Why Hindus cannot convert into other religion?

According Hinduism, Conversion is SIN.

Reason : Why Hindus cannot convert into other religion?

1.     We (Everybody) are the chosen one. Children of God.

It is God's choice and plan. Every single second is determined by the Almighty God. God made the choice when we were born. God chose us to be born in a particular family to the particular parents of the particular faith.  Since God made the choice, we have no rights to change it because it is God’s WILL. Whoever goes against God’s will is a sinner. That is the reason why there is no Hindu scriptures ever mentioned about conversion. Further, it mentioned we are the children of God.

2.      Hinduism believes in rebirth and karma.

Among 84000 lives, 7 lives are believed to be present as human beings. During the different birth, one can be born in to any religion as the God’s choice. God chose us to be born into a particular faith to fulfil the supposed duty given in that birth. If one changes religion, this means he/she is running away from the given obligations. Need to be reborn again to settle that duty.

3.       Reading Bhavisya Purana will clarify that, Kali purusha (satan), after long penance had received a boon from Lord Vishnu to increase its followers.  Vishnu created Adama and Havyavati to fulfill the boon. Though Vishnu had warned them about Kali purusha’s intention. But Kali purusha (God of Mlecha) deceived them. Since then the children of Adama and Havyawati increased. This was continued up to the demonic ghost Mahamada destinated to appear in the desert. Mahamada (Dharmadusikha/polluter/mlecha) will bring the adharmic religion (pissacha dharma) to fulfil the ending of Kaliyuga. Conversion is allowed in to the adharmic religion in order to help the kali purusha to increase its followers fast and to control kali yuga. But Vishnu had His own plans to precede the Kali purusha to an end later by the Kalki Avatar.

4.  Hindu Shastras have mentioned  conversions is sin.

a) Vyasa says in Mahabharata Santi Parva,
'..The rejection of one's own creed, the practice of other people's creed, .....is wrong .’

b) Bhagavad gita there is a verse, which conveys that Devotee should attain salvation in  a path which he is born ( as taught by parents) and not change paths. Those who change path will neither be happy nor get salvation.  ( Not applicable to tender young children)

c) Vedas ,it has been told to teach everyone in Arya Dharma/Sanatan Dharma/dharmic law. It is a way of life. Distracting from the way of life will be disobeying Vedas.

5. Our sages had opposed conversions.

Adi Shankara had fought against conversion.  He debated with Buddhist monks to revert them back to Hinduism. Adi Shankara,  is one of the important enlightened soul saved Hinduism  from  Buddhism ,many of Hindus were converted during the time. In order to save Hinduism , he debated with them, the loser had to follow the winner's teaching orders.  I don't see this as conversion , it is a move to revert back to Hinduism.   If it was a conversion, then it must be some kind of forced conversion. The question of why Adi Shankara went in to such an approach,  The reason is to save Hinduism from extinction. I am sure, Enlighten soul such as Adi Shankara  realized that divine love is beyond religion but he stand up to revert back them.  At current situation, are we going to  let go the conversion without any  interference?,  Did we realized ,if we never take a firm action, it will lead to our Hindu religion into extinction ? Even Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabu,Tirumular and many other sages have against conversion out. 




   Converts must answer God these questions during judgement day. God will ask.

a) Can you change your parents which 'I' CHOSE for you? It is my WILL.
b) Why you changed the PATH  I chose for? Don't you realize that every second is determined by ME.   Every religion/faith is from Me alone as I am the great planner.
c) Don't you realize, You had violated My PLAN?

For your information, judgement day according Hinduism will take place during death. When the soul leaves body, the soul will undergo trial immediately. Not as in other religion.

Many people had converted. Reasons for conversions were basically not of the realisation on the religion. It is because either lust ( fall in love, get caught wet…),desire ( post, title, power..),anger ( angry on some body ..),ignorance ( no knowledge about birth  religion),survival  (hunger, poverty, sickness..) and by forced ( war, to be killed..) etc. 

If you are a convert, please revert back to your religion of birth!

Conversion is Sin

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.

 Conversion is not the real issue for Hindus as a whole. It is a pure personal right of the person.  The person who converts into different faith is solely responsible for his act. By converting into different religion, he is actually running away from his duty (karma) chosen by God Himself. The person has to pay for that. I believe that he has to be born again to full fill his duty. Anyway, the deal is between God and the person himself.  We, the Hindus got no objection on conversion, because during ‘judgement’ the person has to answer not us. My advice is to remain as who you are (your birth faith), listen to your heart, pray the God chosen for you and follow what God says. Remember God is one.
