GHHF Ghar Waapasi in Anantapur District – Visited THREE Villages in Two Mandalas and welcomed 18 families
Thomas Paine
The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries, that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion. ... Whence arose all the horrid assassinations of whole nations of men, women, and infants, with which the Bible is filled;
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation is extremely happy to welcome four Pracharaks who have committed to work at the ground level and visited three villages to talk about the richness of Sanatana Dharma and how it is different from Christianity. The discussion started with one of the Priests named Sri Gopi Chary whom we know for the last four years. Near Anantapur, about ten kilometers away, GHHF helped build Sri Rama Temple and performed Pranaprathishta. Sri Gopi Chary is very accommodating and forward-looking. He came to the Dalit Village performed all pujas, tied Rakshas to all Dalits gave prasadam and offered theertham irrespective of their caste or status. He became extremely popular in the community.
From April 1st, under the guidance of Sri Gopi Chary, three Pracharaks have been going to villages with a mission to highlight the richness of Sanatana Dharma. They organized a meeting with the Christian families and gave information about the differences between Christianity and Hinduism. They distributed the 4-page document about the rights of Hindus and how to encounter Christian aggression.
They visited three villages – Idukallu, Karidee Palli, and 24th Ward in Kalyandurgh.
1) They talked to Sujata, the wife of Raghavendra who mentioned that they took baptism because of false promises made by the Pastor. Ever since they got converted they faced more problems and more pressure from the Pastor. They were very unhappy with their situation and decided to come back to Hinduism. They promised they will follow Hindu Dharma and would not be tempted to change.
2) In another village, they met ten Christians who have their own problems with Christianity. They are just waiting for the right time to Change. Sri Gopi Chary talked to them and decided to return to Hinduism. They agreed to put Sri Rama Picture in the house and also hoisted the Hanuman flag on the roof of their house.
It is our responsibility to compare Hinduism and Christianity and make them aware of the differences. We have prepared a 52 page Pocketbook narrating the differences between the two religions. It was an opener for many of those who embraced Christianity and made it easy for them to return to Hinduism.
