1.    Bala Samskar Kendras – Learning and practicing Surya Namaskar for concentration. (6/1)
Our Children are taught about the richness of our culture by teaching about various scriptures and the timeless wisdom found in them.  Our students will learn how Hindus conceive the abstract concept of God, their features, physical features, and the divine qualities. We talk about the characteristics of Lord Rama, the attributes and his behavior and the qualities that we can emulate. Many of our Gods are incarnated at different times and we try to explain about different Avataras and the purpose of incarnating at a particular time.

2.    On the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti Celebrations, Utsav Murty Precession through the village. (6/2)
Hanuman Jayanti is celebrated with great pomp and grandeur in various parts of India and around the world. Temples dedicated to Lord Hanuman are decorated with flowers and lights, and special prayers and bhajans are conducted throughout the day. Devotees observe fasts and offer fruits, sweets, and other offerings to Lord Hanuman to seek his blessings for strength, courage, and protection.
In some regions, processions are organized where devotees dressed as Lord Hanuman march through the streets, carrying flags and chanting hymns.

3.    “We have to Protect our Dharma.” Part 1; An exclusive Interview by Prime 9 News. (6/3)
I was interviewed by Sri Shiv Vadlamudi of Prime 9 News on different life experiences. Started with a question about protests against GHHF and me and asked me to explain why they protested. I trace the incident that occurred in 2019 in a village near Tirupati where a Pastor was building a Church within 20 meters from a Devi Temple. With villagers’ support a petition to stop the construction was submitted to the Pastors who agreed to stop and left the village.

4.    Making Hindus aware of the greatness of Hinduism and how it is different from Christianity. (6/4)
They approached several families and were told that they were welcome to come back to Sanatana Dharma. Many of them asked about their Pastor's assertion that they took an oath with Bible on their head, and they may be burning eternally in the fire. Our Associates informed them that God is not a killer and would not punish. God’s character is all-loving, compassionate, and all-forgiving. So, they do not have to fear God to return to Hinduism if they desire to do so.

"In Assam, the flood situation remains grim as 625,318 people are reeling under the deluge across 10 districts," an official said. "Four people have lost their lives in the past 24 hours and the number of deaths caused by the floods has so far reached to 18."

6.    Bala Samskar Kendras – Students celebrated World Environment Day. Children planted trees.(6/6) 
World Environment Day was established in 1972 by the United Nations at the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment (5–16 June 1972), that resulted from discussions on the integration of human interactions and the environment. One year later, in 1973 the first WED was held with the theme "Only One Earth".
Hinduism and Environmentalism: Hinduism teaches that the five great elements (space, air, fire, water, and earth) that constitute the environment are all derived from Prakriti, the primal energy. Each of these elements has its own life and form; together the elements are interconnected and interdependent.

7.    Our Volunteers picked up loads of Cantaloupes from the farm and fed them to Cows and monkeys. (6/7)
 Realizing that the last cutting of cantaloupes season is over and many of them will be rotten on the field, they approached the farmers and requested them to help feed the cows. The farmers readily agreed and asked them take as many cantaloupes as we want. Our volunteers went to the farmland and picked up loads of them and put them in Autos and brought them to different places and fed them.

9.    Highlights of our activities over the last Two weeks in Assam – reconversion, skill development, environment, and food distribution. (6/9)
As many of you are aware that a Cyclone has devastated many States including Assam. GHHF readily started to help the helpless. Consequently, we served 8000 cyclone and flood affected peoples, provided dry foods, oil, mosquito coils, baby milk, khichdi etc. Recovered/ rescued minor boy of converted Rumi begum from the clutches of kidnapper. This was a covert operation where administration personals helped GHHF non officially, as because they didn't get permission from higher authority at this moment because of Parliamentary election
