| [True copy of the letter published in the A.B. Patrika on 7/7/53 at Allahabad under the heading "Hindu Missionaries"]
| | The Registrar of Joint Stock Companies<br> |
| | Uttar Pradesh—Lucknow.<br> |
|
| |
|
| Sir—With reference to the letter of Sri Satish Asthana published in your columns of the 2nd instant, I have the honour to inform all concerned through your esteemed paper, that an association for missionary activities under the name and style "The League of Devotees" has already been established recently with the same aims and objects as suggested by Sri Asthana and Sri Sitaram.
| | All Glory to Sri Guru and Gauranga. |
|
| |
|
| The registered office of the above League is situated at the big spacious building "Bharati Bhawan" at Sipri Road, Jhansi. Gentlemen interested in such cultural activities may ask from the Founder Secretary, the prospectus of the mission (in Hindi or in English) with details of the institution.
| | Dear Sir, |
|
| |
|
| The matter is so important that it cannot be (now) set aside to be managed by the Sadhus and Sannyasins only but it must be taken care of by all responsible men.
| | With reference to my interview with your honour on the 3rd instant, regarding registration of the Memorandum of Association and Rules and Regulations of the League of Devotees (alias Sarbabhouma Bhagavata Samaj), I beg to inform you that I have deposited the fee RS 50/- (Rupees Fifty only) in the Imperial Bank of India Ltd, Lucknow and beg to hand you the following as advised by you. |
|
| |
|
| The word "Hindu" is somewhat foreign according to India's spiritual or cultural conception. The exact word used for this purpose is "Sanatanam" or the eternal. Sri "Bhagavad-gita" gives us the message that "Sanatana" religion is meant not only for the "Hindus," the Indians or all the humanity at large but also for all living beings on earth. | | (1) The Memorandum of Association clearly signed by the present members of the League of Devotees. |
|
| |
|
| It is wrong to interpret that Vedic religion (commonly known as "Hinduism") is not proselytistic. <span class="highlight_terms">The proselytizing method of</span> "Bhagavad-gita" <span class="highlight_terms">is to turn the face of all mundaners towards the transcendental service of the Absolute Personality of Godhead</span> "Sri Krishna' which process can only save them (the mundaners) from all calamities past present and future.
| | (2) The Rules and Regulations duly signed by the present members of the League of Devotees. |
|
| |
|
| The present Godless civilization has to be remoulded into Godly one and for this purpose all missionaries (Hindu or non-Hindu) who have regard for scientific proselytizing method may join this "League of Devotees"
| | (3) Deposit Challan No 81D/4 3/3 for Rs 50/- |
