ROURKELA, ORISSA, INDIA, October 17, 2004: In a major reconversion

drive by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), as many as 336 tribals of 80

families in 11 villages under Sundargarh district of Orissa were

reconverted to Hinduism at a special function in Baridia on Sunday.

Over 2,500 women in a kalas yatra arrived at the site where the tribal

Christians, including 144 men, 117 women and 75 children, were

reconverted to Hinduism through a Sudhikriya programme organized by the

VHP. The all-India general secretary, Mohan Joshi, conducted the yagyan

(fire worship) at the site in presence of several other top VHP leaders

of the State.The reconverted persons were offered dhoti, saree and

photographs of various Deities after the ceremony.

What an excercise in futility. "Now I'm a Hindu...Now I am a Christian...Now I am a Hindu again...I wonder what I will be next week?"

 

I remember as a small boy getting invitations from two families to attend services at their respective churchs on the same Sunday. But my friend told me that if I went to his church as a new person I would receive a candy bar. Guess where I went.

 

Religious designations have no value before the Lord.
