https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivkLIlAswes Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is excited to inform that  our Children are taught about the richness of our culture by teaching about various scriptures and the timeless wisdom found in them.  Our students will learn how Hindus conceive the abstract concept of God, their features, physical features and the divine qualities. We talk about the characteristics of Lord Rama, the attributes and his behavior and the qualities that we can emulate. Many of our Gods are incarnated at different times and we try to explain about different Avataras and the purpose of incarnating at a particular time.  Pada Puja to parents is a Hindu tradition expressing gratitude, respect, and reverence for one's parents, viewing them as the first and most important teachers and guides. It reinforces family bonds, instills moral values, and highlights the importance of recognizing and honoring parental sacrifices. The ceremony symbolizes the deep connection between a child and their parents, emphasizing the profound impact they have on a child's life and upbringing.  The act of touching of the feet has a profound meaning behind it. •    While doing the Padasparshan , the nerves in our body which are spread throughout, starting from the brain to the fingertips and toes are aligned and when the fingertips touch the feet of the opposite person there is a closed-circuit connection that is established between the two immediately . •    The energies of the body are connected and your fingertips become the “receptor” and the foot of elder person becomes the “giver of energy”. •    When the elder person accepts this respect, their heart is filled with positive thoughts which they give out through their feet. The right way to touch feet To touch the feet of an elder or respectable person, you must bend your upper body in front of them, without bending your knees and stretch your arms forward. The arms should remain parallel and should be stretched in such a way that your right hand touches their left leg and left hand touches their right leg. The elder person should then touch the top of your head with their right hand and bless you. The science behind touching the feet of elders The act of padasparshan (touching the feet) has a profound scientific reason. The nerves in the human body, starting from our brain, spread all over our body and end at our fingertips and toes. While doing padasparshan, when the fingertips of your hand are joined to the feet of the opposite person, a closed circuit is established between the two immediately and the energies of your bodies are connected – your fingers and hands become the receptor of that energy, while the feet of the elder person become the giver of the energy. When the elder accepts this respect, their heart becomes filled with good thoughts and positive energy, which they give out through their hands and feet.

Om Namo Venkateshaya:                  The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation wrote several letters requesting the Commissioner to enforce the Order issued by Tirupati Urban Development, asking the Commissioner to demolish the unauthorised construction. Repeated requests to the Commissioner to execute the Order were unanswered.  No action has been taken till now.                  On April 30, 2025, the Supreme Court said unauthorized construction has to be demolished; there is no way out, as judicial discretion would be guided by expediency, and courts are not free from statutory fetters, and justice is to be rendered in accordance with law.  "We are at pains to observe that the aspect has not been kept in mind by many state governments while enacting the Regularisation of Unauthorized Development Act based on payment of impact fees," a bench of Justices J B Pardiwala and R Mahadevan said.  "Thus, the courts must adopt a strict approach while dealing with cases of illegal construction and should not readily engage themselves in judicial regularisation of buildings erected without requisite permissions of the competent authority," it said.  Put otherwise, if the law were to protect the ones who endeavour to disregard it, the same would lead to undermining the deterrent effect of laws, which is the cornerstone of a just and orderly society," the bench said.  Unauthorized Structure in Tirupati Attached you will find the Order issued by Tirupati Urban Development Authority, issued by the Vice-Chairman on July 15, 2022.  Now, GHHF requests you to follow the order issued by the Supreme Court of India to implement the order that states the unauthorized constructions must be demolished,  GHHF would appreciate your response indicating the steps you will be taking to adhere to the Supreme Court judgment.   Our GHHF Team Coordinator in Tirupati has written the letter to Ms Mourya, the Commissioner of TUDA to enfoce the Supreme Court order. {{album_1372}}

“The ability to see, hear and speak, are useless in the absence of adequate water. Water is the basis of life. Most life forms are born in water and live in it.”  Atharvana Veda Even today there are millions in India who cannot afford to buy a drink or even a bottle of water. Not even 0.01% has public taps to quench their thirst. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has taken up this task in about 20 centers in hour cities providing drinking water for the poor and other living beings also. Foundation believes this task to be very divine. We have witnessed so much life perishing on the streets due to scorching heat and lack of water and trying to save as many as we can. We saw many people faint on the streets as they could not get a glass of water.  Thanks to hundreds of volunteers and donors who directly or indirectly contributed to the cause. We are trying to quench the thirst of as many as possible and save a few lives at least with all your help. May God bless you all those who are helping in providing water to all living beings.  The belief that supplying water to the needy people added merit to one's life encouraged people to create water pandals and supply free drinking water to humans and animals in the country. Such practices can be seen on all days, round the year at important places especially in the temple arenas. Historically, many Temples used to arrange Water Pandals for visitors in the villages, on the side of the roadways, near Temples and so on.  Thus, for the convenience and comfort of tourists or pilgrims’ various facilities like roads, food and hospitals existed. With the infrastructure, the currency exchange system also prevailed. Moreover, almost all the houses had single or double raised platforms in front of the houses at the entry point called 'thinnai' which helped strangers and travelers to avail themselves for rest and night stay. Generally, the common public were also kind and large hearted to take care and spare food and water to the travelers from far and near. This is how the whole system of tourism functioned in Medieval South India, she added. Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is providing water through these Chalivendralu (Water Pandals) in different locations – Temples, offices, hospitals, MRO Office, and roadside. As many of you may be aware that we provided water in a village where the Jatara festival was taking place.  SPONSOR ONE CENTER you can sponsor one center to provide water every during the summer for $250 Your donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com By PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: Or you can send a check payable to GHHF, 14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

“The Indian teaching, through its clouds of legends, has yet a simple and grand religion, like a queenly countenance seen through a rich veil. It teaches to speak truth, love others, and to dispose trifles. The East is grand—and makes Europe appear the land of trifles … All is soul and the soul is the Almighty.” Ralph Waldo Emerson As you are aware that Rajesh Thunuguntla, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat filed a case against the abuse of Atrocities Act where Christians used file false cases against Hindus. On April 30, 2025 Andhra Pradesh High Court issued a verdict saying a Christin cannot be SC/ST once they are converted to Christianity. It said there is no caste system in Christianity.  This is a major decision that affect thousands of cases. The Christians, claiming as a Hindu filed false cases against Hindus. Thousands of cases were filed against Hindus to silence them to ask a simple question. The following is the report from Rajesh Thunuguntla on the Victory Celebration. GHHF thanks Rajesh, Harsha, Sri Siva Swamy, Shyam Prasad Mookherjee and others who participated in the celebration. It is known to all of us that on April 30, the Andhra Pradesh High Court delivered a historic judgment in a case filed by Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat. The judgment reportedly stated that religious converts are ineligible to file SC/ST Atrocities cases. On this occasion, a victory celebration meeting was organized under the aegis of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) in Kothapalem village, where a false SC/ST Atrocity case had reportedly been registered. Firstly, the program commenced by performing puja (worship) to the Neem (Vepa Chettu) and Peepal (Ravi Chettu) trees at the very spot in the village where there were attempts to construct a church. All the villagers extended a grand welcome to Sri Shiva Swamy and the Hindu activists with great joy. Starting from the outskirts of the village, a procession (Shobhayatra) was conducted, passing through all the temples in the village, accompanied by traditional music (Melatalalu) and a Poornakumbham welcome. Subsequently, a meeting was held at the Rama temple in the village, which served as the venue. In this meeting, it was primarily emphasized that all Hindus should remain united in order to effectively counter the attacks on Hindus and Hindu culture. During the program, Sri Shiva Swamy, Peetadhipathi of Sri Shaiva Kshetram, Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of Global Hindu Heritage Foundation Bharat, Advocate Syam Prasad Mukharjee, Harshavardhana Shastri, and Bangaru Babu, BJP Bapatla District President, participated and addressed the gathering on various important matters.

Jiddu Krishnamurthy was born on May 11, 1895, in Madanapalli, a small town in Andhra Pradesh. He belonged to an ordinary middle class Brahmin family. He lost his father and mother in his childhood. But there seemed to be peace, contemplation and mystery in the eyes of that little boy in his extraordinary childhood Famous people who once belonged to the "Theosophical Society" during the British era, an unknown person named Charles Leadbeater observed Krishnamurti. He thought, “This child will become a world teacher in the future.” That's why they took him and taught him the basic science of the world. Then he got a big position and prestige. He also established an organization named "Order of the Star". A solid rejection His extraordinary words at the age of 34 (in 1929) shocked the world.  ❝ I am not anyone's teacher. There is no path to truth. Everyone should know for themselves. Everyone was surprised. No one will give up such name, prestige and dominance. But Krishnamurthy had only one goal - every person should think independently, Know. His philosophy – in the mirror we see in ourselves After leaving the prestigious position, he gave speeches throughout his life, Spent time in discussions and philosophical writings. He had deep thoughts on many topics: How do we get scared? Is our love really pure? Are we looking for happiness outside? Is it not inside us? Who am I really because of our conditioning (customs, traditions, fears)? This is not education...this is a life experiment! Teacher who taught the meaning of education Krishnamurthy with the help of fans in India and America, Educational institutions were established in England. In these schools, there are questions rather than exams, humanity rather than marks, examination rather than books is given priority. Speeches to the world Until Jiddu Krishnamurthy death at the age of 90, he gave speeches world wise. He always asked about religion, politics and principles. Not only that – he always says: ❝ Observe life yourself. No guru is needed. Your questions are answered; you are the teacher.” Inspiring children: 1. To question. Know instead of just believing. 2. Choose your own path in life. 3. Courageously walk in the direction where the truth lies. 4. Know who you are, instead of imitating others. 5. Live every day anew – without being tied to the past. Questions to ask teachers: 1. What is the great thing that Krishnamurthy has achieved by sacrificing his life? 2. Do you think before believing someone? Why? 3. What should we really learn – more than lessons? 4. Observing life independently means what do you think about it? 5. What is our conditioning? How do I recognize it?

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is proud to stand with the Armed Forces. We request every peace-loving person across the globe to unite behind Operation Sindoor to eliminate all kinds of terrorism and speak with one voice for peace and tranquility. We also thank Sri Narendra Modi for his vision, leadership, and commitment to eliminating terrorism. We are equally supportive of ‘Operation Sindoor” to trace and eliminate the terrorist infra-structures and sleeper cells.  GHHF is committed in supporting any and all activities India is undertaking to root out terrorism from the face of the earth.  Enough is enough.  As you are aware that on 22 April 2025, terrorists targeted Hindu tourists in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor, targeting terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir. Let us never forget about seven centuries of brutality, rapes, hangings, killings, Temple destruction, burnings, and occupation of lands. In the past 25 years, cross-border terrorism incidents involving Pakistan have claimed the lives of over 350 Indians and injured more than 800. Pakistan terrorism on India's security forces has also been devastating, with over 600 personnel killed and more than 1,400 injured. There is time for everything. This is the time to replace intolerance with tolerance, terrorism with peace, autocracy with democracy, hatred with love and hostility with kindness. Societies that believe in peace and tolerance will be wiped out unless they wipe out intolerance at any cost.  Unlimited tolerance will eliminate tolerance, peace, reasoning, logic, trust, truth, patience, morals, and along with them, it will root out the civilizations one by one. Societies must be intolerant toward intolerance and take all necessary steps to hunt down terrorism.  Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is proud of the courage, commitment, and determination to eliminate the scourge of thousand-headed terrorism wherever this poisonous snake is found. We stand united in support of Sri Narendra Modi and the Armed Forces in their gallant effort to protect the integrity of Bharath.  

“If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door- or I’ll make a door. Something terrific will come no matter how dark the present.” ― Rabindranath Tagore Rabindranath Tagore was born on May 7, 1861, in the house of Jorasanko Thakur, Calcutta (present Kolkata). His father, Devendranath Thakur, a great philosopher, founded a cultural organization called Brahmo Samaj, of which he was one of the founders. Sharda Devi was his mother Tagore used to be engrossed in a lot of thoughts since childhood. Instead of studying in school, seeing nature, observing birds, talking to trees – these are the Favorites. Tagore received primary education at home. He was taught specially. Later he studied in England for a few years, but even there he preferred traditional education. He did not like the methods. He wanted to learn from his heart, not just for the sake of books. He started writing poems at an early age. His first poetry collection was published at the age of 13! Tagore did not write just poems. He showed excellent talent in writing stories, plays, songs, music, and art, in all fields. He has written more than 2,000 songs. The most popular among them: Jana Gana Mana – Indian National Anthem Amar Sonaar Bangla – Bangla national anthem The genre of songs is called "Rabindra Sangeet". Tagore established a special school called Shantiniketan to teach the children. It became Visva Bharati University. Here, the lessons were read under the trees. The idea of studying amidst nature came from him. In 1913, he received the Nobel Prize for his poetry collection titled Gitanjali.  The first Nobel Prize came to India. At that time, the whole world was attracted to this talent. Tagore wrote against the British authority. He was given the honor of "Knight Hood" by the British Government. But following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919, he rejected the honor. This is an example of his patriotism Tagore died in Shantiniketan in 1941. But his writings and thoughts still influence us. His life teaches us the permanence of truth, beauty, and love. Motivational message for children: ● Every child has a specialty in itself. ● Studying is not for grades, but for understanding life. ● Nature, music, art – all these make us real human beings. ● If we increase our talent in the things we like, the world will recognize us. Questions to ask teachers: ● What is special about Shantiniketan School? ● Why did you reject the honor of “Knight Hood”? ● What things can we learn from Tagore ● Tell the works written by Tagore Donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: You can also send a check payable to GHHF,14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.

“May the Cows come to us, may they bring welfare, may they sit in our home, may they be satisfied with us. May they be plentiful in calves, in different forms, and in large numbers, may they be available for milking at Dawn for Indra.” Rig Veda 6:28:1 Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform that we conduct puja to cow every week in one of the villages where people of all castes come united to participate in Gau puja. Our priest will help all the attended to do puja by identifying different parts of cow and respective gods.  Why is Gau Puja Important?  Cows are a manifestation of the Mother Goddess Gau Mata. Hindus believe the cow to be a sacred animal, providing life-sustaining milk. This milk is considered the divine prasadam or holy offering, and on select festivals, she is decorated and worshiped. In India, the cow is worshipped as a god called ‘Gaumata,’ indicating its nourishing nature like a mother. As per the legend, during Samudra Mantana, “Many gems, animal and gods emerged from ocean churning which took place between Gods and Demons. Kamadhenu, the divine also emerged during ocean churning which has the capacity to fulfil every desire. Once Kamadhenu reached the ashram of sage Vasishta. King Dilipan was childless. Hence, sage Vasishta advised him to worship Kamadhenu to obtain a child. The king started worshipping Kamadhenu and he was blessed with a child. Kamadhenu also helped sage Vashista in building up an army to fight a battle against Vishwamitra who wanted to take away Kamadhenu.” Gau puja represents the worship of Goddess Kamadhenu, the Gomata. She fulfills all your wishes. Performing Gou Pooja can remove all negativity and bestow you with wealth, happiness, and prosperity in life. Cows help to remove poverty, by giving health, wealth and comfort. The worshipping cow may remove the deadliest sins. Worshipping cows helps to repay debts and to overcome enemies. Nearly 36 deities have taken abode in the body of a cow and hence it is a sin to harm it. The base of cow horns is an abode of Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. Lord Shiva resides in the forehead and Goddess Uma resides in the middle of the forehead. The nose is an abode of Lord Ganesh, and the nose tip is the abode of Murugan. Lord Yama resides in the heart; holy river Yamuna resides in cow dung while Goddess Lakshmi resides at the hind part of the cow. The sages, rishis reside in the hair of the cow and other gods reside at the base of the tail. As per our scriptures, 33 crore deities reside in cows Ayurveda recommends Panchagavya to treat diseases of multiple systems, including severe conditions, with almost no side-effects. It can help build a healthy population, provide alternative sources of energy, complete nutritional requirements, eradicate poverty, pollution-free environment, organic farming, etc. Panchgavya can also give back to mother nature by promoting soil fertility, earthworm production, protecting crops from bacterial and fungal infections, etc. Scientific efforts shall be taken to build evidence for the clinical application of Cowpathy. The present review aims to summarize the health and medicinal benefits of Panchgavya. Panchgavya represents milk, urine, dung, ghee, and curd, derived from cow and serves irreplaceable medicinal importance in Ayurveda and traditional Indian clinical practices. In Ayurveda, Panchgavya treatment is termed as ‘Cowpathy’.  Cow Dung Benefits Each of the five cow products have health, agricultural and medicinal benefits. For example, the cow dung has the following benefits: Medicinally, cow dung serves as antifungal, antibacterial, skin tonic, antimalarial, and anti TB. It increases vision. It also treats boils, rashes, psoriasis and eczema.  Donations are appreciated; By Zelle: ghhfusaorg@gmail.com PayPal: savetemples.org By Check: You can also send a check payable to GHHF,14726 Harmony Lane, Frisco, TX 75035.
