The place of temples in Hindu Dharma is supremely sacred. They are not merely places where devotees worship their favorite deity. In truth, they must function as the foundation pillars that uphold Sanatana Dharma and as spiritual, cultural, and service centers for the society. Temples should not be limited to morning and evening lamp lighting and daily pujas; they must become true 'Shakti Kendras' (Centers of Power). Why Must Temples Become Centers of Power? A 'Shakti Kendra' is a center that enlightens the surrounding community. For a temple to become a center of power, it must focus on three main elements: Spiritual Awakening (Ādhyātmika Chaitanyam): Ensure that Dharma Prachar (propagation of Dharma), bhajans, and discourses take place continuously, alongside daily pujas. Social Service (Sāmājika Seva): Conduct service activities like aid for the poor, education initiatives, and health camps from the temple premises itself. Cultural Heritage (Sāmskṛtika Vārasatvam): Pass on Dharma to future generations through Bal Samskar Kendras, encouragement of traditional arts, and religious education. Only if these elements are activated, will the temple not only see devotees come and go, but also become the focal point for the development of the village or colony. The Vision of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has made this goal – that temples must become centers of power – its main agenda. In the SC Colony Ramalayam in Mulagapudi, Nathavaram Mandal, Anakapalli District, the wires and all electrical appliances were recently burnt due to a short circuit. The lack of electricity forced a halt to daily pujas, evening bhajans, and the functioning of the Bal Samskar Kendra. Noticing this, GHHF immediately responded under the leadership of local activists Pothuraju Garu and Raju Garu, and initiated work to install new wires, switchboards, lights, and fans. The problem of a temple is not just a problem for devotees; it is a problem for society. If the temple is not lit, the knowledge and culture that flows from that center of power will stop. We strongly believe that a temple functions as a center of power only by continuously conducting programs like the "Bal Samskar Kendra." Providing an electricity connection to the Mulagapudi SC Colony Ramalayam is not just a form of help; it is a great effort to revitalize the temple. For change to occur in society, temples must regain their former glory. They are not just walls and idols; they must become vibrant centers of religious activity. Every Hindu and every temple committee needs to work with this vision.  Your donations are appreciated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLo2eaEftVQ In Sanatana Dharma, devotion is a sacred bond unrelated to caste or region. Unfortunately, there is a misconception and anguish within the Hindu society that some brothers have been historically kept away from the proximity of God and from performing pujas. The main objective of GHHF's "Pratiinta Shivaradhana" (Shiva Worship in Every Home) program is to tear down these social barriers and instill a sense of equal devotion and self-respect in everyone. GHHF's Focus - The Sound of Shiva in SC/ST Colonies: GHHF is not limiting these programs only to temples; it is primarily focusing on backward areas, especially SC/ST colonies and remote villages. Significance of the Program (In Depth): This is not merely a puja; it is a social movement. * Grassroots Selection: In every area, we select a house or a temple as the center and involve all the local residents. * Equality in Devotion : The right to perform puja belongs to everyone. Therefore, we ensure that every participant performs the Abhishekam to the Shiva Lingam with Panchamrutam, using their own hands. * Seeding Culture: Through this program, misunderstandings are cleared, and social harmony and devotional culture are re-established under the witness of Lord Shiva. Anantapuram's Success Story: This great resolve has already started strongly in Andhra Pradesh. In Anantapuram district alone, we have successfully completed these collective Shiva Abhishekam programs in over 20 villages. Thousands of devotees participated in the puja together without any sense of discrimination. Our Appeal (Expansion): GHHF aims to expand these religious and social programs across the country to hundreds of villages and thousands of families. Your help is essential for us to achieve this great goal. To establish social harmony, to remove misconceptions, and to continue this sacred Shiva Seva in more districts and more SC/ST colonies... Support GHHF financially and be a partner in this great Yajna! Jaya Jaya Shankara! Hara Hara Shankara!  Your donations are appreciated.

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. It is more than a movie. It is a portrayal of a legend who stood for convictions, truth, honesty, dharma, sincerity, fearlessness, and service to humanity. From his childhood, he was disciplined and stood for principles. It is a movie that transcends politics and teaches us to follow drama at any cost. We see a transformation to become a monk, a spiritual figure, a chaplain of dharma, and a Chief Minister. We all remember the saying that “Dharmo Rakshit Rakshitaha” – if you protect dharma, dharma will protect you. That is the belief that shaped his personality, instilled fearlessness, and propelled him to become Chief Minister. His performance, his dialogues, and his expressions appear to be relatable and resonate with the real Chief Minister.  Yogi’s meeting with a Guru, his complete faith in his Guru, his obedience, and his unwavering respect are truly remarkable moments in the movie. Blind belief in the Guru guides the disciple in every way possible. Ananta Joshi, who played the role of Ajey, that is Yogi Adityanath, displayed humility and obedience towards his Guru, Mahant Avaidyanath, reminding us of Lord Rama and Guru Vasista. Guruji's mentorship in guiding Ajey was subtle yet decisive. Ajey learned the importance of dharma and righteousness. Guruji shaped his character, convictions, and compassion. In fact, this reflects the essence of the statement made by Sri Yogi Adityanath himself: "Baba aate nahi prakat hote hain." It translates to "The saint does not come; he reveals himself." Another scene that really touched me is the heart-throbbing agony of the mother expressing her anger, her anguish, and her frustration, which makes one cry with her. She played ably and superbly. Can you imagine a mother who may have her own dreams for his son but turned out to be so different?    This movie starts in a serene, tranquil, somewhat distant village in the Himalaya region, where a young lad emerges as a remarkable monk, head of the Nath tradition, a social reformer, a politician, and the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh.   This is a movie that teaches every politician that he can succeed in politics by espousing Satya and Dharma. One does not have to be corrupt, resorting to mafia tactics, looting the treasury, exploiting the people, pleasing the mafia, and dwelling in vote bank politics. Only weak, insecure, over-jealous, and money-minded, position-hungry, and fame-thirsty resort to adharma. The movie teaches that all politicians can be successful by being spiritual, righteous, and selfless. Inspiration from Shantanu Gupta's acclaimed book led to the creation of this extraordinary movie. Anant Vijay Joshi, in his leading role, acted convincingly, superbly, reflecting the character of Yogi Adityanath. Paresh Rawal, who portrayed the role of Mahant Avaidyanth, was remarkable as a Guru, very balanced, poignant, and subtle in his speech and manners. His conversations with Ajey are memorable, thought-provoking, and unforgettable. Director Ravindra Gautam did an excellent job directing the movie, with each character displaying their roles as expected. Every family should watch with their children to see the importance and richness of the principles of Sanatana Dharma. It is every individual’s responsibility to uphold dharma and stand for morals and ethics. Also, we could make it mandatory for all politicians to see the movie to learn the lessons and essence of our ancient culture embodied in scriptures such as the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Hopefully, we may find one or more politicians to reflect on their political lives, moral convictions, and selfishness. {{album_1465}}

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is always interested in transmitting timeless wisdom to the next generation to ensure that our children learn the richness of our culture. Moral stories at that age will become integral to their beliefs, behaviors, and personality. At a younger age, we should teach them about right and wrong, values, and ethics to shape their future. Once upon a time, in a village, there lived two friends, Aryan and Pragna. They were not afraid of hardship. They faced every task with courage and a strong mind. They had a habit of being disciplined and helping others. In the same village, there were two other children, Kutil and Maya. Kutil was always lazy and afraid of any difficulty. Maya had weak thoughts and was always disheartened, thinking she couldn't do anything. One day, Aryan and Pragna decided to climb a nearby mountain. On the way, they met Kutil and Maya. Aryan asked them to join. Although Kutil and Maya were lazy, they decided to go along with them for a sense of adventure. After walking for some distance, they came across a difficult path. Aryan and Pragna bravely overcame the hardship and moved forward. But Kutil and Maya were scared by the path. Kutil stood still, unable to move forward, and Maya sat down crying, saying, "I can't do this." Just then, a large lizard emerged from a bush towards Kutil and Maya. Seeing it, Kutil and Maya trembled with fear and screamed. Hearing their screams, Aryan and Pragna came back. Seeing their situation and the animal, Aryan and Pragna stood bravely. They shouted without fear, waved their hands, and scared the lizard away. The lizard got scared and ran away. Kutil and Maya sighed in relief and looked at Aryan and Pragna with surprise. Kutil asked, "How were you able to stay so calm? Where did you get so much courage?" Then Aryan explained, "Fear resides in our minds. If we are weak, we get scared of small problems and get stuck in those hardships. We have learned the lesson that 'if we are weak, we will become a sacrifice.'" Then Pragna said, "If we run away in fear, the problem looks bigger. But if we stand and face it with courage, the problem becomes smaller and runs away. That's why we face every hardship bravely." Hearing these words, Kutil and Maya immediately understood their mistake. Then Aryan and Pragna explained a sloka to them. Sloka: Ashwannaiva gajanna vai vyaghram na vaicha naivacha,  ajaputro balim dadyat devo durbalaghatakah. Explanation: No one sacrifices strong animals like a horse, an elephant, or a tiger. But a weak goat is sacrificed. This sloka teaches us that the world is the same. You were scared of a lizard. Many children are afraid of cockroaches, lizards, or dogs and monkeys on the road. But remember, a human is more intelligent and stronger than all of them. They try to scare us by seeing our weakness. If we are brave, no animal will come near us. Not just animals, if we are weak, others in school, in the office, or in society will try to use our weakness to put us in trouble. Aryan and Pragna told them that they could chase the lizard away because they were strong, and Kutil and Maya got into trouble because they were weak. Kutil and Maya immediately understood their mistake. From then on, they began striving to become strong children like Aryan and Pragna. Main Message: Weaknesses are not just physical; it is also mental and in our thoughts. We must be strong in every way. our donations are appreciated.

On October 8th, Thousands of people attended Sri Ravi Shankar’s event, filled with good vibrations and guided meditation, at the Toyota Meditation Factory in Dallas. He discussed Sudershan Meditation and how it can transform one’s life. He described some of the incidents where some people with cancer were cured due to proper meditation. Numerous studies have been conducted and published in scientific journals. We were fortunate to meet him before the event in a private dining area, where he discussed the activities of the Art of Living. He talked to the members of each of the organizations. We were fortunate to meet him and share our books and brochures. We received a copy of his book “The Journey Within.” The organization showed a video about Guruji's life history.  Born in 1956 in Southern India, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar was a gifted child. By the age of four, he was able to recite parts of the Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit scripture, and was often found in deep meditation. Gurudev’s first teacher, Sudhakar Chaturvedi, had a long association with Mahatma Gandhi. By the age of seventeen in 1973, Gurudev had graduated with degrees in both Vedic literature and physics. He talked about the importance of Meditation, and he brought peace across the globe. He mentioned that there are more than 10,000 meditation centers in about 180 countries. He addressed the need to live peacefully and how to achieve a stress-free life. People often worry about what others say and think about them. You keep thinking about others. By dwelling on others, we are affecting our minds and health and harboring negative thoughts. Thus, we are affecting our health by thinking about others.  He says that being angry with others' mistakes is a way of punishing yourself. You are unnecessarily brooding and affecting billions of cells in our body. By not solving the problems of others, we get angry at ourselves. We need to understand ourselves, about our mind, our displaced anger, and how to root out this anger to live peacefully. A stress-free life is everybody’s right. He said, “Stress impacts the way we think, feel, and behave, thus affecting all aspects of our lives. The consequences of letting stress rule are nothing short of disastrous and tragic. Yet it seems so complicated for people to let go of it. Intellectually, you know, “Oh, I shouldn't be upset, I shouldn't be annoyed. I shouldn't lose my temper.” But in practical life, it doesn't translate into reality. When that moment comes, when the negativity comes like a flood, it just overpowers you and throws you off balance.” Mediation classes are being conducted all over the world, and are also being undertaken in classes and prisons, also making hard-core criminals’ spokespersons for peace. In his speech, Sri Ravi Shankar mentioned that the UN General Assembly declared World Meditation Day to be observed on December 21 each year.  To promote mindfulness and well-being, the United Nations has declared World Day of Meditation. Here are key points about this observance: •    It is celebrated annually on December 21st to encourage meditation practices. •    Aims to raise awareness about the benefits of meditation for mental health. •    Encourages individuals to take time for self-reflection and inner peace. •    Promotes global harmony and understanding through mindfulness. •    Supports various meditation techniques and traditions from around the world. •    Invites communities to organize events and workshops to share meditation practices. He conducted guided meditation for about 27 minutes. More than 4000 people attended and participated in the meditation. He guided them every minute on how to breathe and when to breathe, how to sit, how to coordinate the palm and eyes, and how to visualize each part of the body. {{album_1462}}

The Dharma Prachar Yajna of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation continues relentlessly. The 'Prati Inta Ramanamam' (Bhagawan Nama on Every House) program is surging ahead on the path of victory, with the successful completion of writing the name of Bhagawan on every house in the 505th village. With the completion of the program in Bennavaram village, Nathavaram Mandal, Anakapalli district, Andhra Pradesh, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has successfully finished this great work in 505 villages so far, ushering in a new chapter. This program is not just about painting the names of Bhagawan; it is a great movement that instills spiritual awakening and Hindu unity in every village. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation activists went to every house and, with the help of stencils, painted slogans like 'Jai Sri Ram,' 'Om Namah Shivaya,' and 'We are Hindus,' thereby awakening feelings of devotion and self-respect among the people. Initiating a New Awakening Through this program, the forgotten spiritual feelings among the villagers have blossomed again. In particular, the slogan 'We are Hindus' has greatly contributed to the unity of the Hindu community. The villages where this program has been completed are now safe from religious conversion gangs. Since the name of Bhagawan and the slogan 'We are Hindus' are present on every house, proselytizers from other religions are afraid to enter those villages. With the completion of this program in Bennavaram village, this successful journey is inspiring many more people. People are eagerly coming forward, requesting that this program be conducted in their villages as well. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation extends special congratulations to every activist who made this great victory possible, to the cooperating villagers, and to everyone who is part of this Maha Yajna.  Your donations are appreciated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dyP6XlhZ54  This is not merely the installation of a board; it is a Dharma Revolution undertaken by the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) for the protection of Hindu Dharma! You are aware that GHHF is moving forward with the goal of establishing 'Global Hindu Villages.' Recently, we reached another historic milestone in Anantapuram District. By uniting all the local Hindus in Nanjapuram village, Brahmasamudram Mandal, we passed a crucial resolution to 'Prohibit the propagation of other religions' and installed the corresponding sign board. Nanjapuram's Slogan – A Clear Goal! The single slogan proclaimed on the board we installed in Nanjapuram village is: "All the residents in our village are Hindus. The propagation of other religions is prohibited." This slogan is not just letters on a board; it is our firm resolve to protect the faith of the local Hindu brothers and sisters. Behind this lies a robust system of our Bal Samskar Kendras, Dharma Jagruti programs, and many other initiatives involving the participation of the villagers. This is a Movement – Be a Part of It! This movement to unite the Hindu society against religious conversions is not limited only to Anantapuram. We need your support to be a part of this Dharma Yatra and to fill every remote village in the country with culture and Dharma! Every village must become Nanjapuram, and the expansion of Hindu religious activities must take place in every village. Your donations are appreciated.

On the evening of October 4th, approximately 16 GHHF activists were fortunate enough to meet with Dr. Dasari, who shared his lifelong dedication to serving society and his continued commitment to upholding Dharma. Currently, he serves as the Chairman of the Dharma Parirakshana Samiti Trust at TTD. He is a respected retired IAS Officer, a visionary administrator, a social reformer, and an author.  Dasari Srinivasulu Garu is known for his dedicated service in various government roles and his continued involvement in social causes through writing and activism. Throughout his nearly three-decade-long administrative career, he held several key field positions, gaining deep exposure to welfare programs, land regulations, labor laws, cooperative sectors, and rural development, with a special focus on tribal development. All 16 members who attended the meeting introduced themselves and discussed their contributions to Sanatana Dharma.  Later, Pinnamaneni Sreenivas and Rajesh Thunuguntla spoke at length, explaining the 16 activities of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation at the ground level, and hope to work with Dr. Dasari Garu. These are some of the highlights of his presentation to the groups as prepared by Chandra Movva and Prashant Nanganuri. •    He has been aware of the work of GHHF since 2017.  He acknowledged our contribution to the construction of the Vakula Mata Temple. •    He praised Dr. Prakasarao Garu, suggesting that he should be respectfully addressed as Guruji instead of Uncle. •    He appreciated GHHF's work in staying the GO 21 during the YSR regime. •    He appreciated Bala Samskar Kendras being conducted on Sundays. •    He also acknowledged our efforts to protect TTD – especially the declaration of Tirumala. Tirupati and Tiruchanur are designated as Divya Kshetra, competing with Mumtaj Hotel, Lulu Mall, and a Tablighi Jamaat gathering. •    Dr. Srinivasulu Dasari is a permanent invitee to TTD; he can attend and recommend/influence all the TTD board meetings. •    He has a long association with RSS, VHP, and BJ. •    He served as the Chairman of Samarasata Seva Foundation, overseeing the construction of Hindu Temples in villages. •    He commended the Bala Sanskar Kendras and other activities run by GHHF and emphasized that Sunday Schools are the need of the hour. He built 500 temples with an estimated cost of ₹ 25 crores. •    He advised making use of government schemes for Dhupa Dipa Naivedyam, Archaka training, and other temple-related support; grants Rs. 5000 for each Temple. •    He stressed the importance of Panchalayam, where temples could serve as centers for five key aspects: Vidyalaya (education), Vaidyalayam (health), Grandhalayam, promote arts, etc. •    He runs a non-profit organization called Sanchar. He highlighted the contributions of various nomadic groups in propagating Hinduism, while also noting their current economic neglect, including those of Gangireddula, Budabukkala, Poosala, Erukulasani, and Haridasulu. •    Also, through his NGO Sanchari, young girls from these nomadic groups are provided early education and later secured their admission into government-run welfare hostels, thus securing their future. •    2500 girls have been educated to date over the past 13 years. The government-sanctioned grant of Rs. 15k to parents for every girl child enrolled in education. Protect the nomad team from exploitation by the police or government and establish a network of officials to provide support in times of need. I sent a message on Monday thanking him for his service to Sanatana Dharma. He responded by saying: “Kind of you Guruji. Good that I could have a good time with your team in the name of divinity. Prof. Madem is a spirited Naareemani. My special regards and respects to her. GHHF is energetic under your able hands. Thanks for the rousing reception.”                                               ----- Dasari Srinivasulu.   {{album_1460}}      

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7_4rkqZ3iQ Watching this video will make you understand the extent of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's (GHHF) efforts to protect Hindu Dharma, even in the dense forest regions of Alluri Sitarama Raju district. However, this one example is enough to demonstrate how dire the situation is here: Rakoḍ village, Rampachodavaram Mandal! In this small village of only 120 families, 40 families have been converted and a staggering 4 churches have been built for them! This clearly shows how aggressive the proselytization attempts by Christian missionaries are here, and how they are deceiving our innocent tribal brothers and sisters. That is why, with the aim of countering those attempts and protecting our traditions, GHHF organized Archaka training for the ST tribal brothers. The person you are seeing in this video is Sri Toorla Srinivasa Reddy Garu from Rakoḍ village. Though he is busy with his personal work, he learned this training with the resolve to contribute something to Dharma. Now, he is personally performing pujas in the temple of his own village. This is one of the many programs we are conducting to strengthen our tribal brothers' community and accompany them on their spiritual journey. This is only the first phase of the training. We will soon be providing them with the second phase of training as well. Your support is very essential for the programs we are doing and will be doing. Your donations are appreciated.
