January - February -March 2002 Progress Report
India Endowment Activity
In November 2001, Hindu Heritage Endowment, showing solid and
consistent growth, made eight grants to Hindu institutions in India,
compared to five made at the same time last year. One of the new
beneficiaries is an orphanage in Kerala, the Pazhassi Balamandiram
in Nalloornadu, Mananthavady (left), which received its first grant
for Rs. 10,000. HHE is gratified to be able to support this worthy
institution which cares for over thirty boys, bringing them up
meticulously according to Hindu values and traditions. The boys are
vegetarians and their schedule includes prayers in the morning,
bhajans in the evening and extra Hindu studies on school holidays.
Two other new beneficiaries are the Govardhan Peeth, of Puri, Orissa,
which was granted Rs. 3,000 and a temple yet to be selected which
will receive Rs. 4,000 from the Kerala Temple Trust, established by
Subha Varma and Kishore Pathial. Other grants issued were: 
1) Rs.
12,500 to Abirami Amman Temple, Tirukadaiyur, which provides a
monthly archana on each full moon day, 2) Rs. 13,000 to Iyarappan
Temple, Thiruvaiyaru (left) which sponsors a monthly puja and
feeding on ardra nakshatra day, 3) Rs. 10,300 to Kapaleeshvara
Orphanage in Chennai, 4) Rs. 4,000 to the Tirumular Sannidhi in
Thiruvavadhuthurai for shrine upkeep, and 5) Rs. 4,000 to Vishwamata
Gayatri Trust, New Delhi, of Swami Pragyanand, for general support.
Two other HHE endowments for India have been establishedthe Swami
Agnivesh Endowment Fund and the Udayan Care Endowment Fund. They
will be given grants as soon as the endowment grows to sufficient
size, probably by November 2002 for one of them.
Our Indian Representatives
Hindu Heritage Endowment has two representatives in India, L. Nellaiappan in Chennai for the South and Rajiv Malik in Delhi for the North. Both representatives visit the beneficiary institutions regularly, personally delivering the grants, obtaining receipts and discussing issues that arise. On occasion they travel to inspect sites where construction or other works are in progress. Grants to institutions in India are made through HHE's affiliate organization Sanmarga Trust, India which provides additional documentation and control over the funds.
An Alternative To Direct Donations
Normally, when a donor in the USA gives to Hindu institutions in India or another country, and does so directly, he does not qualify for an income tax charitable deduction. If you are in this situation, do consider HHE as an alternative which provides you with a tax deduction, while the institution of your choice still receives the same amount of gift. At the same time, an endowment at HHE would build, providing permanent support for the institution. Write or e-mail for further details.
