I am from Goa...my father expired when I was 6 yrs. I have 2 siblings younger and elder. My mother was given a offer to get converted to Christianity 30 yrs back.....my mother refused all such help provided by evangelists. She somehow struggled all her life , she made sure that we have good education.
Please give a hug to your mother for us. Such a wonderful lady. Inspiration to many.
Very proud of her. That's how our ancestors struggled to keep sanatan dharma suvive for almost 1000 years, but the present day ignorant people convert like sheep without even reading bible.
God bless your mother for staying with Sanatana Dharma!
My Pranam to the lady🙏🙏
I am proud of your mom. I bow to her in respect
I am a Hindu and till now I have faced attempts to convert me into Christianity twice.
Same here
Yes we have also heard about it from our maids!! They have these Christian women aggressively hounding them in their locality and even on the road, telling hateful lies about Hinduism and mocking our dharma repeatedly!! But my maids give them back tit for tat and ensure that they run away!! At this rate, I won't be surprised if my maids convert these Christians to Hinduism again and make them do ghar wapsi😂😂
@@freethinker9217 everyone might have faced those kinda attempts. especially in travels... 😂
Remain as a Hindu but improve your spirituality level. Recite Gayathri mantra which requesting Brahma (Supreme Consciousness) to show the higher path. The final path shall be Tantra Yoga or Path of Bliss where the spiritual practice will be purely meditation only. This is Yoga where your final journey is merging with God (Parama Purusha/Brahma)
Stay strong and don't give in!! We also know of some people who work for us and keep getting harassed by these people to convert and they also insult and mock our dharma and our Gods but the ladies who they harass don't give in but stay strong and give them fitting replies to their nonsense!!
If Hindu temples were allowed to keep their revenue we could build a trust or charitable organization to help people that wish to come back.
We should really do this. For the sake of the inner peace of these souls we have to do this.
Yes, temples should start the initiative to help the society directly if needed and build ecosystem to develop society spiritually.
We need spiritual side of India as well in it's growth if we want to see India different than failed western development model.
"If Hindu temples were allowed to keep their revenue"
I'm a South African Hindu and I can't for the life of me understand why Hindu temples in Hindu majority India with The BJP
in power have their hands tied? Why can't Hindus in their own land not fix the laws that can free their own temples?
This baffles me to no end.
Absolutely right!!!!
Definitely. We will not require these thieves anymore in parliament
This post does not deep enough. What are the flaws in the faith or belied system? Wha institutional anomalies are there? Merely taking stray examples of domestic oppression that can happen in any religious following is good enough. There is a whole mass of literature on women”s systemic abuse in brahmanic families. Esther might have a broader experience. You have not done enough justice by focusing so narrow in your narrative.
Abhijit Iyer Mitra was Right when he said there's Fundamental difference between First World Christianity and the Third World Christianity 😢
They both suck. Bible reading, Church going Christians have deep hate towards ‘others’.
Seculars are different case. He confused Christians with seculars.
Yes , I have lived in the Western world for 4 decades and this certainly is my observation . Christianity is far more aggressive , ugly , unethical and annoying in Bharat while in America more Christians are becoming Athiests . Churches are in a crisis with poor attendance . My Christian colleagues never talk about their religion !
It's the same. First world christians are just very sly and hide their intentions behind the veil of 'politeness'.. third world christians just behave directly cause of the feudal structures and lack of understanding of language and thought manipulation
bJP’s third term must ensure strict action against conversions.
I am so happy to convert to Christianity
@@user-hl8kd1oy4v
Cool... then lick the shoes of your british masters... converted slave...
That is a false goal to set. The questions we must ask ourselves is why so many Hindus convert ? I suspect this is a damning symptom of preaching of Hinduism to the masses because in effect there is no preaching of Hinduism to the masses as in Christianity or Islam.
To illustrate my point the only preaching I see and hear from the Arya Samaj is the so called *speech* which Swami Vivekanand made in America in 1920s in a cinema hall. Nothing more.

These folks should take inspiration from the Ex-Muslm movement. They give support to each other and thanks to social media, more and more are coming out in the open. This is in spite of the very real threat of physical violence. There's strength in numbers. This lady can help the people fed up with X'tianity to get in touch with one another.
Lower caste Hindus are fed up with Hindus due to caste discrimination that is the reason mostly tribals and Dalits convert to Christianity if you know about the caste system in Hindus..you can read about it.. Christianity in India is atleast much much better for them here
If Hindu temples had right over all its donations, we could have solved many of the questions which Esther Dhanraj madam presented for those wishing to return home
I was about to write to comment similar to yours. Yes freeing temples from state government, if will dolve lots of problems.

They sharply hit the morality of Hindus to an extent that even central government turned a deaf year to Hindus on their own territory!!!!!

Moreover the stupid Hindu Secularist and historians backstabbing the ones like us who wants to uplift the rest.
It's highly depressing where in a country just 1 community suffers because they don't have weapons and an entire organisational or institutional support 😢😢
I will tell you my story! I am tired fighting!!!! Tired not a single government till the Date was capable to atleast care of Ram Mandir.
Imagine just once
JUST ONCE IF INDIA COULD HAVE DONE WHAT ISRAEL IS DOING FOR ITS OWN PEOPLE
TRUST ME THINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN IN MUCH BETTER SHAPE THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY
Hindu temples are only worried about doing lavish puja..but not helping poor people or needy people at all😮
It will happen soon. Communist and "secular" appeasing governments are losing the long term political game.
Private Hindu temples are on their own. Only temples built by kings in the past is being in the control of gov now. Temples which are collectively built by a community or by the people of an area is also not controlled by the government.
Abrahamic religion starts with compulsory belief whether you really believe it or not. Means you can't disbelieve. You can't question. Hindus on other hand are seekers. They strive to evolve spiritually till they realize God.
With that being said I must also add that the old testament is actually the real bible and has immense depth! The new testament is European/White centric and one of the stupidest book in the planet because it is full of dogmas, forcing people to be blind believers! No wonder the new testament was written by a bunch of fools 40 years after Jesus was crucified:)
😂😂
As a kid my parents told me what to do! As an adult I am responsible for my own actions. No-one can compel me what to do. There is no such thing as "Compulsory Belief"! Maybe if you are crazy!
@@dinonazamodeen5694Your parents and fundamental religious belief system is not the same thing.
That's just bullshit. You cannot question your elders in hindu society.
It actually pains me that these missionaries are allowed to convert our fellow brethren. My family's lifelong workers have all converted to Christianity. They are all Adivasis in Gujarat and refuse to take Prashad from us, along with anything Hindu. They changed their names to Christian names and gave most of their money to this church. We had no idea this was happening until it was too late.

Church will rob them fully. Bible fills fear in their brains and hate in their hearts towards everyone else. Very dangerous self destructive ideology.

Keep exposing Christianity 🙏🙏🙏
What is there to expose? When you expose Christianity, that is, the teachings of Jesus, you will see the goods works of David Livingstone, Wilberforce, Ida Scudder, Mother Teresa, etc.
You know what made the West great -- The Christian values, according to atheist writers like Tom Holland.
When you keep exposing you will see things like Sati, Caste system, Child marriage, etc loom large before you.
And sure you will NOT agree... But if you set aside your ideology for the time being and travel to important places in the West or read the right books, you may get a hang of what I say.

What is the difference between Christians quitting and muslims quitting their religions . . ! Only difference seems to be death is sanctioned in islam for quitting whereas it is not in Christianity. Otherwise it seems to be the same story in both religions. Bribe - convert - abuse - give a feeling of neither here nor there. . .While converting people , they say mostly negative things about hindus as they can not say anything positive about their religion and then bribery completes the project. . .
You can't be serious. Christianity has the longest history for killing nonbelievers whom they invented a word for: heretics. All Muslims are not all religious zealots. Compare the Moorish era in Spain where Muslims allowed all religions to flourish and then when Christianity took over the Christians tortured and murdered Muslims and Jews in the Spanish Inquisition. If you have no sense of history then you live in a bubble of your own making.
LoL
If you see, quitting Christianity is safe. You have got it wrong .
Go through history, quitting Christianity will take you to ex-communication. Which is nothing short of stoning. Given the conditions of the MIddle east and Europe of the days (5 AD to 19 AD) if you are excommunicated, that means death.
Cos the Parishioners will not breach the order of their Shephard. Even today though Christians talk as if they are the Saints of morals, no Christian is free to think for himself or herself. If there is no Shephard Christianity will fall apart.
Because both Christianity and Islam are built on the basis of the assumption which is inalienable to their religion.
That is Christianity is the ONLY WAY. (Todate NO CHURCH-ENGLAND or Vatican has publicly proclaimed that other and alternate ways of thinking is possible. Nor do they have accepted other religions- because the moment they do so things will fall apart)
That's a stupid statement. How can you compare quitting in Islam to quitting in Christianity? How is it similar? Can you explain? There is no compulsion to be a Christian. You can quit anytime you want. Don't you think if there are bribes involved the newly converts will convert back to Hinduism or Islam or whatever as soon as the bribes stops? What negative things that re not facts about Hinduism are told during conversion that you have seen? Please explain?
wronge facts about hinduism:--
we believe in multiple god , while we don't(hindus worship one god which have different form source:-- gita") .
we worship idols which is stupid which makes more sense when you think that god is everywhere and in everyone so we worship every fking thing in universe , not just idols.
we have horrible caste system:-- but no , it's like saying christianity have slavery system just cause europe used to have it 100 year ago.
I had seen many vedio of missinory saying anti-India things.
@@zenjm6496
It is only recent. Only as far as 250 years ago, Christians used to kill same way. The kind of atrocities they did in Goa were bone chilling.
As an agnostic and having traveled across the length & breadth of the country, as well as foreign countries of other faiths, I can clearly see that environments and sensibilities of societies that have majority people belonging to the Christian & Buddhist faith are way better than those places that have a majority Muslim or Hindu faith. There are of course exceptions such as the rich middle east Islamic nations that are modernising very fast, hence becoming more progressive. In India, I enjoyed the vibes of Goa, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Sikkim, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh. These states have a considerable Buddhist or Christian populations. They are a lot more safer for women, are much more cleaner and people have better civic sense. I have never felt comfortable in conservative Muslim & Hindu areas, whereas religious Christian & Buddhist areas are much more pleasant to be in. Why do millions of Indians try so hard to work and live in other countries, all of whom are countries of other faiths.
True 💯
You can blame your Bengali bringing up for your prejudiced opinions considering they teach you hatred for Hindus right from the get go ever since they were hit in the head by Jyoti Basu and later on by Mamata. Christians looted money and used better and that somehow is more "egalitarian" for you. The joke is on you.
We Hindu's should distribute more dharmik books in school and University such as Bhagvat Geeta
If and ever such an ecosystem comes up, it should be the Hindus that are still living in extreme poverty but refuse to give up on their ancestral roots, their religion that should be taken care of with any kind of benefits. And then the people who have gone astray.
Dear Esther ji, you are a brave person. Keep it up.
RSS has to support Esther and help and protect those who want to be back as Hindus. Ghar Wapasi can happen only with organizational support.
I'm Christian I'm so proud to be Christian because i know who is true living God
Religion and God is fake.
Ignorant of you to believe in god, where was god in world wars where was god when the world was colonized and people were burnt alive by Christian missionaries, all religions are made up
When you have to justify this. That only moment you are lost. There is nothing called as crystian? You are just a follower of church policies. It's better to accept than manipulate.
Chruchian, not Christian. Jesus didn't even exist. You are a fool who has lent your brain to a vile organization crazy after power and money with followers having lollypop of mythical heaven in mouth.
Most organized religions have a total gang mentality. I always find it funny that God can create a universe that we can't even fully comprehend yet people think God needs them to carry his message and to force others onto the singular righteous path. Perhaps there are many paths and God speaks to each individual in a manner he sees fit.
There is no God and nothing was created, everything was already here.
@@Jancan20 Then that would make forcing others onto your religious path even dumber.
@@Jancan20 many believe there to be a divine power some might not believe in it and that's totally fine but about 90% of the total population belong to some religion

They are doing nothing but preaching their religion by brainwashing or forcing these people
If I have to explain it this way, many many tribal religion in Saudi Arabia are erased, presently how many zoroarstian parsis are there? even a good number of Hindus are converted into these abrahamic cult, how do you think indonesia is one of the largest Muslim country?

Good day Ester, My name is Jai Harichunder from South Africa, I have been a Christian for 32 years and left the church. I was searching for Christ Consciousness which the church was preaching but knew nothing about it when I asked the church that I want this Christ Consciousness. I was kicked out and I was saved from the darkness of the modern day church teachings. I then found Christ Consciousness in the Bhagavad Gita and went into Kriya yoga. I am now experiencing what John wrote in the book of Revelation about opening the 7 seals. I have given my entire life to Divine Mother, I would love to be on your podcast and I can share some great truths with you. Hope to hear from you soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Do not digest the bhagwad gita, Christianity is a cult which through colonialism murdered millions, pope issued papul bulls selling india and Africa to kings, leave this cult and become anything you like
Lol what are you saying? The seven seals of the plagues and diseases in John?
Jesus was a mythical character created by church to expand their power and money in order to have political control of countries.

It is desired of every human to know the truth so that they may be set free, but narrow is the path and but few it is that reach that goal!
many hindu organizations offer support .. agniveer is one of them ..
I am a Christian & it’s sad that people are being forced to convert or manipulated into it.. coming to Christ should not be forced & nobody should be given backlash for leaving.. converting people forcibly isn’t called evangelism.. only conveying the good news the gospel is evangelism. What people choose to do with their message is between them & God. By forcing conversion the whole meaning of the gospel is destroyed.
Don’t convert because someone is telling you to.. but don’t dismiss or generalise Christians as a whole. Look at the evidence available & do your own research. It’s unfortunate she didn’t taste the goodness of Christ Jesus like I did.
You are absolutely right Sister, conversion should not be forced.
Those who have not experienced Jesus will never understand His teaching. We should not blame people of other religion bcos we christian have not lived our life as true christian. In 1993 onwards I was suffering from depression ( reason i dont want to share) It was Jesus who healed me in 1998. Secondly In 2004 i suffered minor stroke as i was cheated in investing in japan life mattress. Top hospital doctors in my state told me I have to live like that no cure. Again in 2011 Jesus healed me of that stroke. Those who dont believe in Jesus should leave Christianity at the earliest and Ester is doing a good job and needs appreciation and support.
They are just putting false allegation against christian coz devil are walking behind their mind , they just hate christian bcoz we christian are worshipping the true living God, in Christianity we are thought to help and pray for needy but they says this as forcing them to convert, we know that christian is not about Religion or converting to Christianity for namesake without any good change in one's life is of no use but it is About changing one's life in good way and to walk in the way of Jesus teaching!!! Love is the central teaching and accepting Jesus as Lord and personal saviour is the central key , so force conversation don't work in Christianity coz even if a person convert to Christianity and don't have faith in Christ than it is of meaningless ,so we christian don't believe in force conversion and Gospel don't teach force conversion !!! Actually radical hindu hate christian bcoz people are leaving their impractical practices and teaching and fallowing a True Living God which they don't want to accept and don't want other to accept

Certain section of Indian society must clearly needs to understand that those deprived Indians who were and are in search of PROPER DIGNITY got converted to Christianity and Islam and still getting converted and money is an add-on offer. Now there are three aspects of this reality for further discussion :
1) Lot of certain Indian Hindu society still have feeling of Undignified treatment for them
2) Christianity is progressive and if you observe living standard of converted Christian then one can clearly understand this aspect
3) Hindus and Christians have one common adversary against them worldwide

Religion should be a personal matter. No religious education and indoctrination should be allowed till the age of 21 or graduation. After that most of the educated people become mature enough to understand that religion and politics are the two faces of the same coin.
Praan tyaag sakta hu par dharm ka sath nhi chor sakta. Dharm hai to main hu. जय श्री राम।
Religion is a personal relationship with God. Conversion is a personal choice and should not be forced. The greater the persecution of Christians, the bigger the blessing from God. Let the fruit speak of the tree.
That's religion according to protestants, a compromise made after the European wars of religion, that's not how religion is considered everywhere.

Great work, Esther ji. My two cents: if people analyse their religion and realise the truth, but don't want to come out in public with truth, it is OK. They know their realm, including their own nature, and should decide whether they can come out in the open.

How is this lady brave? No Christian cares if she left Christianity or not unlike some religions
I, as a Christian, DO "care." But by that I mean that I am sad *for her* that she has lost heaven. That does NOT mean that I will castigate or repudiate her! She is not my enemy. Rather, she is the victim of our enemy Satan. As a Christian, I will always care for (i.e. love) all people (whether they are a Christian or not) because Christ died and rose for all people in His great love.

Great job being done by Esther Dhanraj
This is a timely video. Anyone from any religion should be free to convert to any other. That is the mark of a mature society. Why violence? Why hate? That is not fitting for a mature civilization.
Who said we are a mature civilisation? Come on, look at the world around you; get real!
The Question of Indian Christians doesn't arise.
Christianity not originated in India and the followers of Christianity today forcibly converted by British through Atrocities.
These people faced atrocities and lost their language and culture Roots
Christianity was brought to India by Thomas, the disciple of Jesus, in the first century. There were Christians in India as long (if not longer!) than in the British Isles. Christianity is not a British or Western invention. It is an Eastern Religion. And it is for people of every nation, tribe, and language. Religion is not a language. Religion is not a culture. It is a personal thing between God and that individual. No one can be bought or bribed into a religion. That is fake, superficial, and not real. If someone became "Christian" because of a bag of rice, guess what? They were never a Christian! The Christian has a personal confession that there is sin in the world - that they themselves are sinners. Their own guilty conscience points to this. They do not claim to be better than anyone else in the world either. But the Christian knows and trusts that God sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die for his sins and the sins of the whole world. Jesus rose from the dead to assure everyone who trusts in him of forgiveness and eternal life. This is something that the Christian confesses that they themselves could not accomplish, but God did it for them as a free gift. The Muslim has to pray toward Mecca. The Hindu has to smash a coconut. But the Christian knows that he or she can't do anything. That is the difference between Christianity and every other religion. God himself is the One who has done it all for the believer in Jesus Christ. That is the good news that God shares with us. No bribery brings a person to this realization. That is fake. Yet, no government, organization, or movement can stop it either when it is a personal thing between an individual and God himself. They cannot stop God either. That also will fail.
The Christians have more martyrs than any other religion.
For start research about the Coptic Church of Egypt and the Underground Church of China
Not everyone takes dowry in HINDUS , for eg- north east don’t have dowry concept. Also many North Indians don’t take dowry either.

@@pranay1521 Yes many Indian are reforming their society issue but Missionaries exploting a Indian society issue for conversion
@@videolover1489 because they don't have anything positive to tell about their religion
@Neha_Singh98 - Why just north-east? There are hundreds of communities all over Bharat who don't do dowry. Also there are very many communities among us that are matriarchal. The Bunt community in Dakshina Kannada is one such Jati. There are a couple of Kshatriya communities under Nair/Menon Jati in Kerala that are matriarchal.
Why are most of the churches empty most of the time while Temples can't handle the crowd? Churches have become meditation-centres all across Americas and Europe.
Jai Jai Shree Ram. . . .the original and the oldest God, thousands of years before all the other gods of this present earth, who are just byproducts of the Original Vedas and Puranas . . .

Mam and Festival of BHARAT keep up the great service and keep educating the mass. Hindus need to be united and the Temples have to be freed.
The Abrahamic colonials new what they were doing its obvious obvious. Must bring in books by Dan Baker and Richard Dawkins and spread the message.
In Indonesia there tv channels reading out the Books for the public that kind of thing s are happening. Bless you Mam stay safe ❤
Esther Dhanraj you look beautiful with that binding and sindoor 🙏
My family is Christian as most of my friends, but none study the bible, philosophy, or anything about Sanatan Dharma. I like to follow Oso's method..."teach about Christ and God, keep the bottle, and change ingredients". They want to know more about the truth, but do not allow themselves to ask questions, so this is the way. I make no effort to convert or educate anyone, but when discussing such topics... I just keep the bottle, and change the ingredients. They are always thankful for insight.
The image of Jesus as we all know is actually not jesus
No more than that of gods in other religions.
It's true, except you either leave out the fact or are not willing to admit that idolatry is forbidden by God. False images are presented to followers by false teachers as a part of deception. i.e. causing Christian to sin.
@@deshmaa1177
Worshipping idols or a tree is no crime. There are religions who practice even worse rituals than merely worshipping idols.
BUddhism have idols of Buddha while Islam does not but the prophet of Islam married a 6 year old kid then who is better?
Idol worshipper or one who marry a kid?
What God forbid or not is another question some even say God does not exist.
@@GrandmasterTigerfist I speak of the true Living God and you speak of religions.
Dear Esther, I pray that you are touched by the love of Jesus!
Esther was touched by the Jesus. I pray that you aware of flawed Jesus loved. You should go to seminary and study christianity with open mind then you will find a true Jesus love. If Love of Jesus is so real then why Charles Templeton left christianity. Charles Templeton was a co founder evangelist with Billy Graham
I will think for you while you pray
Jesus was touched by God through Vedas, Upanishads, Puranas and meditation when he was in India for 17 years from the age of 13 to 30..kindly research with love and honesty and dwell deeply within and without for the truth.
Amen! Despite slamming Christianity, I don't believe she could deny Jesus. I pray for her as well!
@@deshmaa1177 She denies Jesus. Christians can't defend Jesus like Muslims can't defend Muhammad. Debate her. In Hinduism, You help in need without expecting anything back, but Christians help others and hope for conversation in return.
Is this an Old Video or nee one ?
What we call as 'Hinduism' is the distilled wisdom of a society that has survived around 5000 years of existence in its place of origin, the Indian sub-continent. I am disappointed that 'Hindus' have fallen into the trap of being called a 'religion' and 'conversion' back to 'Hinduism' or 'home coming'. Hinduism is not a religion. It is spiritual freedom. Anyone can believe in any God or faith and they can change this belief at any time during their lifetime in Hinduism or which is more appropriately called Sanatana Dharma or Eternal Law. Then, where is the question of 'conversion' or 'home coming'? Everyone in India knows what is Sanatana Dharma including Christians and Muslims. As Esther rightly points out, both Christianity and Islam provide a secular support system to its members. This system is not available to many disadvantaged sections of Hindus. That is why many disadvantaged souls convert either to Christianity or Islam, even if these religions do not lure them to their fold.
Indian Christian Churches are registered as societies under the societies act and the people who attend those churches are members of those societies. They have by-laws like any other society. They have democratic elections in those societies. In some states like Kerala and Tamilnadu, there are protracted litigation in the courts for the control of these societies. Since these are democratic societies, the hold of caste is less on these societies. On the other hand, the support structure provided in Hindu society is mostly caste-based. For example, a society of so-called educated brahmins will not allow the presence of a even better educated so-called other caste member. Hence, any 'home coming' Christian or Muslim will lose his/her well-provided support system when he/she 'comes back'. This is not the case in the West because the state provides social security. Hence Esther Dhanraj can enjoy that liberty of changing faith from the comfort of her home easily in the US or Europe than in India.
In Hinduism, even an atheist is considered a Hindu if he/she believes in the spiritual freedom of the self and others. In Christianity and Islam that freedom is not there. To become a member of a church, a person must believe in Christian dogma like the God being male, Jesus being his son, virgin birth of Jesus etc. The same applies to Muslims if they want to be a member of a mosque. This compulsion is not there in Hinduism. Many Hindus are not aware how fortunate and liberated they are from these religious dogmas. Now they are willingly falling into a trap which packages Hinduism as a religion and uses the same terminology used by Christians and Muslims. For those, I request them to see the series of videos called 'The Spiritual Heritage of India' by Swami Dayananda Saraswati.
Esther should talk to rss leadership to find a political solution, like pass laws etc
What's most amazing is that India is the mother of spirituality and has the key to end suffering, yet some have embraced Christianity, which is a new and immature religion based on following and worshiping a man. Time to get back to your ancestry and find the treasure that is hidden in plain sight.
80% Hindus wake up save sanathana dharma...This is the only land we Hindus have which is the land of Ramayana and Mahabaratha....Christianity is just 2.5% in India.
Thanks
Heard you madam. Just two questions come to mind. One, what according to you is/are the reason/s for tribals going back to their roots. And the second, you mentioned, "You know what Christianity can do"...now exactly what do you mean by this comment? Please do reply.
The tribals of India have roots in animism, not Hinduism. So a true Ghar Vapsi should send them back there, not to Hinduism!
Christianity arrived in India and thrived before taking hold in Europe.
The problem is not Christianity , it is the aggressive , militant, take no prisoners kind of proselytizing, missionaries, demonizing other faiths that is disturbing.
Teaching “ new converts” to hate and demonize their neighbours who choose to stay as a Hindu/ Jain etc is what will create a backlash.
Plenty of of Christians in India
Understand this, however, they have to speak and take charge.
In Kerala, Christians were quite happy to join muslims and control the government, however, now Christians also are victims of aggressive militant Islam, on par with Hindus.
Hindu and Christians have to work together or both will be victimized.
Bribery, brainwash, trick, threaten, .... all religious conversion tactics used by M and C. Loyola college offers a seat to students who convert. These people also pick on vulnerable people... people who are going through divorce, are ill, or going through temporary hardship. As if conversion gets rid of the problems. Also, they say nasty things against native Bharatiya religions (Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist).
sadly no south india is facing any crisis hence he will not understand what ur saying, south indians got money before facing the brutality os true islam and christianity which is very sad, in north ppl have realised what islam and christianity is in true form.
Madam, a true Christian is one who gets drawn towards Jesus and who lives by the words of Jesus. This is possible only when he or she is genuinely willing to take up the cross. Rest are all fake. You have not encountered Jesus yet.
By the way, I heard you saying that the so called converts need to be quiet because Christianity can do so many things - what things are you referring to? Are the converts threatened if they leave Christianity? You make it sound as though they are threatened 😂
Am wondering how much you get funded for the kind of these videos that you are trying to promote.
Doesn’t matter. Only those who have ears can hear.
Just because I have quit Christianity after marring a Hindu 35y back l was thrown out by my parents and relatives ,we weren't given our respective share from both families , most of family members are employed outside India but won't bother to get a job abroad for our kids ,this happens in cases if we follow Hinduism 😢
People were killed, burned, etc just because they were Christians i.e Orissa
This is because they don’t like you.
@@vanithav7339 like Hindus don't like untouchables
Obviously if you were a hindu and married a Christian. You would face the same. All inter religion couples face this.
Actions have consequences christian or hindu have to accept this reality.
Anyways your parents have legal right to decide who to pass their property. They have not done anything illegal.
How come christ is depicted as blonde with blue eyes although he was born in middle east.discrimation starts here.
Why are gou bothered about Jesus Christ if you do not believe un him. Do you suffer from some phobia or inferiority complex.. look only within your religion please.

How come Jesus is depicted as black in Ethiopia or with almond shaped eyes in China??? Jesus has been depicted in MANY different ways! And there is nothing wrong with it. I have a book of Christian imagery from India with Jesus depicted as an Indian. Jesus came for all people.
I wantcto make 2 quick points 1. Departing from one's faith does not mean that you've done the right thing.2. The Word of God says that in the last days people will have a form of godliness but will deny its power.......

Brothers and sisters. Christianity is not about converting anybody. Its about accepting the reality of Jesus or Yeshua. Historians accept the following facts: Jesus lived, he died, and his followers saw him physically after his death.

When I read the title, I thought she became enlightened and realized that all religions are cooked up stories and agendas. Once I watched the video, I understood that she just switched from one religion to another! Not based on enlightenment, but based on some other sentiments which is not touched upon even once during this 8 min video.
It is not necessary to reconvert. But the secularists claim those who move out of hinduism do so because of insults as lower castes and as such to defend their self-respect. But here as you say in actuality material interests like dowry are at work. This means not by the merits of the religion for sure.
Suppose hindus adopt similar allurements world won't hesitate to ban hindus' conversion methods as fraudulent one for it offers material but claims merits for seeking conversion.
Then how come there is high conversion in India to Christianity
Conversion is only among poor and illetrate people who dont know anything and are offered bribes.

The Christian conversion agenda in India largely failed just as it did in China and Japan.
Countries with ancient civilizations have their own ancient religions fused into their culture.
It makes the process of conversion almost impossible.
Evens Indians not in India are hard to convert as the missionaries dispatched to the Caribbean found out when trying to convert Indians there.
The low point of India where it was looted and brainwashed by foreign colonial powers is over.
A new dawn is rising based on Sanatan.
Is that with genuine knowledge of Christianity and it's philosophy that people convert to Christianity? Why do these Christian fishers try to buy them, instead of teaching them their philosophy? And that to, to the Indian people who are innocent and don't know anything about these predators or anything for that matter, out of the confort of their villages or society and in dire need of financial help.
What do you think? Why is that? Does this reflect the power of Christianity?
Why do you think many westerners are adopting Hinduism and Sanatan philosophy? And that too on their own without any intervention from India.

Well the Goa inquest was done after reading the so call HOLY which is NOT SO HOLY BIBLE. The kind of hatered the readers of the so called Holy Bible have for people who worship Monkey faced god or a elephant faced god or as you may call the cow dung hindus worshiping cow god. So please keep this shitary with your self.
@@Hindustani_jaago there is a misunderstanding among some Christians and many non-Christians as a result. The Bible clearly says, "No one can say 'Jesus is Lord' except by the Holy Spirit." No missionary, no pastor, no Christian, can convert anyone! It can ONLY be done by God himself! That means that no one should be pressured into "conversion." And at the same time, no one opposed to God can stop it either! It will happen in a person's heart regardless of human efforts for or against it. . . . Yet, all Christians are called to be witnesses. (Not persuasive or tricky advocates, but witnesses who say "This is what I know.") Jesus said, "You will be my witnesses." That is, they are to "give the reason for the hope that they have." A Christian can say "This is what I believe for myself." "This is what Jesus did for me - and what I believe he did for all people! - He died and rose for the salvation of the world." But that doesn't mean anyone else has to believe them. Only God can change someone's heart. But a Christian in entitled to his beliefs - and respectfully expressing his beliefs - himself. This is especially true when both the Christian and the non-Christian understand that the Bible itself says that no Christian is ever able to convert another person! Working in the heart is only done by God himself.
@@Hindustani_jaago We would like to share the good news of Jesus being the son of God and us experiencing His goodness.
We honestly proclaim Jesus not for increasing the Christian population - we just don’t care about the numbers. We genuinely care for the people around us. It is a duty given to us. And we do it out of love. Not for the numbers please.
