what is wrong with a Man calling people to trust in GOD? He didint swindle public money nor he claimed to hold magical powers and cheated the guilibe masses as many of our GODMAN do in India.DR.Dinakaran was true to his faith and to me, the situation of Dalits are much much better after they embraced christianity. I dont care whether Jesus gives them money or employment,the Church gives them and I support it and I have seen from my own eyes the social upliftment of many poor Dalits Atleast for that alone I am saddened by DR.Dinakaran's death

social upliftment, per se, is not at all bad. But when social upliftment is promised only on conversion to a particular faith is totally ungodliness.

if you ask pig what is tasty things, he/she will always say "shit". Same case is with you.
why to blame evangelists? The Hinduim & hindus are to blame for conversion. Is hinduism and Hindus are so delicate that they give up their religeon and get converted to other religeon? Or do they really accept that Christianity can only save them? Whats the reason for many hindus leaving their thousands year old religeon and embracing Christianity which is just 2000 yrs old? for the matter of debate say its due to force or fraud then why do they leave their religeon first of all? Why do not they complain in a court of law if its forceful? how many cases are there pending in the court of law against evenagelists all over India if conversion are carried out forcefully ? If conversion are by fraud or allurement then how come people stick to christinailty even after runnign out of money or emplyoment or calamity etc?

If you have not even half a loaf of bread to feed yourself or your family, you will understand the misery of hunger, which you will try to alleviate by whatever means. If someone extends you two loaves of bread then on condition of your accepting Jesus as your only God, you will also succumb to that. Do not try to be a show-off boy. Conversion is declared to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, are you aware of it?

these ppl who get converted solely do it for money. y shd they go and complain in court, if these missionaries can give them enough money in the name of GOD. Will any politician go and complain in court that he got bribe. These ppl are the true traitors, and no good than a politician. try to convert a knowledgable person from hinduism to any other religion. Then you can boast urself saying "ppl who followed hinduism for 1000s of years have left it". What u r doing is mere bribing for you to live happily

Naradamuni..it is not forced conversion,but cheat conversion..religion is one which needs to be accepted whole-heartedly.christian missionories throw money to poor people.. can these evangelists convert any educated,rich people?. answer this, then you can talk. ppl who got converted doens't get converted back to hinduism, becos theres no hindu missionary to cheat them by showing money..people who have tru knowledge about religion will never convert whatever is given to them..this is called FORCED CONVERSION

Yes, Naradmuni is cent percent correct. If hindiusm is declining, it is the hindus who are responsible for it. Look at Kerala Hindus i.e. the Nair fellow. They think they are the authority on hinduisam. They did not allow Dr K J Jesudas to enter the famous GURUVAYOOR temple for worshipping the lord because he is a Christain.What these so called Nairs think of themselves. They are lviing in a fools paradise. They think they are a higher caste. What they mean by that. In Kerala, the NAIR community always plays dirty tricks when any person from other religion. They do not treat the other people from the so called "low-castes" as humnan beings. Yes, I am born to a Nair family but I am not a stupd conservative fellow like many of my nair relatives. Nairs have done more wrong things than the Brahmins.

Each faith has its own peculiarities. Hindu temples admit only those who are Hindus, not to people of other faiths. So also, Parsees do not allow non-parsees to enter their Fire Temple. Why is it that no one objects to the Parsee practice, but only attacks Hindus? In Gurudwara you are not allowed entry if you do not cover your head; can any one dare go there bareheaded? So is the practice inside some Muslim Dargahs and mosques. Why are not people objecting to this practice? Why do they attack only HINDUs? They seem to be having some psycho problem about Hindus.

conversion is only in poorer society and in places where people still living in poor state. missionaries becouse of money power,they promise jobs,pay money for attendence to churches,render some odd works.ofcourse they invested money on schools,colleges,hospitals,old age homes only to attract people first and later convert finally with promises.in short people are fooled over a period of time.it is like frogs getting in to the pot of white coloured phynoil thinking it is a milk.

you are wrong.he can not go to hell now but has to wait for"rapture" period when second coming takes place with lord appearing in sky.first people to go are believers and worshippers of lord.sinners will be left in earth and given a chance for seven years which they call as "tribulation''period when if still not bapitised they will be sent to an intermediate place called ''puragatory ''where his soul is further refined and purified before despatched to heaven so dinakaran has to pass through many many years before anything happens to his body and soul. since in xtian theory,souls are not immortal like hinduism,his soul and body is one and same. so xtians preserve their dead bodies in earth. xtianity believe in instant birth/death.may his soul/body rest in earth till anything happens.

He has presided over several thousand 'miracle healing' meetings wherein countless 'sufferers' have had their illness or afflictions, ranging from common cold to blindness, 'cured' through prayers.
But when it came to healing his own troublesome knee, D G S Dinakaran, the well-known evangelist in question, seems to have reposed faith with a team of doctors at a local hospital rather than hobble around and wait for divine help.
According to sources, Dinakaran, the most visible of gospelers with a slew of radio and TV shows to his credit, had been suffering from a chronic knee problem. The man, who exhorts the public to attend his healing and prayer meetings to get cured of their ailments, however has gone to a popular private hospital in Adayar to get his knee repaired.
If you agree or not agree he was a weapon in the hands of God Almighty.He spread the Gospel to all irrespective of caste/creed/religion.People rushed into his meetings and many were blessed. If you are critic then you may have your views; but truth is truth. May God consloes his breaved family
