A spark of Sanatana Dharma in Africa!🙏🌺🚩
We need to reclaim this continent from the darkness of the mafia gangs pretending to be valid paths towards spirituality.

One of the earliest leader of Dharma in Africa was Swami Ghanananda, born in Senya Beruk village in central Ghana, born in a native polytheist Pagan religion in 1937. He journeyed to India due to an inner call, when his parents converted to monotheism.
He was seeking answers to the mysteries of the cosmos. He reached Rishikesh. Swami Krishnananda gave him sanyasa diksha in 1975 and initiated him to Vedanta and Yoga. He then opened a monastry in Accra in 1962. He gained Satgati in 2016.
Dharma is strong in few African islands like Mauritius (56 %) , Reunion (7%) and Seychelles (3%). But a blood bath is going on between the two versions of monotheism in the mainland Africa.
Madagascar with the largest followers of the native African traditions is a promising fertile land for Dharma. @IskconInc is also making inroads into some African cities. Some 25000 people in Lagos and Nigeria are now following Sanatana Dharma.
Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia have many ISKCON and Swami Narayan temples. Dharma can strengthen the native traditions of Africa and doesn't require any conversions or erasure of their ancestral traditions or the rejection of their African devi devatas.
Hope our gurus with millions of mass following pay attention to spread Dharma there.Government of Bharata too can play a role. This is one way we can make cultural investments for 100 to 300 years rather than focusing on the 5 year political election cycles.
