Do you want to convert your religion from Hindu?

Please ask the following 5 questions before making the decision.

1. There are 100s of temples where the lunch is being provided in Tamil Nadu. "The best donation is food donation. One who gives food gives life" "Annam Brahmam" is the main statement behind this. Even the private temples who have less money somehow ensure that the lunch is provided to the visitors. Please count the number of churches in Tamil Nadu where the food is being provided?

2. Jesus was born nearly 2000 years ago, if he is the only one to save us then who was the God before him? God was not there then?

3. If you believe in the God's plan. Then were you able to choose your parents? If no, then if the Divine wanted you to live as a Christian, he would have made you to be born in that country and family. Why were you made to be born in India? 

4. The nature was related to Gods by Hinduism and because of the faith and fear people were protecting the nature in India. For example Neem with Goddess, Peepal tree with Ganesha etc. Also all the flower plants were protected in the name of God. But by this conversion of religion, all these methods are being considered foolishness and destroying nature is very easy to do. Are we doing the right thing?

5. They call all the Gods as shaithaan or saathaan. There could be a reason

behind this. Moghals attacked India 1500 to 2000 years back and they destroyed temples and  killed the temple priests continuously for many generations. So the methods of temple worship was completely forgotten by them. They allowed the females to touch the main statue of the temple wherein the Divine could not stay in the temples. The temples were occupied by Brahma Rakshas. But this is not true with all the temples, but in some temples. Just because of this small thing, do you want to miss the ocean of knowledge of India?

One of them is yoga. Breath does not have any religion, caste or creed. Then what's wrong in practicing the breathing techniques?

Eternal and External with confusion

ETERNAL meaning is no beginning and no ending. This is the definition of God.

X - is the unknown

When it is interrupted by the X outside, it becomes EXTERNAL.

i.e. When the mind is inside, connected with the infinity, that is eternal. But when it roams outside, it becomes external.

Confusion - Fusion of the small mind with the supreme consciousness.
