Juan (Joan) Mascaro (1897 - 1987)

"The Gita is like a little shrine in a vast temple, a temple that is both a theatre and a fair of this world …  Self harmony, or self-control, is again and again praised in the Bhagavad Gita - All perfection in action is a form of self-control, and this sense of perfection is the essence of the Karma yoga of the Gita. The artist must have self-control in the moment of creation, and all work well done requires self-control. But the Bhagavad Gita wants us to transform our whole life into an act of creation."

Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) in association with Nitya Satyam has been organizing Ghar Waapasi in the Telangana area. Lakshmi Nivas and his volunteers went to many villages and talked about the richness of our culture knowing that they became Christians not because of the message of the Bible but because of their financial circumstances, health-related issues, deceptive interpretation of Hindu scriptures and demeaning the multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses.

Welcomed 10 Christians back to Hindu Dharma

Lakshmi Nivas and his associates welcomed 10 Christians from Ranga Reddy  District back to Hindu Dharma. They come from several villages from Gadwal District in Telangana Street. They came from four villages – Ganganapally, Kaluru village, Gorlapadu village and Dharru Village. They used to go to MB Church and Lord Christ Church.  They talked about the tactics they used in converting people and how they induce people to convert to Christianity. Many converts expressed their own experience of being pressured into accepting Christianity and how they created fear in them.

Nivas mentioned what the Bible says: “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” (Matthew 10:34–39).

Jesus says one cannot love his parents more than HIM

As you can see that Jesus came here with a sword only to create enemies, and hatred toward others. He says we have to leave our parents, not to associate our family members and not even attend funerals. Even your father you cannot do last rights for your own father.

Laxmi Nivas talked about the difference between Christianity and Hinduism and the kind of respect we have toward our parents. Mother has been extolled as a god form in several places in the puranas and also God has been approached as a son.  She is Dhatri (One who bears the child), Janani (one who gives birth to the child), Amba (One who nourishes the limbs of the child) and Veerasu (One who makes him a hero), Shusroo (One who takes care of him). Jesus is his Only Father 

    In contrast, we read in the Bible that Jesus said if anybody who loves his parents cannot be true believers in Jesus. They have to give up their parents and their love toward them in order to have faith in Jesus. He even says that if a man does not hate his parents, wife, and children, he cannot be Jesus’ disciple.

The Christian missionaries come prepared to even engage in violence and threaten the Hindus to accept Christianity. Christianity practiced in India is an insult to humanity. It is the most violent, ridiculous, and bloody religion ever infected the earth. Even the Christians across the globe admit the missionary wickedness and vicious methods they use to convert the natives into Christianity. They cut your throat and or force the people to accept their customs and opinions. They make the converts insult Hindu Gods by stepping on them or spitting on them. A 52-page book comparing the verses in Bible and Bhagavad Gita is also distributed.

Christians have less tolerance toward other religions – especially Hinduism. For example, the Ten Commandments states that "You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence. You shall not make yourself a carved image nor any likeness of that which is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the water beneath the earth. You shall not prostrate yourself to them nor worship them, for I am the Lord, your God." Bible God is jealous, selfish, hateful, envious, intolerant, and abusive GOD. He is anything but tolerant, patient, as the Police office claimed.

Christians tend to demonize Hinduism and do not respect any other religions. Intolerant Christians say that all other religions are incomplete, and their followers go to hell and burn eternally for not accepting Jesus. Non-Christians will either go to hell or get condemned.  They will not be saved.

Jesus is the only Father, not your real father

Matthew 23:9-10

And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.  Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ.

Luke 14:25

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters— yes, even his own life— he cannot be My disciple.

Deuteronomy 33:9

Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant?

Laxmi Nivas and his Associates went to many houses, talked to them individually, distributed the flyers, and met Hindus who were converted to Christianity. Many of them are receptive to hear what we are trying to say and started reading about what is happening in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.

GHHF has prepared a 4-page document talking about the rights of Hindus to face the ruthless Christian missionaries and also showing some of the ex-Christian’s experience of being a Christian. A fifty-two page book comparing the verses in Bible and Bhagavad Gita is also distributed.
