Your browser says "hey wait a minute, the certificate is for wordpress.com but the site is western-hindu.org. I'd better warn the user that this is not the right site". Depending on your browser that could be by a red crossed out https or by nasty popups asking you to confirm that you want to go to the page.

You don't need to do anything about it, just give people the http:// url, not the https:// one.

Anyone know what this means, the cause and what I need to do about it?

Many thanks
