FATHER CHRISTMAS AND HIS HINDU CHILDREN

FATHER CHRISTMAS AND HIS HINDU CHILDREN 

The first step to conversion. This is the surreptitious plan of the Christians and their affiliates which lost us Gora at a later point and on our side Gouridi (Bachchhuda's wife) to the fold of Christianity. Many more on our side. The whole family of Putul Mashi (mother's maternal cousin). My students born of Hindu mother, Christian father; Christian mother, Hindu father; Hindu father, Muslim mother -- all converted to Christianity and Islam. However, in the cultural context this is inevitable and even welcome provided the Christian priests and nuns, and the Muslim clerics do not thereafter convert Hindus using trickery, deceit, inducement and force. 

Hindus must awake to Swamiji's call, to Shankaracharya's exhortation, to the thunderous roar of the Vedic Rishis. 'Svadharmey nidhanam shreyah paradharma bhayaavaha.'

This slow and imperceptible infiltration of the Hindu mind with mild doses of Christian concepts could prove counterproductive as well for the evangelical Christians as they unwittingly tend to vaccinate Hindus against eventual capitulation before this alien Semitic doctrinaire cult. But thus far we have somehow lost our numbers and continue to do so which is why a solid grounding in the Sanatan Dharma is what is required beyond natural consumption of the indigenous culture from festivals and peroodic ritual worship and allied practices. Generations of Hindu children must be brought in the purely rational-spiritual light of the Advaita Vedanta in its essential philosophic content and in its multifarious religiocultural derivatives which are the lifeblood of the nation. 🕉
