In our Sanatana Dharma, temples are not mere structures of stone; they are vibrant reservoirs of immense divine energy. According to our Shastras, the spiritual sanctity of a temple remains intact only when Dhupa (Incense), Deepa (Lamp), and Naivedya (Sacred Offering) are offered consistently. When these daily rituals cease, the divine presence fades, leaving the temple lifeless and the community spiritually weakened. Regrettably, the decline of spiritual values in today's society is deeply linked to the neglect of ancient temples, especially in our remote and rural areas. Continuing our sacred mission, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has identified several neglected and financially struggling temples in remote regions this month. We have distributed comprehensive Dhupa-Deepa-Naivedya kits free of cost to ensure that daily worship continues uninterrupted. Our efforts go beyond just providing materials; we have empowered local devotees and assigned them the responsibility of lighting the lamp every single day. Through this, we are striving to transform these forgotten shrines back into powerful centers of spiritual energy. Your Support - Our Strength in Dharma Rakshana: Our vision is simple yet profound: The sound of the temple bell must echo again, and the sacred lamp must never go out in any neglected temple. With the continued support of our generous donors, we aim to extend this service to many more temples in the coming days. Restoring daily worship in a silent temple is not just a service; it is the ultimate act of protecting our Dharma. We invite every one of you to become a part of this divine Yagna and help us keep the flame of our heritage alive. Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah . Your donations are appreciated.

On March 8, 2026,  the Maharashtra Cabinet cleared the Dharma Swatantrya Adhiniyam, 2026, a Bill proposing rigorous imprisonment of up to seven years and a fine of Rs 5 lakh for unlawful religious conversions. The proposed law is the latest in a series of similar pieces of legislation enacted by BJP governments in states over the last eight years, often with the stated goal of curbing forcible conversion and marriage of Hindu women, described as “love jihad”. Earlier, on March 6, 2026, the Maharashtra State government approved the “Freedom of Religion” Bill to crack down on religious conversion through marriage, or what certain right-wing organizations call “love jihad”, though the law recognizes no such terminology. This bill aims to stop “love jihad,” where it is believed that Muslim men are luring Hindu women to convert them to Islam through marriage. The Freedom of Religion Bill makes such an interfaith marriage a cognizable, non-bailable offence if the couple’s families object to the marriage, as it implies “conversion by force and allurement”. A cognizable offence carries a minimum prison sentence of seven years, whereas states such as Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh have mandated a sentence of 10 years under their “love jihad” laws. What are the special conditions imposed by this law to prevent Love Jihad marriages?” •    The interfaith couple must get the marriage cleared by the district collector as well as their respective families. •    The Hindu woman must also give 60 days’ notice before converting to Islam.  •    The couple must confirm that there is no objection from their respective families. •    Conversion must be registered within 25 days; otherwise, the marriage will become null and void. •    Any person who induces, deceives, or coerces another person into converting from one religion to another will face imprisonment of up to seven years and a fine of ₹1 lakh if found guilty. •    Marriage conducted with the intention of illegal religious conversion may be declared void by a court. Why did they introduce this, Bill?     Several Hindu girls are missing across the country. So many stories are being circulated about the entrapment of Hindu girls to get married and finally force them to accept Islam. Speaking at the press conference, some Hindu girls said that Muslim youths initially befriend them and gradually develop closeness through polite and affectionate behavior. Later, they assure them, saying, “If you marry me, you will not have to convert to Islam. You will not even have to wear a burqa. You will live happily like a queen.” “They tried to influence us with sweet talk and gradually manipulate our thoughts. Their words created resentment in our minds towards our parents and family members. However, we later realized that it was all a deception. Eventually, we managed to free ourselves from the ‘Love Jihad’ trap,” said the girls, while expressing their anguish. An Uttar Pradesh court has said that ‘love jihad’ poses a serious threat to the country and apprehended ‘’foreign funding’’ in engineering religious conversions as it sentenced a Muslim man, who was accused of marrying a Hindu woman by hiding his religious identity, to life imprisonment. ‘’The country will face serious consequences if illegal religious conversions through love jihad are not stopped,’’ he remarked. ‘’It’s a matter of attempted illegal religious conversion through love jihad.... In love jihad, the Muslim men target Hindu women by hiding their religious identity... Love jihad requires large amounts of money, and so foreign funding can’t be ruled out. “Said the judge. Since 2017, nine states have passed laws regulating religious conversion — Jharkhand (2017), Uttarakhand (2018), Himachal Pradesh (2019), Uttar Pradesh (2020), Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh (2021), Haryana and Karnataka (2022), and Rajasthan (2025).  The Central government should examine the seriousness of Love Jihad, how Hindu girls are being trapped, converted to Indla, how they are being raped and forced to live in secrecy.  

Every Hindu must be proud of Sri Paramahamsa Yogananda for spreading the ancient wisdom to the rest of the world, his establishment of Self Realization Fellowship in the USA, for penning the book “Autobiography of a Yogi, " and his influence on the corporate world. He was born on January 5, 1893, and died on March 7, 1952. Paramahamsa Yogananda is one of the greatest spiritual figures of the twentieth century and was also one of the first Spiritual Masters to bring the Yoga of the East to the aspiring West.  Yogananda was born in Gorakhpur, Bengal, in 1893. Originally, his name was Mukunda Lal Ghosh. He was given the name of Yogananda after his initiation as an Indian Swami (monk).  Yogananda means "Bliss" through yoga (divine union with God). The title "Paramahamsa" was given to him by his Guru, Sri Yukteswar. Paramahamsa means "Supreme Swan" literally. It is given to Swamis who have established constant communion with God. From an early age, Yogananda was fascinated with meeting spiritual Saints and seekers. His autobiography recounts many riveting occasions of meetings with different Saints (including Master Mahasaya, who was the author of "The Gospel of Ramakrishna. Even as a young child, Yogananda spent many hours in meditation, aspiring to attain God-Consciousness.  At the age of 17, Yogananda became a disciple of Swami Sri Yukteswar, who expertly guided him along the spiritual path. Sri Yukteswar was a direct disciple of Lahiri Mahasaya. Lahiri Mahasaya is credited with reintroducing the ancient art of Kriya yoga into modern society.  After several years of strict spiritual training in his Master's hermitage, Yogananda was inspired to travel to America. With the blessings of his Guru, Sri Yukteswar, Yogananda travelled to the West to share the spiritual traditions of India and his own inner realizations.  GURU Yogananda's seeking after various saints mostly ended when he met his guru, Swami Yukteswar Giri, in 1910, at the age of 17. He describes his first meeting with Yukteswar as a rekindling of a relationship that had lasted for many lifetimes: We entered a oneness of silence; words seemed the rankest superfluities. Eloquence flowed in soundless chant from heart of master to disciple. With an antenna of irrefragable (indisputable)  insight I sensed that my guru knew God, and would lead me to Him. The obscuration of this life disappeared in a fragile dawn of prenatal memories. Dramatic time! Past, present, and future are its cycling scenes. This was not the first sun to find me at these holy feet![5] He came to America in 1920 and established Self Realization Fellowship the same year. He took up residence at the SRF hermitage in Encinitas, California, which was a surprise gift from his disciple Rajarshi Janakananda (Around 1936). He came to America in 1920 and established Self Realization Fellowship the same year. He took up residence at the SRF hermitage in Encinitas, California, a surprise gift from his disciple, Rajarsi Janakananda (around 1936). From 1924–1935, Yogananda traveled and lectured widely, speaking to capacity audiences in many of the largest auditoriums in America — from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Los Angeles Philharmonic Auditorium. The Los Angeles Times reported: “The Philharmonic Auditorium presents the extraordinary spectacle of thousands…. being turned away an hour before the advertised opening of a lecture with the 3000-seat hall filled to its utmost capacity Autobiography of Yogi is one of the world's most acclaimed spiritual classics. As the life story of Paramahamsa Yogananda — who is often referred to as the Father of Yoga in the West — this book has touched the hearts and minds of millions around the globe. Translated into forty-five languages, it has served as an ambassador for India's ancient science of Yoga, introducing countless readers to the methods for attaining God-realization, India's unique and lasting contribution to world civilization. Hailed as a masterpiece from its first appearance in print in 1946, the book was honored in 1999 as one of “100 Best Spiritual Books of the Century.” Today, this story of a life of unmistakable greatness continues its success in opening to the public a realm of liberating spiritual knowledge previously accessible only to a few. Steve Jobs and An Autobiography of a Yogi. The Autobiography has been an inspiration for many people, including Steve Jobs (1955–2011), co-founder, former chairman, and chief executive officer of Apple Inc. In the book Steve Jobs: A Biography, the author writes that in preparation for a trip, Mr. Jobs downloaded onto his iPad2, the Autobiography of a Yogi, "the guide to meditation and spirituality that he had first read as a teenager, then re-read in India and had read once a year ever since."[40] Steve Jobs passed away on October 5, 2011, at the age of 56, at his home in Palo Alto, California. In his final days, Steve Jobs planned his memorial, choosing the speakers, performers, and guests. As part of his thoughtful farewell, each attendee received a copy of Autobiography of a Yogi, a book that deeply influenced him. Jobs first read the book as a teenager, revisited it during his time in India, and continued to read it annually. According to Benioff, this gift was Jobs’ deliberate final message, emphasizing the importance of reflection and self-discovery. {{album_1561}}

Advice by Ramdas Swamy to Sambhaji Maharaj - Excellent lesson in strategy  This is a letter written by Samartha Ramdas Swami to Shivaji's son, Sambhaji, after Sambhaji succeeded his great father. This is a fantastic strategic message given to Indics (Sambhaji is Nimitta) by the sage at the wake of Aurangzeb's invasion of Deccan. I have inserted a few other quotes of Samartha Ramdas in this advice, which are coherent and used by the Swami in a similar context, but elsewhere. Samarth Ramdas’s teachings emphasize discipline, courage, and a profound sense of duty. These principles are reflected in Sambhaji’s leadership style and his commitment to his people's welfare. His focus on upholding righteousness and just governance echoes Ramdas’s profound influence. Worth emulating by leaders of the nations and business managements worldwide.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ One should always be cautious. Never be malevolent... Always keep thinking and preparing, alone. One should shed anger and impatience and imbibe patience. Otherwise, concern starts nibbling at the inner mind. Forgive a few misgivings of old employees, but take control into your hands... Make them attentive and satisfied with their work Once a mental block develops, the water (thoughts) stops flowing freely in the minds of a Sajjana. One should understand this. One works according to all the subjects' wishes; his regime is short-lived. The same happens to one who objects to all the wishes of subjects.  When various factions in court/society start fighting over the credit for past glory and property, know that the enemy is the happiest. Thus, be a careful interlocutor and bring in peace, or else, the third party benefits in the quarrel between the first two. If subordinates and people start fearing you, understand that you have lost. Think quickly of measures that would restore trust and eliminate fear. Unite all the people and eliminate the enemy. Then the fame and glory reach beyond all directions. The enemy will fear only when you do something to him. Or else, your empire will start collapsing. Understand the situation you are in and control your anger. Even if you are angry, don't let others know. Be friendly towards all subjects, friends, and servants. Make sure that fear does not arise in their minds (since it breeds mistrust) Gather many such men. Motivate them with the idea (of Hindavi swaraj) ... prepare and fall on the Mlenchhas (Mughals) with vengeance. Millions of opinions flying around make it difficult because each person starts believing in the superiority of his own opinion (which makes uniting men around a single cause difficult).  One should teach them (the masses) in their language, as we teach children (referring to the patience of the teacher) ... One should teach them the cause and associated philosophies. Once wise, one should spread them across the entire country. The true strength lies only in mass-movement. But there should be Ishwara's backing for such a movement. Preserve what you already possess. Get more. Make Maratha Rajya (Hindavi swaraj) everywhere. give people courage. lead them from the front. promote and felicitate deserving achievers at every step. Bow to Raama and create a storm all over. beat and drown the enemy provinces and assimilate them... The traitors are the real rabid dogs and should be slain similarly. Any servant of Sri Raama who does these wins for sure. Prepare to fight for Dharma... While fighting, kill as many as you can. Keep on working towards finishing the task (of establishing dharma and Haindava swaraj), even while fighting and killing... Remember your father, Shivaji. Compare yourselves with him and do not think of yourselves too highly. Learn from him how to live forever... Remember how he looked... Remember what he achieved. Remember how he thought. while on this earth. Remember how he walked. Remember how he talked. Remember how he loved his people... Renouncing all pleasures, he achieved the Raaja-Yoga. Study how he did it. If you manage to achieve something like this, only then shall I consider you a man. What more to write now? Know that, there is no one in this world who is strong enough to harm the servant of Sri Raama whose Leelas are sung by all three worlds.   {{album_1560}}

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to inform that Holi was celebrated in Bala Samskar Kendras in different locations in Assam. They have been doing it for the last four years.  In some of the classes, our teachers discussed the importance of Holi. They talked about the stories associated with Holi.  It is a prominent festival where many people gather to throw colored powder at one another.  It also marks a farewell to winter and a welcome to the abundant, colorful season. Different colors convey different sentiments when combined. Red symbolizes love and fertility, yellow signifies prosperity and new beginnings, blue is associated with the divine Krishna, and green embodies the rejuvenation of life and the onset of spring. Many of the colored powders used to celebrate are made with natural ingredients, such as dried marigold, hibiscus flowers, and henna leaves.     According to our scriptures, the evil King Hiranyakashipu imposed restrictions on the worship of Lord Vishnu in his Kingdom. Nobody was supposed to worship Lord Vishnu. As the divine will had it, his own son, Prahlada, believed in Lord Vishnu and started worshipping him. The outraged father tried to stop his son, Prahallada, from worshipping Lord Vishnu. Prahallada was helped by Lord Vishnu, and the latter’s wicked aunt Holika was burnt to death. It signifies the victory of good over evil. It is believed that Holika pleaded with Prahallada for forgiveness before her death. Therefore, Prahallada announced that she would be remembered every year before Holi. This is why ‘Holika-dahan’ is celebrated across India on the day before Holi.     According to another legend, when Radha and Krishna were in extreme delight, Lord Krishna applied color to Radha and the other Gopis.     Also, people across India celebrate Holi according to their beliefs. According to the Matya Purana and the Siva and Bhagavata Puranas, Kamadeva is known as the Lord of Passion and Love and is described as a youth holding a quiver with five arrows. Goddess Parvati wanted to marry Lord Siva, who was least interested in marriage. He was in deep meditation, and no one dared disturb him. Kamadeva was sent to influence Lord Shiva to marry Goddess Parvati. Kamadeva disturbed Lord Shiva with the arrow of Love to wake him awake from his meditation. Realizing that he was disturbed by Kamadeva, he opened his third eye and burned him to ashes. People celebrated the sacrifice of Kamadeva, who risked his life to break Lord Shiva out of meditation to save the world.      It is celebrated to signify the triumph of good over evil, and the joy is expressed by applying different colors to their friends.

The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) has reached a significant milestone in its mission to safeguard Sanatana Dharma at the grassroots level. Under the strategic guidance of National General Secretary, Rajesh Thunuguntla, a specialized 5-day intensive training camp was organized from February 20th to 25th. This program was meticulously designed to transform field activists into disciplined leaders and effective communicators for the Dharmic cause. 22 dedicated full-time activists from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana were handpicked for this camp, where they underwent rigorous training in organizational strategy, modern technology, legal advocacy, and public speaking. Day 1: Organizational Vision & The Ethics of a Karyakarta The foundation of the training was built on discipline and long-term vision. The leadership introduced a robust 3-Tier Strategy, emphasizing the systematic mapping of 25 villages per activist and the execution of 6 core initiatives essential for rural awakening. Code of Conduct: High priority was given to the moral values of an activist. This included training on professional interactions with female teachers at Bala Samskara Kendras, coordinating with village committees, and maintaining dietary disciplines in the field. Dharmic Knowledge: Kanchibhotla Harshavardhana Sastry Garu provided deep insights into the uniqueness of Hindu Dharma and offered comparative theological perspectives to strengthen the activists' philosophical foundation. Day 2: Communication & Mastery of Modern Technology In an age of digital influence, GHHF is empowering its warriors with modern tools. AI & Content Creation: Activists were personally trained on utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to curate Dharmic content and prepare impactful speeches. Media Skills: Under the guidance of Thota Ramakrishna Garu, practical sessions were held on video production, covering camera angles, lighting, and audio techniques. Cultural Integration: Movva Harshavardhan Garu explained the significance of 'Kula Devatas' (ancestral deities), teaching activists how to unite every community under the broader umbrella of Dharma. Day 3: Grassroots Struggles & Legal Advocacy The training moved into the practicalities of field challenges and legal rights. Ghar Wapasi: The leadership shared specialized techniques for the Ghar Wapasi process, focusing on emotional and social reintegration. Legal Empowerment: Nagavardhi Raju Garu trained the team on legal procedures to prevent unauthorized constructions, regulating the misuse of microphones, and utilizing the Right to Information (RTI) Act for community grievances. Village Governance: Plans were finalized for establishing village committees and organizing four major communal events annually to maintain cultural vibrancy. Day 4: Creating 'The Ideal Hindu Village' & Public Speaking Purna Hindu Gramam: The vision of transforming every village into a 'Complete Hindu Village' was discussed, including the installation of village-level guidelines and boards. Oratory Excellence: To build confidence, activists were trained in the art of public speaking. They were divided into five teams, each assigned a specific Dharmic topic to prepare and present. Day 5: Empowerment & Future Roadmap The final day witnessed the emergence of new voices for Dharma. Speaker Training: Every activist delivered a speech on the topics they prepared, successfully overcoming stage fear and demonstrating their ability to lead Satsangs and public gatherings with eloquence. Feedback & Revision: The camp concluded with a comprehensive review of the 5-day learning and the finalization of the immediate action plan for both states. This 5-day training camp was not just an educational event but a strategic assembly to fortify the future of Sanatana Dharma in South India. Through this blend of ancient wisdom and modern technology, GHHF continues to build a resilient force of activists dedicated to the service of the nation and its culture.

Over the past 20 years, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has sent multiple letters to TTD officials, Endowment Department leaders, ministers, chief ministers, and other authorities. We met in person with the then Chief Minister, Sri Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, in Chicago in 2007, with Sri Karunakar Reddy in 2007, and with Sri Chandrababu Naidu in 2008, accompanied by Dr. Subramanian Swamy. In all our meetings with these officials and the several letters we have submitted to TTD officials, the theme of GHHF remains the same. Approximately 20 percent of Christians work at TTD. We requested each time that they identify Christians working at TTD and remove them. • On December 23, 2019, GHHF met Sri Anil Singhal, the E. O of TTD, and suggested that we feel that there are about 1-20 percent of the TTD employees who are Christians. He never questioned the number. • In August 2020, GHHF met Sri S V Subba Reddy, the then Chairman of TTD, who met in Karya Siddhi Hanuman Temple in Frisco, Texas, and suggested that 20 percent of TTD employees are Christians and requested him to investigate. He never questioned the number. • GHHF has sent multiple letters to Chief Minister Sri Chandrababu Naidu and TTD Chairman Sri B R Naidu, requesting an investigation into how many Christians are employed at TTD.   They neither responded nor investigated.   Not a single official we mentioned above ever disputed our claim that 20 percent of the employees of TTD are Christians, and they should identify and remove them.  Only Hindus should work at TTD – by L. V. Subrahmanyam, Chandrababu Naidu, B. R. Naidu, and others. L. V. Subramanyam, the then Chief Secretary of Andhra Pradesh, the present Chief Minister, Sri Chandrababu Naidu, TTD Board Chairman Sri B.R. Naidu, and Executive Officer Sri J. Shyamala Rao openly stated that only Hindus should work at TTD. They asked all non-Hindus to transfer to other departments on a voluntary basis. Nothing worked.  TTD may have identified about 50 over the last year and suspended them. That is not even one percent of the suspected Christians working at TTD. CONTROVERSY OVER THE NUMBER OF Non-Hindus WORKING AT TTD · On July 10, 2025, Sri Bandi Sanja Kumar, Minister of State for Home Affairs, alleged that 1,000 non-Hindus are working at TTD without having faith in Lord Venkateswara or adhering to Sanatana Dharma. He called for an immediate probe to identify and remove non-Hindu employees from TTD. He further stated that his demand was not a request, but a firm stance. He requested Sri B. R. Naidu to ensure that only Hindus are employed. · Sri Bhuma Reddy, ex-Chairman, strongly criticized Bandi Sanjay’s claim that TTD employed over 1,000 non-Hindus. But he never mentioned how many Christians are working at TTD. He was there for about two years, but he did not know how many Christians were working. · Sri Bhanu Prakash Reddy, the present Member of the TTD Board defending the Minister, went further, saying that the number of non-Hindus working at TTD might exceed 1,000.  He said, “While some staff may carry Hindu names, symbols of other faiths are visible in their homes, and called for a house-to-house verification survey. NO SERIOUS EFFORT WAS MADE BY TTD TO IDENTIFY CONCEALED CHRISTIANS. Every Chief Minister, TTD Board Chairman, and executive officer knows fully well that thousands of Christians work at TTD. It is not politically palatable for government officials to conduct a thorough investigation. For nearly 15 years, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has been saying that as many as 20 percent of TTD employees are Christians, hurting the sentiments of Hindus, vitiating the sanctity of Balaji Temple, demeaning our Gods, making fun of Hindus worshipping different Gods, and so on.  Nobody wants to bell the cat. Nobody has the guts, commitment, will, determination, passion, and courage to investigate or take steps to identify non-Hindus. How many Employees are working at TTD? TTD Board member Sri Bhanu Prakash Reddy said, “There are 22,000 employees, including contract, outsourced, and regular, many of whom are still practicing other religious faiths in their homes. I myself asked the management to take up a door-to-door survey to find out those TTD employees following other religions during TTD board meetings,” he said. GHHF Suspects 4,400 Christians working at TTD.  GHHF has written several letters stating that approximately 20% of TTD's employees are non-Hindus. Not a single official ever disputed our number over the last ten years.  That means 20 percent of 22,000 employees is 4,400. That is the number of people working at TTD.  These are the people who took an oath either in front of the Balaji Vigraha or before a picture of Lord Venkateswara, affirming their faith in Balaji and adherence to Sanatana Dharma. If the percentage we suggested was so wrong, do we all expect them to remain silent rather than contradict our numbers? All these officials know that the 4,400 number was correct, but do not want to admit it. By keeping them in TTD without removing them, we are rewarding the liars, cheaters, deceivers, and haters of Hinduism. TTD may know how to identify them, but no action has been taken for decades. How long do we ignore the issues and spoil the sacredness of the Balaji Temple? Why is the Chairman of TTD protecting the Christians and not investigating the religion of the employees? He himself said that only Hindus must work at TTD.  Then why is he not taking any steps to identify? Why is he not saying how many non-Hindus are working? Hiding the crypto Christians is more important than the sanctity of Lord Venkateswara on the Hill? Donations are appreciated.

TTD is ignoring the calls for an investigation into the presence of non-Hindus for political expediency. Is Vote bank politics more important than the sanctity of TTD? Does TTD know how many non-Hindus are working to pollute sanctity? https://youtu.be/ipX_k3TPlno?si=FbqSXdaHkZ_Uca-O

[GHHF] Discussion on the sanctity of TTD and the presence of Non-Hindus by Smt. Madhavi Lata and Prakasarao Velagapudi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XH-v19lWZI Discussed the need to declare Tirumala, Tirupati, and Tiruchanur as Punya Kshetra, as many governments over the years have been unable to implement the policy that only Hindus must work at TTD. TTD is ignoring calls to remove non-Hindus. Why is sanctity not maintained as per the Endowment Act and as per Articles 25 and 26 of the Indian Constitution?

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation requests you to maintain the sanctity of Tirupati and Tirumala in the manner of Tirumala, or to follow the examples of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh.  We request that you introduce a bill in parliament to see that the sale of meat, alcohol, tobacco, non-vegetarian food, and any intoxicating substances will be completely prohibited. The sanctity of Tirumala must spread to all the Hindu Temples and should serve as a role model for the rest of the Hindu community across the globe. Lord Venkateswara, also known as Balaji, Srinivasa, or Govinda, is one of the most revered deities in Hinduism. His significance in the Puranas is deeply rooted in the preservation of dharma, the protection of devotees, and the granting of moksha (liberation). The stories about him appear primarily in the Varaha Purana, the Padma Purana, the Brahmanda Purana, and the Venkatachala Mahathyam.  “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.”  It would be unfortunate to see the holiest place on the planet for Hindus being invaded by the sacrilegious activities polluting the religious environment and hurting the sentiments of Hindus. GHHF applauds your consistent statements in support of Sanatana Dharma and in favor of establishing the Santana Dharma Board across Bharat. Your recent speech in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly and related statements in early February 2026, where you emphasized that it is the "dharmic responsibility" of every Hindu to actively protect their faith, rather than remaining silent when Hindu dharma and gods are insulted. You called for an end to the "slumber" of the average Hindu mind, urging a shift from passive, private devotion to active, collective guardianship of their faith. GHHF is very happy to hear Pawan Kalyan speak about protecting Sanatana Dharma during his Varahi Declaration meeting, your unwavering commitment to question the so-called secularists, and your pledge to question anyone who attacks it. Speaking at his Varahi declaration meet in Tirupati, you gave a stern warning to those who are attempting to undermine Sanatana Dharma. “If anyone tries to wipe out Sanatana Dharma, let me tell you from the feet of Lord Balaji, you will be wiped out,” he stated firmly.  Pawan Kalyan, who identifies as an “unapologetic Sanatani Hindu,” made it clear that he is prepared to defend his faith with everything he has. Addressing his critics, he said, “I am conveying this to the so-called secularists who ridicule my Sanatana Dharma. Let me tell you, I will safeguard Sanatana Dharma with my life.” Declare a 25-kilometer radius around Tirupati and Tiruchanur as holy cities, as in the four other States in Bharat. 1)    Uttar Pradesh enforced a strict ban on the sale and delivery of non-vegetarian food and liquor within a 15-kilometer radius of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, effective from January 9, 2026. This 15-km "no-consumption zone" specifically covers the sacred Panchkosi Parikrama route, a spiritual circumambulation path around the city. The ban explicitly includes online food delivery platforms such as Zomato and Swiggy. This "digital red line" was established after repeated complaints that non-vegetarian items were being transported through sacred routes via app-based services.  All hotels, homestays, and local guest houses within a 15-km radius are strictly prohibited from serving meat or alcoholic beverages to their guests. 2)    Punjab: The Punjab government has officially declared Amritsar Walled City, Talwandi Sabo, and Sri Anandpur Sahib as holy cities. This designation brings a complete ban on the sale of meat, tobacco, alcohol, and other intoxicants in these revered Sikh locations. The Chief Minister, Bhagawant Singh Mann, said strict regulations will now apply in the holy cities. "Sale of meat, alcohol, tobacco, and any intoxicating substances will be completely prohibited."  3)     Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has asked officials to ensure that meat and liquor are not consumed in and around religious towns along the Narmada River, considered the lifeline of the state. There are 21 districts, 68 tehsils, 1138 villages, and 1126 ghats, as well as 430 ancient Shiva temples and two 'shakti peeths' along the banks of the river. Chairing a meeting of officials on Friday, Yadav also said Amarkantak in Anuppur district, from where the Narmada originates, must be given top priority for environmental protection. 4)    Uttarakhand. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami said Haridwar is a sacred city and the government is committed to preserving its sanctity. “Haridwar is a holy city. The government is seriously considering steps to preserve its sanctity (restricting the entry of non-Hindus). The old Acts and existing provisions are being studied," Dhami said. In fact, a proposal to extend these restrictions to all 105 Ganga ghats, from Haridwar to Rishikesh, is currently under discussion with seers and the Shri Ganga Sabha, the apex body overseeing religious rituals in Haridwar. GHHF requests your indulgence in declaring Tirupati and Tiruchanur as holy cities and observing the sanctity within a 15-kilometer radius.
