Many believe that financial gain is behind conversions. Let me talk about modus operandi of missionaries in Tribal and non tribal areas.
Tribal- they make or rent a huge house in tribal area. Put a large cross on it & start calling it a church. Education & Health is talked 1/n
in this building. Pregnant women, young girls are asked to visit. Starting happens with local maids, workers in building. Missionaries genuinely believe that they doing a great work & carrying the word of god to tribals. Women are gathered every weekend in the name of help. 2/n
Tribals love alcohol & have abuse problems. Women are targeted by abusive men, so church offers them some help. Talk to their men, give clothes & ration to kids. Gradually Christianity spreads.
Non Tribal Areas- Here they gather recently converted people & organise “Satsang” 3/n
every weekend. These satsangs sound like Hindu satsangs but are dedicated to Jesus Christ. Families are invited in this. They mark few verses of hindu books like Gita & read that in Satsang gatherings. Then they compare it with Bible. Declare Rama was a good man but not God. 4/n
Somehow they will convince the gathering that same is written in Hindu scriptures & all religions are basically same. The music, religious environment leaves a mark psychologically on minds of people who visited. They come for more next weekend. They also believe that they 5/n
doing nothing wrong because Gita is being read & good moral things are being taught to their children. After few weeks, they start keeping Bible in houses. Displace Rama from their house alters as “he is not god” they learnt. Then Jesus acquires a place. In last stage mockery 6/n
of Hindu culture starts. Like they target Goddess Kali particularly. Call her a demon and not a goddess. People start believing that too.
Same is the modus operandi of “Brahamkumari” people. Sister Shivani is married & with a kid but her organisation asks girls to live like 7/n
widow in White saree. They reject Hinduism and mock all gods. They try to look Hindu but in all approach, work just like Christian missionaries. It’s a must that we keep girls away from this BrahamKumari nonsense.
Financial gain is not always the cause. It’s psychological. N/N
