Dear Friends:
I was in India for about 11 weeks and spent about two weeks attending the 11 days of Atirudra Yagam organized by Sri Ganapathi Sachchidananda Swamiji in Varanasi / Kasi with more than 116 priests who have done Homas for about five hours every day morning followed by evening discourses and bhajans.
Then we went to Hyderabad and met Swami Paripoornananda Swamiji. We also met several Shiva Shakti team for two times. Sugguna Karunakar, Kalyan Kumar, Santosh and others. I was ably interviewed by Karunakar which was released on January 10, 2020. As of January 21, more than 54,000 people watched.
We have met a host of people in Tirupati where we started our office in 2018. We also met four attorneys who are willing to help any writ petitions we want to file to make sure the sanctity of our Temples ismaintained, and Hindu dharma is preserved and protected.

Karunakar introduced me by saying that he has been living in USA for about 55 years and we will find how fashioned his life in the religious and spiritual life I introduced myself as hailing from a small village called Akarur about 25 kilometers from Vijayawada After high school gradation, I spent two years in Hindu college and two years National College in Machilipatnam to receiveBA degree and received MA degree from Andhra University. After working for two years in New Dehi, went to USA in 1965. received MA from Michigan State University and PhD from Mississippi State University.

When I went to USA, I had no knowledge about therichness of HinduismI used avoid any discussion about Hinduism when my son was about 7 years he came back from school and wanted to find out when we will go to Church. That was the turning point that lead me to start conducting Sunday School it snowballed to start a Hindu Temple Society of Mississippi as a Co Founder and Chairman from 1985 to 1991.
