"It is its sublime ancient tolerance, that was the true proof of the wisdom and mature dignity of the Hindu tradition. While there is no one "exclusive" dogmatic Hindu tradition, then, there is very definitely, a spirit of inquiry and of revelation that is so consistent that we find one of the greatest of modern Hindu mystics, Raman Maharishi, speaking in ways and with images that echo exactly the terminology of the anonymous seers who wrote down the Upanishads more than two thousand years before him.” Andrew Harvey

5. Bala Samskar Kendras – Students learned about Camel-lion story with a moral “Never trust people who surround people in power.” 9/25/23

A lion lives in a forest. It was the king of all the animals in that forest. "Tiger, fox, crow" suggest it. One day he saw a camel like me who knew nothing but goodness. The tiger, the jackal and the crow went to it together and asked, "Who are you? Why have you come to this forest?" They asked. Then the camel said to them, "Sir! I have come today from the neighboring village because my master's box could not suffer. I have no direction. Save me and make me virtuous."

For the last few years, with anguish, we are all aware of the unchecked mass conversion that is taking place in Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana, Assam and Madhya Pradesh in Bharath with no fear and no consequences. In some States, it is being done sometimes openly and sometimes indirectly with the support from the governments.

7. [GHHF] Letter sent to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to take Suo moto action against hate Speech made by Udayanidhi Stalin by Assam Hindu Advocates Forum; Finally, SC Acted 9/26/23

We, concerned citizens, demand the immediate arrest of Udhanyanidhi Stalin for his bigoted behavior and divisive actions. It is imperative that we hold public figures accountable for their words and actions, especially when they promote hatred and discrimination. Sri Samrat Dutt and other lawyers formed “Hindu Advocates Forum” more than a year ago and submitted letters challenging the issues that hurt the sentiments of Hindus.  Following is the letter written by them.

9. Ganesh Nimajjanam Ceremony was conducted by Bala Samskar Kendra Students in West Godavari District in Andhra Pradesh. 9/29/23

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to announce that our Bala Samskar Students went on a precession dancing on the street to nearby canal. Ganesh was taken in Autorickshaw by chanting Ganesh stotras and saying, “Ganapati Bappa Morya” and “Ganesh Maharaj Ki Jai.”

Ganesha Visarjan can be performed on the same day of Ganesha Chaturthi festival, at the end of Ganesha Puja. Most Puja Vidhis of Hindu deities usually include either Visarjan or Utthapana after performing the Puja rituals. However, Ganesha Visarjan on the same day of Ganesha Chaturthi is a less popular ceremony.
