Mass Conversions
In 1998, the Seventh Adventist Church reported 225,000
members. In 2005, the numbers reached 825,000.
“Most of the people in the villages are from a Hindu
background, so it was gratifying to see so many people
accepting Jesus," said Stenbakken (Seventh Day Adventist).
This much conversion by just one organization. There are
several other organizations working in parallel.

Mass Conversions
! Goal of 100 Million Hindu Converts
" Declared by Reverend Pat Robertson in
Dallas Christian Conclave in Oct 2005
! Worldwide Goal of One Billion
" Declared in the same conclave, to make
up for losses in Europe

State Looting and Bloated
Bureaucracies
! State Governments own most of the
Hindu Temples (by way of Temple
Endowment Boards) whereas Mosques
and Churches have complete autonomy.
! 15% of temple income is used just to
pay the salaries of the 70,000 employees
of the Endowment Board in AP.

“In a period of 5 years, 50,000
(25%) temples closed for want
of funds. Priests do not want
to train their children
anymore.”
-- Report by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Contrast this with just one Seventh Day Adventist
Group’s plan to build 10,000 churches in India in just
one year (2005).

“An Empire of Unprecedented
Scale & Planning, with little
scruples.”
“Per 1989 data, globally, churches spend 145 billion
dollars, command four million full time workers, run
13,000 libraries, publish 22,000 periodicals and four
billion tracts a year, operate 1,890 radio and TV
stations. There are a quarter million foreign
missionaries, over 400 institutions to train them.”

Why Control of Media?
This is a key step required
before carrying out illegal
mass conversions with
deception and untruth

Strategies
Buy out the Politicians
!Apparently many politicians or their spouses
are converted using very large sums of money.
Specifics are hard to get because they do not
change their name or way of dress. One thing
for sure, the silence of many politicians cannot
be other than that bought with money.
(There are hearsays but cannot be confirmed is that leading people or
their spouses in BJP, TDP, DMK, Congress are converted).

Strategies
Ward off resistance from Hindu
organizations
By engineering news of attack using media as a tool.
E.g., Baripada Incident in Orissa: News that was splashed all over the
media and the Internet, that a Hindu fundamentalist raped a nun, was
found to be totally fabricated, upon later investigation. However, the
media does not even bother to publish later findings. The initial news
items are still being used to get more money from Churchgoers in
West. Many such cases are engineered or full of lies.

Defame any Hindu Saint that resists
Kanchi Sankaracharya Jayendra
Saraswati’s arrest on framed-up
charges has a lot to do with his
efforts in bringing Dalits into the
Hindu fold by building Hindu
temples in Dalit areas and
engaging in discussions with
them. (To this day no evidence
was found against him)

Strategies
Defame our Revered Hindu Gods, Saints,
Leaders and Scriptures
Reinterpret traditional stories of our saints
and scriptures to spread false stories. Many
interpretations implicate sexual impropriety
on our Gods, saints and leaders.
Some examples:-
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa: Homosexual
Mahatma Gandhi: Sexual pervert who spend life cleaning latrines
Sai Baba: Homosexual
Vivekananda: Attempt at seduction charge when in the US
Jayendra Saraswati: Improper relationships with a woman
Deepak Chopra: Extra-marital relationship

Fool the gullible with Hindu religious
practices, customs.
! Missionaries wear Sadhu dresses, perform
arati, and burn incense, to give impression
that very little has changed
! A prayer hall in Kerala has meditating
Jesus in Padmasana posture!

Strategies
Adoption of Hindu arts and culture
for their own ends (Acculturation)
! Recently Vatican was given Bharata Natyam
performance of Christ birth!
! Christian Yoga where names of asanas are
changed and no trace of Hinduism kept.

Strategies
Convert with goods and allurement
! Right to use a bore well pump in front of church (placed
with Government money) requires conversion. Called
Jesus Wells, this is targeted at drought areas.
! During disasters, goods are given to the suffering victims
subject to agreeing to convert. (For e.g., a boat is given to
a fisherman who is a Tsunami victim only if he agrees to
convert).

Strategies
Convert with goods and allurement
Poor Village Women have Jesus Wells dug right in front of
option walking ½ mile to fetch church. Pastor makes sure no
water, or convert and get it just Non-Believers can draw water.
100 yards away.

Strategies
Use of established Christian institutions
as new venues for conversion
!Christian schools and teachers’ colleges in some
areas demanding conversion for getting admitted
!Bible is openly read to children in these schools
!Children going to Christian schools with Hindu
customs are discouraged (Recent example of a
child in a Hyderabad school being beaten by his
teacher for wearing kumkum).

Strategies
Precise demographic and other data
!Missionaries have precise demographic data on
every village, the main obstacles for conversion,
etc.
!They print literally millions of books in every
language of India (the biggest such publishing
house is deceptively named ‘Om Publishing’).

Legitimizing Conversion
! Missionaries are now demanding constitutional
changes to provide converts the same status as
Scheduled and Backward Caste Hindus
! Many converts retain Hindu names and identities
fearing the loss of their reservation status

Missionary Finances
Fronted by service organizations such as
World Vision:
!These organizations parade as “secular” NGOs and
ironically even Hindus help them collect funds using
events such as benefit cricket matches for Tsunami
Disaster Relief. Only a small amount of the funds
are used for relief and development activities, rest
used for conversion.

Problems with
Conversion
Copy for General Distribution-Hitaya
Problems with Conversion
! Conversion is violence. It perpetrates violence by separating
families and telling many bad things about their religion.
! The guilt caused by conversion is masked by creating
hatred. Some missionaries even direct that guilt to demolish
temples. That is why Mahatma Gandhi and Vivekananda
called Conversion as Perversion.
! It will divide the country and sows the seeds for
unimaginable problems for the future of the country. The
four North Eastern States, where Hindus were in majority as
late as 1947, are now 75% to 95% Christian and are
engaging in terrorism and want to separate from India.

Problems with Conversion

is not just one lost, but one more enemy to
Hinduism”

What are the
Dangers to the
Hindus and India
Copy for General Distribution-Hitaya
Hindus can end up as refugees or have
to accept second class citizen status in
their own country
Today half million Hindus are
refugees for more than a
decade in Kashmir and the
world (and India) hardly care.
They are dying in large
numbers due to disease.
Why can’t this happen happen in other
states as the Muslim and Christian
populations increase?

Hindus with No Media Support will be
Increasingly Marginalised
1. Kashmir Pandits Plight
2. Temple Destruction in Malaysia
3. [Link]’s depiction of Hindu Gods
4. Hardly anything positive on Hindus & Hindu events in
Indian and Western Media (compare with the
coverage for other faiths)
5. Magnification of perceived Hindu weaknesses such
as casteism, dowry, etc. (which are really social
problems).

Summary
Hindus who are complacent, need to understand the
consequences, if the current situation continues.
Missionaries, in a democracy with a highly corrupt
political system, culturally deprived intelligentsia,
with billions of dollars and little scruples, have the
potential to convert a majority of India’s population in
just a few years. This, along with vote bank politics,
can result in complete marginalization of Hindus and
the division of India. Those who do not convert will
be at an enormous disadvantage economically and
spiritually.

Hindu Apathy and
Ignorance
Copy for General Distribution-Hitaya
Improper Response Of Hindus
Hindus either over-react or not act at all.
Both are not going to help. They need to
learn the PR and smoothness of Christian
organizations and the Organized Voting
Bloc philosophy of the Muslims.

Belief that Christianity is more humane
Hinduism is the only culture that did not invade, murder and
subjugate other countries or cultures for wealth and power, in the
name of religion.
Casteism pales in comparison with 50 million Africans killed in
slave boats, 200+ years of slavery with church justification of
Africans having no soul, lynchings of young African Americans,
decimation of Native Americans with things like disease infected
blankets, colonization of Africa, Americas and Asia and sapping
their economy totally causing famines and living skeletons, Nazi
holocaust of 10 million, burning of witches.
S. African leader Desmond Tutu said, “When missionaries came
we had the land and they had the bible, we closed our eyes for
prayer and opened them, only to find that they had the land and
we had the bible.”

Not Understanding the Greatness of
Hinduism
“If there is one place on the face of the earth where all
the dreams of living men have found a home from the
very earliest days when man began the dream of
existence, it is India....For more than 30 centuries, the
tree of vision, with all its thousand branches and their
millions of twigs, has sprung from this torrid land, the
burning womb of the Gods. It renews itself tirelessly
showing no signs of decay.”
