Swarupanandendra Swami, the pontiff of Sarada Peetham, has condemned the conversions taking place at the bathing ghats of Godavari river in the Rajamahendravaram, previously known as Rajahmundry.
The seer was speaking to reporters at Gayatri Sri Chakra Peetam after inspecting the ghats, and lamented that religious conversions are taking place at the ghats near Markandeya Swamy temple and Kumari Talkies, as reported by The Hans.
He lamented that it was a pity to note that the concerned officials remained silent despite a Government Order being implemented banning religious conversions and propaganda by other religions. He stated that some people were creating nuisance at a holy place where thousands of devotees come and that people should take it upon themselves to block propaganda by other religions at the ghats.
He reiterated that Sarada Peetham extends its support to organisations and individuals who are fighting against religious propaganda conversions. He added that its the duty of every Hindu to protect Hindu Dharma, traditions and culture.
