Does it make it more difficult?

ShegavichaRana · February 25, 2004

to convert the whole India for the last 2000 years, but have not succeded yet! But they are still hopeful!!! They do not know that, God's ways are mysterious and inscrutable. Pressent trend is one such step in the same direction. People should read India's sociopolitical history of last 1000 years carefully. If read, it would be observed that, during these 1000 years, from east to west and south to north, a lot of true saints were born and preached people and kept Sanatana Dharma in its place. Why? God willed it that way.
