01 Jan 2022 1023 Views

Sir Michael Sadler (1861-1943) authority on education, wrote in 1919: 

"One cannot walk through the streets of any center of population in India without meeting face after face, which is eloquent of thought, of fine feeling, and of insight into the profound things of life. In a very true sense, the people of India are nearer to the spiritual hearts of things than we in England are. As for brain power, there is that in India which is comparable with the best in our country." 

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform that Bala Samskar Kendras (Sunday Schools) were started in October 2021.  
What is Bala Samskar?
GHHF has started classes in the Kakinada area, Tirupati, Visakhapatnam, Pendurti, Madanapalli and Eluru Palem in Prakasam District in Andhra and Hyderabad in Telangana.  In Agency area, Bala Samskar Kendras conduct classes 7 days a week instead of one Sunday a week. Thus, the students are exposed to the depth of knowledge to counter any threats from Christian Pastors. 
Our children are our strength. They are our future. They are going to be our Ambassadors to Hindu Dharma in preserving, protecting, and propagating our ancient civilization. For centuries, we as Hindus failed to transmit the knowledge to the next generations. With no knowledge about our faith and with no pride in the universality and non-violence of Sanatana Dharma, our children, as well as adults, have become targets for Christians to convert. They have used a plethora of deceptive tactics to woo our Hindus to Christianity as we are not able to defend our religion and also not able to question the barbaric nature of the Bible. We have become defenseless and not equipped with any knowledge about our heritage.
    Similarly, we are still ill-equipped with the true nature of other religions. Violence, terror, killings, rapes, and destruction are advocated by Christianity and Islam. Hindus are the only ones who say that all religions are the same while the other two Abrahamic religions abhor Hinduism and do not have any respect. Both these religions have committed to wiping out Hinduism from the planet. It is time to realize the potential danger to Hinduism and start getting reacquainted with the richness of our heritage and understand why ahimsa, tolerance, inclusiveness, respect for others, and truth can save humanity from extinction.
How Many Kendras do we have now? 
    As of December 26, 2021,  GHHF has conducted Bala Samskar Kendras in 55 Villages/ location. An average  of 22 students attended that week. Our goal is to increase the number to 75 by the end of December. 
Why was Bala Samskar Planned?
Bala Samskars / Sunday Schools are being planned for two purposes:
1) To teach about the richness and glory of our Sanatana Dharma. Its eternal nature, its scientific advances, depth of knowledge in our scriptures, and its universal appeal to humanity.
2) Also prevent the Christian aggressive missionary threat to Hinduism. Children are lured away by the Christians bribing them with many unnecessary needs to attract them. They give Chocolates, pens, pencils, and promises of many material things and invite them to Churches and start brainwashing them to believe in their religion and teach them to hate Hinduism.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is planning to start BALA SAMSKAR on Sundays as well as weekdays to impart the richness of Hindu Heritage that enunciated peace, harmony, inclusiveness, self-improvement, and universal welfare. Our Sunday School will discuss contributions Hinduism mage in the fields of education, mathematics, astronomy. Arithmetic, quantum mechanics, metallurgy,  surgery, medicine, dentistry, infinity, zero. Cosmology, literature, yoga and meditation, and other subjects.
