[GHHF] Ghar Waapasi in Addanki, Bapatla District AP; Welcomed 40 Christians Back to Hinduism
Alok K Bohara
"Meditation, yoga, and the idea of spiritual living have now become an accepted part of the mainstream society. These popular phenomena have also begun to come under objective scrutiny. As the science discovers the power of spirituality through various scientific tests, the essence of the Gita becomes ever more relevant to our modern society. The simple idea of meditation discovered five to six thousand years ago in the Rigveda (oldest of the four Vedas), and a preferred choice of the true knowledge seekers, has been scientifically shown to have power to alter brain waves.”
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to announce that Sri Subramanyam worked very hard going to several villages and convincing Christians to return to Hinduism. As you all aware that we are expanding our Ghar Waapasi program to other places in Andhra Pradesh. Also we have a Ghar Waapasi program in ten different locations in Assam, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu.
Addanki is a Municipal city in the newly created Bapatla district of the Indian State, Andhra Pradesh. Addanki North is the Mandal headquarters of Adamski Mandal in Ongole revenue division. Addanki is located on the bank of Gundlakamma river. This river is the main resource of drinking water for Addanki.
40 Christians Returned to Hindu Dharma
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is very happy to announce that Sri Subrahmanyam Marchella is working tirelessly to talk about the richness and greatness of Hindu Dharma in Addanki Mandalam for the last three months. Started Ghar Waapasi in and around the Addanki area. He has been visiting nearby villages and meeting both Hindu and Christian families.
GHHF welcomed 40 Christians back to Hindu Dharma – 11 couples and 18 singles. All of them signed a Ghar Waapasi Form saying that they voluntarily returning to Hinduism. As we know many of these Christians are under the spell of Christian Pastors and scare them to death by teaching that they will burn eternally if they go back to Hinduism. It is not easy for converted Christians to get courage and confidence to return to the religion of their fathers and forefathers. Sri Subrahmanyam had approached them several times before they agreed to return to Hinduism.
Sri Ashokji who has written several books and who actively promote Hindu ideology attended the function, spoke about the greatness of Hinduism and distributed items such as Sarees and Dhotis following Pujas and Homas. Hindu leaders in the community Sri Rama Chandra Murthy came as a Guest and gave valuable message for the returnees. Five Bala Samskar teachers also attended the event encouraging them to follow Sanatana Dharma. About 25 people from the community also attended the function in support of their reconversion. All the attendees appreciated the efforts of GHHF to bring back those Christians who left their original faith.
Some of the activities our Pracharak engaged are listed below:
· He is also coordinating Bala Samskar and initiated FIVE Sunday Schools (Bala Samskar)
· Visited Dharmavaram Village and met with Village elders in Sri Rama Temple and explained the plight of Hinduism and why we should be cautious of Christian missionaries.
· About 35 kilometers from Addanki. He visited Katta Kinda Palem where he talked to Hindu families about the importance of maintaining our customs and traditions. He mentioned that Hinduism is in danger because of the aggressive Christian missionaries and how they are trapping the Hindus in BG/ ST colonies.
Sri Subrahmanyam talked to several Christian Family Members and started talking about what is written in the Bible. He talked about the reservations accorded to SCs, BCs, and other backward classes and how they would lose if they got converted to Christianity. Talking about the Bible and what is written in the Bible shocked many people, both Christians, and Hindus. Pastors would not talk about the verse dealing with incest, cruelty, terrorism, extramarital relations, stoning to death and so many other topics.
As you all know that GHHF prepared a fifty-two-page small book comparing Bhagavad Gita and Bible. He read some of the verses from the Bible that are obscene, disgusting, and bloody. He asked them to bring their own Bible and showed them what is written in it about incest, raping, stoning to death, and wiping out humanity.
He also talked to several families or individuals and shared two documents – a four-page flyer explaining the individual rights accorded by the Constitution of India and how they are protected from the missionaries. The second document is a fifty-two-page booklet comparing and contrasting Bhagavad Gita and Bible. Like most Hindus, it was a surprise for them to know that they can repel the Christian aggression, force, and false propaganda. Our Pracharak explained the real nature of Christianity is involved in killings, murders, rapes, looting, burning, stoning to death, and such violent acts throughout history.
While talking about the Bible, he mentioned what is written in the Bible. It says in Genesis in Chapter seven verse 4 that “I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.”
Many Christians are not aware of what is written in the Bible. They did not want to answer as to why God would be so hateful toward every living being and wanted to destroy them from the face of the earth. Bible also talks about prostitution and how they should be burned to death.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
