The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has undertaken a wide range of initiatives to protect, preserve, promote, and revive Hindu temples, cultural traditions, and grassroots religious life across India and beyond.
•    Founded in 2006 in the United States under the leadership of Shri Dr. Prakasha Rao Velagapudi, the organization committed itself to protecting Hindu temples, safeguarding Sanatana Dharma, and promoting Hindu culture globally.

•    Between 2006 and 2007, GHHF launched global advocacy efforts, including demonstrations and awareness programs highlighting concerns about state control over Hindu temples.
From 2007 to 2009, the organization undertook large-scale Maha Padayatras across hundreds of villages in multiple districts, which played a major role in awakening rural Hindu society to the importance of temple autonomy and cultural self-respect.

•    From 2010 to 2014, the Foundation focused on preventing encroachment and illegal occupation of temple lands. During this period, sacred sites were protected from illegal takeover, unauthorized constructions were stopped, and neglected temples were brought back into public focus. This phase marked a strong emphasis on legal and ground-level intervention to safeguard temple properties.

•    From 2012 onwards, GHHF significantly expanded its cultural outreach. It organized international symposiums, film festivals, children’s drawing competitions, and river-based devotional initiatives such as Godavari Aarti and Krishna Aarti. Many of these initiatives gained official recognition and helped revive public engagement with Hindu traditions.

•    Between 2015 and 2019, the Foundation strengthened its grassroots presence by expanding Bala Samskara Kendras, restoring Grama Devata temples, and reviving daily dharmic practices in rural communities. These efforts helped reconnect younger generations with Hindu scriptures, values, and cultural identity while restoring temple-centered village life.

•    From 2020-21 during the COVID-19 pandemic, GHHF provided large-scale humanitarian support. Annadanam was distributed to more than two lakh people, priests received dry rations and financial assistance, and hospitals received essential medical equipment, including oxygen generators and ventilators, during the crisis.

•    Between 2022 and 2025, the Foundation intensified its efforts to protect the sanctity of major pilgrimage centers, particularly Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur. It exposed irregularities, submitted official representations to authorities, and increased public awareness about preserving these sacred spaces. GHHF campaigned extensively to have Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur declared Punya Kshetras. The organization further expanded its advocacy through press conferences, public awareness campaigns, protest rallies, international outreach, and initiatives highlighting issues concerning persecuted Hindu communities, including those in Bangladesh.

•    Currently, GHHF operates across ten states in Bharat and runs sixteen ongoing grassroots activities. These include Ghar Wapasi initiatives supported by more than thirty full-time Pracharaks, who work to prevent forced conversions and assist individuals wishing to return voluntarily to Hindu Dharma.

•    The organization also operates nearly 200 Bala Samskara Kendras, which collectively educate more than 4,500 children in Sanatana values, scriptures, cultural traditions, and spiritual heritage.
