Conversion is Sin According to Hinduism.


Conversion is Sin According to Hinduism



In Hinduism, conversion does not exist because every child belongs to the Almighty God. Everyone is on His list.

If a person converts into other religions, it is a sin. No matter what religious scriptures from different faith have described, this one single truth must be looked into consideration by every human on this planet. This fits every religion on earth.

Why? All the scriptures claim that there is only one God; God is the Almighty, the great, the omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresence … etc. The supreme God supposedly created the earth, human, religions, you, me and etc. Every religion claims nothing will move without God’s consent, every single thing is bounded by His will. I believe that all the faiths on earth accept this truth. The all-knowing God, who placed the moons, planets, earth, etc. in the right places, do you think He might put you in the wrong place (family of faith)?

If you believe in God, there is no choice, you have to admit this truth. Thus, you have to read further. For example, if you are a Christian, for you, everything had happened, was happening, and will happen by God’s will. Who created the world? Who created you? Who has given Christianity to the world? Definitely, your answer is the Almighty God. That is a perfect answer, as a Christian you suppose to bear it by heart and soul. The same goes for other religious order members, when I talk to them they admit this truth. They said everything is by God.

I am a Hindu. As a Hindu, I should say the same truth. As a Hindu, I would like to ask the other faith followers. Who had created me? Who had created my parents? It is supposed the same God as your faith claims. Correct me if I am wrong!

We must think further, who created Hinduism? Who created other faiths?  I guess the answer is the same God if the same God responsible for everything, the Hinduism (Sanathana Dharma) must be created by the same God.
  
When we think deeply, more related questions need to be raised. The most important question is, who chooses our parents when we born into this world? It is supposed to be God’s will alone to make such a choice that a person has to be born into a particular faith. I realized that I didn’t choose to be born as a Hindu. I was chosen to be born as a Hindu by God Himself. I only knew that I am a Hindu through my parents. I think all of you knew your faith from your parents too. I believe everyone, every soul born on earth by His will. I am the chosen one. If this offends you, please forgive me, but the truth is all of us are chosen. We are the same human race. Now, as humans, ask yourself the above questions but I believe all of us are the chosen ones. God chooses us to be born in a particular faith that suits us. We are God’s child, don’t doubt this.

 A further question is if everything is by His will alone, who am I to change His will? If I listen to somebody from different faith and convert to their religion, this means I am going against His will. As we know whoever goes against Him is a sinner. Then I have to go to hell! Ask yourself these questions, is it sin if convert into different faith?  Converting others into your faith is also a sin? Judge yourself.
Hinduism does not accept conversion.
 Why there is no conversion in Hinduism? Hindus believe that God is one. All the human race came or is coming from the same God. Every single thing happens because of God. It is His will.  Human beings cannot change His will. Whoever goes against His will, is a sinner. By changing one's faith is contradicting His will. Human beings are given full freedom to decide in believing Him, but within a number of re-birth, we must reach the finishing line, which is reaching God (moksha). Hindus were unobtrusive on conversion; it does not mean that we accept conversion. Conversion is a sin according to many religions including Hinduism. Hindus were never against conversion because we believe we can pray the Almighty God in any name and any method as we like as long as in the faith of God. There are thousands of former Hindus (converted ) around the globe.

 Conversion is not the real issue for Hindus as a whole. It is a purely personal right of the person.  The person who converts into different faith is solely responsible for his actions. By converting into a different religion, he is actually running away from his duty (karma) chosen by God Himself. The person has to pay for that. I believe that he has to be born again to fulfill his duty. Anyway, the deal is between God and the person himself.  We, the Hindus got no objection to conversion, because during ‘judgment’ the person has to answer not us. My advice is to remain who you are (your birth faith), listen to your heart, pray for the God chosen for you, and follow what God says. Remember God is one.

Arulattam/Trance and Saiva Siddhantam

 Arulattam/ Trance and Saiva Siddhantam Meaning of Trance Trance is actually when a bhakta reaches the height of Bhakti (paravasam), after went through vratham, pujas, meditations, etc., the mind is fully engrossed with the deity one prays,  the atma will be connected with the Paramporul within one’s body. The maya veil is removed for a moment, thus the sparks of the ‘projected’/believed deity/paramporul will manifest in the physical body of the person. (The deity projected is based to past karmic account actually). That is the reason one in trance will cry, yell, dance, etc because the joy of the temporary union with the deity. The ‘projected’/believed appearance is based on what deity one prays. If one projected Kaliaman, the Kaliamman will manifest, if Muneeswarar then Muneeswarar will be manifested. Most bhaktas don’t go for Murugan, Sivan or Ganapathy because it is considered difficult or seen as a higher deity. But if one really projected, these deities also will manifest (karmic
