The HAV also funded the restoration of two large temples in the village of Kesalingayapalli and also implemented certain policies that made the village more Hindu, from ordering children to read the Bhagavad Gita every night to banning Christian evangelists from entering the village. Pleased by the success of their policies, the HAV also applied the same policies to other villages.[1]
