the creatures – humans as well as non-human. Sharing food is considered the sacred duty in Hindu culture. At almost all the festivals, the organizers provide meals. Thus, annadanam is given the highest importance because of our belief that God lives as Atman in each one of us.

[GHHF] Mega Membership Dive at Assam-Manipur Border; Appointed 11 Team leaders to look after Tea Garden areas, and initiated Women’s Group, Tejaswini, with 100 members.

"The faith which the Hindus had in their religion never wavered even in its worst days. It has had waxings and wanings which has kept the balance even." " In judging the vitality of Hinduism the point should be emphasized that it has maintained itself through the ages and enforced obedience to itself without support from any kind of organization, secular or spiritual." Nirad C. Chaudhuri (1897-1999) Mega Membership drive and public contact Campaign  As part of our Jan Sampark Abhiyan i.e. Public Contact campaign, Sri Samrat Dutt, Member of Board of Director of GHHF, spent one and half days with the Hindus of Assam Manipur border. During his stay at the Border, he met several likeminded Hindus and spent many hours with them. Many people gathered unannounced to see him and hear about Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. They said that nobody came to their villages to about protecting Hindu Dharma hear their concerns about the aggressive nature of other religions.  Sri Samrat talked to different groups at different times and explained about the mission of GHHF. Following these meetings organized appointed 11 team leaders who will look after 11 tea tribe Garden of that locality. 100 women joined Tejaswini. He says, “It was definitely a visit which I will remember for years as I stayed there in the house of our GHHF worker. We discussed so many issues. Our Seva work during Manipur riot created a good image of GHHF and through this membership drive we reached more than 20 places of this vast area.” Fifty youths joined GHHF in a meeting arranged by one of the team leaders who was appointed during his visit on 17th. Next day in another place one temple committee arranged a meeting to start one Bala Samskar in their village. After my return to Silchar newly appointed workers organized these meetings and started working on various local Hindu issues. These team leaders are very excited to take responsibility to reach as many Hindus as possible and encourage villagers to participate in this Unity drive and express their concerns so that we may be able to address them in an open discussion instead put them under the rug.      GHHF gives them encouragement to get involved in the community activities, share the richness of Sanatana Dharma, create pride in their culture and  protect our children. We requested them to keep an eye on the missionary activities in these villages. We also shared information about Love Jihad and Tejaswini group has taken responsibility to educate our families to make sure our Hindu girls are protected from love Jihad attempts.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about three great Patriots who sacrificed their lives – Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, and Raj Guru

Bhagat Singh     “They may kill me but they cannot kill my ideas. They can crush my body, but they will not be able to crush my spirit.” Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev and Raj Guru are true patriots who willingly laid down their lives for their country, Bharat, at a young age. Those heroes who moved forward with the determination to break the chains of slavery and let the people breathe the air of freedom had to sacrifice their lives. However, Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev are those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of their country. Hearing those words before the execution of those heroes, no one's blood could stop boiling. On that day, the national movement in India against the British government was going on fiercely. Bhagat Singh along with his followers actively participated in the movement for the freedom of the country. The then national leader Lala Lajapati Rai died due to severe beating by the police. In retaliation, Bhagat Singh and his henchmen fired on Lahore SP. But instead of SP, additional SP Sanders was killed in the firing. Later they escaped from there. But shortly after, Bhagat Singh's followers hurled a low-pressure bomb in the then Delhi Assembly to protest the torture of Indian prisoners taken by the British. Later they had the opportunity to escape from there but did not do so. In addition to this case, the then British government overturned the Sanders case. Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev were sentenced to death as part of the trial. Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev were asked what their last wish was in the then court. Do you know what they answered? All three requested that they should not be hanged like common criminals and shot dead as political prisoners. But the British government refused their wish. The then court ruled that patriots Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev should be hanged on the morning of March 24, 1931. But knowing this matter, the whole country became tense. The English government, thinking that there was a chance of the whole country becoming tense, decided to execute the sentence a day earlier on March 23 at 7.30 pm. They brought all three to the grounds of Lahore Central Jail. Seeing them, some Indian policemen had tears in their eyes. But Bhagat Singh was not worried at all. All three of them looked bold as if they were waiting for this moment. Bhagat Singh is standing in the middle, Sukh Dev on the left and Raj Guru on the right. At this time the brave warriors kissed the gallows in front of them. Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev who climbed the altar put the gallows on the necks of the deceased. Their words in this tense time make everyone's blood boil. Bhagat Singh Bhagat Singh, one of the revolutionaries who was a part of the freedom movement for Indian independence, was martyred at a very young age.  He, therefore, became a role model to many youngsters and leaders to gather the courage to fight, to act against injustices and to voice out all that needs to be heard.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanthi was organized in Dallas TX on March 24.

Chaptrapati Maharaj Antar-rashtriya Parivaar of Dallas Chapter organized the annual Jayanti on March 23 on a grand scale with a theme to celebrate UNITY and LEADERSHIP without boundaries. It is filled with patriotic songs, dances, Dhol Tasha & Lezim, theme-based costume for children, demonstrations of Children talents and procession of Shivaji Maharaj and dances. This program was organized by Vijay and Chhaya Gayee and Manish Kapoor and many more volunteers. Karishmaji has done a wonderful job as Mistress of Ceremony in coordinating the activities on stage. Let us thank all the organizers for spending countless hours making it successful.     The slide presentation of the life, achievements, bravery of Shivaji was very impressive and documented the accomplishments and achievements of Shivaji Maharaj. Many people learned about Shivaji Maharaj about his leadership, courage and bravery, self-reliance, strategies with effective management, forward vision and many more characteristics that distinguished Shivaji Maharaj. Exhibition posters were displayed in the foyer to people to read about Shivaji. On the stage, tributes were offered to national heroes like Shivaji Maharaj, Prithviraj Chauhan, Maharana Pratap, Raja Krishnadevaraya, Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Rani Laxmibai, Guru Gobind Singh, Raja Raja Chola and others. Every Hindu should learn and remember his courage, valor, strategies, and management skills: •    Shivaji worked hard as a child and during his youth to increase his physical strength and stamina. •    He brought together simple-minded Mavale and enthused them with an ideology and loyalty. He gave them purpose. •    He vowed to dedicate himself to founding the Hindavi Swarajya and never faltered. •    He brought important forts under his rule and built new ones. •    He attacked the enemy at the right time or compromised if necessary; using this principle shrewdly, he managed to defeat his enemies most of the time, at times even facing family disputes. •    He used guerrilla warfare techniques cleverly. •    He brought about order and administration to the lives of common people, farmers, soldiers and priests and places of worship. •    He promoted Marathi as the official language and gave patronage to many art forms and artists. •    He created an eight-minister cabinet to administer the Hindavi Swarajya. This was one of the most important decisions taken by him. •    At the same time, he instilled confidence among the poor, downtrodden masses. He gave them a sense of purpose in life. •    He managed to achieve all this within a short life span of fifty years. •    Today, Maharashtra continues to be inspired by the spirit of independence sowed in the seventeenth century by Maharaj. The pride and sense of achievement that every Maharashtrian feels even today can be duly attributed to the work of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Jai Bhavani, Jaia Jai Shivaji {{album_1053}}

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation: Restoring the Heart of Sanatan Dharma

From Temple Liberation to Cultural Empowerment, GHHF is leading the charge in defense of Hindu civilization. Hindu civilization faced sustained assault from invaders and colonizers for over 1200 years, threatening the foundations of its social order.  Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) champions the defense and revitalization of Hindu culture through legal challenges, awareness campaigns, and community engagement. GHHF also spearheads efforts to empower Hindus against conversion pressures and promote cultural pride through educational initiatives. GHHF continues its mission to reclaim Hindu heritage, fight against conversions, protect temples, and preserve cultural identity for future generations. Sanatan Dharma is the oldest and most significant source of traditions, spirituality, culture, and philosophy. Unfortunately, over the last 1200 years, this great civilization has faced sustained Abrahamic assault, targeting its beliefs and way of life. Because of its complex structure, it is important to understand Dharma’s basic principles and structure to appreciate its beauty. At the core of Sanatan Dharma are temples, which act as central places for devotion, tradition, culture, and philosophy. The social gatherings and rituals at these temples have historically contributed to the development of the Hindu community in various aspects like education, healthcare, food, and trade. However, during the Arab-Turkic invasions and later British colonization, the dharmic framework of this great social order was slowly weakened by those who sought to impose their beliefs and exert political power. After centuries of struggle and oppression, there was hope for a revival when India gained independence in 1947. Unfortunately, quite the reverse happened, where our civilizational identity’s very Foundation was questioned. The successive governments dominated by the Western-educated Hindus-by-accident dynasts harbored an innate bias against Hindus and their traditions. For nearly seven decades, they had a free run at embedding their biases in the public consciousness through discriminatory policies and public postures. Sadly, the Hindu soul, suppressed by centuries of colonial rule, failed to see the slow but steady erosion of their values, traditions, and socio-economic interests. However, a ray of hope began to emerge in recent times. Several Hindu organizations, both in India and around the world, became aware of the games being played against their civilizational identity and started working to restore the lost glory of Hindu Dharma. While groups like RSS and VHP were already doing good work, as were organizations like ISKCON and the Akshay Patra Foundation, it was clear that ordinary people needed to be engaged in the recovery process to protect, support, and nurture the institutions that were the Foundation of our dharmic traditions. It is here the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) entered the scene with the vision “to protect, preserve, promote, and maintain Hindu culture, Hindu temples, mutts, peethams, endowments, Trusts, and other institutions globally.” Global Hindu Heritage Foundation However, their task has not been without challenges, the biggest one being the various state governments. Several state governments have seized control of Hindu temples and are siphoning off their earnings under the pretext of “administration.” However, they have shown little to no interest in their upkeep. GHHF’s “Save Temples” mission has taken a leading role in freeing temple management from state control. In 2006, the Foundation created the Hindu Devalaya Parirakshana Samiti to legally challenge the Endowments Act  that is used by the state government to control the temples. The same year, the Foundation also organized a groundbreaking film festival to raise awareness of the issue. The festival was very effective in shedding light on the struggles of Hindu temples and raising public awareness. In 2014, GHHF organized another film festival as part of its public engagement strategy. This event featured some 40 short films and documentaries covering topics like protecting Hindu temples and their assets, the ancient Hindu religion, the Vedas and their importance, protection of cows, providing food for the needy (Annadanam), promoting Hindu devotion, and exploring Hindu epics, Puranas, and other sacred texts. Three films were recognized with cash prizes, several organizations engaged in dharmic causes were honored, and the web portal https://swasthiktv.com was recognized as the Best Devotional Web TV. The persistent efforts finally gained significant traction around 2015 when the Foundation organized a seminar focused on repealing the Endowments Act. This event marked a turning point, drawing attention to the cause after nearly a decade of struggle. Notable figures, including BJP leader Subramaniam Swamy, supported the Foundation’s demand, predicting that the days of the Endowments Act were numbered. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has continued to monitor Hindu temples and actively participate in social and political efforts to free them from government control. In one instance, GHHF exposed the Andhra State government’s subversive efforts to appoint non-Hindus to manage temples to undermine the temples’ integrity GHHF was at the forefront in raising a voice against such efforts. This prompted the aforementioned state government to remove such individuals from temple management. Unfortunately, this decision was later reversed by that state’s high court. Nevertheless, the Foundation has persisted in its interactions with the state government while simultaneously lodging a formal appeal against the high court’s decision.  In addition to working on short-term objectives, the GHHF is committed to securing the well-being of future generations as well. In pursuit of this objective, the Foundation launched Bala Samskar Kendras, which aimed to foster the holistic development of children. These centers offer instruction on yoga for physical development, narrate tales of historical figures for inspiration, acquaint them with Hindu saints for spiritual enrichment, and much more. Campaign against Conversions For decades, there has been a continuous activity of religious conversions to Christianity through allurement and enticement. In response, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has taken a bold and impactful step by organizing Ghar Wapsi programs. These endeavors are designed to reintegrate recent converts by providing counseling sessions about the rich heritage of Sanatan Dharma and the loss of spiritual fulfillment they risk by embracing other faiths. GHHF is actively working in various regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, where conversions are prevalent.  Additionally, the Foundation has produced educational material that compares the teachings from the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. These pamphlets empower individuals considering voluntary conversion, equipping them with a valuable resource for making informed decisions. Through the presentation of teachings from both religious texts, the Foundation endeavors to foster a thoughtful and knowledgeable approach to matters of faith and conversion. Other projects While conversion activity is one of the biggest challenges in Bharat, the violent persecution of Hindus is the most alarming issue in neighboring countries such as Bangladesh and Pakistan. Men within the community are regularly coerced and threatened to convert to Islam, while women endure the horrifying ordeal of forced abduction and marriage to older men after being forcibly converted to Islam. Recognizing the urgency of this situation, GHHF, alongside other organizations, has urged for the swift implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) to provide citizenship to Hindus fleeing persecution in Pakistan and Bangladesh. GHHF has also actively campaigned against the illegal slaughter of cows in the country and, in several instances, worked to rescue cows from the clutches of butchers. In February 2024, GHHF was responsible for successfully rescuing 350 cows from the imminent threat of slaughter. Uniting the Hindu community has long been a challenging task, but the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has adopted a unique strategy. In February 2024, the Foundation organized events commemorating Shivaji Jayanti, not in Maharashtra but in the distant Northeast, especially Assam. This initiative significantly heightened awareness among the Hindu populace in the region regarding the great king Shivaji and his vision for Swaraj. A substantial volunteer force comprising 7000 individuals was mobilized on the ground, with the ambitious goal of establishing a 50,000-strong volunteer organization in the region. Simultaneously, there has been a renewed effort to protect girls within the community from the predatory influences of people from Abrahamic faiths. Above and beyond its various initiatives, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation’s most crucial endeavor is to foster a sense of pride in Dharma among the Hindu community. A particularly innovative initiative by the Foundation involved crafting stencils featuring text carvings of “Jai Shri Ram” and “Om Namah Shivay,” which were distributed to over 300 locations across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, as well as in the United States and Bangladesh. This initiative sought to instill a strong sense of cultural and spiritual pride within the Hindu community. The Man Behind the Institution – Dr. VV Prakashrao The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, led by Dr. VV Prakash Rao, works hard to protect and promote Sanatan Dharma, much like the legendary warrior Abhimanyu confronting multiple adversaries in the great war for Dharma. Dr. Rao earned his MA in Rural Development and Economics from Andhra University in 1963. After a brief stint at the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in New Delhi, he came to the US in 1965 and earned his second MA degree at Michigan State University and PhD in Sociology at Mississippi State University in 1971. He then joined the Jackson University faculty, becoming its Chairperson of the Department of Sociology and Criminology until his retirement in 2006. Aside from academics, Dr. Rao was a social activist and founding member of the Hindu Temple Society of Mississippi. For thirty years, he served the Hindu community in Mississippi, engaging in interfaith debates and educating students and youth about Hindu dharma and its intricacies. Dr. Rao has been outspoken about the challenges posed by Christianity in his native state of Andhra Pradesh, highlighting how converts were actively undermining the ethos of Hindu religion.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about a Merchant and a Donkey with a moral that we should not refrain from performing our duties.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to transmit the richness of Sanatana dharma to the youngsters in terms of the depth and width of knowledge, the sacrifices of national heroes, miracles of Maha Rishis, science and mathematics, moral stories, and the importance of maintaining the traditions and customs. This week our teachers talked about the story of the Merchant and the Donkey. Once upon a time there was a seller in a village. The seller sells all kinds of goods. He buys sandals, clothes, glasses, teeth, bowls cheaply in the market and sells them door to door in the village. A donkey was used to carry these goods. He used to pack all the goods and put them on a donkey and take them from the market to the village and from the village back to his house. The donkey was getting tired after carrying heavy loads all day. One day a vendor bought salt in the market. Salt packs are heavier than usual. The donkey walked behind the seller carrying the burden of sin. It's already midday. The sun is shining. The donkey is tired. The legs started dragging. Back pain. Thirsty. Meanwhile, the canal was approaching. The donkey quickly went towards the canal. It is difficult to bend with such a big bag. The donkey tried to bend forward as much as possible to drink water. The canal bank is wet and slippery. The donkey got out of control and fell into the water along with the bag of salt. Her legs and arms started beating for fear of drowning. But unexpectedly the donkey started floating. The pack on the back is visible. The water rose from the canal to the embankment. The package is lost! No weight! So much relief for the back. That night at home the donkey wondered how this miracle had happened. It does not know that the salt has dissolved in the water. Maya thought that something magical had happened in that canal. She was determined that if she ever felt the weight of the package, she would dive into the water again. Next day the seller bought clothes. He put those clothes on the donkey and left for the village. "Didn't get anything yesterday. The seller bought more than he usually buys, thinking that he should make a good profit even today. Again, he put more weight on the donkey. The donkey's legs and back started to hurt again. Again, the canal came closer. Immediately the donkey went towards the canal and again pretended to drink water and plunged into the water. It pretended to drink water by wetting the feet to ensure the all the clothes get wet. But instead of losing weight, the clothes pack gained more weight! It is not salt to dissolve! Clothes! As they get wet, they gain weight. Unfortunately, the plan failed. As the weight increased, the donkey started drowning in water. It was very fearful. The seller dived into the water and carefully pulled the donkey from the water. That night the donkey suffered a lot. Not only did her back and legs ache more than usual due to carrying double weight, but she also developed a cold due to carrying the wet clothes for so long. She is determined to never find a false way to cut down on work again.

[GHHF] Assam's Madhura Unit with their hard work was able to obtain a Rs. 3 lacs grant from local MP to restore the dilapidated Shiva Temple sanction from Government fund.

"Mother India is an aspiring tree. This aspiring tree has the Vedas as its only roots. The root is Truth, the tree is Truth, the experience of the tree is Truth, the realization of the tree is Truth, the realization of the tree is Truth, the revelation of the tree is Truth, the manifestation of the tree is Truth. The Vedic seers saw the Truth with their souls, in their Heavenly visions and in their earthly actions. Satyam eva jayate naanrtam (Mundakopanisad 3.1.6) - Truth alone triumphs, not falsehood.” Sri Chinmoy Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in Assam is working extremely hard to revise Hinduism, create pride in the, organize Bhajans, conduct Bala Samskar Kendras, enroll our Hindus into Mega movement, create Women’s’ wing known as Tejaswini, renovate and/or build Hindu Temples and work toward bringing unity among Hindus. As many of you are aware that GHHF in Assam is organizing Bhajan Mandals in Adivasi villages and other villages to ensure that they develop bhakti and appreciate the richness of our stories abound in Ramayana, Mahabharata, and many Puranas.  Sri Samrat Dutt who is one of the Board of Directors of GHHF spends lots of time visiting the various parts of Silchar area and Manipur –Assam Border to help Hindus. Last year in the month of September when our Bhajan Mandali team visited that village they discovered one abandoned Shiva temple in ruined condition. After having the meeting with the local villagers, we decided to construct it with bamboo and wood and started weekly bhajan on Monday. The GHHF local team approached local leaders for construction of this temple, but they refused to give any funds rather discouraged our Team members.  We have been looking for alternatives to raise funds and renovate the almost dilapidated Grama Devata Temple - Shiva Temple.  Our GHHF team realized that the Parliamentary elections are approaching. May they thought they would contact the sitting MP and request funds that he can collect from the government. Now just before the Parliament election when local BJP Mandala team contacted GHHF for election help, our team asked them to construct the temple first, otherwise they won't allow any meeting in this village. The local team contacted MP of Silchar Dr. Rajdeep Roy.  As many of us are aware that every MP would have the privilege of sponsoring certain projects in his constituency. Recognizing the successful membership drive and knowing the number of activities GHHF is conducting in his constituency, he decided to help and obtained a Three lakh grant to complete Shiva Temple in Madhura village.  It is to be mentioned here that through membership drive we touched more than 1400 Hindu families of this area. ( Photos are already sent to this group) . Now considering our strength MP, Silchar sanctioned Rs.3 lacs for the construction of this Shiva Temple. We told them No temple -No meeting- No vote. Rhus the villagers worked closely with GHHF, sought their guidance and were able to get the grant to complete the Temple. The attached pictures show the progress. Soon it will be completed as planned.  Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

[GHHF] Bala Samskar Kendra started in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan – started teaching about the importance of Chanting slokas – Om, Gayatri Mantra, Guru Mantra, Patriotic songs - and practicing Yoga.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to transmit the richness of Sanatana dharma to the youngsters in terms of the depth and width of knowledge, the sacrifices of national heroes, miracles of Maha Rishis, science and mathematics, and the importance of maintaining the traditions and customs. We take pride in teaching various Slokas, and Stotras to the students. Started Bala Samskar Kendras in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan GHHF is very happy to announce that we stared Bala Samskar Kendras in Rajasthan about a month ago. We have about 28 students in the class. We are planning to expand to other villages.  Next 2-3 weeks following information will be taught: •    Importance of values and rituals •    Every child is encouraged to visit the Temple daily. •    Parents’ feet must be touched before going to school. •    Elders should respond by saying Jai Sri Ram after Pada Namskaram. •    Students should wash their hands before eating food. •    Chant slokas every day. •    Students are taught to practice Yoga. There are about 28 students enrolled in this class. The students are asked to say OM three times every day in the class before the lessons are taught. Then they will chant Gayatri Mantra. The Gayatri Mantra is a Sanskrit mantra that has been chanted for thousands of years. It was written down during the Vedic period (1500-500 BCE) and is one of the oldest known and most powerful mantras. It is said to contain all the knowledge of the universe. The Gayatri has 24 syllables, and is listed below: Om bhuh, bhuvah, swaha (Aumm Bhoor Bhoo-va Su-va-ha) Tat savitur varenyam (Tat Sa-vee-toor Var-ayn-yam) Bhargo devasya dhimahi (Bar-go Day-vas-ya Dhee-ma-hee) Dhiyo yo nah prachodayat (Dhee-yo Yo Nah Pra-cho-da-yaat) A general translation of the mantra is: “O Divine mother may your pure divine light illuminate all realms (physical, mental, and spiritual) of our being. Please expel any darkness from our hearts and bestow upon us true knowledge.” •    It enables us to accumulate spiritual light, and we raise our vibratory level and those around us, including our friends, family, and community. •    It improves concentration and keeps us from being negative. •    It fastens the healing process. •    By chanting Gayatri Mantra, you achieve success and happiness in your life. •    With regular chanting of the Gayatri Mantra, one can firmly establish and stabilize the mind. •    The mantra is a declaration of appreciation, to both the nurturing sun and the Divine. •    The Gayatri mantra acts as a beacon to our inherent essence—pure consciousness. •    It serves as a reminder of our innate perfection and ignites the flame in us to realize our utmost potential. •    Through this practice, we can reawaken our divine connection to the universe.

GHHF Against The Biggest Human Rights Violation By Shishir Katote

Imagine a boy dating with a girl for 5 years, spending money on her, hoping one day they will get married. On one unfortunate day, he happens to know that she was already married and he was being taken for a ride. What will be your reaction if that boy is your close friend or brother? Surely you will be furious for she wasted his 5 years for no reason. This is not the story of any particular person. This is the story of each and every Hindu, except in real, it is much more harsh, atrocious and pernicious. We will think about asking for a justification to this girl who wasted 5 years of a person who you love. But we always tend to forget the bigger criminals. I am speaking about Indian Education System, that is built to make sure that you wonder if your Hindu ancestors were clowns who believed that a monkey could jump from India to Srilanka. This is the same system that makes us feel that the root cause of all problems in our country is Hinduism. We think that it is the Vedic culture that made us susceptible to the foreign invasion and is the precursor for the pathetic situation of each and every Indian working on the construction sites at the temperatures of 45 degree. This misinformation is only the tiniest outcome of the hazardous education system in Bharat. But if so, what is the biggest disservice that this system has done to our holy land? This disservice is “Destroying the fundamental human right of each and every Hindu, the right to attain moksha”. And this is the Greatest Human Rights Violation ever. Because it forces us to deviate from the true spiritualism, which only comes from Vedic culture, offering moksha at the end of it, the freedom from pain and miseries, and unending cycle of birth, old age, disease and death. In the above example, you agree that wasting 5 precious years of someone’s life is immoral, unethical and despicable. But what about wasting whole lives of all the Hindus, from the moment of birth to the death, when the purpose of a human life is to attain moksha?   According to me, the Indian Education is still playing a secondary role in this Hindu Human Right’s Violation. Because the primary role is being played by the missionaries, who are openly, either by force or by coaxing or by brainwashing, are converting poor and innocent Hindus into a follower of an abrahmic religion that has no facility to attain moksha. The problem is that even most of the awakened Hindus speak only about survival. But the question is, if survival is the only thing, how Hinduism is different than the abrahmic cultures? Because if you get converted, still you are left with an option to survive, even if it is by giving up Hinduism. So, survival surely is an important factor. But the more important thing is what to do after surviving! For this reason, I am in the favor of organizations, such as Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, which is not only working towards bringing back the lost people to Hinduism, but also, through Bala Samskara Kendras, getting them firmly established in the fundamental principles of Hinduism. They have more than 200 centers in Bharat, which are silently working towards the upliftment of Hindu society, without asking donations from the Indian Hindus, but by collecting those from the non Indian Hindus and channeling these funds for the betterment of only Bharat and its Hindus. We know that the Hinduism exists in two forms. Gross and subtle. While the subtle form has been preserved through these Bala Samskara Kendras, where all the education to lead a Hindu lifestyle leading to moksha is being provided, we should not forget that the same Hindusm also exists in the gross form via temples. In other words, different ancient temples are the external organs of Hinduism and the philosophy taught in the Bala Samskara Kendras is the brain of Hinduism, which programs the whole community in a way that it becomes resistant to more conversions and helps it thrive under the most unfavorable conditions. Why am I mentioning the organization like Global Hindu Heritage Foundation here is because most of the Hindu organizations are still not aware of the importance of this internal programming? The importance of internal or intellectual programming of young children through Bala Samskara Kendras is explained in the verse below by Acharya Chanakya: शस्त्रैर्हता न हि हता रिपवो भवन्ति प्रज्ञा-हतास्तु रिपवः सुहता भवन्ति । शस्त्रं निहन्ति पुरुषस्य शरीरमेकं प्रज्ञा कुलं च विभवश्च यशश्च हन्ति ॥ In simple words, an enemy destroyed by a physical weapon doesn’t actually get destroyed. Only when you destroy the intellect of any enemy, he becomes destroyed for real. Because a physical weapon kills only physical bodies of few enemies. But if the intelligence of any enemy is destroyed, it destroys its generations, glory, self-respect and prosperity.   We Didn’t Listen To Him! It is very true that despite the departure of Britishers, we are today nothing but brown skinned third class Britishers. Because as the verse above explains, they have stolen and rotten our intelligence and programmed it to believe that anything pertinent to Hinduism is the root cause of all evils in our nation. Hence, even if they manage to survive the onslaught of abrahmic missionaries, we don’t have any shraddha in our own dharma. We don’t know what the actual need for remaining a Hindu is. Only here, the importance of saving temples and reprogramming intellect comes into picture, which the GHHF is doing via Save Temples movement and Bala Samskara Kendras. In short, the GHHF is working against the Greatest Human Rights Violation that is being performed against Hindus, which is being ignored by the organizations like United Nations, Human Rights Watch etc. We get an opportunity to become a human being after taking birth in the 8.4 million species. Consider how fortunate we are to take birth in the land of Bharat, which is the only place that offers an escape from this cycle. But how unfortunate will we be, if we are born as a Hindu but are enticed into a culture that doesn’t offer any such rescue. Despite working underground 24/7 without any expectations, the media is consistently targeting the organizations like GHHF. It is the duty of each and every Hindu to help such organizations protect themselves and flourish. I hope this article helps Hindus understand the importance of GHHF and other organizations and a brings about some action in real. - Shishir Katot

[GHHF] Sponsor Bala Samskar Kendras to make our Hindu Children, Hindus First. Create Pride and Protect Bharat Mata.

Anne Besant once stated: “After a study of some forty years and more of the great religions of the world, I find none so perfect, none so scientific, none so philosophic, and none so spiritual as the great religion known by the name of Hinduism ... Make no mistake; without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India’s roots are struck … And if Hindus do not maintain Hinduism, who shall save it? If India’s own children do not cling to her faith, who shall guard it? India alone can save India, and India and Hinduism are one.” What is Bala Samskar?                 Our children are our strength. They are our future. They will be our Ambassadors to Hindu Dharma in preserving, protecting, and propagating our ancient civilization. For centuries, we as Hindus failed to transmit the knowledge to the next generations. With no knowledge about our faith and with no pride in the universality and non-violence of Sanatana Dharma, our children as well as adults have become targets for Christians to convert. They have used a plethora of deceptive tactics to woo our Hindus to Christianity as we are not able to defend our religion and are not able to question the barbaric nature of the Bible. We have become defenseless and not equipped with any knowledge about our heritage.                 Similarly, we are still ill-equipped with the true nature of other religions. Christianity and Islam advocate violence, terror, killings, rapes, and destruction. Hindus are the only ones who say that all religions are the same while the other two Abrahamic religions abhor Hinduism and do not have no respect. Both these religions have committed to wiping out Hinduism from the planet. It is time to realize the potential danger to Hinduism start getting reacquainted with the richness of our heritage and understand why ahimsa, tolerance, inclusiveness, respect for others, and truth can save humanity from extinction.                 Hundreds and hundreds of Western scholars, Nobel laureates, Literary giants, and spiritual titans have applauded the universality of Hinduism, its non-sectarian, non-violent, peaceful, and tolerant philosophy. As Arnold Toynbee stated, it is only spirituality and ahimsa that can save the world from self-destruction. Francois Gautier announces that “the knowledge that stands behind Hinduism, can save the world.”                 Knowledge is power. GHHF would like to impart the knowledge that will be useful for them as well as for the future of Bharat. Why is Bala Samskar Planned?                 Bala Samskar Kendras are being planned for two purposes: 1)            To teach about the richness and glory of our Sanatana Dharma. It’s eternal nature, its scientific advances, depth of knowledge in our scriptures, and its universal appeal to humanity. 2)            Also prevent the Christian aggressive missionary threat to Hinduism. Children are lured away by the Christians bribing them with many unnecessary needs to attract them. They give Chocolates, pens, pencils, and promises of many material things and invite them to Churches and start brainwashing them to believe in their religion and teach them to hate Hinduism.                 Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is organizing nearly 200 schools in eight States – Assam Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Also, five schools are started in Bangladesh. Imparting the richness of Hindu Heritage that enunciated peace, harmony, inclusiveness, self-improvement, and universal welfare is very important. The schools are conducted either three days a week or five days a week depending on the convenience of the teacher and location. Our School will discuss the contributions Hinduism made in the fields of education, mathematics, and astronomy. Arithmetic, quantum mechanics, metallurgy, surgery, medicine, dentistry, infinity, zero. Cosmology, literature, yoga meditation, and other subjects. Teaching about Sanatana Dharma is crucial for exposing children to a variety of different worldviews, beliefs, and cultures, which, in turn, helps them become more spiritually, socially, and morally tolerant. In many ways, Religious Education plays a key role in children’s personal development. Learning history dating back to the Vedic period helps children develop a sense of identity, pride, appreciation, and admiration. It's the most natural, normal thing in the world for human beings to know who they are and where they come from. Indian history can provide people of any age with a better sense of identity, and this absolutely includes children.  Early exposure to Indian history will help your child develop a sense of patriotism and pride in his country. It will teach him to respect the sacrifices and struggles of his ancestors. Youth will learn more about the cultural traditions and heritages that they’re a part of. In other words, it will help him identify and appreciate his place in a rather long, complex, and wonderful human story.  History has all kinds of stories in it; stories of joy and happiness, stories of success and defeat, stories of pain and sorrow, everything. It’s not about our past but about knowing what we were and how we were earlier, and sometimes we can create connections to understand why we are the way we are now. Sponsor a Bala Samskar Kendras for $1000.00 Approximately each Bala Samskar Kendra costs about $1000.00 per year. The amount can be paid in instalments.  General, we provide snacks every day for children at the end of the school. As Anne Besant said, if we do not protect Bharat, who will guard her? If we do not support it, who will? If we don’t do it now, when will we do it? Let us nourish and nurture the roots of Sanatana Dharma before the roots dry up. Without Hinduism, there would be no Bharat. Her future is in our hands. Play our cards wisely.  SPONSOR A BALA SAMSKAR KENDRA We appreciate your help in sponsoring one or more schools.
