*GHHF Christian Pastor conducted illegal Proselytizing on Seven Hills of
Balaji Temple; Hindus were outraged; Pastor and others were arrested.*
*“The Christian god is a three headed monster; cruel, vengeful and
capricious. If one wishes to know more of this raging, three headed
beast-like god, one only needs to look at the caliber of people who say
they serve him. They are always of two classes: fools and hypocrites.”**
Thomas Jefferson, Third President of United States.*
*A video titled “Sudhir Mondithoka – Christian Conversions in Tirumala &
Preying on Kids” is creating an uproar among Hindus due to the fact that
the Conversion effort is being done openly on Seven Hills and demeaning the
religion and even denouncing the most powerful Deity, Sri Venkateswara
Swamy. Pastor Sudhir started his trip to Seven Hill starting from the
entrance all the way through Ananda Nilayam and praying for the souls of
all Hindus who are visiting the Lord Venkateswara Temple. He repeatedly
urged his foreign Missionaries for financial support to carry out the
gospel mission to save the LOST soul.*
Christian missionaries are accusing Hinduism as false religion and trying
to convert Hindus into Christianity. Not only they engage in conversions in
the public schools and colleges by luring the students to medical and
engineering colleges, they have been engaging in proselytization and
conversions activities near the Hindu Temples as well as on the premises of
the Temples. Now the Christians are targeting the most sacred place for
Hindus, Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple, popularly known as Tirumala
Tirupathi Devasthanam (TTD).
Recognizing the rampant efforts of Christians to proselytize on the
Tirumala Hills, knowing well that many employees of the TTD engaged in
distribution of the Christian literature, and being aware that many
employees are Christians luring the innocent devotees into Christianity,
Government of Andhra Pradesh issued orders prohibiting proselytization.
In 2007 AP government issued *two ordinances*; 1) prohibiting the
proselytization on the TTD Hill and 2) Declaring TTD and about 20 other
religious places as Divya Kshetrams.
*Global Hindu Heritage Foundation *(GHHF) was fortunate to witness these
two ordinances issued in 2007. In fact Sri I V Subba Rao, IAS, the then
Principle Secretary of Revenue Department, personally handed over these two
ordinance to GHHF in a public program conducted on June 16, at Satyasai
Nigamagamam Auditorium in Hyderabad. Sri Subba Rao gave a very powerful
speech to preserve our Hindu Temples and Hinduism and also mentioned that
he was fully supportive of GHHF activities and it is the responsibility of
every Hindu to be part of the preservation of our culture.
GHHF summarized the events on July 2, 2007 in our communication as follows:
*Two Ordinances*
*During our visit to Hyderabad, two significant ordinances were issued by
the government of Andhra Pradesh.: 1) The Government said the "Tirumala
Divya Kshetram", the name of the holy place, shall comprise the seven hills
of Seshadri, Garudadri, Venkatadri, Narayanadri, Vrishabhadri, Vrishadri
and Anjanadri, right from the foothills, the holy theerthams and the main
shrine. Roads and footpaths leading up to the temple, including the first
and second ghat roads between Tirupati and Tirumala, and the motorable road
from Tirumala to Papanasanam were declared part of the Kshetram. 2 Andhra
Pradesh Government has finally issued an ordinance empowering the state
to prohibit propagation of other religion in places of worship. *The
Government with a view to maintain public order, tranquility and serenity
of a place of worship or prayer, prohibits propagation of a religion other
than the religion traditionally practiced at such places, by words, either
spoken or written or signs or by visible representation or distribution of
any printed material or other forms of religious literature. **
*The Conversion Video – A case for ARREST and PERSECUTION*
*Sudhir Mondithoka*, Director, Immanuel Baptist Ministries of India,
Hyderabad has produced this video on the Seven Hills to show to his
American Missionaries who fund his lucrative missionary activities.
*VAN:* He was driving Mahindra Van with license plate: *AP16BM0568*
* Please watch this outrageous Video.*

*PURPOSE of “Faith International Partners” *
*In their Website, (**http://fip1040.org/*
<http://globalhinduheritagefoundation.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=0cefbe8fbf60e006f30df206a&id=98e7fa43b9&e=65f39606bf>*)
Faith International Partners, an American based missionary outfit, **exists
to mobilize national Church-planting pastors in the 10/40 window and beyond
to preach the gospel, plant churches, and disciple their own people.*
*There are four billion people in this area of the world, and virtually all
of these 67 countries are either Buddhists, Communists, Hindus, or Islamic.
They are 95% un-evangelized due to the vast majority of them forbidding
western Christian missionaries to do long term work, yet we will still be
held accountable at the Judgment Seat of Christ for His mandate to
“...preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).*
*Since the door is closed to western missionaries, we are going through
“the window” of raising support for these indigenous men of God. As Saul
from Tarsus, Celicia, partnered with the church of Antioch, Syria, we are
creating partnerships between the church-planters of third-world countries
in the 10/40 window and the churches and Christians of America.*
*AMERICAN ADDRESS: His American Missionaries* who support and fund his
conversion activities are: Faith International Partners, 252 McMurty Road,
Hendersonville, TN 37075, Phone: 615-822-4229; [email protected].
His Foreign Missionaries frequently visit India to see the number of souls
harvested with their eyes.
Soul vendors like *Sudhir Mondithoka* frequently send their project reports
(how conversions are going) to foreign Missionaries to justify their funds
and request for more foreign funds. This video is one example of the
reports they send to the foreign missionaries.
In one of his earlier reports he sent to foreign missionaries, Sudhir talks
about the Elephant God. It reads “*In this video you can see how Hindus
worship their Elephant shaped god in Hyderabad. They do not know the Living
God and they are in darkness and under the bondage! Please pray that GOD
would make Himself known to them as we preach the God of the Bible and
teach about the Salvation Jesus Christ brought to Men by his own sacrifice
on the cross of Calvary! My heart grieves about their lost condition. Pray
with me for their souls*.”
*Following is a list of his derogatory Remarks*
* By showing a Hill at the entrance to TTD, he says that the Jesus
Christ is the Rock himself, now the devil occupied this place. In the
modern world, it is occupied and Venkateswara Temple was built. This area
originally belongs to Jesus. Devil has occupied this place. Jesus Christ
will reign supreme and one of these days they will be overthrown. It is his
responsibility to take the Gospel bravely and get people saved. Here the
word “saved” means accepting Jesus as the only true God and getting saved
from the Hell.
* It is a tremendous opportunity as the God kept the doors wide open for
us.
* Millions of people come to Tirumala Tirupathi to worship God. It is
small “g” in God meaning to demean the Hindu God Lord Venkateswara.
* This Temple is located on Seven Hills, it is a beautiful place, a very
popular place; but people are LOST.
* Many Christians are facing many difficulties here implying that many
of them are employed on the Hill, they practice their faith here and
distribute missionary literature even in the prohibited areas.
* Addressing his missionaries in USA, he says, “Since you give to us
financially and you pry continually, God is making us profitable and save
the souls.”
* Millions of people come here to pray the false idol. Our burden is to
pray for them and come to the real God so that their lives will be
meaningful.
* People come from all over the world to pray this God, small “g”.
* Those that come are becoming impoverished, because of untruth and
because of darkness.
* He was asking Jesus to find out all the “lost sheep” and bring them to
savior.
* He says police are keeping an eye on them but Jesus Christ cannot be
hid or controlled, cannot be stopped. By pointing to the pilgrims he says
that they are “lost souls.” The passion for the lost souls is such that we
are able to pay any price to win battle to fight the devils.
* Pointing to the people going to have Darshan of Lord of the seven
hills, he says our hearts are filled with much burden for these lost
people. The glorious gospel of Jesus Christ needs to be proclaimed all over
this world. He is asking his American Missionaries to pray for these souls.
* Pointing to the shoes left before entrance to the Temple, he says that
they leave these shoes because they think it is a holy ground, but it is
not. So help us to help them since they are lost.
* Pointing to the pilgrims, he says that they need salvation and they
need to be saved.
* He identified one young man and introduced him as Tirupalu from
Nellore District, prayed with him and shared with him the Gospel of Jesus
Christ. He said that few minutes back he was so disappointed, now he is a
happy man.
* People all over the world come here to Tirupathi to receive comfort
and some sort of encouragement, but they do not receive it. So pray for
these people. He is doing mighty work for the Lord. Now this man is saved.
Now my heart is rejoicing and this is happening all over because of your
encouragement.
* Then they leave Tirupathi and go to one of the schools where they prey
on small children with American Missionaries. They distribute missionary
literature and ask them to distribute to their friends.
*GOOD NEWS*
As I write this article, on October 30, it was announced that Pastor
Sudhir, along with three others who are seen proselytizing Hindus to
Christianity on Tirumala hills, have been taken into custody in Nellore
today. Vigilance department has confirmed his attempt of converting Hindus
after checking CCTV camera footage. He left for Tirumala at 5.15 PM on Sept
18 from Alipiri and reached the temple town at 6.15 PM with his 6 member
group and later carried out preaching. AP witnessed wide protests after
the video of Pastor Sudhir proselytizing on Tirumala went viral on internet.
*SUGGESTIONS FOR FUTURE ACTIONS*
1. Endowment Department and TTD should monitor all the religious places
and take appropriate actions to arrest and prosecute to the fullest anyone
who is engaged in illegal proselytization.
2. Endowment Department and TTD should announce publicly that anybody
who is not a Hindu in these two Institutions should resign forthwith.
3. Every employee in these two institutions must be sent a written
letter requesting them to resign if they are not Hindus.
4. Every Employee should be sent a letter to declare that they are
Hindus working in these two departments.
5. Anybody caught in the proselytizing as an employee should be fired
from the government.
6. Certain percentage of money should be set aside to make sure that the
Conversion is stopped, take appropriate action to engage in reconversion
efforts, send Hindu Missionaries to the villages, and organize lectures in
these villages and Dalit colonies by Peethadhipathis and other Swamijis.
7. No contracts should be issued to do business with any Temples by
other faith organizations.
8. These organizations must be certified as Hindu organizations before
any contract is issued.
9. Other faith organizations or people should not be allowed to operate
shops within a certain r distance of the Temple premises.
10. Religious Visa for foreigners should exclude conversion of Hindus to
other religions.
11. All foreigners who engage in conversion illegally, deceptively, and
through allurements must be arrested and prosecuted.
12. Endowment Department and TTD should make sure that no Minority
Educational Institution is allowed to set a quota to give admissions, since
seats are given for those who get converted.
13. Independent Special Investigative team must be established to
monitor the religious activities of the employees on a continuous basis,
occasionally visiting the neighborhoods to monitor the religious activities.
14. Endowment Department and TTD should advocate the repeal of Minority
Reservations based on either religion or caste. It should be purely based
on economic need.
15. Endowment Department and TTD should work toward changing the
constitution from being “Secular” to “Spiritual.”
