Lord Curzon (Viceroy of India, 1899-1905)

"Powerful Empires existed and flourished here [in India] while Englishmen were still wandering painted in the woods, and while the British Colonies were a wilderness and a jungle … India has left a deeper mark upon the history, the philosophy, and the religion of mankind, than any other terrestrial unit in the universe."

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to summarize and update our activities for the week of February 28 thru March 5, 2022. It helps a number of people to catch up with our activities who might have missed to keep up with our activities.

1. Assam

Resumed the Construction a Temple with GHHF Help.
Few years ago, the villagers wanted to build a Hindu Temple for their daily worship and also to organize many of our festivals to bring all Hindu together and create a sense Hindu bond. The construction started and almost completed the shell of a Temple. The Muslims in the village threatened with severe consequences if they do not stop the construction. Because of the Muslim terrorism and threat to the families, they decided to discontinue the construction.
Our Coordinator Sri Samrat Dutta came to know through pour Pracharaks and decide to help them. He along with others went to the village and assured them of the help financially and socially. They made it known in the community, that they are going to resume the construction the Temple with GHHF support.
Few days ago, GHHF agreed to help financially to complete the Temple, the construction resumed. Once it is complete, Prana Prathishta ceremony will be conducted with GHHD help. Villagers expressed their gratitude to Sri Samrat about the help rendered by GHHF.

2. Bala Samskar Kendras

Crossed 100 Bala Samskar Kendras in FIVE States teaching more than 2000 Children

On February  27, Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is exceptionally happy to inform you that Bala Samskar Kendras (Sunday Schools) were conducted in about 100 Villages / localities in five States: Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Assam, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka. More than 200 children are attending these classes.

Bala Samskar Kendras are being organized in the following villages/locations

Tirupati, Madanapalli, Visakhapatnam Agency Area, Visakhapatnam City, Addanki, Eluru Palem area, Guntur, Bhadrachalam, Pittapuram, Hyderabad, Kandi, Vissnoor, Chennur, Chennai, Bangalore, and Cachar in Assam. We are planning more Bala Samskar Kendras in Tamil Nadu and Assam and also increasing the centers in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

Why did Bala Samskar Kendras Start?

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.

3. Visakhapatnam

10 Families agreed to Return to Hindu Dharma
Sri Kollu Srinivas Raju and Sri Santosh have been visiting different neighborhoods explaining the richness of Hinduism and pointing out different passages that are hateful to humanity and hateful to our parents. Slowly people are realizing the Pastor’s false statements and many of the Christian ladies even were surprised to read what is written in the Bible. Over a month they have been visiting this colony in Visakhapatnam and were able to convince ten families to return to Hindu Dharma. A welcoming ceremony is being planned in the next two weeks to officially undergo the Shuddhi program and take an oath to remain Hindus for their lifetime.
