Global Hindu Heritage Foundation started Bala Samskar Kendras to inspire young minds to be proud of their culture and learn about the national heroes who sacrificed their lives for Bharat. 
It was a sad day when a Muslim fanatic murdered Swami Shraddhananda, who had organized a purification program to bring back thousands of Hindus who were forcibly converted to Islam under the rule of Muslim invaders and were living as Muslims, to their own religion.
Swami Shraddhananda former name was Munshiram Vij. He was known as a great educationist and Arya Samaj activist. Influenced by the lectures of Swami Dayananda Saraswati, he played a prominent role in the social reform movement. In 1917, Munshiram Vij took up Sanyas and dedicated himself to serving the country as 'Swami Shraddhananda Saraswati'. He worked with the Congress in the freedom struggle. In 1919, in protest the brutal massacre at Jallianwala Bagh, he invited the Congress leaders of the time to hold the Congress sessions in Anputsar. But since none of the Congress Committee came forward, he chaired the meetings himself.
 In 1923, he abandoned all the above programs and started the ‘Shuddhi’ movement. He became the president of the Bharatiya Hindu Shuddhi Sabha. He made the Hindus who were forcibly converted to Muslims, especially the ‘Malkana Rajputs’, return to their mother religion through the Shuddhi program. Due to this, the Muslim leaders of the time had to face clashes with Muslim fanatics. On December 23, 1926, while Swami Shraddhananda was resting in Delhi due to pneumonia, a Muslim youth named ‘Abdul Rashid’ murdered him. Unfortunately, on December 26, 1926, while expressing condolences at the Guwahati Congress meetings, Gandhiji addressed the murderer as his brother and stated that he was innocent. After independence, the statue of British Queen Victoria opposite Delhi Town Hall was removed and replaced with a statue of Swami Shraddhananda.
