Christians propagate Christianity by luring non-Christians and Muslims convert non-Muslims on the strength of sword; but noble values of life taught by supreme Hindu Dharma attract others towards it  !

Ghana – In an African country, Ghana, Hindu Dharma is spreading very rapidly. Especially, though people are not being converted,  large population is drawn towards Hinduttva. This opinion was expressed by Shri. Quesi Anamoh, Natioanal President of African Hindu Temples.  A camp was first held in the year 1976 for explaining  importance of Hindu Dharma. In that very first camp, only 24 persons had participated. However, the number of persons abiding by code of conduct stipulated by Hindu Dharma has now gone up to 2000- 3000. No separate efforts were needed for propagation of Hindu Dharma. The people in the country are influenced by Hindu family system, and therefore, they are turning towards Hindu Dharma, according to Shri. Quest. (On one hand, when Africans are comprehending the value of Hindu family system; on the other hand, Hindus, who  have gone astray from Dharma, are  trying to destroy family system by blindly  imitating  westerners. – Editor, Daily 'Sanatan Prabhat')

In an article published in the periodical 'Returning To Our Spiritual Roots', analysis about  spread of Hindu Dharma in Ghana has been published. Seventy percent of the population of Ghana is Christian; followed with population of Muslims . In the 19th and 20th century, Hindu Dharma was propagated on a very large scale in western countries. Its repercussionss were also felt in Africa. During the same period, ISKCON, Brahmakumari, Satya Sai Baba  propagated Hindu Dharma in Africa. There are Hindus of Indian origin in Africa. Following them, the nativeAfricansalso started abiding by Hindu Dharma. African Swamis returned to Africa after studying Hindu Dharma In Rishikesh, Bharat and they are leading Hindu Ashrams.
