The atrocities against Hindus by CM Samuel Reddy.Examples of atrocities on Specific Hindu Temples. TIRUPATHI The state Govt. in association with Missionaries has particularly targeted the World famous Tirupathi temple. The subversive activities of Missionaries were zeroed at Tirumala temple itself. Attempted to tie up SVIMS Sri Venkateswara Institute for Medical Sciences with Christian Cherian Heart Foundation using 100 crores of TTD money. Padmavathi University Vice Chancellor Veena Noble Das appointed by Govt. is engaging in conversion activities on campus and is reported to be responsible for suicide of a student who was forced to convert (Andhra Jyothi, 3/30/3007). In July 2006, TV Journalist Om Prakash who attempted to record the Christian Evangelical activity was beaten up and his equipment was confiscated. SIMACHALAM Simachalam is the Ancient Temple of Narasimha Swamy. Very Recently the Temple has come under siege by Missionaries, who have been conducting aggressive conversions. In a span of 20 Months, four churches and 3 convent schools have come up in the vicinity at the foothills. Just one village Arilova has 35 churches. Out of 11,000 acres owned originally by temple, endowment department has record of only 8000 acres and it is believed that more than 3000 acres of land was encroached. BHADRACHALAM BHADRACHALAM is a famous temple dedicated to Lord Sri Ramachandra and situated on the banks of the sacred river Godavari. Govt. is currently planning to buy 900 acres of temple land at rate determined by Govt. for donation to victims of Polavaram project (Eenadu, 4/3/2007). On Hanuman Jayanthi day missionaries placed posters in the temple encouraging conversion (Eenadu, 5/24/06). The actions of evangelical Christian CM YSR Govt. suggests a well designed plan to decimate Hinduism in AP through destruction of Hindu Institutions and abetting massive illegal conversions. The entire state infrastructure is made available for these activities. Areas surrounding every major Hindu Temple has become center of intense conversion activity. Endowment Dept. permits enormous Christian prayer meeting on temple lands with advertisements in temples. Most important Hindu holidays such as Rama Navami are selected to be removed from Govt. holiday list. All activities are designed to encourage Hindus to convert and make difficult to practice Hinduism. The Major chunk of temple money is transferred for various political schemes while more than 40,000 Priests are given salary below Rs.500 /- Month and over 3,000 Priest are paid only Rs. 400 /- for the whole year. While Muslim and Christian institution funds are left untouched, Govt. relentlessly targets Hindu (e.g., TTD) money for various non-hindu projects.

Hindus are said to help build churches when first Syrian Christians came to India. They gave home to many persecuted people of the world such as Zoroastrians and Sufi Muslims. India is the only country in the world where Jews were never persecuted. Now, Hindus own existence is being threatened in their own homeland. Gandhiji who fought all his life for social justice & religious tolerance was being true to Hindu Gita. He called religious conversions engaged by missionaries the deadliest poison that ever sapped the fountain of truth. Selfish politicians like YSR are bent on destroying 10,000 year old Hindu Dharma. PLEASE DON%u2019T STANDBY & WATCH. TAKE ACTION & FIGHT FOR DHARMA. Demand that Govt. must allow Hindu Advisory Councils - nominated or elected by Hindu religious Leaders & Community to oversee the Endowment department and the TTD Board, and to provide guidance to Govt. as a first step, till denationalization is realized.
