Anantapuram District: The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) extended its support for the renovation of the historically significant Kollapuramma Goddess Temple in the SC Colony of Hulikallu Village, Kalyanadurgam Mandal, in the district. On behalf of the organization, we presented the villagers with a new idol of the Kollapuramma Goddess for consecration in the newly constructed temple. Temple Background - Locals' Fight for Dharma Protection: The Kollapuramma Goddess Temple has existed in Hulikallu village for a very long time. Initially a small temple with a wooden idol, it became dilapidated over time. Unfortunately, this area was also touched by the disease of religious conversion. About 70% of the Hindus residing in the colony were converted due to inducements. Yet, the remaining 30% of Hindu brothers did not abandon their roots or their Dharma. They worked hard and with determination to reconstruct the dilapidated temple. As they were waiting for donors to provide an idol for consecration in the newly built temple, GHHF stood by them. GHHF's Efforts - Beginning with Dharma Prachar: Some time ago, our GHHF activists reached Hulikallu village. As part of the Dharma protection programs undertaken by GHHF, we had completed door-to-door Dharma Prachar here as well. We painted the 'Bhagawan Nama' on every house and established a Village Committee. During this process, the Hindus in the SC Colony contacted our activists and expressed their desire for an idol consecration. Recognizing the danger of conversion there and the commitment to Dharma by the locals, GHHF immediately decided to start the work. At their request, we provided them with the new idol of the Goddess. A Miracle Unfolds - The Arrival of the Goddess: The joy of the villagers knew no bounds when they learned that the idol of the Kollapuramma Goddess was arriving in the village. A festive atmosphere prevailed throughout the village. The idol of the Goddess was placed on a tractor and taken from the village outskirts to the temple in a magnificent procession. A great miracle occurred during this festival. Every household welcomed the Goddess. It is noteworthy that even those who had converted due to allurements, unable to forget their roots, participated in the procession and welcomed the Goddess. This incident once again proved the adage, 'Who can change the roots of the Hindus?' Thus, the Goddess reached the temple. The Vigraha Pratishtha (consecration ceremony) of the Kollapuramma Goddess will be performed soon after finding an auspicious time. GHHF's Goal - The Work Has Just Begun: Our work at GHHF is not complete just by providing the Goddess's idol. In fact, the true Dharma protection and Hindu revival program in this area has just begun. With the blessings of the Kollapuramma Goddess added to the religious activities we will undertake, we hope that a new glory for Hindu Dharma will emerge in Hulikallu.  Your donations are appreciated.

Ethos Foundation and Richwoods Community in Frisco Texas organized Diwali celebrations attended by more than 400 people. The occasion was filled with a number of cultural activities where many youngsters demonstrated their talent by performing dances and singing.   Two proclamations recognizing the contributions of Hindu Community was issued by Matta Shaheen and another one by Keresa Richardson. Mrs. Richardson read the Proclamation on the stage in the presence of Chris Hill, the Collin County Judge since 2018, Police Department from Frisco, Prakasarao Velagapudi, Muniraj Janagarajan , Srikant Konda Reddy and others. Kond Srikant Reddy who worked hard to make the Diwali function a great success, expressed his heartfelt thanks for issuing the Proclamation for Diwali Awareness Day on October 20, 2025. He said that their recognition of this important festival is a meaningful gesture that honors the traditions, heritage, and contributions of Indian Americans across Texas. He was grateful for the two House of Representatives for their leadership and for taking the time to celebrate and spotlight a festival cherished by so many families. He said that their generosity and engagement will make a lasting impact on Hindu community. Diwali symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and hopes over adversity, and your support helps elevate that message of unity, peace, and cultural understanding. By acknowledging Diwali in such an official and public way, you are helping foster inclusivity and strengthening the bonds within our diverse communities. Speaking on the occasion, Prakasarao Velagapudi, President of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, talked about the significance of Diwali and why do we celebrate. He mentioned that on this day, Lord Ram, Ma Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. The citizens of Ayodhya decorated the entire city with the earthen lamps and illuminated it like never before. Also, Pandavas appeared from their 12 years of banishment because of their defeat in the hands of the Kauravas at the game of dice (gambling). The subjects who loved the Pandavas celebrated the day by lighting the earthen lamps. It is also to celebrate the birth of Goddess Lakshmi Devi.  The proclamations recognized the contribution of Indian Americans for greatly enriching the area’s cultural, civic, and economic activity; for embracing the values of mutual respect and harmony, for stressing the essential role of the family in building a strong community foundation, for sharing a rich cultural heritage that strengthens the diversity and vibrancy of the Collin county, and for instilling moral character in the next generation to prepare them as good citizens and effective leaders.  We all want to thank Konda Srikant Reddy and his team for organizing the Diwali, the festival of Light, getting the whole community involved, giving opportunity for children to demonstrate their talents on the stage and providing an occasion for people to meet as a Hindu community.  Wishing a very Diwali to all.  {{album_1469}}

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBsDq-yqdl0 After being trapped in the allure of Christianity for nearly 20 years, Sadashivarao and Dhanalakshmi, a couple from Guntur district, broke free from the illusion of the conversion mafia and proudly returned to their Mother Dharma, Hinduism, thanks to the initiative of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF). Dhanalakshmi Garu, who had immense devotion for Lord Shiva since childhood, started attending the Thota Church in Pedakakani, Guntur, since 2005, under the common secular Hindu illusion that 'all religions are the same,' but she did not take baptism. The story of this couple exemplifies how meticulously the Christian mafia operates. In 2009, when Dhanalakshmi Garu suffered an accident and was in the ICU for 15 days, some Christians exploited her husband Sadashivarao Garu's vulnerability. They instilled fear in him, saying, "If your wife is to survive, you must believe in Jesus," and secretly gave him baptism. After Dhanalakshmi Garu recovered, they went to her and played mind games, saying, "You survived only because of Jesus." They were careful not to let her know about her husband's baptism for a long time. This incident once again proves that these conversion forces are adept at trapping one person without the other's knowledge and creating discord in family bonds. Eventually, Dhanalakshmi Garu was also given baptism. After converting to Christianity and attending church, the teachings and certain elements in the Bible did not give Dhanalakshmi Garu peace of mind. Every time she expressed doubts, the pastors began blackmailing her, "threatening her in the name of Jesus," saying, "if you revert to Hinduism, your family will be destroyed," and "the wrath of Jehovah will come upon you." At this crucial juncture, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) stepped in. Damodara Srinivas Garu from Guntur and the GHHF National General Secretary, Rajesh Garu, personally spoke with the couple. Rajesh Garu, by making them read several passages from the Bible themselves, provided them with a complete understanding of the facts. Moreover, he explained about many families who had previously been lured by religious temptations but returned to Hindu Dharma through GHHF, and how happy they are now. This counseling and the courage instilled through facing the facts completely removed the fear from their hearts. The Shuddhi (Ghar Wapsi) ceremony was grandly organized by GHHF. Pundit Ravi Garu scientifically conducted the puja rituals and welcomed them back to the Mother Dharma. GHHF activists Saketh and Karimullah took responsibility and successfully completed this historic program. As the couple's nearly 20-year association with Christianity concluded, Sadashivarao and Dhanalakshmi returned to their native Sanatana Hindu Dharma and found peace of mind. This incident once again makes it clear how dangerous a lack of awareness about religious matters is in the name of "secularism." Every Hindu family must awaken to prevent such dangers. Ghar Wapsi is not a conversion; it is our return to our roots, our heritage. GHHF continues such programs across the country. If there are families around you who are being targeted by religious allurements, immediately contact GHHF activists. "Every Hindu must awaken! Know your Dharma, your Gods, and your Culture." "Jai Sri Ram! Om Namah Shivaya!"  Your donations are appreciated.

Bala Samskar Kendras talked about Dr A P L Abdul Kalam, who was born on October 15, 1931, in the pilgrimage center of Rameswaram in Tamil Nadu. His father, Jainulabdeen Marakayar, was a boat owner and imam of a local mosque; his mother, Ashiamma, was a housewife. His father owned a ferry that took Hindu pilgrims back and forth between Rameswaram and Dhanushkodi. As a young boy, he sold newspapers in order to add to the family's meager income.  From a Little Paper Boy to the Head of the Nation A long time ago, Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam was born into a poor family in Rameswaram, Tamil Nadu. His father rented out boats. Due to poverty in his childhood, he used to sell newspapers to help his family while continuing his studies. From a young age, he had a great passion for education and for flying airplanes in the sky. It was then that he decided to dream a big dream. Young Abdul Kalam completed his Engineering degree and dreamt of becoming a pilot in the Air Force. He worked very hard for this dream, wrote the exams, and attended the interview. But only nine people were required for those posts, and Kalam was in the tenth position. That meant he failed to achieve his dream. Kalam became very disappointed. Saddened by the failure of his dream, he met Swami Sivananda near the Himalayas one day and shared his grief. Swami Sivananda gave Kalam a crucial piece of advice: "Do not be disheartened if what you are striving for is not attained. This failure is an indication that God has reserved a different, greater goal for you. Give peace to your mind. Look for the greatness within you elsewhere." Hearing these words brought a new strength to Kalam. He shifted his focus and began working in the field of science. It was then that he found great mentors like Professor Vikram Sarabhai. Inspired by them, he started developing missile systems and satellites for our nation. Due to Kalam's efforts, India was able to create missiles like Agni and Prithvi. Therefore, the nation proudly called him the 'Missile Man of India'. Kalam used to read the Bhagavad Gita as well as the sacred Tamil text, Thirukkural. The principle of 'Karma Yoga' (performing actions without attachment to the results) from the Bhagavad Gita deeply influenced his life and his work as a scientist. He had a special reverence for the Second Chapter of the Bhagavad Gita and often quoted its essence. Furthermore, he lived his entire life like a Karma Yogi, serving the nation until the very end. He served as the 11th President of our country and became an inspiration to millions. Whether in office or not, he always preferred to be among children and students. He always encouraged children, saying, "Dream big. Those dreams turn into thoughts. Those thoughts turn into actions and give you success." In 2015, he breathed his last while delivering a lecture to students. This means that until his last moment, he was dedicated to inspiring students. Teacher Tasks Discussion After the Story (Analysis): ●    What advice did Swami Sivananda give to Kalam when he failed? ●    What is 'Karma Yoga'? (Explain to the children that it means doing our duty sincerely and lovingly, without worrying about the results.) ●    How did Kalam practice 'Karma Yoga' in his work as a Missile Scientist? (Explain that his goal was to serve the nation, not to seek money or fame. Mention that he worked with renewed enthusiasm every time he faced a failure.) Expression of Thought (Creativity): ●    Duty Role-Play: Children should state their daily duty (e.g., homework, cleaning the house, helping elders). They should then role-play how they perform that duty without expecting a reward (without attachment to the result). Practical Action (Implementation): ●    Enjoying the Process: This week, children should choose a difficult task given by their parents/teacher and try to complete it by only enjoying the work/process, without thinking about what the outcome will be. Service Pledge: Every morning, take a pledge saying: "Today, I will do one selfless act (without expecting anything in return)." Your donations are appreciated.

As part of protecting Sanatana Dharma and its culture, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) is striving to restore the glory of dilapidated temples in underprivileged areas. Location : The ancient Kollapuramma Ammavari Temple in the SC Colony of Dasampalli village, Kalyanadurgam Mandal, Anantapuram District.   GHHF Intervention:  The GHHF Village Committee members brought to our notice the difficulties faced by the colony residents due to the temple's damaged state, including the risk of the Goddess's idol being damaged in the rain, and the lack of even a basic space for devotees to sit. The Resolve:  Acceding to the request of the devotees and recognizing the importance of the temple, GHHF has taken up the following  Restoration work : Installing a concrete slab (roof) for the temple. Constructing a tin shed in the front so that a large number of devotees can sit and comfortably perform bhajans and pujas. GHHF Assurance:  The repair work is progressing rapidly. We, on behalf of GHHF, assure that all the work will be completed soon, and the temple of the Goddess will regain its former glory. This restoration will ensure that the spiritual center is once again available to the local devotees. Contribute your support to this religious service being rendered by GHHF and become partners in the reconstruction of more temples!  Your donations are appreciated.

 Global Hindu Heritage Foundation 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, Texas, USA Email: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com; website: Savetemples.org                                                                                                                                                October 15, 2025 TO: Honorable N. Chandrababu Naidu Chief Minister, Andhra Pradesh Amaravati, AP Dear Honorable Chandrababu Naidu Garu: Subj: Declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Punya Kshetra to preserve the sanctity of Lord Venkateswara – second request. There is no place in the universe so sacred as Venkatadri (Tirumala); there could be no manifestation of God like Sri Venkateswara either in the past or even in the future. - Brahma Purana This is the second appeal requesting you to protect Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur, declare them as Punya Kshetras for Hindus like Mecca for Muslims, and the Vatican for Christians. Many people may question the practicality of enforcing it and may criticize you for even talking about it. They are escapists, opportunists, secularists, and appeasers of vested interests. But let us remember one thing that shaped your career. You have taken up tasks that many people doubted your intentions and skills. Nobody can match what you did for Hyderabad, which now stands as a global cyber center. Now you have been relentlessly working to make Amaravati a model Capital with great vision and as a symbol of economic growth. However, Lord Venkateswara Temple and the surrounding areas are beset with numerous non-Hindu activities and projects impinging on the sanctity of the Kaliyuga Deivam. Numerous fake emails are being sent to create fear and doubt about the sanctity of Tirumala, while an ever-expanding number of liquor shops in Tirupati are turning our youth into addicts, indisciplined, and rowdy. The point we are trying to make is straightforward. If there is a problem, there is a solution. If we have determination, commitment, unwavering faith, and nerve, we can do it. Let us remember a little history that was written in your presence, more than 38 years ago. Inaugurating the golden jubilee celebrations of the Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) in late April 1987, Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao proclaimed, "If the Vatican is the religious center for Christians, Tirupati should be the same for the Hindus all over the world. This is my ambition." His plan calls for the Tirumala-Tirupati-Tiruchanur area to be brought under the aegis of a Balaji Divya Kshetra, which is to have a supreme council with Lord Venkateswara as the "Chairman" and Rama Rao as vice-chairman. Tirupati would be the nucleus for the spread of Hinduism and the biggest center for Hindu philosophy and learning. "Every paisa spent from the Lord's hundi must be spent meaningfully," he said, announcing a package of multi-crore-rupee schemes to develop the area into an epitome of sanctity. Speaking after inaugurating the guest house of the Andhra Pradesh Sub-Registrars’ Association at Old Renigunta Road here on August 31, 2014 (Sunday), Mr. Krishnamurthy said the temple city (Tirupati/Tirumala) would be developed on the lines of the Vatican, as envisioned by former Chief Minister N.T. Rama Rao. “The Andhra Pradesh government, under the leadership of Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, will transform Tirupati into a world-class city,” he added. Emulate Kashi-Vishwanath Corridor Prime Minister Narendra Modi was the driving force behind the Kashi Vishwanath Temple Corridor project, which involved the strategic acquisition of hundreds of properties to widen the temple complex and create a direct path for pilgrims to the Ganges River. According to government sources, the purchase of these buildings was done through voluntary compensation with the cooperation of the owners. Around 1,400 residents and businesses were relocated and compensated as part of the project. Mecca and non-Muslims. Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter the holy city of Mecca under Saudi law. This prohibition is long-established and is enforced at checkpoints and city boundaries. The “Mecca Gate” (Qur’an Gate) marks one such boundary. It serves as a symbolic and literal entrance to the haram (sacred) area, beyond which non-Muslims are legally barred. Divya / Punya Kshetra Requesting the Andhra Pradesh government to declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Divya Kshetra, to restore the sanctity of Lord Venkateswara Temple, and to adhere to Sanatana Dharma principles, excluding non-Hindu activities within a 30-kilometer radius, and limiting commercial development like large malls within its radius to preserve the holy atmosphere and ensure the safety of devotees. It will ensure the safety and well-being of devotees visiting the sacred sites, creating an environment where they can experience the sanctity of the area. How do we make it Diva Kshetra with the presence of non-Hindu Population, presence of Churches and Mosques? The state legislature should declare the Divya Kshetra Heritage Complex (DHC)with the Central government's support, where and when needed. Declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Punyakshetra. Punyakshetra area should consist of a 30 Kilometer area for each of the three sacred places, all seven hills, water bodies, all the roads, and all the buildings. Create an Independent Punyakshetra Heritage Board (PHB) with clear powers over planning, pilgrim management, security coordination, cleanliness, and environmental stewardship. PHB should define behavioral rules, dress, sobriety, vegetarian-only within the zone, litter-free, noise/light norm PHB should consist of Peethadhipathis/acharyas, Agama experts, community reps, practicing Hindus, and people who are not involved in politics for the last seven years. And domain specialists (crowd science, environment, public finance)—conflict-of-interest disclosures. All non-Hindu structures should be used for Hindu Temple activities Close all the wine shops, alcohol stores, bars, and belt stores in this complex. Acquisition of Properties Utilize the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013. Also utilize the methods utilized to create the Kasi-Viswanath Temple Complex Identify all non-Hindu structures, houses, and businesses within the DHC Determine fair compensation for the structures (Churches, Mosques, houses, etc.) based on market value and additional benefits as per the law. Offer fair compensation and rehabilitation packages to the affected owners of the property to move beyond the boundaries of GHC. Set up a Legal Bureau to handle any disputes that may arise in the acquisition of the properties. Include the fair market price for non-vegetarian places, where meat, chicken, alcohol, etc., are served. Existing Restaurants and Hotels         The restaurants and hotels may remain in the city provided they agree not to serve meat and alcohol.  Non-Hindus should not be permitted in DHC Non-Hindus will be strictly prohibited from entering DHC. Checkpoints should be established to identify non-Hindus. IDs are required to prove their identity. Non-Hindus found in DHC will be fined, deported, or imprisoned. (consistent with Mecca guidelines) The punishment should be so severe that it would discourage others from violating the entry either intentionally or unintentionally. The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation believes that declaring Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Divya Kshetras would enhance their spiritual significance, as all three locations are recognized as inherently divine holy sites. This could potentially lead to increased reverence, more accessible pilgrimage, and unified devotional practices for Lord Venkateswara. All three locations will be imbued with an elevated spiritual experience, free from disturbance, and establish a deeper connection with the divine. Lord Venkateswara is glorified in numerous scriptures as Pratyaksha Daivan (manifest divinity), who helps all the devotees in distress.  This would underscore the spiritual significance of all three locations, allowing for a more profound and immersive experience for pilgrims.                 We would appreciate your response.

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...

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}}

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was founded in 2006 to support the preservation, promotion, and maintenance of Hindu culture, temples, and institutions internationally. To achieve this objective, GHHF is conducting about 14 activities at the grassroots (village) level to make Hindus aware of the richness of Hinduism, making them proud of their culture, stopping Christianization of the villages, equipping the children with scientific, spiritual, and religious significance of Hinduism, and many more, as listed below. One ounce of activity is worth tons of talking.  Several activities are being conducted in ten different States in Bharat and Bangladesh.  They include Bala Samskar for children, Gram devata temple construction and renovation, continuous Annadanam seva, Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam items offering to needy temples, conducting Shiva Abhishekam to Lord Shiva with puja, and all villagers doing Abhishekam to Shiva Linga, Gau puja in the villages, Priest training to care for Temples in villages, imprint Jai Sree Rama name on houses and Temples, encourage Bhajans in the villages, provide a sound system to the villagers, provide training to teach sowing to the ladies, and similar activities at the ground level. Also talk about the government's anti-Hindu activities, abuse of Hindu Temples, attack on Hindu Temples, attempts to de-sanctify the sanctity of Hindu Temples, and vote bank politics.  Please encourage your friends to attend the Annual Appreciation Gala Dinner on November 8th NOTE: If you are unable to attend, you can send donations.
