Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.” Haile Selassie quotes (Ethiopian Statesman and Emperor of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974)

"In proportion to the extent of one's religious or irreligious actions in this life, one must enjoy or suffer the corresponding reactions of his karma in the next." Bhagavat Purana 6.1.45;

No matter how much we talk about government’s Endowment Act and it’s evil intention to deplete the Temple lands; it’s malicious plans to loot Temple funds, it’s wicked policy to allow encroachment of Temple lands; it’s immoral strategy destroy the Temples; it’s vicious approach to neglect the renovation of the landmark temples; it’s cruel plan to convert Hindus into Christianity by promoting Christian organizations, both domestic and foreign; it’s vindictive plan to pass laws to send Muslims and Christians to their respective holy places at the expense of Hindu money; and it’s vindictive plan to build churches on the illegally acquired Temple lands; the question is WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PLIGHT OF HINDU TEMPLES?

Hindus are largely if not totally, entirely, absolutely responsible for every thing that is happening at present – depletion of Hindu population; doubling of the size of other religious population; denying dalits to enter the Temples; treating dalits as second class citizens; allowing the conversion of their fellow Hindus to other religions under their nose; increasing the reservations in the educational institutions, work force and even in promotions, use state and Temple resources to send Muslims and Christians to the their pilgrimage centers;  increased infiltration of Muslims to border states Bangladesh, their total neglect of their obligations to their own religion; their near neglect of their social responsibility to fellow human beings because of their caste, status, positions and prestige; their false concept of thinking that all religions are same; their passion to criticize the supposed follies of their own religion without having an iota of knowledge; their glee in taking pride to stab their own religious practices not knowing how scientific they are; their eagerness to defend the rights of other religions at the expense of their own rich cultural heritage; their total unawareness of their government’s misuse and abuse of Hindu Temples; their utter negligence to take active role in bringing changes in the government to support equality of religions; their show of blindness to the destruction secular concept is causing to Hinduism while promoting other religions; their failure to defend their religious leaders from the defamation by the media, secularists, communists, Christians, Muslims and others; and the list goes on.

If Hinduism is to survive in this modern world, Hindus have to defend their religion; sacrifice their resources; shed their blood; attack the deception practices of other religions; expose the dark side of the Abrahamic religions; assail their evil, sinful, malicious tactics of conversion; eliminate reservations for all religions; and reconvert all the converts back to Hinduism.

As mentioned in Bhagavata Purana that we will pay dearly for our inaction and suffer the consequences.

Hindus should reverse the trend, revitalize the Hindu cause, awaken the Hindu mind, foreclose the pathways the government has adopted to discriminate against Hindus, shut out all the loopholes the government created for the so called minorities, plug out all the resources coming from foreign countries for the purpose of conversion, and work toward changing the so called secular country by creating a spiritual country.

HOW CHRISTIANS WANTED TO CONVERT HINDU SACRED PLACE TO THE PLACE OF CHRISTIAN WORSHIP.

Katrenapalem is a small village near Vijayawada, Krishna District in Andhra Pradesh.  It has thousands of acres of forest conversation managed by The Forestry Department. The aim of the department is described as follows.

“Forests are crucial for the well being of humanity. They provide foundations for life on earth through ecological functions. Forests regulate the climate and water resources and serve as the habitats for wildlife. Forests also furnish a wide range of goods such as wood, food, fodder and medicines, in addition to opportunities for recreation, spiritual renewal and other services.” (Andhra Pradesh Forest Inventory Report-2010; P: V).”Also it provides opportunities for the tribal people who occupied the forests for centuries live their natural life. They lived there for the preservation and promotion of nature without exploiting the forest and natural resources.

Instead of keeping it for the welfare of the humanity, instead of keeping it for the recreational purpose and instead of keeping it as a habitat for the wildlife, one of the Christian Churches in nearby Nuzivid village decided to change the course of action existed for centuries.  In January 2010 the Church decided to convert the forestry into a place of worship for Christians.  They have posted a big signs announcing the plans to “Installation of Jesus Cross” on one of the huge rocks. They have invited all the Christians to attend the function that was to take place on January 26, 2010 (Republic Day).

Sri Kamal Kumar Swami and Sri Mukherjee (an attorney in Nuzivid) tried to meet with the Church officials to convince them not to proceed with plans to install Cross on the huge rock. They refused and threatened them. They called Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) appraising of the impending installation ceremony. In the meanwhile the Church officials secretly built a Platform on top of the huge rock getting ready for installation.

This huge rock has a special significance for many Hindus including local tribals. It is believed that Lord Rama was going through this forest area in Treta Yugam. When he became thirsty, he shot an arrow underneath the huge rock. As a result, huge stream of water sprung forth that quenched his thirst.  That spring of water still comes out of this rock. Many people go to the forest visit this rock and drink the spring water to receive Lord Rama’s blessings. They also wash their feet and sprinkle water on their head whenever they visit the Forest area. It is the evil plan of the local Christians to erect Cross and change the history.

Some of the members of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) from USA decided to take up the cause and started calling a number of state, district and local officials to indicate that the forest/spiritual place should be preserved as stated in the mission of The Forest Department instead of converting it into a Christian place of worship. We have called several times the following officers appraising of the local developments.

The officers we called are as follows:

State Conversation Officer

Regional State Officer

District Conservation Office

Local Conservation Officer

District Collector

State Deputy Police officer

Newspaper correspondents

All of them have appreciated our concern and surprised that we, living in USA, have taken so much interest and so much time calling several times to make sure that the forest area is not converted to a place of Christian church. They repeatedly indicated that they would take appropriate action to make sure that the erection of cross would not take place. The Forestry Department sent reserve police to see that the function would not be conducted. But the Church members pelted the reserve officers away from the site.

By January 24, a large contingent of officers assembled at the huge rock and protected it from becoming a site for church worship. Realizing the magnitude of the security force and the potential problems they may face, the Church members watched silently and left without any provocation.

Although the forest department protected the area, realizing the mischief they can do in secrecy, we called several times about the platform that was built on the huge rock. We requested them to dismantle it before the Christian Church members use their traditional, habitual deceptive, misleading techniques to install the cross without the knowledge of the local officials. Finally, the Forest Department officials dismantled the platform by the first week of February. We have called several times to the local people and authorities to make sure they were satisfied with the Forest Department’s efforts in saving the area from Christian aggression, assault, hostility, and violence. Local people express their gratitude for bringing international pressure to stop the Christian threat.

We request all the Hindu to take the responsibility of protecting their dharma, their culture, their temples, their murthies, their monuments and their way of life. Action has consequences. Inaction, indifference, silence, apathy, unconcern and lack of interest in preserving our culture have their consequences and these consequences cannot be undone easily. In many cases our inaction can undermine and possibly destroy the future of our Hindu culture. Hindus are unwittingly helping other religions to destroy our ancient, scientific, spiritual and divine culture. Our silence and indifference in protecting our culture can only help the evil to triumph.
