In Hinduism, conversion does not exist because every child is belongs to the Almighty God. Everyone is in His list. According Sanathana Dharma, conversion is SIN.
If a person converts into other religion, it is a sin. No matter what other 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; the 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 the God’s consent, every single thing is bounded by His will. I believe that all the faiths on earth accept this truth.
If you belief 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 the 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 admits this truth. They said everything is by the 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 suppose 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 deep, more related question need to be raised. Most important question is who choose our parents when we born into this world? It is supposed to be the God’s will alone to make such choice that a person has to be born into a particular faith. I realized that, I did n’t choose to be born as a Hindu. I was chosen to be born as Hindu by the 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 every one, every soul born on earth by His will. I am the chosen one. If this offence you, please forgive me, but the truth is all of us are chosen one. We are the same human race. Now, as human, ask yourself the above questions but I believe all of us are the chosen one. The God chooses us to be born in a particular faith which suits us. We are the God’s child, don’t doubt on this.
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 who ever 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? The Hindus believe that God is one. All the human race came or is coming from the same God. Every single thing happens because of the God. It is His will. Human beings cannot change His will. Whoever goes against His will, is a sinner. By changing ones 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 sin according many religions including Hinduism. Those converts need to answer God these questions during his/her day appears! First question is 'Why you deviated from My ORIGINAL PLAN?,Don't you realise that I am the greatest planner'. Second question is ' Why you changed the faith I chose for you in your birth? Don't you realised that I did the choice of your parents and faith during your birth according the past account of yours. It is My WILL'.Third question is ' Can you CHANGE your parents?'
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 globe.
