[GHHF] Rayalaseema Tour: Strengthening Village Committees – New Paths for Dharma Protection!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfROf010sw0 Beginning the third day of the Rayalaseema tour, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, held a crucial meeting at the Sri Vasavi Kanyaka Parameswari Ammavari Devasthanam Mandapam in Kalyandurgam, Anantapuram district. This wasn't just a meeting; it was a testament to GHHF's strategy for grassroots Hindu Dharma protection and the strengthening of its village committees. The Necessity and Coordination of Village Committees The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation undertakes numerous programs in every village where it operates. While GHHF has full-time workers dedicated to Hinduism, it's not feasible for them to visit every village daily. Therefore, GHHF forms village committees and coordinates with their members to execute programs. This meeting was specifically designed to empower these committees further. Guiding Committee Members on Responsibilities and Action Plans During the meeting, Sri Rajesh primarily provided clear guidance to committee members on their responsibilities and the programs they should undertake for Hindu Dharma in their respective villages. He also informed them about various successful programs being conducted by GHHF in different regions. This inspired them and encouraged them to work with greater enthusiasm in their villages. Grassroots Feedback and Discussion on Change Sri Rajesh directly inquired from the committee members about GHHF programs in their villages, their results, and the changes observed in the community. This feedback session provided an opportunity to understand the ground realities and to formulate future plans more effectively. Over 150 committee members enthusiastically participated in this crucial meeting. Participation of Dignitaries and Speeches on Hinduism Distinguished guests, including Sri Venkataramana Garu, District Coordinator of Vishwa Hindu Parishad from Anantapuram district, Sri Nageswara Reddy Garu, District In-charge of Samarasata Foundation, and Sri J.D. Bhaskar Garu, District Karyavaha Pramukh of RSS, participated in this event as special invitees. All of them enlightened the committee members on various aspects of Hinduism, further enhancing their spiritual fervor. In this video, witness the village committee meeting held in Kalyandurgam and the efforts being made to strengthen GHHF's grassroots activities. Your continued support is essential for these committees and GHHF, who play a vital role in protecting Dharma.  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.

[GHHF] Ahilyabai Holkar – Celebrated 300 Birth Anniversary of Queen of Mawar, Builder of Hindu Temples, and Protector of Dharma.

“She led by example, reformed without force, and ruled with spiritual strength.” Dr. S Radhakrishna Ahilyabai Holkar was born on 31 May 1725 in the village of Chaundi, located in present-day Ahilyanagar (formerly Ahmednagar), Maharashtra. Her father, Mankoji Sindhia, was a local chieftain who took the rare step of educating his daughter, teaching her to read and write at a time when girls were often denied such opportunities. Ahilyabai married Khanderao Holkat at the age of eight.  Her life took a turn when Malhar Rao Holkar spotted her at a temple feeding the poor and was impressed by her character. Then, He arranged her marriage to his son in 1733. At the age of 20, she was blessed with a son, Male Rao who died at the age of 19. In 754, her husband was killed in a battle of Kumber, making her a widow at the age of 29. Following the death of her husband and her only son, she ascended the throne of Indore in 1767. She ruled the kingdom for thirty years protecting dharma, building and restoring hundreds of Hindu Temples and enforcing the law strictly following the prevailing justice system. Ahilyabai was a courageous warrior and a tremendous archer. She used to fight on the back of the elephant. He always kept his territory safe for many years with Bhils and Gonds who were always ready to attack. Ahilyabai held public audiences every day to help address the grievances of her people. She was always available to anyone who needed her ear. She encouraged all businesspeople within her realm and her kingdom to do their best for the people. During her reign, the merchants produced their most elegant clothes and trade flourished to no end. No more was the farmer a mere victim of oppression but a self-sufficient man in his own right. Anne Besant wrote that “Far and wide the roads were planted with shady trees, and wells were made, and resthouses for travelers. The poor, the homeless, the orphaned were all helped according to their needs. The Bhil’s, who had long been the torment of all caravans, were routed from their mountain fastnesses and persuaded to settle down as honest farmers. Hindu and Musalman alike revered the famous Queen and prayed for her long life.” Ahilyabai became a Championed the cause of Hindu Temples. Among all her achievements, reconstruction of temples destroyed by Islamic invaders or rule From Dwarka to Gaya and Gangotri to Rameshwaram, to building ghats alongside almost all rivers, and initiating charities to facilitate pilgrimages, everything at present form is the result of Ahilyabai’s diligent determination to restore the Bharatvarsha that was raging in vulnerable forgetfulness. The reconstruction of Somnath Jyotirlinga in Kathiawad, Gujarat and Kashi Vishwanath Jyotirlinga in Benaras (Varanasi), which holds epitomizing prominence of crores of Hindus, alone reflects the dedication of this feisty queen.rs and refurbishment of holy sites counts as the most pivotal service to the sustenance of Bharat. She restored 12 Jyotirlingas, contributed to the restoration of temples at Srinagar, Haridwar, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Rishikesh, Prayagraj, Varanasi, Naimisharanya, Rameswaram, Somnath, Nashik, Omkareshwar, Mahabaleshwar, Pune, Indore, Srisailam, Udupi, Gokarna, and many more. Every holy pilgrimage site in India bears her contribution in some form. Various other Jyotirlinga (ah) destroyed by Islamists were built or rebuilt by Maharani Ahilyabai. For instance, Grishneshwar Jyotirlinga, Aurangabad, was reconstructed by the queen; Aundha Nagnath Jyotirlinga (8th Jyotirlinga in Hongli district of Maharashtra) destroyed by Aurangzeb, was renovated by Ahilyabai. The Bhimashankar Jyotirlinga Temple was repaired, Tarakeshwara Temple was constructed, and the Kushavarta Kund was built at Triyambakeshwar Jyotirlinga Temple at Nasik in 1750. Hanuman Temple at Rameshwaram, Vishnupad Temple in Gaya, Shri Vaidyanath Temple, Shri Ram Temple and Vishweshwar Temple in Nasik, Temples and Dharmashalas in Omkareshwar, hundreds of temples in Maheshwar (where she lived after her son’s demise), Ramchandra Temple in Puri, are all the result of Ahilyabai’s volition. Justice and Compassion Ahilyabai never issued capital punishment. Instead, she took a personal oath from prisoners and released those who promised to reform. Many such individuals adopted honest lives, and her generosity yielded positive results. When presiding over court sessions, she always held a Shivling made of clay in her hands—a symbol of her devotion. In her honor, the Government of India issued commemorative stamps in 1966. Rani Ahilyabai Holkar is the only public figure to be conferred the title of ‘Devi’. She was a brave warrior and an excellent archer, leading her army multiple times to protect her kingdom. She deeply respected art, music, literature, sculpture, and poetry, and her court was always open to artists. Her capital was renowned for its craftsmen, sculptors, and artists, who were well-compensated and highly regarded. The central government on Thursday announced the release of a commemorative Rs 300 coin to mark the 300th birth anniversary of Maharani Ahilyabai Holkar. The announcement comes as part of a nationwide celebration honouring Holkar, with events being organised by the Centre, BJP, RSS, and various other institutions across the nation. {{album_1386}}

GHHF Rayalaseema Tour: Padapooja Mahotsavam in Gundiganipalli – A Living Example of Cultural Values!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dA3mHtKHkA8 Concluding the second day of their Rayalaseema tour, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, arrived at Gundiganipalli village in Anantapuram district. Here, the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's Bal Samskar Kendra is being dedicatedly run by Sri Eeranna Garu. A special event held in this village added an extra dimension to the tour. GHHF's Uniqueness: The Mass Padapooja Ceremony You might have seen mass rituals or mass prayers. But have you ever witnessed a mass Padapooja (worship of feet) ceremony? This is a unique initiative of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation! GHHF organized an extraordinary event at the Gundiganipalli Bal Samskar Kendra where students performed Padapooja for their parents. In Hindu culture, parents are considered the primary deities. GHHF specifically organizes this program to instill a sense of reverence in children towards their parents, believing that worshipping their parents' feet is akin to worshipping God himself. Sri Rajesh's Address: The Significance of Bal Samskar Kendras Sri Rajesh personally participated in this emotional program and delivered a speech. He primarily emphasized the significance of Bal Samskar Kendras and why good teachings are essential for children from a young age. He explained how these centers are not just providing education but also fostering spiritual and moral values in children. A Grand Conclusion to the Second Day of the Tour This Padapooja ceremony marked a grand conclusion to the second day of Sri Rajesh's Rayalaseema tour, which included visits and supervision of numerous programs in Kurakulathota, Hanimireddypalli, Maremma Thalli Temple, Yatukallu, Konapuram, and Kondapuram villages. The reception received in every village, the dedication of the volunteers, and the continuous public support have further inspired GHHF towards achieving its objectives.

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18PtjWbBEsY Continuing the second day of the Rayalaseema tour, after visiting the Bal Samskar Kendra in Konapuram, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, visited the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation's Bal Samskar Kendra in Kondapuram village, Anantapuram district.

A unique attraction here, however, is that the children at the Bal Samskar Kendra are learning Yoga asanas. This highlights the importance GHHF places on health preservation alongside cultural values. Grand Welcome, A Reflection of Children's Talent Sri Rajesh received a grand welcome from village elders and parents of the students at the Bal Samskar Kendra. He conversed with the children on various topics and was greatly impressed by their excellent recitation of shlokas, poems, and songs, as well as their demonstration of the Yoga asanas they had learned. Their talent and discipline deeply captivated him.

[GHHF] How scientific is it to apply Traditional Kumkum/ Tilak/ Bindi on the Forehead; Bindi Stickers are Hazardous to Health

(Note: Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is conducting Santana Dharma classes to the youth for 12 weeks starting from May 25 in Frisco Texas. On June 1, 2025, we talked about the importance of applying Kumkum, Tilak, Bindi on the forehead and the science behind it.  Discussed about the benefits one accrues by application Bindi on the forehead.) Kumkum/Bindi / Tilak is applied in the center of the forehead or on the sixth chakra which is located in between the two eyebrows. This spot is considered Ajneya Chakra which is deemed as the Commanding center. It is believed to be the converging point of major nerves. It is the junction where the highest number of neurons meet, hence described as the most important yet sensitive area. There is spiritual and scientific significance to the concept of Kumkum/Bindu /Tilak.    This Center controls the entire body. This is the only Chakra exposed to outside while the rest of the chakras are covered with either clothes or hair. This is the chakra that makes all the decisions. It is immensely important to protect from outside forces or evil eyes. Maharishi Yagnavalkya said that this position is appropriate because Shiva's third eye is located here. After the application of Tilak pure thoughts are said to emerge. In fact, our scriptures say that a forehead without a Tilak is as good as a village without a well, a country without a river, a country without justice, wealth that is not given away as charity, a flower without smell, etc. Tilak should be placed at the upper part of the nose where the middle part of the nose meets. Here Ida, Pingala, Sushumna or Ganga, Yamuna or Saraswati Surya, Chandra and Brahma are called; Three Pradhana Nadis meet. This is called "Triveni Sangam". Ajneya chakra is also known as Gnanagrandhi - knot of wisdom Depending on one’s inclination or sect, one may apply Tilak, sandal paste, or ash on the center between the eyebrows. Application of Tilak, Sandal Paste, or Ash will have a cooling effect, medicinal value, and spiritual influence.   Saivas apply three horizontal lines with the sacred ashes (Tripundra).  The Vaishnavas apply three vertical lines (Urdhva Pundra) on the forehead.  Shaktism followers commonly apply a straight tilak on their forehead. Application of round-shaped is popular for many people. Fingers are used for applying the Tilak. While applying Tilak, people chant this mantra: My I remember the Lord. May this pious feeling pervade all my activities. May I be righteous in my deeds.” Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Skanda Purana, Brahmanda Purana, Padma Purana, and other Puranas talk about the significance of Tilak on the forehead. During religious ceremonies, the efforts bear no fruit if Tilak is not applied on the forehead. No priest will either enter the Garbha Griha or perform any pujas/Homas without sporting Kumkum/Bhasma/Chandan.  Kalagni Rudra Upanishad, a Shaiva traditional text, explains the three lines of a Tilak as a reminder of various triads: three sacred fires, three syllables in Om, three gunas, three worlds, three types of atman (self), three powers in oneself, and first three Vedas. The Vasudeva Upanishad, a Vaishnava tradition text, similarly explains the significance of three vertical lines in Urdhva Pundra.  Three vertical lines represent of Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva; the Vedic scriptures – Rigveda, Yajurveda and Samaveda; three worlds Bhu, Bhuva, Svar; the three syllables of Om – A, U, M; three states of consciousness – awake, dream sleep, deep sleep; three realities – Maya, Brahman, and Atman; the three bodies – Sthula, Sukshma, and Karana.(Wikipedia) According to the Brahmanda Purana, the colors and manner of application of the tilak are important: "a red Tilak will bring obedience and control; a black Tilak will derive peace; a yellow one will bring wealth; one which is white will deliver devotion to Vishnu. The Tilak of correct size, marked using one’s fingers, will offer the god’s blessing and support. A Tilak in the Centre of the forehead will bring youth and long life; the Chandan made using the third finger (Anamika) will deliver happiness; and a bounded Tilak will eventually bring salvation". Kumkum is most often applied on the forehead with a ring finger as one presses on the center of the eyebrows. Both women and men should apply Tilak as per our scriptures. Our ancient Rishis used to press that center when applying Tilak to activate the pituitary gland in order to meditate better. The pituitary gland is a small organ, at the bottom of the brain. It is the master gland of the human body, this gland produces and secretes many hormones that travel throughout the body, directing certain processes stimulating other glands to produce different types of hormones. The pituitary gland controls biochemical processes that are important to our well-being.                The application also activates the pineal gland which may have the highest concentration of energy in the body. The pineal gland is also the dominant source of the body’s melatonin, which affects our mood, immune function, circadian rhythms, and sleeping patterns. When melatonin levels are disrupted, people can experience mood swings, depression, and seasonal disorders. The pineal gland also plays an important role in the production of serotonin which regulates moods, sleeping patterns, promotes digestion, and inhibits impulsive behavior. Benefits of Traditional Bindi Application             Traditional Kumkum is made with Turmeric and Slake lime. Turmeric has anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and antioxidant properties. Traditional Kumkum has many medical and spiritual benefits. It makes one calmer and helps arrest anxiety. Some of the benefits of applying Tilak on the forehead are relieving headache, clears up sinuses, strengthening your facial muscles and can beat wrinkles, relieving the symptoms of Bell’s palsy, good for the muscles of the eyes, stimulates hearing, beats insomnia, and others. Chandan Application                Applying Chandan paste on Ajneya Chakra improves focus and alertness. It has a cooling effect on the nervous system. It is believed to ease headaches and cool the nerve centers that are exposed to sun. Negative energy in the form of negative thoughts enters our body through this chakra. Application of Chandan is believed to block negative energy. Many people suffer from insomnia due to excessive thinking, overactive mind, mental stress, and exhaustion. Massaging while applying Chandan paste is believed to reduce stress and insomnia.                  In fact, many Chandan paste is applied to Gods and Goddesses who have displayed ferociousness in the scriptures. Lord Narasimha displayed so much anger at the time of killing Hiranyakashapu, his devotees applied Chandan to cool him down and the practice is still followed till date in Sri Simhachalam Temple and Mangalagiri Narasimha Temple and other Lord Narasimha Temple across India.     Application of sandal paste has great medicinal value, apart from the spiritual influence. The application of sandal paste will nullify the heating effect when you concentrate and meditate at the Bhrumadhya. Tilak indicates the point at which the spiritual eye opens. Lord Siva has a third eye at the Bhrumadhya. When he opens the third eye, the three worlds are destroyed.     To cool off Lord Narsimha, it is the Sandal paste that is applied Ash Application                Ash/Bhasma/ Vibhuti is applied on the forehead. The benefits of wearing Vibhuti on the forehead are that it increases positive energy, prevents headaches, prevents colds, clears the sinuses, regulates all seven chakras in the body and develops compassion toward others. Spiritually, it reminds us of the impermanence of our lives. Bindi Stickers are Health Hazard Bindi Stickers: For convenience and ease of application, many people are applying Bindi stickers on their foreheads. These stickers are made out of glue and metals which may affect the very commanding center that we need to protect from chemicals and metals. These stickers are considered to have a negative effect on one’s health and spirituality. In a survey conducted by the Consumer Unity and Trusts Society (CUTS), Kolkata, in November 2001, half of the respondents (consumers) said that they had suffered allergic reactions to personal care products. Gyanshankar Mishra, Sushil Rathi and Jasmin Mulani concluded that, “The synthetic adhesive used in sticker bindis may lead to eczema, leukoderma or skin irritation. The use of sticker bindis can cause white patches on the forehead. Another study also concludes that “The dermatological effects that have been linked with Bindi use include contact leukoderma, allergic contact dermatitis and granuloma formation [6]. Our patient used sticker Bindi. Long-term use of these bindis may be associated with local skin breach due to repeated and regular skin contact of adhesives on the Bindi. These could be the possible causes of exogenous inoculation of the infection in the present case.” (2015) V A Babu and K Sri Venkatesan (2016) summarized the research on the effects of Sticker Bindi as follows: “Sticker Bindi is a synthetic fabric or plastic patch made up of circular discs of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the adhesive material contains P-tertiary butyl phenol (PTBP) Other agents are epoxy resins, dispersible blue, dispersible blue, nickel thimerosal and gallate mix. Nickel in sticker Bindi can cause allergic contact dermatitis. Sticker Bindi can also cause contact leukoderma due to PTBP used as an adhesive which is Melano toxic.” Let all revive the tradition of applying Kumkum/Tilak/Chandan/Ash on their foreheads with pride, understand the scriptural injunctions, herald the inner meaning of sporting Kumkum to the world, and let all faiths know the importance and significance of wearing Kumkum/Tilak on their foreheads. Both women and men should wear the Tilak/Bindu on their foreheads. Knowing the importance of wearing Tilak, become a spokesperson.  Thanks Prakasarao Velagapudi, PhD.

This center is being managed very efficiently by Sri Jayaraj Garu.   *Konapuram: From Samskar Kendra to a Complete Dharma Village* The Bal Samskar Kendra in Konapuram has been running successfully for a long time. However, GHHF has not only established the Bal Samskar Kendra here but has also undertaken several other initiatives, such as house-to-house Dharma propagation, the formation of a village committee, and inscribing Bhagavan's name on every house. This is transforming Konapuram into a complete spiritual hub.   *Remarkable Transformation in Children: Education with Values* Sri Rajesh spent a considerable amount of time interacting with the children at the Bal Samskar Kendra.

[GHHF] Rayalaseema Tour: A Grand Welcome and Triumphs of Dharma Protection in Yatukallu!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NKQ3j6vhP4   Continuing the second day of the Rayalaseema tour, after visiting the Maremma Thalli Temple in Kalyandurgam, Sri Thunuguntla Rajesh, National General Secretary of GHHF Bharat, arrived at Yatukallu village in Anantapuram district. The reception he received in this village was a remarkable testament to the extraordinary respect accorded to GHHF's grassroots programs and the selfless dedication of the organization's volunteers.   Grand Welcome and Impressive Procession The villagers welcomed Sri Rajesh at the entrance of the village, showering him with flowers and accompanying him with traditional music and drums. They gave him a grand welcome, befitting a leader or a revered Swamiji, and led him in a procession to the Peddamma Thalli Temple. This is a direct testament to the popularity and trust that GHHF's Dharma protection initiatives are gaining from the local populace.   Bhajan in a Spiritual Atmosphere and Microphone Set Donation After visiting the temple, Sri Rajesh participated in a small Bhajan program organized by the villagers. Sri Rajesh was captivated by the villagers' devotional and wonderful Bhajan performance. After listening to three Bhajan songs with complete immersion, he presented a microphone set to the temple on behalf of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation. This will further aid their spiritual activities.   Ghar Wapasi Successes: From Allurements Back to Dharma In the same village, Sri Rajesh spoke with Hindus who had returned to the fold through Ghar Wapasi (reconversion) efforts by GHHF. He listened directly to their experiences of how they had initially converted to Christianity and how GHHF activists engaged with them to bring them back to Hinduism. Their words and their commitment to Dharma brought immense joy to Sri Rajesh. They also extended special thanks to GHHF for arranging a visit to Tirumala for those who had undergone Ghar Wapasi to have the Darshan of Lord Venkateswara.   Comprehensive Dharma Propagation Programs in Yatukallu Yatukallu village serves as an excellent example of the comprehensive Dharma propagation programs undertaken by GHHF. In this village, the name of Bhagavan has been inscribed on every house.
