ADILABAD, INDIA, August 31, 2003: Eighteen Christians belonging to one

family in Adilabad town reconverted to Hinduism on Sunday. The

reconversion and purification ceremonies were performed at 9:00 am at

Gopala Krishna Mutt by its Mathadhipati (head monk), Sri Sri Sri

Yogananda Swami, in a tranquil atmosphere. Members of the local Vishwa

Hindu Parishad, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and other Sangh Parivar

organizations, Municipal Chairman Lala Radheshyam and local

representatives of the media were also present. The persons who

underwent Shuddhi ceremony told the small gathering that they were

re-embracing Hinduism of their own volition. At around 8"30 am, the 18

persons including three women and 11 children and youth led by the four

brothers arrived at the Gopala Krishna Mutt to a quiet welcome. The

four brothers Manohar, Israel, Bhushan and Samuel are all government

employees working in different departments. They stressed on the fact

that until about 50 years ago, their ancestors were Hindus. They

acknowledged the greatness of Hinduism and wanted to reexperience it.

Hence, their reconversion.
