(NOTE: It was part of a Summer Sanatan Class conducting ever Sundy. We talked about the importance Homa and Agnihotra rituals practiced by Temples and individuals. Just to prove how a 5000-year-old ritual is kept alive in Kerala and how scientific it is.) In April 2011, the sleepy village of Panjal in Kerala came alive with sacred chants, ritual fires, and the collective hopes of thousands. The occasion: Athirathram, one of the world’s oldest and most complex Vedic rituals, performed after a 35-year hiatus. Revered as the ultimate expression of Vedic spirituality, this 12-day fire ceremony was not only a religious spectacle but also a bridge between ancient tradition and modern scientific inquiry. Organized by the Varthathe Trust, Athirathram 2011 drew over 300,000 visitors from across India and abroad. The ritual, dating back to at least the 10th century BCE, integrates the chanting of Rig, Sama, and Yajur Vedas, offerings into a meticulously constructed fire altar, and a ceremonial burning of the Yagashala (ritual hall) on the final night. Held at the Lakshmi Narayana temple precincts, the event was presided over by Yajamana Ramanujan Akkithiripad and his wife, as per sacred tradition. What astonished many was the sudden downpour that drenched the altar during the concluding rites, following days of dry, hot weather. The rain’s timing evoked memories of similar phenomena during previous Athirathrams in 1975, 1990, and 2006. Many devotees interpreted the rain as divine acknowledgment of the ritual’s success. But Athirathram 2011 was not just a spiritual or cultural celebration—it was a field of study. A team led by Dr. V.P.M. Nampoothiri, former director of the International School of Photonics at Cochin University, conducted atmospheric and biological research during the event. Their focus: the impact of Vedic mantras and sacrificial fire on the environment, microorganisms, plant life, and even the mental state of participants. Noted scholars from institutions like Harvard, Berkeley, and Kyoto Sangyo University attended, fascinated by the unbroken continuity of oral Vedic traditions. Indologist Prof. Frits Staal, who had documented the 1975 Athirathram in his seminal two-volume work Agni, praised the 2011 event as a triumph of the human spirit and cultural preservation. Japanese Sanskrit scholar Michio Yano highlighted the ritual’s intricate mathematical and geometrical underpinnings. The altar’s bird-shaped design, he explained, followed ancient algorithms found in the Sulbasutras—Vedic texts on geometry. Such insights revealed how Athirathram embodies a deep confluence of science, spirituality, and art. Culturally, the event broke barriers. Traditionally exclusive, the 2011 Athirathram welcomed people from all castes and communities. Over 300 women, symbolically dressed as brides, participated in prasadam offerings, while daily annadanam (community meals) fed nearly 40,000 people. At its core, Athirathram symbolizes harmony—between humans and nature, between science and faith, between the past and the present. Whether one sees the rain as a miracle, a meteorological coincidence, or an outcome of ritualistic intention, the ritual’s message remains timeless: reconnect with nature, honor ancient wisdom, and strive for universal well-being. In an age of ecological anxiety and spiritual seeking, the flames of Athirathram light a path forward—not by turning away from modernity, but by embracing a deeper heritage that still speaks to our future. Benefits of Athirathram  •    Rains at the end of the ritual •    Air purification •    Positive effect on plant growth •    Mental peace and clarity •    Proves the scientific nature of the ritual observed over 4000 years ago Athirathram is more than a religious ritual—it is a multidimensional practice that harmonizes ancient wisdom with environmental consciousness, social inclusiveness, and scientific curiosity. Its benefits ripple through individuals, communities, and ecosystems, making it a powerful tool for spiritual and ecological healing.

Prakasarao V Velagapudi, PhD President, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. On this International Day of Yoga on June 21,   we will try to address yoga, its importance, its relevance to the youth, its benefits, its role in bringing unity and harmony among individuals as well as in the universe, and the importance of ashtanga yoga – that is, the eight limbs of Patanjali Yoga. The theme of International Day of Yoga has been decided by the United Nations as “Yoga for well-being”  India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his address to the UN General Assembly in September 2014, had asked world leaders to adopt an international Yoga Day, saying “Yoga embodies unity of mind and body; thought and action; restraint and fulfillment; harmony between man and nature; a holistic approach to health and wellbeing.  Yoga is not just about exercise; it is a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world, and the nature.” PM Narendra Modi led the 11th International Day of Yoga in Visakhapatnam on June 21, 2025. He said that Yoga can promote peace amid the ongoing conflicts across the globe. Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan also participated in the Yoda session.  PM Modi said, “Unfortunately, today the entire world is going through some tension, unrest, and instability have been increasing in many regions. In such times, Yoga gives us the direction of peace. Yoga is the pause button that humanity needs to breathe, balance, and become whole again,” “Human well-being depends on the health of the soil that grows our food, the rivers that give us water, the health of the animals that share our ecosystems, and the plants that nourish us. Yoga awakens us to this interconnectedness, leads us on a journey towards oneness with the world, and teaches us that we are not isolated individuals but part of nature.” For millennia, our ancient Rishis have recognized the importance of controlling or subduing the mind in order to live a peaceful, harmonious, and unified life. Because the mind is the most difficult to restrain, control or silence.  International Yoga Day 2025 Theme: “Yoga for One Earth, One Health.”  Protect Earth What is 'Yoga for One Earth, One Health?' Mass events, environmental drives, and inclusive sessions mark the celebrations, encouraging people to embrace yoga as a daily habit for a balanced, eco-conscious life. “Earth Day was celebrated on April 22nd of every year. In Indian tradition, the entire Prithvi or Earth is akin to our mother, and she belongs to everyone – all living beings – all flora and fauna. Save Mother Earth! Save all life on the planet!” Rig Veda 1:164:33 In Vedic culture, the earth is considered the divine mother and human-beings as her offspring. Thus, to the Vedic people, the Earth was an object of worship, and its bountiful natural resources were utilized to meet the bare minimum needs for the survival of the human-race and not for satisfying its endless greed and wants.  A Hymn in Prithvi Sukta in Atharva Veda, is the foremost inspirational ecological proclamation. Through this, we earnestly vouch for the ever-lasting allegiance to Mother Earth befitting a son: Mata Bhumih Putroham Prithivyah- Earth is my mother, I am her son. Rig Veda (8.8.49.4) contemplates that ‘United be your purpose, harmonious be your feelings, collected be your mind, in the same way as all the various aspects of the universe exist in interconnectedness, wholeness and oneness’.  Prithvi Sukta says ‘O Mother Earth! Be kind to us and bestow happiness upon us. May you be fertile, arable, and nourisher of all? May you continue supporting people of all races and nations?’ Other celebrated Vedic references concerning the conservation of nature are do not cut trees because they remove pollution (Rig Veda 6:48:17); one should protect the habitation (Rig Veda 6:71:3); do not disturb the sky and do not pollute the atmosphere (Yajur Veda 5:43) etc. Through these, Mother Earth’s blessings are sought for the prosperity of all animate and inanimate entities and the fulfilment of all righteous aspirations of the human race. We solemnize Mother Earth for all her natural bounties, especially for her gifts of water, herbs and vegetation, and we pray for the wellness of the sky, hills, mountains, rivers, clouds, seas and oceans and wish that all components of earth remain healthy.  One Health:  The state of the environment has a direct impact on our health as well. Everyone benefits when we take care of our environment and ourselves. Maintaining good health is crucial for fulfilling life, impacting physical, mental, and emotional well-being, productivity, and even financial stability. The environment and human health are inextricably linked. A healthy environment is essential for supporting human life and well-being for a healthy society. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, chemicals we use in the house, buildings and neighborhoods we live and work in can all contribute to environmental health problems, sometimes by disrupting how the body works. Environment relates to many health problems such as asthma, cancer, weight gain, lethargy, Parkinson disease, and others.  Ayurveda, an ancient Indian system of medicine, focuses on preserving health and wellness through a holistic approach that balances mind, body, and spirit. It emphasizes disease prevention and maintaining harmony within oneself and with nature. Key aspects include understanding one's unique constitution (Prakriti), balancing the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha), and adopting a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and mindful practices. World Health Organization says “Good Health of the nation depends on clean air, a stable climate, a preserved natural environment, as well as access to adequate water, sanitation and hygiene. It also requires protection from harmful radiation, unsafe chemical management and unhealthy working conditions. A healthy environment could prevent nearly a quarter of the global disease burden.” Vedic culture taught us that human beings are not the supreme species and have no right to dominate or conquer other entities. Vedas advised us to live in a co-existential mindset. Ishavasya Upanishad verse-1 says that Isavasyamidam sarvam yatkinca jagatyam jagat; Tena tyaktena bhunjitha ma grdhah kasya sviddhaman; meaning that ‘All natural resources belong to the God and our share is the bare minimum necessary for survival and earn without committing sins.”  How “Yoga for One Earth and One Health” is related to Yoga and meditation. We all have the responsibility to ensure that all sustaining components Mother Earth are preserved and protected. We must be motivated and take ownership in protecting Mother Earth from different points of view. As Rigveda says, after all, ‘Wisdom comes to a man, who meditates, acts and lives according to the true eternal laws of Nature' (Rig Veda). How Meditation helps us to protect Mother Earth and the Health of a Nation? Paramahansa Yogananda recognized the difficulty and compared the controlling mind with impossible incidents as follows:  “You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.”  If the mind is that difficult to control, what can be done to quell, still or silence the mind. Patanjali Yoga Sutras written sometime between 500 BCE and 400 BCE. It contains four chapters containing 195 Sutras (aphorisms). The whole book hinges on the second sutra “yogah citta-vá¹›tti-nirodhaḥ.”(“Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind”).  Yoga means of “joining the individual soul to the universal soul” or removing the barriers between the two souls to become one.  “Yoga is that single universal principle which balances the entire universe. All elements, visible and invisible, as well as all stars, moons and sun systems, are entirely sustained by the balancing principle of Yoga.” Swami Maheshwarananda Yoga and Meditation have many positive effects on physical and mental health, reduce stress and anxiety, improve educational achievements,  mental growth, school performance and many such advantages.  In the USA, the number of yoga practitioners has increased to more than 37 million, up from 20.4 million in 2012. Globally, more than 300 million people are practicing yoga. Also, thirty-four percent of Americans or 80 million people say they are likely to try yoga for the first time in the next 12 months. “What's fascinating is the data shows that those who practice and teach yoga have measurably better perceptions of their individual strength, balance, dexterity, and mental clarity versus non-practitioners," said Yoga Alliance Executive Director and COO, Barbara Dobberthien.                Mayo Clinic asks a question, “is yoga right for you?” It says, “It is if you want to fight stress, get fit and stay healthy”. Numerous studies have well documented the wealth of information on the health and spiritual benefits of yoga. Yoga credited with the reduction of stress and anxiety while at the same time it enhanced the mood and overall well-being. It helped reduce risk factors for chronic diseases, such as heart diseases and high blood pressure, alleviated chronic conditions such as depression, pain and insomnia. It is attributed to improved balance, flexibility in mind and body, range of emotions and strength. Benefits also include muscle strength and tone, improved respiration, energy and vitality, weight reduction, improved athletic performance and increased blood flow.                The study conducted by Richard Davidson at the University of Wisconsin revealed that consistent yoga practice led to a significant increase in the serotonin levels and a decrease in the levels of monoamine oxidase (an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters) and cortisol.   He also reported that the left prefrontal cortex showed heightened activity in meditators, a finding that has been correlated with greater levels of happiness and better immune function. More dramatic left-sided activation was found in dedicated, long-term practitioners. The NIH's Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says that yoga – like any exercise – "might improve quality of life; reduce stress; lower heart rate and blood pressure; help relieve anxiety, depression, and insomnia; and improve overall physical fitness, strength, and flexibility." The center also says "a carefully adapted set of yoga poses" may ease lower back pain.  School Yoga Jessica Mei Gershen, a certified yoga instructor who teaches yoga to children at Brooklyn Yoga Project and founder of Yoga for All Needs, recommends making yoga playful and fun for kids, whether in the classroom or at home. In her yoga classes, Gershen weaves in fun games and stories with positive themes like compassion, gratitude, and strength. “Yoga is really effective because it’s so tangible. Learning physical postures builds confidence and strength as well as the mind-body connection,” Gershen says. She also has found that the effects of yoga go beyond physical fitness and also allow kids to build confidence and awareness beyond the classroom. “Through yoga, kids start to realize that they are strong and then are able to take that strength, confidence, acceptance, and compassion out into the world,” notes Gershen.                Yoga will help the youth to improve fitness and physical health, reduce stress and anxiety, improve optimism, improve focus, and school performance, improve self-esteem and body image, encourage creativity, improved attention span, improved memory, overall academic improvement, and develop discipline and self-regulation,  In a recent book on yoga education in India, A. Balkrishna claims that “in a nutshell, yoga is a powerful medium for developing the personality of children and making them capable of facing the present-day challenges and problems” [p. 3]. In her review article, “Effect of Yoga on Mental Health in Children,” one of the world’s most prominent yoga researchers, Shirley Telles, concludes that yoga improves children’s physical and mental well-being . Similarly, the Harvard professor Sat Bir Khalsa  finds that yoga in schools helps students improve resilience, mood, and self-regulation skills pertaining to emotions and stress. Thus, yoga is an important life skill tool for children and young people to cope with stress and self-regulation from a life-long perspective. Yoga for the Special Child, developed by Sonia Sumar, is designed to enhance the natural development of children with disabilities. The gentle and therapeutic style of yoga can be used for both babies and children with disabilities. Yoga for the Special Child incorporates yoga poses to increase flexibility and strength with breathing and relaxation techniques to increase focus and reduce hyperactivity.  A healthy body and mind are important for the development of all children. At all grade levels, from preschool through high school, students have shown improved academic and behavioral performance when yoga has been introduced in the school. The Association for School Yoga and Mindfulness continues to advocate for the inclusion of students with disabilities in school yoga programs, emphasizing, once again, that physical activity (yoga, in this case) is for everybody.  Individual Transformation is essential The individual and society are complementary and supplementary to each other. Yoga plays a pivotal role in establishing the purposeful life among youth who can shape the future of the society. Yoga helps us to become physically and mentally healthy. Without healthy individuals, a healthy society is not possible. Without a healthy society, humanity cannot be at peace. The healthy and transformed individual, in turn, will build up healthy society without any discrimination of caste, creed, colors etc. The practice of Yama Niyamas makes them purify and clean.   Therefore, the desirable personal and ethical values help to purify themselves and to transform society. The individual is constantly engaged in examining one’s values. One must recognize that the practice of Yama and Niyama values bring integrity, contentment and peace and bliss; while indifference to these values bring confusion, conflicts, miseries, and misfortunes to themselves and the society. Therefore, the application of yoga for social well-being and social transformation is essential. Practice of Yoga principles is even more important to live as a productive citizen of the country. Ajay Bharadwaj stated that, “ When the sun of yoga will shine over the horizon of the world and society today, the social evils, all the immoral and inhuman behavior will disappear, and the dream of a peaceful, prosperous, blissful, and transformed society will be fulfilled. Yoga, indeed, immerses a person into the essence of Satyam-Shivam-Sundaram and Sat-chit-Ananda (Truth-Bliss-and Consciousness) and therefore, the society having such persons is like a heaven on the earth.”  Yoga is for the humanity  Yoga works on one’s body, mind, and soul. Therefore, it is known as the global art. When our body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, we will bring health and harmony to the world-not by withdrawing from the world but by being a healthy living organ of the body of humanity. Therefore, yoga is for the whole world and humanity. Human suffering is the same. We all are humans. Everyone needs physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing for a peaceful, prosperous, and blissful life. And yoga in fact, serves this purpose. Irrespective of the nation and religion, problems facing the body and mind are the same.   Diseases and sufferings know no caste, religion or nation, and yoga is given to cure those diseases.  Maharshi Patanjali describes yoga as Sarva Bhauma, that means Universal. Universal monarch  Maharshi Patanjali in Yogasutra 2-31 says:  “Jatides kala samyama vachchhinnah sarvbhauma mahavratam”  “The great vow of restraint is universal to all earthly objects unbound by the conditions of time, place, birth lineage or family.”  The practice of five restraints (Yamas) --- non-violence, truthfulness, non-stealing, devotion to Divine and study or Divine-study, non-attachment --- should be applied universally regardless of religion, time,  or the country.    Thus, yoga is a Universal culture, or it has Universal appeal? It was evident when 175 nations in the United Nations voted to declare June 21st as International Day of Yoga. This year is even important to observe due to the pandemic that created havoc among people across the globe creating stress, anxiety, depression, isolation, and helplessness.  Thus, yoga is meant for the development of the whole of mankind on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels. Yoga is playing a significant role in rehabilitation of Covid patients and people in quarantine. It is yoga which can give permanent solutions associated with environmental and health problems. {{album_1398}}

Global Hindu Heritage is extremely happy to announce that we started Bala Samskar Kendra in Rajasthan about a year ago and a number of students is increasing. Now we have about 75 students enrolled in our classes. They are learning about the basics of Hinduism, learning and singing Bhajans, performing Surya Namaskar on a regular basis.      The uniqueness of these students is that many of them came to India from Pakistan. They are enjoying the freedom they were denied in Pakistan. They are fearless and feel courageous. Surya Namaskar, also known as Sun Salutation, is a sequence of 12 yoga poses performed in a flowing manner, typically in the morning, and is believed to harmonize the body, breath, and mind. It offers numerous physical and mental benefits, including improved flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health, as well as stress reduction and increased energy. It is necessary for students to do yoga asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Surya Namaskar (or Sun Salutation), a comprehensive and fun-to-do workout, is a set of well-designed and extremely powerful 12 yoga poses. Surya Namaskar is the simplest yet effective, yoga pose sequence for children – a great way to start the day by thanking the Sun. Surya Namaskaras offers numerous benefits for students, including improved physical and mental well-being. Regular practice can boost concentration, memory, and energy levels, while also enhancing physical strength, flexibility, and a calm mind.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation in Assam is working hard to communicate and make Hindu families aware of the Muslim plans to woo Hindu girls and marry them deceptively. Many young girls are trapped and converted to Islam forcibly. Sri Samrat Dutt, a member of the Board of Directors, explains the nature of Love Jihad and what it means to Hindu girls. He explained that Romeo jihad is an Islamophobic conspiracy theory that purports that Muslim men target Hindu women for conversion to Islam by means such as seduction, feigning love, deception, kidnapping, and marriage, as part of a broader demographic "war" by Muslims against India, and an organized international conspiracy, for domination through demographic growth and replacement. GHHF Assam prepared booklet on Love Jihad and started distributing to Hindu families to make them aware of the deceptive trapping of their young girls. It explains as to how Muslims are well-planned, very well-organized, fully funded, and strategically managed to trap Hindu girls.  Love Jihad’s strategies change, from luring non-Muslim girls to Muslim boys using sham Hindu names, to the extent of kidnapping girls to convert them to Islam. However, the most sophisticated strategy of all is rarely talked about, which is known as the 5-point plan of Love Jihad. Executed through 5 carefully orchestrated steps, which are widely used to trap and convert Hindu girls mainly in Kerala and also in other parts of India. Community Leaders joined us to distribute the booklet BJP district Vice President Biplab Kanti Paul who is also intending MLA contestants in 2026 rang up Samratji and requested to give 100 Booklet on Love Jihad which we are distributing regularly. He was also invited as guest speaker at the function where they felicitated 110 girls of SC community for their remarkable result in class X examination. Ronojit Baishnab from our organization went there and handed over 100 books. I am happy that he himself distributed these books to all the girls present there.  Till today GHHF Assam team visited 2500 Hindu houses and distributed this book let.  Biplab Kanti Paul observed our work, and he appreciated our work and expressed that GHHF is the only organization in Assam who are actively working in countering love jihad. Messages like this appear everywhere on social media. “If the girl is from the Kshatriya Hindu community, the cash reward would be Rs 4.5 lakhs, Gujarat Brahmin girl Rs 6 lakhs, Punjabi Hindu Rs 6 lakhs, Christian Roman Catholic Rs 4 lakhs, Christian Protestant Rs 3 lakhs, Jain Rs 3 lakhs, Gujarati Kutch girl Rs 3 lakhs.”     But the well-funded, secular and anti-Hindu media does not acknowledge the chaos caused to Hindu girls. So many cases are reported and many girls openly talked about their torture. Media keeps talking about alleged love Jihad.      GHHF is committed to expose the cruelty and torture experienced by Hindu girls in the hands of Muslim boys who pretend to be Hindus.  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.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTHsaxtr59E The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is relentlessly working to enhance spiritual activities and spread the message of devotion among the public. With this objective, the Foundation has been consistently providing free mike sets to small temples that are not financially strong. As part of this ongoing initiative, a mike set was recently delivered to the Shiva Temple in Narayanapuram village, located in Kalyanadurgam Mandal, Anantapur District. The committee members of the Narayanapuram Shiva Temple devoutly conduct Abhishekas, Pujas, and Bhajans every Monday. Driven by a desire to make their programs more effective and widely accessible, they approached the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation for a mike set. Responding promptly to their request, the Foundation dispatched the necessary mike set to the Shiva Temple. This mike set will significantly enhance the spiritual ambiance of the weekly Monday pujas and bhajans at the temple. Devotees, especially those coming from a distance, will now be able to clearly hear the sounds and immerse themselves in devotion. This mike set will be immensely beneficial in fostering a spiritual atmosphere among the villagers and encouraging communal Bhajan programs. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to continuing such sacred initiatives and providing assistance to many more temples. The Foundation earnestly appeals to donors who wish to be part of this virtuous endeavor to come forward and offer their support. With your generosity, together we can light the lamps of devotion in numerous temples.  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.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKKs4URV2nE With the visionary efforts of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF), the restoration project of ancient temples, some nearly 70 years old, in Erragauntla village, Dornala Mandal, Nandyal District, Rayalaseema, has heralded a new spiritual era. As the National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh visited the village to oversee this crucial project. This visit not only spurred the revival of temples but also ignited a spiritual and social awakening in the village. Warm Welcome and the Revival of Ancient Shrines Upon Rajesh arrival in Erragauntla village, he was greeted with immense warmth and affection by the village elders, committee members, and the local residents. Their respect and love clearly demonstrated the villagers' dedication to the work being done by GHHF. From there, Rajesh was led directly to the ancient Sri Anjaneya Swamy Temple and Sivalayam, which have been revered by the villagers for generations, dating back almost 70 years. These temples, once on the verge of dilapidation and disappearance into oblivion, have miraculously come back to life through GHHF's initiative. Following the comprehensive repair and restoration work carried out under GHHF's aegis, these temples have regained their former glory and divine aura. Witnessing these shrines, transformed from a state of disrepair to newfound splendor, Rajesh expressed profound satisfaction. He described it not just as the restoration of a building but as bringing life back to a spiritual center that has existed for generations. Dharmic Gathering: Spiritual Programs and Social Responsibilities Following the temple visit, a small Dharmic gathering was organized at the temple premises. In this meeting, Rajesh delivered a crucial message to the villagers and the village committee members. He urged the entire Hindu community to take the lead in organizing and promoting spiritual programs within the village. He emphasized that temples are not merely places of worship but rather spiritual hubs for the community, serving as platforms for fostering Dharmic values. Similarly, Rajesh highlighted the urgent need to raise awareness about religious conversions, a critical issue prevalent in society today. He explained the importance of preventing attempts to mislead innocent people into converting and urged efforts to bring back those who have converted for various reasons, back into the Hindu Dharma. Rajesh reminded the attendees that GHHF's work in this village extends beyond just temple renovations. The foundation is also implementing several comprehensive programs such as the establishment of Bala Samskara Kendras (children's cultural centers), door-to-door Dharma Prachar, the formation of village committees, and inscribing Bhagavan's name on every house.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OX1gySOUNc In a significant triumph, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has successfully halted the illegal construction of a church amidst Hindu residential areas in Gollalagunta village, Jaggampeta Mandal, Kakinada District. This development stands as a prime example of the protection of Hindu Dharma and the unity of the villagers. The Root of the Conflict: Villagers' Concern over Illegal Construction Historically, there were no Christians in Gollalagunta village. For a considerable time, conversion gangs had been attempting to convert families, and unfortunately, succeeded with one family. Using this family as a base, they tried to construct a church in the village. A female pastor named Rayudu Hebbiba (alias Baby), a resident of Samarlakota, along with her associates, attempted to undertake this construction without any Gram Sabha resolution or government permissions. The financial strength to build a church for just one family, and the political power to oppose the entire village, lie with this mafia. GHHF is constantly fighting against such forces. The villagers recognized that this construction would hurt their Hindu sentiments and lead to religious conversions. Deciding to thwart these illegal activities, the villagers approached the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. GHHF Intervention: Guidance from Sri Thota Ramakrishna Immediately upon receiving the villagers' request, Sri Thota Ramakrishna, the GHHF Coordinator for Uttarandhra & Godavari Districts, sprang into action. He directly engaged with the villagers to understand the situation, explaining the consequences of illegal construction and the legal aspects involved. Under Sri Ramakrishna's guidance and direction, all the villagers united and formally lodged a complaint with the Gram Panchayat Secretary regarding the illegal church construction. This complaint galvanized the administrative machinery. Victory: Halting of Illegal Construction Work As a result of the villagers' complaint and GHHF's effective intervention, the illegal church construction work was immediately stopped. This brought immense relief to the villagers and the Hindu community. This victory stands as a testament to GHHF's commitment and its sincerity in addressing public issues. Future Actions: GHHF Stands Strong, Seeks Your Support After the illegal construction was halted, Sri Thota Ramakrishna revisited Gollalagunta village and organized a meeting with the villagers. In this meeting, he congratulated the villagers and praised their unity. He assured them that GHHF would always stand by them in facing any untoward incidents in the future. He urged the villagers to fight together, bravely, and protect Hindu Dharma. This incident not only stopped an illegal construction but also instilled courage and self-confidence in the villagers. The support provided by GHHF will further encourage them to face similar challenges in the future. This victory in Gollalagunta marks a significant milestone in GHHF's ongoing efforts to protect Hindu Dharma and maintain religious harmony. To further expand GHHF's activities and protect Hindu Dharma, your support is crucial. Please support our endeavors.
