Proselytisation resurfaces at Tirumala

The Hindu : States / Andhra Pradesh : Proselytisation resurfaces at Tirumala
Three lower rank TTD staff held for allegedly possessing Christian propaganda material

After lying low for some time, the problem of proselytisation has reared up its ugly head once again at Tirumala, the abode of Lord Venkateswara. The issue which rocked the TTD about six years ago, has erupted again as evidenced by the fact that in a raid conducted by the TTD's Vigilance and Security personnel on three houses in the TTD staff quarters at Tirumala late on Monday night following a tip-off, bundles of religious publications, wall-posters and such other propaganda material belonging to Christian missionaries were reportedly recovered.

The Vigilance sleuths raided the houses of Eswaraiah, Krishnamma and Yasodamma — all working as 'sweepers' in the TTD's Health Department — acting on a tip-off alleging that they were engaged in 'missionary activities' and religious propagation in their quarters at Tirumala.

The trio was immediately taken into custody for interrogation in view of a blanket ban imposed by the government on any kind of religious activities other than Hindu religion at Tirumala and on propagation of other religion in and around the hill temple of Lord Venkateswara and also in the areas under its jurisdiction both on and off the Tirumala hills. Meanwhile, the Vigilance wing reported the matter to the higher-ups in the TTD who are said to be contemplating shifting all the three staffers to Tirupati with immediate effect, pending further inquiry.

TTD slammed

Meanwhile, a BJP team led by its State official spokesperson, G. Bhanuprakash Reddy at a press meet here expressed its shock over the controversial 'missionary activities' flaring up again at Tirumala, hurting the psyche of thousands of devotees that throng Tirumala daily from all over India.

The BJP leaders slammed the TTD for its laxity on such a sensitive issue, especially at Tirumala, the abode of Lord and urged its top-brass to go all out to end the 'menace' once and for all.

Aren't all the TTD staff Hindus, that too devout ones?

If so, how were they with this material?

Interesting, if not mysterious!

Select India and then Brahmin

* Brahmins are a key community in India who uphold Hinduism. Please pray that the light of the gospel breaks through the Satanic veil that blinds this community.
* Pray that the true God will reveal Himself to this community and use Brahmins to preach and teach about Jesus Christ.

First let them discover who was the real father of Jesus, how can they teach us the truth, when they do not know the truth about the "Son of God".

Nothing new, however Evangelists have started flexing their muscles in the form of Maoists and other terror organization to use not just to proselytize through coercion but through threats and violence -- situation has been reduced to this day that even 2% population can threaten 80% majority and treacherous secular dimwits celebrate secularism!

 

[A chauhan]

Hindus are idiot and impotent enough that's why Christians and Muslim minorities with the help of LWE attack them. LWE strongly defends these minorities but seal their lips when it comes to save Hindus.

 

[ani82v]

Are there any Hindus active in converting non-Hindus?

Not the Iskon or the reconversion campaigns by RSS but genuine conversions in India.

There must be some Hindus who believe that their way of worship and ideas are better than anybody elses and find it very important that the message is spread.

Let the game begin.

With this poor monsoon, not much will be there to harvest.

At least some people are finding good stuff still to harvest!

Not within the range of one's knowledge is not a sin but ignoring it.

Even in one ved (not sure about which one) prophetic about Jesus may be you heard of Prajapathy who will die like Jesus and will be Resurrected.
