“India saw this clearly and turned her face to that which has no boundary or whatever.” “India anchored her soul in the infinite seeing the things of the world as masks of the infinite assumes – there can be no end to these masks, of course. If they express a true infinity.” And it is here that India’s mind-boggling variety links up to her infinite soul.”
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to inform the consistent and persistent attempts to organize Ghar Waapasi in Anantapur District. Sri Gopi Chary Garu and his associates visit each house and distribute the flyers and talk about the richness of Hinduism and why they should return to their original religion. They have taken all precautions required during this pandemic.
Under the guidance of Sri Gopi Chary, three Pracharaks have been going to villages with a mission to highlight the richness of Sanatana Dharma. They are going to the Christian families and give information about the differences between Christianity and Hinduism. They are sharing the 4-page document about the rights of Hindus and how to encounter Christian aggression.
Ex-Christians and Christians were invited to Ganesh Festival
Sri Gopi Chary conducted Ganesh festival at a large scale in a village called Chelimepalli near Anantapur. Majority of the people living in the village are Dalits and about half Christians. Through the GHHF, few Christian families returned to Hinduism. It was decided that we conduct Ganesh Chaturthi in the village to reinforce the faith among Hindu Dalits and at the same invite Christian families as well as ex-Christians. 
    He installing Ganesh Vigraha in the village and as per the agreement, the villagers were to do puja for five days and then Sri Gopi Chary Garu will come do the Pujas for different Gods and also Homas. He tarted the puja by applying Tilak on their forehead and tying Raksha before the Puja started. He explained about the significance of Puja and what steps are taken to conduct puja. 
    He asked ever body to do Sankalp by saying their names, Gotras and nakshatras; and the reason the puja is being conducted. He explained the meaning of different steps in conducting Puja such as dhyanam, inviting Lord Ganesh to sit, welcoming him. Offering water to wash feet, water to drink, offering clothes, offering food, offering Akshatas, offering flowers and other steps. 
He performed puja to Ganesh, Navagraha puja, and Narasimha Swamy Puja, as part of the puja, all the attendees were asked to do abhishekam to Lord Ganesh and Lord Shiva with water and also panchamrutam.
    Following the pujas, Homas were conducted to Lord Ganesh, Narasimha, Navagrahas and Lord Shiva. They chanted the mantras of each God. All the families sat around the Homa Gunda and performed Homa.
    More than 120 members attended and majority of them participated in the puja and Homas. Annadanam was provided to all those who attended the function. They also sang few songs at the end of the function. The villagers promised that they will organize Bhajan Mandal and do Bhajans every week. 
Sri Gopi Swamy talked about the greatness of Hinduism, its tolerance, its Vasudaiva Kutumbam concert, and its ahimsa philosophy. Everybody was given Teertha and prasadam.  They also distributed a 52-page book that contains the comparison between Bhagavad Gita and Bible. They showed passages from the Bible verses that show the statements about incest where it says one can sleep with a mother father and close relatives. Many passages in the Bible are an insult to humanity. It makes people to be slaves. It even justified the slavery enabling the Property Owners to bring Africans from Africa and making them slaves with no rights. They could kill them even for a single mistake since the Property Owners consider them as their property. Many Christian scholars and the former Presidents of the USA also criticized the brutality, violence, incest, cruelty, and extramarital relations. Friedrich Nietzsche said that Christianity is the single great curse, the single great innermost depravity, the single great instinct of revenge, for which no means is poisonous, secretive, subterranean, small enough--I call it mankind's single immortal blemish.
