Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is working in Assam for the last five years on variety of challenges to educate our children about the richness of culture, conduct bhajans, celebrate Hindu festivals, encounter the conversion menace, and help those in need. Bala Samskar Kendras of Assam celebrates Six major festivals each year with great enthusiasm, all of which are deeply rooted in Hindu religion and culture. Kanya Puja on Durgashtami is one of them.  These six programs are- 1. Saraswati Puja on Vasant panchami,2. Rangoli on Hindu New year i.e. Barsha Pratipada, 3. Parents worship day on Bengali New year, 4. Plantation drive on World environment day,   5. Independence day, 6. Kanya Pujan on Durgashtami. Kanya Puja or Kumari Puja is a Hindu holy ritual, carried out especially on the Ashtami (eighth day) and Navami (ninth day) of the Navaratri festival. The ceremony primarily involves the worship of nine girls, representing the nine forms of Goddess Durga (Navadurga). As per Hindu philosophy, these girls are considered as the manifestation of the natural force of creation. Legend says that it was on the ninth day of Navaratri that Shakti had taken the form of Goddess Durga, on the request of the devas to kill the demon Mahishasura. What is Kumari Puja? The word "Kumari" refers to a young unmarried girl, and the ritual of Kumari Puja is all about venerating these girls as manifestations of the divine feminine. As per religious scriptures, Kumari Puja is ideally suggested for all nine days of Navratri. On the first day of Navratri, a single girl should be worshipped, and one more girl should be added each day, concluding with nine girls on the final day. However, many people choose to perform this puja on a single day, which could be either Ashtami (eighth day) or Navami (ninth day) of Navratri. As per Hindu beliefs, inviting and worshipping different number of girls will give you different blessings, 1. Worshipping one girl child gives you good fortune, 2. Worshipping two girls gives you perception and salvation, 3. Worshipping three girls will give you merit 4. Worshipping four girls will bless you with authority 5. Worshipping five will bless you with knowledge 6. Worshipping six girls will give you six types of Siddhis or fulfillments 7. Worshipping seven girls will bless you with power and kingdom 8. Worshipping eight girls gives you wealth 9. Worshipping nine girls will bless you with supremacy Now, let’s have a look at the puja procedure: First and foremost, the feet of all the girls are washed and then are made to sit on pedestals. Then Moli (red and yellow holy thread) is tied on the right wrist and tilak is applied on the forehead of all girls. Traditional Ashtami Prasad – Puri, Chana and Halwa, is first offered to Goddess Durga first and then served to all the girls. Girls are also given some presents in the form of money, red dupatta and bangles. The puja ends with taking blessings from these girls in the form of a pat on the back while touching their feet.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation, Assam, distributes new clothes to poor Hindu families every year before Durga Puja. About three weeks ago 100 sarees were distributed to hundreds of ladies at the village Dilkhush in the Assam-Manipur border region. Team leader Dipali Rani Das organized this program, and I attended on behalf of GHHF Assam. We are running one Bala Samskar Kendra for the kids of these families in Mahadevbari in the past three years. Youths of this small Adhibasi village are also associated with GHHF Assam. On Sunday (September 6) GHHF Assam team distributed 70 sarees going to a remote village in Adivasi area as a way of celebrating Navaratri festival.  Sri Samrat Dutt, who coordinated the event with the Tejaswini group, went to the village located at the boundaries of Manipur and distributed them to the poor people, encouraging them to participate and celebrate Durga Puja during Navaratri. GHHF Center distributed Sarees to poor Adivasi families to celebrate Durga Puja, the most significant event celebrated by the Hindu community in Assam. According to legends, the festival is held to worship Goddess Durga and commemorate her triumph against Mahishasur. The festival is celebrated all over India and with much passion in Assam. Some perform it individually, and some collectively; it is a collective puja. People of all castes can participate in Durga Puja. Durga Puja is a Hindu festival that celebrates the worship of the goddess Durga and commemorates the slaying of the demon king Maheshar by the goddess Durga, marking the triumph of good over evil. Due to its significant population of Hindu Bengalis, Assam celebrates Durga Puja in a flamboyant manner. Grand processions and rhythmic beats characterize the festival, and devotees visit temples to seek blessings from the Goddess for peace and prosperity. Navaratri, a nine-day festival, honors the nine forms of Durga, the Hindu warrior goddess. Each state in India celebrates in its unique way. In 2024, Navaratri is celebrated from October 3-12.  The Hindu festival of Navaratri, which means nine (nava) nights (ratri) in Sanskrit, is celebrated over nine consecutive nights during autumn. The celebrations vary from region to region according to local customs and traditions, but the festival's central theme is the victory of good over evil. Although Navaratri is devoted to the goddess Durga, some states in South India also dedicate it to other Hindu deities like Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge. In the Eastern States such as West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Odisha, and Jharkhand, Navaratri is celebrated as Durga Puja, the main annual festival for Bengali Hindus commemorating Durga's victory over the shape-shifting buffalo demon Mahishasura. During the celebrations, elaborately designed pandals (marquees) and life-size statues of the goddess Durga are installed in every neighborhood. Dressed in traditional attire, devotees offer prayers in the evening and perform a dhunuchi naach, a special dance with earthen lamps. Your donations are appreciated.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation celebrates all the festivals, explains their importance, makes all the villagers participate in puja and Homas, explains all the steps in performing the puja, and performs Kumkum Archana to Devi. On the first day of Navaratri, GHHF, under the leadership of Sri Gopi Krishna Acharya and other priests, performed Devi Puja in Garudapuram village, in Anantapur District.  All the devotees who came to the Gangamma temple performed Panchamruta Abhishekam, Kumkum Archana, and Ashtothara pooja to the Goddess.  All the devotees who came first were asked to do Sankalpam, where they recited their gotras, nakshatras, and the names of the family members. Then, they offered Panchamruta Abhishekam to the goddess, new clothes were offered to Devi, and Kumkum Archana was performed. After that, Maha Mangala Arati was offered to Devi, and prasadam and a food donation program were organized for all the devotees who came. Three priests participated in this program and made the program a success. Navaratri festival In Sanskrit, Navaratri means nine nights, nava means nine, and ratri means nights. During these nine nights and ten days, nine forms of Shakti / Devi are worshiped. This festival of Navaratri is popularly known as Durga Puja, Dussehra, Vijayadashami etc.  After these nine days of the festival comes the Dashami, the tenth day, which is the day of the famous festival of Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami (the tenth day of victory). This is the day Lord Rama killed Ravana, signifying the triumph of good over evil. Vaishnavas generally celebrate Vijay Dashami on a grand scale rather than Durga puja. Sri Gopi Chary explained the importance of Navaratri, how to celebrate all nine days, and the names of the manifestations of devi that are to be worshipped each day. The mother goddess, Durga, is a very special deity, able to appear in nine different forms, each endowed with unique powers and traits. These nine manifestations are called Navadurga (translated as "nine Durgas"). Devout Hindus celebrate Durga and her many appellations during a nine-night Navaratri festival, which is held in early October 2024.  Each night of Navaratri honors one of the mother goddess' manifestations. Hindus believe worshiping Durga with sufficient religious fervor will lift the divine spirit and bring them renewed happiness.  Shaila Putri, the first Manifestation of Durga. Navaratri begins with a night of worship and celebration in honor of Durga's avatar, Shaila Putri, whose name means "daughter of the mountains." Also known as Sati Bhavani, Parvati, or Hemavati, she is the daughter of Hemavana, the king of the Himalayas. Shaila Putri is considered the purest embodiment of Durga and the mother of nature. In iconography, she is depicted riding a bull and holding a trident and a lotus blossom. The lotus represents purity and devotion, while the prongs on the trident represent the past, present, and future. It happened that Daksha had organized a big yajna, but he didn't invite Lord Shiva. However, Sati attended the yajna. During the yajna, Daksha insulted Shiva. Unable to tolerate the insult, Sati sacrificed her life by burning herself in the fire of the yajna. In her next life, Sati was born as the daughter of Himalaya. Later, she married Shiva. Her name was Parvati. According to the Upanishad, Parvati even tore the egoism of Lord Indra and other gods.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) was established in 2006 to preserve, promote, maintain, and protect Hindu culture, and free Hindu temples.  GHHF has taken appropriate actions against all laws, policies, and activities undertaken by any government that undermines the existence of the Temples. The goal is to ensure all the Hindu Temples and other Hindu institutions become independent of state government control.  The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act allowed the state governments to take over only Hindu Temples. The Act had bestowed several powers on the governments like auditing temple funds, appointing Archakas (priests), constituting a committee to monitor temple affairs, creating a common pool fund, and regulating investment of funds and use of surplus funds. All appointments, property, finances, renovations, pujas, etc. are monitored and controlled. Very rarely the governments have followed the law with no consequences for their mismanagement of Hindu Temples, their land, their resources and properties. On the other hand, Mosques and churches are free from government control and are not included in the Endowment Act. While Mosques and Churches are mushrooming in Andhra Pradesh, temples that existed for thousands of years are in a dilapidated state. The construction of Illegal Churches is swelling every day all over India. Minority appeasement at the expense of the constitutional rights accorded to Hindus is granted to Christians and Muslims at a rapid pace. Hindu existence is at stake. Hindu Temples are being attacked frequently with no consideration for the sentiments of Hindus. There are as many as 15 percent Christians are working at TTD. He never questioned our assessment. GHHF requested the then E O Sri Ashok Singhal to investigate, Ass per his suggestion we even submitted the names of Christians working at BRRD hospital.  Article 295A should be utilized by Endowment Department which says anybody who deliberately and intently hurt the feelings of Hindus shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to three years, or with fine, or with both. Realizing the confusion about the demands of non-Hindu claims and the Endowment official hatred toward Hindu way of life, the Government circular was issued in 2011 prohibiting non-Hindus to participate in the auctions for various leases and licenses to operate shops and also bid to acquire contacts. It stated that "Allotment of shops, buildings / vacant sites in and around the premise (Alaya Kshetram) of Religious Institutions and various License tights in the Temple shall be leased out to the persons who are professing Hindu Religion only and the persons not professing Hindu Religion are prohibited and not allowed to function against the forms, customs and usage of such religious institutions." Since 2020, GHHF is undertaking several projects to protect Hinduism: 1 Bala Samskar- conducting 200 schools in Indi and 10 schools in Bangladesh to educate our Childre 2) Reviving Grama Devatas by renovating the temples 3) Dhupa Deepa Naivedyam – providing necessary Arthi material to the needy Temple; 4) Sponsor a priest – employing priests to reopen the closed temples; 5) Annadanam – so far provide more than 2 Lakhs and 6) Reviving Hindu villages by making them proud of their culture. Pawan Kalyan Fiery speech in Tirupati; Highlights of his speech to protect Sanatana Dharma GHHF is very happy to hear Pawan Kalyan talk about protecting Sanatana Dharma, his unwavering commitment question the so-called secularists, and his pledge to question anybody who attacks Sanatana Dharma. Speaking at his Varahi declaration meet in Tirupati, Kalyan issued a stern warning to those who, in his words, are attempting to undermine Sanatana Dharma. “If anyone tries to wipe out Sanatana Dharma, let me tell you from the feet of Lord Balaji, you will be wiped out,” he stated firmly.  Pawan Kalyan, who identifies as an “unapologetic Sanatani Hindu,” made it clear that he is prepared to defend his faith with everything he has. Addressing his critics, he said, “I am conveying this to the so-called secularists who ridicule my Sanatana Dharma. Let me tell you, I will safeguard Sanatana Dharma with my life.” He expressed his willingness to sacrifice his political power and even his life if necessary, stating, “If I have to lose everything, including my life and my political position, I’m ready to let it go. This is the oath I’ve taken as an unapologetic Sanatani Hindu.” Kalyan also criticized what he sees as a bias in the legal system, stating that Sanatana Dharma followers are treated harshly compared to those of other religions. He mentioned the courts’ leniency toward those who, in his view, have attacked Hinduism. “The courts are protecting the abusers and attackers of Sanatana Dharma,” Kalyan said, stating that similar comments made against other religions would lead to severe punishment. Consistent with GHHF mission to protect Sanatana Dharma and Hindu Temples, Pawan Kalyan called for the introduction of a national law to protect Sanatana Dharma from defamation and attacks. He also proposed setting up a "Sanatana Dharma Protection Board" at both state and national levels.  Pawan Kalyan criticized Udhayanidhi's comparison of Sanatana Dharma to a virus, warning that the ancient principles would remain indestructible despite such political rhetoric  The 'Varahi Declaration' encouraged all Indians, regardless of caste, creed, or religion, to stand united in defense of Sanatana Dharma. Kalyan urged citizens to raise their voices against any attack on Hindu beliefs.  Pawan Kalyan stressed that true secularism requires equal respect for all religions. He pointed out that while attacks on other religions receive widespread outrage, Hinduism often faces disrespect without similar reactions.   Pawan Kalyan vowed to protect Sanatana Dharma, declaring that he would sacrifice everything, including his political career, to uphold it. "Politicians like you come and go, but Sanatana Dharma will remain eternal," Pawan Kalyan stated, dismissing any attempts to undermine the religious belief. Following his fiery, powerful and passionate speech, he released Varahi Declaration to protect and preserve Sanatana Dharma. As of now, there is no politician who has taken vow to defend Sanatana Dharma for peaceful coexistence. Varahi Declaration emphasizes the importance of protecting Sanatana Dharma and promoting secularism. Here are the key points from the declaration: 1. Secularism must be upheld in a manner that ensures uniform response to any threat or harm caused to any religion or faith. 2. A strong national Act is required to protect Sanatana Dharma and prevent actions that harm its beliefs. This Act should be enacted immediately and uniformly enforced across the nation. 3. A "Sanatana Dharma Protection Board" should be established at both the national and state levels to oversee the implementation of this Act 4. Annual funds must be allocated to support this board and its activities. 5. There should be non-cooperation to individuals or organizations that defame or spread hatred against Sanatana Dharma. 6. Sanatana Dharma Certification must be implemented to ensure the purity of materials used in offerings and prasadam at temples. 7. Temples should evolve not only as spiritual centers but also as centers for promoting art & culture, education, economy, environmental conservation and welfare with comprehensive planning.  Global Hindu Heritage Foundation stands with his mission to protect Sanatana Dharma and his advocacy to establish Sanatana Dharma Rakshana Board. Jai Sree Ram.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy inform that student from Assam learned about the bravery and wisdom of Rani Durgadevi and how she defended Gondwana.  Rani Durgavati (5 October 1524 – 24 June 1564) was the queen regent of Gondwana in 1550–1564 AD. She married King Dalpat Shah, the son of King Sangram Shah of Gondwana. She served as regent of Gondwana during the minority of her son, Vir Narayan, from 1550 until 1564. She is chiefly remembered for defending Gondwana against the Mughal Empire Marriage Dalpat Shah was a kind and just ruler, and Rani Durgavati became known for her wisdom and advice. She bore him two children, a son, and a daughter. When Dalpat Shah died, Rani Durgavati became the regent of Gondwana. She ruled with the help of her councilors, and her primary goal was to protect her kingdom and her people. However, her life changed forever when her father was killed in battle. Forced to take up the reins of the kingdom, she became a leader at a young age. While she may have had a privileged upbringing, she proved herself to be a capable and strong ruler. She was a brave and skilled warrior and often led her husband’s troops into battle. She was also a patron of the arts and helped to promote the development of poetry and music in her kingdom. How she became a ruler How many of you knows that Rani Durgavati accidently became the ruler. Yes, its true that she come accross situations where she enthroned on throne of Gondwana. it only happened because her husband passed on when their son, Narayan, was too young to take over his father’s throne. So Rani Durgavati had no choice but to take over the leadership of the Gond Kingdom. Ascending for her husband’s throne wasn’t a simple task, because she was a woman. However, her bravery and determination were always the driving force behind all her achievements. The two ministers, Man Thakur and Adhar Kayastha, who helped her assume her husband’s throne, also get some credit for her successful inheritance of the leadership of the Gond dynasty. Durgavati was smart lady who ruled the Gond kingdom with bravery. She proved herself as a great ruler beyond doubt. She commanded extensive army of one thousand war elephants, 20,000 horses, and soldiers. All these, she made sure, were in good health and well trained. In recognition of her profound impact, the Government of India issued a postal stamp in her honor, and the train between Jabalpur Junction and Jammutawi was named Durgavati Express. Furthermore, the Indian Coast Guard commissioned ICGS Rani Durgavati, an Inshore Patrol Vessel, as a symbol of her enduring legacy and the values she embodied.

A woman who recognized the divinity in every person, Annie Besant was attracted to Hindu traditions and philosophy in India and considered India her motherland even though she was a foreigner. Annie Besant proved that a woman who embodies intelligence and courage can change the world's thinking. Her mother was Irish, and her father was British. She was born in London and finally died in Adyar, Madras. His father died when he was five years old. He was raised by his mother. She was very happy as a child. Along with their studies, she enjoyed nature and learned to play cricket, music, horse riding, and sewing. Her religious faith and piety were very high. She used to pray and read the Bible every day. At the age of 20, her religious faith reached such a level that she decided to devote her life to the service of God. Married to Reverend Frank Besant in 1867 and had a son and a daughter. For some time, the daughter suffered from illness, and the death of the mother led to a loss of faith in God, and she became an atheist. Encouraged by an atheist named Charles Broadlaw, she wrote several works under the pen name Ajax and sent them to journals. The Theosophical Society, founded in 1875, attracted Annie Besant. Her life turned around after reading the Secret Doctrine by Blavatsky. Became a member of Theosophical Society in 1889. In 1907, she became the president of the Divya Jnana Samaj. Attracted to the theological philosophy of Eastern countries, he studied India and settled in Varanasi in 1895. It is believed that India has no future if spirituality is abandoned. Annie Besant longed to revive the piety and patriotism of the Indian people who forgot their religion and traditions in the craze of Western culture. It promoted itself using indigenous products. In 1894, she addressed the Indian National Congress for the first time. The Home Rule Movement started in 1916. Leaders who did not cooperate at first eventually cooperated with Annie Besant. In 1917, she presided over the Calcutta Congress sessions, organized mass meetings in public for the first time, and mobilized more women to participate in politics. She had lofty ideas about the country's future. She wanted it to gain independence so that all Indians could enjoy freedom. Brahma Vidya Samaj shifted its headquarters to Adyar, Madras. A university was started at the center, and Rabindranath Tagore was appointed as its Chancellor. Ancient Indian roots were modeled and taught in combination with the modern education system. In 1898, a Hindu College was started in Varanasi. It later became Kasi Hindu University. In 1909, she adopted Krishnamurthy and Nityanand and worked hard to make them prophets of the world. They traveled to many countries and were taught many religious practices and languages and took special care. Annie Besant, who showed her mother's love to everyone, was called Amma by all. Raised in a Christian family and working with atheists, her life was wholly dedicated to India. Annie Besant worked in various fields as a revolutionary, a social reformer, and an independent fighter, imbibing Indian philosophy and becoming a role model for all. She demonstrated that Hinduism and Bharat are inextricably interwoven and that both terms are interchangeable. To quote her, thus: "Hinduism is the soul of India. Without Hinduism there can be no India. Without Hinduism, India has no future. Hinduism is the soil into which India's roots are struck and tom of that she will inevitably wither as a tree torn out of from its place. Many are the races flourishing in India, but none of them stretches back into the far dawn of her past, nor are they necessary for her endurance as a nation. Everyone might pass away as they came and would remain. But let Hinduism vanish and what she is?” Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is pleased to inform that Bala Samskar Kendra Assam students learnt about Naiki Devi, the Gujarati Queen from Goa Who Defeated Muhammad Ghori. Among these unsung warrior women is Naiki Devi, the Goan princess who went on to become the Chalukya queen of Gujarat and defeat the mighty Muhammad Ghori in the battlefield. Here’s the untold tale of how Naiki Devi etched her mark in the annals of history. The daughter of the Kadamba king of Goa, Naiki Devi was well-trained in sword fighting, cavalry, military strategy, diplomacy and all other subjects of statecraft. Undaunted by the prospect of Ghori’s imminent attack, she took command of the Chalukyan force and threw herself into organizing a well-planned opposition to the invading army. Naiki Devi was daughter of Paramardi. One theory identifies this Paramardi as the Kadamba king Permadideva, but according to historian Ashoke Kumar Majumdar, she was likely the daughter of the Chandela king Paramardi (reigned c. 1165-1203 CE).` She was married to Chaulukya ruler Ajayapala and had son named Mularaja, who later became king after his father's death. When her son succeeded his father as king in 1175, she became regent during the minority of her son. In 1175, Muhammad of Ghor crossed the Indus, capturing Multan and Uch before penetrating in present-day Gujarat through the Thar Desert in 1178. Muhammad of Ghor was routed by Mularaja II and his Rajput allies from Nadol, Jalore and Abu at the Battle of Kasahrada. The location of battle is identified as a village named Kayandra near foothills of Abu hills. Persian chroniclers Minhaj al-Siraj and Ferishta mentioned that Muhammad of Ghor was routed by Bhima II (Mularaja brother and successor), although the epigraphic evidence confirmed that Maharaja II was ruling at the time of Ghurid invasion. When Ghori had planned his attack, he underestimated the power of Naiki Devi. He thought that a woman and child would be of no resistance. But he was to learn otherwise soon. Naiki Devi was well-trained in sword fighting.  She wasn’t afraid after listening to Ghori’s attack rather got herself and her army ready for a battle. She also requested assistance from Prithviraj Chauhan but he denied it. Later she did receive assistance from leaders of the Naddula Chahamana clan, Jalor Chahamana clan, and the Arbuda Paramara clan. A smart Naiki Devi now planned to subdue the Ghori army. She chose the Gadaraghatta terrain an area near the foot of Mount Abu, the village of Kahsrada as the battle site. The narrow hill passes of Gadaraghatta were a less-known area for Ghori’s army, giving Naiki Devi a huge advantage and balancing the odds in one masterful move. Hence when Ghori and his army finally arrived at Kahsrada the queen rode into the battle with her son on her lap, leading her soldiers into a thrilling counterattack.
