Appeal to stop the Seven Faith Hill project by Shri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple of UK
Forum for Hindu Awakening
October 2, 2015
Namaskar dear Supporters of Hinduism,
Alert Hindus notified Forum for Hindu Awakening (FHA), about the “Seven Faith Hills” project by Shri Balaji Temple of UK, and subsequent establishment of “Islamic Faith Hill UK”, and how this can be harmful to Hindus and Hindu Dharma. Accordingly, Forum for Hindu Awakening wrote to the chairman of the temple, Dr. VP. Narayan Rao, and the temple committee, but there has been no response from the temple.
The “Salaam Shalom Shanti Peace Faith Hill Project” and subsequent establishment of the “Islamic Faith Hill UK” which is going to be unveiled in September 2015 by Shri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple of UK. As per the Seven Faith Hills project, faith hills representing Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Sikhism and Zoroastrianism will be established in the Hindu Temple campus. This defeats the purpose of the Hindu Temple where devout Hindus gather to worship. Allowing monuments of other faiths within the Hindu Temple campus is also an invitation to anti-Hindu activities and malpractices in temple like conversions, love jihad, take over of temple property (land jihad), consumption of non-vegetarian food etc.
Below we have given some pictures of interfaith hills which have been established in past in campus of Balaji temple
1. Faith hill representing Christianity bears a plaque, which was opened on 15th November 2008.
2. In 2013 the Zoroastrian Parsi Hill was inaugurated and a Farohar was unveiled.
3. They are currently working on dedicating Jewish and Islamic hills in Autumn 2015 with project titled “Salaam Shalom Shanti Peace”.
Please visit Balaji temple’s interfaith page at following link for more details of the project:
We also came across news in 2011 about the temple trustees donating the Hindu temple funds, which were meant for the construction of the temple in response to St. Marys Hospice fundraising news appeal.
Temple’s foreign coins donation valued at £1.5k
We now request you to appeal lawfully and peacefully to stop this Interfaith Hill Project. We also suggest you to write and request them to stop this project.
