Swami Kriyananda (J Donald Walters)
Symbolism, for two reasons, plays a greater role in the religion and art of India than in those of other nations. For one thing, India's is the oldest continuous civilization in the world. Its traditions extend back long before recorded history. For another, the Indian mind, having established itself firmly in the belief in a transcendental reality, is completely comfortable with an exuberance in its expression of images and allegories that comes from knowing and accepting that everything is illusory anyway.
Global Hindu Heritage Foundation (GHHF) in association with Sri Saidatta Manasa Peetham has been planning to organize this Ghar Waapasi in the Vishakhapatnam area. Srisai Datta Manasa Swami and his disciples went to many villages and talked about the richness of our culture knowing that they became Christians not because of the message of Bible but because of their financial circumstances, health-related issues, deceptive interpretation of Hindu scriptures and demeaning the multiplicity of Gods and Goddesses. Diksha can be given on a one-to-one basis or in a group depending on the ceremony.
Inviting Groups of People in Each Village
Sri Sai Mansa Swami and his associates visiting each village in Agency area near Visakhapatnam. The went to several villages in G Madugula Mandalam – Urumu, Lavvupalli, Girgoyi Palem, Kadagadda gramam,  Diga Maddulabanda apalem, Kotha veedi Graman, and others. They go to each house in these villages and invite them to attend a meeting and talk about the differences between Dharma and Religion. 
They were talking about Abrahamic religion, its erratic, dogmatic and immoral character. As Seam Broderick mentioned that they also talked about the lies and the deceptions they use to convert people. In their attempts to convert Hindus to their dogma, Christian missionaries in India will use: lies, scare tactics, threats of poverty and starvation, ridicule of Hinduism, demands, ultimatums, cultural and religious appropriation, promises of immediate riches and an eventual utopia after death, a denial of reason and a vilification of any other culture but their own. They will do almost anything to “expand the kingdom. ”This is why I say that Christianity is not just a religion. It is also a sort of imperialistic political ideology with an agenda.
Importance of Panchabhutas is explained to the villagers and the nature they live can help them live in peace and harmony. They are able to live in peace because of the natural surroundings in the agency with no pollution, no exploitation of natural resources  and no water contamination. Abrahamic religions see the panchabhutas to be exploited while Hindu Dharma emphasized the need for respect and preservation of natural habitats. 
Sunday Schools - Para and  Apara Knowledge
               Talking about the differences between Hinduism and Christianity he explained the meaning and essence of Para Vidya and Apara Vidya. Apara Vidya is for us to lean to make a living. Para Vidya is for spiritual development. They teach us to develop different samskaras and modes of thinking. That is the reason Hindus do not try to convert people by deceptive means.  The Upanishads reiterate that “the Self is not known through the study of scriptures, nor through subtlety of intellect nor through much learning. The Self is revealed to one who longs to know the Self.” Hinduism teaches us to see God in everything and our work should be to envision divinity among everything. We should not look at somebody to receive and convert them to another religion.
Sri Sai Datta Mansa Swamy has been visiting this village for more than three months and started talking to you and seeking their help to help the needy. Then he started talking about the difference between Hinduism and Christianity. He emphasized the importance of the scientific nature of our Hindu customs and how our families maintain unity and look at the welfare of all the people irrespective of their religion. He gave several examples of hatred that are found in the Bible and compared with Hindu scriptures which emphasize love, compassion, and peace.
