Saints of the Swaminarayan sect were also present in this function. So far more than 9000 families have been converted back to Hinduism.

Religious conversion is taking place on a large scale in the state, sources said. On the other hand, in Kavdej village of Vansda in Navsari, around 170 families have left Christianity and returned to Hinduism. There is a lot of conversion activity in tribal areas. At that time people are being awakened and brought back to the Hindu religion by the Agniveer Hindu organization in the tribal society.

A program of purification, Mahayagya, was organized by the Agniveer Hindu organization in the courtyard of the temple located in Vansda taluka, in which about 170 families of the district have left Christianity and returned to Hinduism. In the past, they converted due to a change of faith. If the children of the family are sick then they will be cured in Christianity. With such faith, many families left Hinduism and adopted Christianity.

However, after getting information about their original religion and several events including bhajan kirtan organized by the Agniveer Hindu organization in their area, these families left Christianity and returned home to Hinduism.

Talking to Monikaben, he said that we had adopted Christianity since childhood. But due to falling ill again and again, we re-entered Hinduism. So we are very good. More than 170 families, including my family, have returned to Hinduism today.

Talking to Mahendra Rajpurohit of Agni Veer Hindu Sangh, he said that a few years ago Hindu tribal brothers who had converted to Christianity for some reason. That's why we used to go to such areas and do bhajan kirtan and worship mass weddings. So these people used to get influenced by us. Now 170 families have returned home to Hinduism today. Similarly, our campaign will continue in the coming days as well.
