Shri Kamal Kumar Swami - A Proï¬Âle
Shri Kamal Kumar Swami, is a fearless and tire-less
ï¬Âghter who fought against Governmentlooting of Hindu temples, thereby driving theminto extinction. In Andhra Pradesh, 40% of thetemple lands which were supposed to be usedfor temple sustenance have been encroached bythe Government and their cronies. The formerevangelical Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh,had already converted some 20% of the State,and was openly advocating conversion of Hin-dus right at the temple, and Hindus were by andlarge oblivious of the situation.In this background, Shri Kamal Kumar Swamiconducted two successful Padayatras, coveringnearly 8500 kms, visiting thousands of villages.Shri Kamal Kumar Swami has brought awareness of this issue to mroe than 10 millionpeople. His Padayatras were convered by nearly 250 media articles. Working with theGlobal Hindu Heritage Foundation, he has brought numerous law-suits against the Gov-ernment of India. Today he is a recognized leader amongst the Hindus, and speaks outoften on injustices perpetrated against the Hindu community.The Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) works closely with him, in their objective toprotect, preserve, promote and maintain Hindu culture, Hindu temples, Mutts, Peethams,Endowments, Trusts and other Hindu institutions globally.In former times, when the Hindu Kings ruled India, they were disposed to protect the Hin-du institutions and culture. Not so today. Todayââ¬â¢s rulers are often not Hindu at all, and infact are brazenly anti-Hindu. When the ruler of a State is anti-Hindu in disposition, one of the ready targets for him (or her) is the money being collected in various Hindu temples,through the donations and offerings made by the Hindu devotees. Through the instrumentof the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act, enacted by many State Govern-ments, this money which legitimately belongs to the Hindu community is often diverted bythe hostile Government towards numerous non-Hindu proejcts and programs.In todayââ¬â¢s hostile environment, many Hindu temples and institutions are at risk. It isnecessary to take legal action, contest Government policy and mount pressure on theGovernments at State and Central levels to ensure that they do not misuse Hindu Templeproperties. In fact, the entire HRCE Acts need to be dismantled in India. This is a long termbattle - Kurukshetra! Shri Kamal Kumar Swami is one of the warriors in this battleï¬Âeld
