Christians propagate Christianity by luring non-Christians and Muslims convert non-Muslims on the strength of sword; but noble values of life taught by supreme Hindu Dharma attract others towards it !
Ghana – In an African country, Ghana, Hindu Dharma is spreading very rapidly. Especially, though people are not being converted, large population is drawn towards Hinduttva. This opinion was expressed by Shri. Quesi Anamoh, Natioanal President of African Hindu Temples. A camp was first held in the year 1976 for explaining importance of Hindu Dharma. In that very first camp, only 24 persons had participated. However, the number of persons abiding by code of conduct stipulated by Hindu Dharma has now gone up to 2000- 3000. No separate efforts were needed for propagation of Hindu Dharma. The people in the country are influenced by Hindu family system, and therefore, they are turning towards Hindu Dharma, according to Shri. Quest. (On one hand, when Africans are comprehending the value of Hindu family system; on the other hand, Hindus, who have gone astray from Dharma, are trying to destroy family system by blindly imitating westerners. – Editor, Daily 'Sanatan Prabhat')
