Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform you that Bala Samskar (Sunday Schools) was started as planned in 20 locations/ villages in the Agency area near Visakhapatnam. About 20 Teachers were selected in the agency area under the guidance of Sri Sai Mansa Datta Swamy. On 14th, he called all the teachers who have agreed to conduct the classes for children in about 65 villages and conducted the workshop. He talked about the importance of teaching the basic values of Sanatana Dharma, the morals, the Gurus, festivals, historical figures, stories from scriptures, and other topics.

In the Agency area, Bala Samskar is conducted 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.

We are planning to conduct similar classes in the Kakinada area, Tirupati, Hyderabad, Madanapalli, and Eluru Palem in Prakasam District.  We will update you as we make progress.

What is Bala Samskar?

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.

Hundred and hundreds of Western scholars, Nobel laureates, Literary giants, and spiritual titans have applauded the universality of Hinduism, its non-sectarian, non-violent, peaceful, and tolerant philosophy. As Arnold Toynbee stated it is only spirituality and ahimsa that can save the world from self-destruction. Francois Gautier announces that “the knowledge that stands behind Hinduism, can save the world.”

Knowledge is power. GHHF would like to impart the knowledge that will be useful for them as well as for the future generation.

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 the contributions of Hinduism in the fields of education, mathematics, astronomy. Arithmetic, quantum mechanics, metallurgy,  surgery, medicine, dentistry, infinity, zero. Cosmology, literature, yoga and meditation, and other subjects.
