Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is committed to preserving and practicing our rituals, observing our traditions, and transmitting our customs to young and old. For the last 18 years, we have launched many programs to enrich our Hindu community and ensure they appreciate, understand, and practice these customs and traditions. 
                Sri Gopi Krishna Sastry Garu, our mentor in religious matters, suggested organizing “Intinta Shiva Abhishekam” (Shiva Abhishekam in every House) every Monday evening during Pradosh time. On this Monday (May 18), Shiva Puja and Abhishekam were performed in the village of Idukallu, Setthur Mandalam, in Ananathapur District. It was done in the house of Sri Ramesh in the SC colony. 

 As many of you know, our activities are conducted in villages, Dalit communities, tribal areas, and remote places. With this program, we want to go to places very few people have been to before and do pujas and Abhishekam in houses nobody has done before. Many of these places are ignored by many of our religious people, who bring them together by encouraging the villagers to engage in the rituals for their usefulness. They never went to the houses to perform these rituals. 

Shiva is a Bhola Shankar. He is also called Bholenath. He is Lord of Innocence. Shiva means auspicious. Bhola Shankar is considered the giver of blessings, the giver of peace, and the giver of bliss. The one who gives blessings instantly will grant us any wish if we anoint the Lord very quickly. If we do Abhishekam (ablution), he grants our wishes fast. As per scriptures, if we do Abhisheka to Shiva with water, he will remove ten sins; if we do with cow's milk, 100 sins; if we do Abhishekam with cow curd, 1000 sins; if we do with ghee, 3000 sins; if we do with honey, 5000 sins; if we do with fruit juice, all our sins are removed, and we get wealth and salvation. 

Besides, if you perform puja during the Pradosh period on Monday evening, you will have good children, a sound mind, and good knowledge. So many such results are produced. Worshipping Lord Shiva is like worshiping Goddess Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu, which means "Shivaya Vishnurupaya Shivrupaya Vishnave." Shivasya Hridayam Vishnur Vishnoscha Hridayam Shivah - Vishnu is the heart of Siva, and likewise, Siva is the heart of Vishnu.” That means both Shiva and Vishnu are one and the same – actually, the manifestation of the same Supreme Lord.

In the Bhagwat Puran, Shri Vishnu tells his beloved wife Sri Lakshmi that half of the space in Vishnu’s heart is actually occupied by Lord Shiva, while the other half is occupied by all other beings, including Goddess Lakshmi Herself. Lord Shiva always meditated upon Shri Rama (Lord Vishnu), whereas Lord Vishnu himself meditated upon Lord Shiva.

Narad Pancharatra succinctly states:
Shivo Harirhariha Shakshatchiva Eva Nirupitaha |
Shivadveshi Haridrohi Vishnum Nityam Bhajanapi ||

‘Shiva is Hari, and Hari is none other than Shiva. An enemy of Shiva is an enemy of Hari, even though he may worship Vishnu daily.’
Therefore, Shiva Puja and Abhishekam are being organized in every house. The main purpose of this program is also "to see that all the Hindus are not under the spell of other faiths' deception, incentive, and allurements. There is no caste and creed discrimination in this program. By doing Abhishekam and Bilva Archana for Lord Shiva, through this program, we are making them and their family members eligible to receive grace, blessings, and bliss from the Lord.

By organizing this program, we will be able to stave off illegal conversions and keep our people in the Hindu fold. In all our programs, we tell our Hindus about the importance of applying a tilak on their foreheads, how to attain salvation, and our dharma, traditions, and customs. This program was started to ensure our Hindus appreciate our Hindu Dharma and remain as Hindus instead of being the victims of falsehood. 

 From now on, we plan to go to a village every Monday to perform the Panchamruta Abhishekam to Lord Shiva in one of the houses. We will make the residents of the house perform the Abhishekam with their hands. We are also inviting nearby families to participate in this event.
If anyone wants to perform this pooja, they should contact Gopi Swami or volunteers. It will be done at no cost on behalf of the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation.

 Finally, Teertha prasadam was distributed, and Annadanam was conducted. Bhajans were also conducted.
