[GHHF] Ghar Waapasi in Alluri Sitaramaraju District – Welcomed 126 families and closed 8 Prayer Halls
"One ounce of action worth more than tons of discussion.”
Sister Nivedita – Margaret Noble (1867-1911)
"Hinduism would not be eternal were it not constantly growing and spreading, and taking in new areas of experience. Precisely because it has this power of self-addition and re-adaptation, in greater degree than any other religion that the world has even seen, we believe it to be the one immortal faith."
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) in association with Sri Sai Datta Manasa Peetham has been planning to organize this Ghar Waapasi in the Vishakhapatnam area. Sri Sai Datta Manasa Swami and his disciples went to many villages and talked about the richness of our culture knowing that they became Christians not because of the message of the Bible but because of their financial circumstances, health-related issues, deceptive interpretation of Hindu scriptures, and demeaning the multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses.
126 Christians returned to Hindu Dharma in Agency Area
Welcomed 126 Families back to Hinduism. Sri Sai Datta Manasa Swamiji and his Pracharaks have been working on Ghar Waapasi for nearly two years. These families live in Majjaputtu Village in Peda Bayulu District in newly created Alluri Sitarama Raju district in Andhra Pradesh.
• This village has about 287 Families
• Out of these people, about 144 families are converted to Christianity
• 126 families returned to Hinduism; 18 families are still remaining Christians.
• It is a remote village very difficult to access.
• One has to climb down nearly 6 kilometers to enter the village.
• There are Eight prayer halls and one regular church.
• All these prayer halls are closed
• One of the prayer halls was converted to Hindu Mandir with Hanuman Vigraha established.
• They used to organize Bhajans on a regular basis tom welcome them back to Hinduism.
• They have taken an oath to remain in Hinduism.
All of them participated in Pujas and Homas. They have taken a vow to remain Hindus. They have been chanting Rama Nama and Hanuman Nama very frequently.
Sri Swamiji and his team have been visiting this village for several months.
Spoke to Reconverted Hindus by Sri Swamiji.
Sri Sai Datta Manasa Swami performed Puja inviting these 44 Christians back to Hinduism. He asked their name individually and asked them whether they will go Church or Devalayam. Each one said they will only go to the Temple, not the Church. He asked them to be on guard about the deceptive techniques Christians use to entrap them. He said that they have no business coming to the villages without approval. He said if somebody comes to our house, don’t you think they will tell who they are and why they come. If they are coming to convert our Hindus, we should drive them away. We should not even allow them to talk about their religion. For the sake of our culture, our children, we should practice our customs. All of them said they would protect Sanatana Dharma and would resist the Christian aggression.
Sri Sai Datta Manasa Swami has been trekking these remote villages for several years. He has a very good knowledge of the area, its valleys, its accessibility, and the right time to visit the village. Many of these villages cannot be easily reached as there are no proper roads. GHHF appreciates his dedication and persistence to work in these remote villages and bring these Christians back to Hinduism.
Sri Sai Datta Mansa Swamy has been visiting this village for more than three months and started talking to you and seeking their help to help the needy. Then he started talking about the difference between Hinduism and Christianity. He emphasized the importance of the scientific nature of our Hindu customs and how our families maintain unity and look at the welfare of all the people irrespective of their religion. He gave several examples of hatred that are found in the Bible and compared them with Hindu scriptures that emphasize love, compassion, and peace.
Sri Swamiji goes to several small villages in the Agency area on a regular basis. Some of the villages cannot be reached by road. They are in remote places and Christians converted some of them. Pastors come to these remote villages once in a while, not on a regular basis. Swamiji visited these villages and talked about the differences between Hindu culture and Christianity. He started off by asking all those assembled Christians to chant Om Namo Narayanaya and Om Namah Sivaya three times in each mantra.
With persistence and determination, Sri Swamiji welcomed about 126 Christians back to Hinduism and honored them with Sarees, God’s picture, Kumkum, Turmeric, copper ring, and other items. Appropriately inviting them spiritually and by conducting religious ceremonies.
Any rational, objective and logical person would know how an illiterate person who cannot read or write even a single sentence becomes a Christian overnight and throws away the Hindu Gods' pictures and even steps on them to please the pastors. Christian Pastors are the cruelest and most deceptive people waiting like vultures to snatch away the Hindus.
The Bible is full of contradictions and also offensive to humanity irrespective of one’s faith. Sri Swamiji was able to convince the Youth about God’s qualities such as omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. Hatred as we see in the Bible is not the quality of any God.
We have provided enough information from the Bible about the abuse of idols, how Jesus propagated division in the families, how the churches create fear among the followers, and how it was sexually perverted. Sri Swamiji and his Associates have collected so much information about what is happening in the churches, how they are discriminating against the converted Dalits, how they are made to sit in the back seats, and how they are forced to contribute 10% of their income. They even showed how the Pastors live, their houses, and their lifestyles.
