I am a regular reader of the Daily Sanatan Prabhat for the past year and am extremely grateful to you for publishing the series of articles on the true nature of Christianity because at some point I too was an individual who was carried away by their preaching and had become an advocate of Christianity. However how I got out of their trap after reading your articles and because of the merits of my ancestors is what I shall narrate to you now.
I was brutally beaten up by a Christian convert because I did not know English. I was 10 years old and a student of Class VI. At the behest of some friends I began attending classes in English conducted by a school teacher who had converted to Christianity. (He was a Hindu by birth.) There was a vast difference in his style of teaching and that of others. Initially because I could not follow English he would beat me mercilessly because of which we, specially I feared him a lot. I can clearly remember how he had hit me on the hands and legs. At that time I would pray unto God thus, `O God please save me from this man.â Thereafter I gradually learned to speak English.
During the course of his teaching unknowingly we also learned wrong things which later were the reasons for keeping us bound in the network of Christianity. I shall elucidate them below.
A. Separate your mind from your intellect.
B. Behave in accordance with your mind.
C. Do not keep any sins in your mind.
D. Do not tolerate injustice.
E. Keep a watch on the enemy.
F. Have faith in God till He is pleased with you.
G. Follow the principle that `I will feast on jelebi (sweet) even at the cost of my lifeâ.
H. Do not mortgage your intellect to anyone.
I. Do not surrender your position to anyone.
We were also told the following things but since a reasonable explanation was not given till the end, we were in a state of confusion.
A. Evaluate the subtle.
B. Remain vigilant about events occurring in your surroundings.
C. Make sacrifices.
D. Remain in isolation.
E. Distribute the Bible to others. If someone shouts at you for that do not hesitate to lie and act out a scene.
F. Perceive the obstacles in your path.
The dreadful ill-effects of a shrewd Christian teacher
In this way gradually such ambiguous thoughts were instilled in our minds. You can imagine what will happen to children in whose mind such thoughts are put at a young age! With daily bombardment of such thoughts gradually I got transformed into a self-centered person and later began to get aggressive thoughts. With passage of time I began to live in solitude behaving as advised by the teacher. During this period I withdrew from my relatives completely. It was as if that teacher had hypnotized us completely. Unfortunately I began to preach the same concepts to my relatives/family and cut off from others. With my sweet talk I got people trapped in my preaching.
Though I grew up in a Hindu family one fine day a righteous soul from my company bluntly told me, âYou are behaving like one converted to Christianity.â It was at that moment my eyes opened. By the grace of God I was blessed with a copy of the Daily Sanatan Prabhat and promptly saved. Now I am trying to find answers as to why at the age of 14 I fell prey to this.
Mission of the 'Sanatan Prabhatâ is worthy of praise !
Hereafter with the grace of God I was blessed with the opportunity to visit the ashram of the Sanatan Sanstha at Jalgaon. The seekers there educated me on this issue further by giving me the series of articles on âthe true nature of Christianityâ from the Sanatan Prabhat. It was then that I developed hatred for the principles taught to me by that childhood teacher. I lost all respect for him. I thanked H.H. Athavale a great deal and prayed for a long life for Him. This mission that He has undertaken through the Sanatan Prabhat, of helping people like me who were getting enticed by such sinners and trapped in their web, is truly worthy of salutation.
