CONVERTS TO HINDUISM ARE FAR MORE COMMITTED TO THE DHARMA THAN HINDUS BORN INTO THE FOLD

A convert to Hinduism is much more aware of the civilisational dangers that Hindus face than Hindus born into the fold. And they are far more committed to saving the Hindus from potential and real threats. This is because they are Hindus not by birth but by conviction, by choice. They have themselves gone through the exclusiveness, the narrowness, the intolerance and the persecution of their former faiths which prompted them to change faith. And where better to seek refuge than in the arms of the Mother Faith, the Sanātan Dharma which in the glowing description of Swami Vivekananda in his inaugural speech at the Chicago Parliament of Religions is 'the mother of all religions'?

Hindus will be better off converting others to their fold and, so, expanding their domain instead of covering up indolence in this regard by preaching to their own hearts universality with respect to proselytising faiths like Islam and Christianity and allowing fellow Hindus to ceaselessly get converted to these Abrahamic faiths. It is high time to safeguard Hindu interests and to give up secular or liberal pretence. And most importantly Hindus must practise Hinduism. Chanting, meditating, reading the scriptures and associating with the holy ones---these are a must. 🕉 Hindu!
