The New York Herald wrote of Swami Vivekananda in 1893 after listening to his speech in Chicago at Parliament of Religions conference:
"Undoubtedly the greatest figure in the Parliament of Religions. After hearing him, we feel how foolish it is to send missionaries to this learned nation."
Thomas Jefferson: "There is one notable thing about our Christianity: bad, bloody, merciless, money-grabbing and predatory as it is - in our country particularly, and in all other Christian countries in a somewhat modified degree... Ours is a terrible religion. The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilt...The gospel history of Jesus consists of fabrications, superstitions and fanaticism... I consider the book of Revelation, the ravings of a maniac.... Due to Christianity, millions of innocent men, women and children have been burnt alive as witches
As you will soon that the foolishness of missionaries is becoming rampant and show it with no shame, scruples and conscience. They want to instigate, provoke and incite the innocent Hindus by condemning the Hindu gods, insulting the worshippers and declaring our way of life as sinful. Knowing fully well, the Pada Yatra is trying to champion the cause of preserving Hindu Temples and Hindu culture, the Christians in these villages deliberately announcing in day light with loud speakers that they are inviting the Pada Yatra people to receive the blessings of Jesus God. Please read, may 2-3 times, what the former President of United States, Thomas Jefferson, has said about Christianity and digest slowly. It is too much to digest. But the truth is hard to swallow.
Encounter with Christians: VIDEO SUMMARY
The summary of the Dailymotion video is as follows:
It is announced on the loud speakers in Telugu language that "they (Christians) want to give auspicious news. If you all accept Jesus Prabhu or recognize the love of Jesus, you will have good future."
Sri Kamal Kumar Swami who was going through this village said to the Leader of the group that you should have the discipline and courtesy to recognize the value of other religions. You come to this country and criticize our gods and say that our gods are demons and sinful. You say that these gods should not be worshipped.
Kamal Kumar said that religion is not a marketable commodity. You do not advertize the gods alike a commercial commodity. God is not like a soap to be advertized. How can you market your god in the streets?
People in India intelligent and genius compared to many people in the world. We know more about Jesus and we know more about other religions also. By converting people into Christianity you are creating problems among people and also in the community. He pointedly asked the Leader of the group "why do you criticize our Gods?"
The leader of the group says the "God (meaning Jesus) has so much love for all the people."
Sri Kamal Kumar said; "How come you God would not love us?" The he continued "Do you agree that all the religions are same?"
The leader not able to answer to any of the questions, he said if you not want us to make announcements publicly, we don't want to do." Then they dispersed.

What you can do?
Please remember that India's civilization is the oldest in the world. It spread far and wide before the advent of Christianity and Islam. We believe in inclusion. We advocate tolerance and nonviolence. We invited all the religions with open hands only to be stabbed and terrorized. Other major religions believe in exclusion and think that if we do not believe in their god, we are doomed and go to hell. They want to plant a cross on the soil of India as Pope Paul announced publicly in 1999 and harvest the souls.
One may argue that we withstood the test of time while other civilizations vanished. We are Sanatana dharma meaning that we are eternal and would not perish. Take a minute and ponder. Our civilization spread all the way from Afghanistan to China at one time. Now we are not sure if we ever survive the onslaught of Christian missionaries with unlimited resources and Islamic sword and terrorism. We have to guard our religion. We have to protect and preserve traditions and customs. It can be done only if we awaken the Hindu conscience to the potential danger to the Hindu way of life by 4Ms - the missionaries, media, Marxists and Muslims – the most deadly combination of forces the human history has ever encountered.
Mahapada Yatra 2 is one of the answers to counter the aggressions of these 4Ms. Sri Kamal Kumar Swami is addressing these issues in the Mahapada Yatra 2 to make sure we understand the potential of deadly force and how to repel it.
Please support financially so that we can continue to challenge the aggressors and destroyers of civilizations. If we are united and strong, we can withstand the pressures.
Reconverting and Welcoming Back
We as Hindus have to go out and openly welcome those who are interested in coming back to Hinduism with open hearts and broad stretched hands. We know that many of them were converted by force, compulsion, fear, incentives, material gains, inducements, allurements and so on.
All the Hindus, government, Acharyas, Hindu religious organizations and media should look into the circumstances that made them leave their faith and cross over to another faith. By the concerted effort of all the Hindus, we can bring them BACK HOME. Our work is cut out. Are we ready to fulfill our responsibility to our religion?

The Glory of Hinduism – Can you help to restore it?
Jules Michelet, (1789-1874), French writer, the greatest historian of the romantic school said:
"At its starting point in India, the birthplace of races and religions, the womb of the world."
This is what Michelet said of the Ramayana:
"Whoever has done or willed too much let him drink from this deep cup a long draught of life and youth........Everything is narrow in the West - Greece is small and I stifle; Judea is dry and I pant. Let me look toward lofty Asia, and the profound East for a little while. There lies my great poem, as vast as the Indian ocean, blessed, gilded with the sun, the book of divine harmony wherein is no dissonance. A serene peace reigns there, and in the midst of conflict an infinite sweetness, a boundless fraternity, which spreads over all living things, an ocean (without bottom or bound) of love, of pity, of clemency."
