“People who care about animals tend to care about people. They don’t care about animals to the exclusion of people. Caring is not a finite resource and, even more than that, it’s like a muscle: the more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.” — Jonathan Foer    
This is summer is so hot even people are suffering due to lack of water, imagine the situation of a common man who cannot afford to by bottle or travel to fetch water. If people are suffering, what about poor cows, dogs, squirrels, dogs etc., on the street, we are witnessing so many lying dead on the streets. Cows are so divine for us, but it is our responsibility too to look after their needs instead of giving them a banana when we visit temples, there is lot more to be done for the cows.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has decided to do at least to the extent possible. Across 4 cities we arranged water in close to 25 areas based on the need. Particularly in Anantapur the need is so high, and water is so scarce, we are spending a lot just to refill twice a day. My people get up at 4am, fetching water from far of places and filling the bowls and taking care which is not easy as we see, there are people who also steal water from our centers. We are ready to spread these activities but with limited resources, finding a volunteer to serve is a challenge in this Kaliyuga.
LOOKING BACK
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.
