First of all, the govt allowed church activities in Tirupati causing tension amojng communities. Now the same govt has banned such activities, again causing tension. This is how they keep themselves and people busy.

Kiran you are so right. Hindus keep sleeping while their leaders plunder their wealth. First, kick out the CM who is a crook. 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. More Data on Assault on Hindu Institutions Endorsed by Hindu Community at large, Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America, Bangalore Initiative for Religious Dialogue (Christians Against Proselytization), Indian American Intellectuals Forum.

Well done Raju, I feel these facts and truths should be brought forward on a larger stage than these kind of forums. Its the crucial hour for all the Hindus to act..Now or Never...especially the teen generation, who are really misguided by the media and Life style....Wake up brothers..we are looosing precious time.....We formed a forum in our local area and celebrating all our Hindu festivals together...and conducting debates about Hindu Mythology, relegion and Philosophy among the Young kids, it created a great impact now. Even without advertisement or propogation, nearly 10,000 people voluntarily participated in Shri Rama Navami....

Simple solution for this is word of mouth activism. You tell your parents and siblings and friends. Let them tell others. that is it after two year this govt will go. As simple as that, internet will not work just word of mouth tell them this govt will change the whole situation, will change the demography of the next generation. Once this govt goes and people know not politician will again play with fire. Jai Hind
