"The Mahabharata is not a mere epic. It is a romance, telling the tale of heroic men and women and of some who were divine; it is a whole literature in itself, containing a code of life, a philosophy of social and ethical relations, and speculative thought on human problems that is hard to rival; but above all, it has for its core the Gita, which is, as the world is beginning to find out, the noblest of scriptures and the grandest of stages in which the climax is reached in the wondrous Apocalyspe in the Eleventh canto."

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform the consistent and persistent attempts to organize Ghar Waapasi in Anantapur District. Sri Gopi Chary Garu and his associates visit each house and distribute the flyers and talk about the richness of Hinduism and why they should return to their original religion. They have taken all precautions required during this pandemic.

Under the guidance of Sri Gopi Chary, three Pracharaks have been going to villages with a mission to highlight the richness of Sanatana Dharma. They are going to the Christian families and give information about the differences between Christianity and Hinduism. They are sharing the 4-page document about the rights of Hindus and how to encounter Christian aggression

Formation of Satsangh / Bhajan Groups

Hindus have been singing Bhajans on various Gods and Goddesses for Millennia. Bhajans or singing Kirtans are supposed to bring the singers close to God. Almost all religious leaders sing Bhajans on a regular basis. Many of them compose their own Bhajans on different gods extolling the virtues of the Gods along with the message. Most of the songs have a message that vibrates in the song affecting the mind and body of the singers as well as the listeners

Even saying the names of God such as Govinda Namaalu will bring untold benefits in terms of connecting to the source, peace of mind, and happiness.  They serve the purpose of invoking related emotions. Bhajan sessions are structured to invoke emotions and amplify and diffuse them. Dr. Nagendra of SVyasa University says, “As the tempo builds up with speed and drum beats, emotions increase in intensity and vibrations begin to be felt in different parts of the body. Each drum beat can crack innate blocks and obsessions, to make one more open on the inside. The vibrations then turn subtle and create resonances in the whole body.”  

With regard to the question of whether Bhajans have a direct influence on the body and mind that can benefit the health of the individual? A group of scholars reports that listening to bhajans (as opposed to actively singing them) can increase alertness in ways that improve sustained attention. The first author was motivated to carry out the study because her experience as an active member of the Ananda Marga organization in Kolkata has been that singing and listening to bhajans calms the mind, energizes the body for extended periods of time, and creates an environment beneficial for meditation. She also observes that, as Nagendra says, they can induce a state of total surrender to God. Ananda Murthii observes that ‘It inspires the singers and listeners to shake off depression, melancholy, and fatigue, and generates vitality in life. Novelty, excellence, and uniqueness in its inner spirit, rhythm tempo, and melody are the hallmarks of such song, blended to give wonderful supra-aesthetic effects to the human mind. With its strong sublime ideation and feeling of optimism in reaching one’s spiritual goal, Prabhata Sangita embody the inner truth.”

Sri Gopi Chary talked about the importance of getting together and singing the bhajans in groups to generate good vibrations for the singers, listeners, to the community. He also talked about the laws governing conversion and the privileges one would lose by converting to Christianity. He also informed them to form a group to encounter missionaries who try to target innocent Hindus. He asked them to question their motives and ask them a number of questions that deal with sex, incest, pedophilia, torture, idol worship, and so on. He asked them to keep a copy of the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita Book and question them about all the nasty statements written in the Bible.
