CROSSING OVER ... 1

🕉 The liberal, universal, all-embracing Sanatan Dharma will triumph over the current coercive religions of the world. People within the cage of these coercive religions are feeling suffocated and seek refuge in the Sanatan Dharma. Will we comply with their articulate and inarticulate entreaties for acceptance into our fold? If so, how? What shall be the modus operandi for these persecuted ones to escape the corrosive clutches of their subjugating faiths and breathe the fresh air of freedom amidst the enlivening atmosphere of the Sanatan Dharma? Is there a method in place whereby they may cross over to our fold and live free of the fear of reprisal from adherents of their forsaken faith? Which are the organisations they can approach for acceptance and protection against possible consequences of apostasy? If their relatives reject them for walking out of their faith, will we give them shelter, familial love and care that can make their acceptance of the Sanatan Dharma an exercise in bliss rather than a painful process of reassimilation? These are thoughts worth pondering as we propagate our Dharma with its due practical consequences. We must chart out practical measures to meet with the challenges that inevitably arise with fresh converts crossing over to our fold. 🕉
