Secret societies impact on religion

In the book, “The Forbidden Knowledge of Secret Society”, it is written: “There are tales of secret societies through history. According to popular belief, it is because those meetings in secret were men of “renown” or “standing” and were plotting to change civilisation.

“Almost in every instance these secret societies are playing a religious role–contacting God or the gods in ways that the state religion cannot or will not … It is a stark fact that religious beliefs are excellent ways of drawing in members.

“As with most religions, the members of secret societies are chosen ones, members of the few, without knowing the real meaning of the phrase, it is easier to pass through the eye of a needle than to enter the kingdom of God.

“In secret societies, the new recruits are told to leave the world behind, including family and friends, who are called distractions or are of the world of the devil. The initiates are then given as a replacement to the new family of the church or society.

“Christianity had secret signs, secret handshakes, special myths, and rituals, just as any secret organisation. Christianity ruled the majority of the globe and was then fighting against other underground streams, which retained the mysteries of ancient myth.”

The Illuminati are seen by many as a hidden league of gentlemen and are believed to be at the heart of Christian American power. The Christian community believes that global terrorism is funded and carried out by worldwide networks of secret organisations.

For instance, when it was discovered that there were ancient crucified gods that predated Christ, they were hushed, destroyed, and expunged from all records.

In India, the most powerful and numerically the largest Hindu religious organisation is the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, which when translated means National Volunteer Corps. This organisation has often been referred to as the RSS in India, a Hindu secret society. The RSS was founded in 1925 and has a membership of over one million volunteers who are called ‘prachaarak’.

Over the years, however, the Western and Christian media have attempted to demonise this religious social organisation by dubbing it a secret society. Rattan Sharda has written a book titled, “Secrets of RSS, Demystifying the Sangh”, in which he explains the role and open activities of this organisation in protecting Hinduism in India and bringing social relief to poor families across the subcontinent.

In far-flung Indian states, the population is not only far from the centre, New Delhi, but they live simple lives with basic needs. Christian missionaries have found fertile ground to make converts of these poor peasants. The RSS has moved in large numbers and is working with local tribespeople to bring social relief and understanding of the Hindu tenets, which is their legacy.

More than that, the RSS has mounted a “reconversion” campaign in which tens of thousands of Christian converts have reverted to Hinduism. But because of this religious fightback, the RSS has been dubbed a secret and violent organisation by Christian missionaries. Rattan Sharda in his book recalls a particular incident and writes: “In Tamil Nadu, swayamsevaks (volunteers) celebrated Raksha Bandhan festival in a Christian school. The principal was herself, present for it and said emotionally, ‘I too am a Hindu—a Christian Hindu.’ Christian scholars have been called to be part of some RSS festivals and programmes in Kerala.”

Over the centuries, insidious attempts were made to convert the Hindus. In Trinidad itself, the Hindu had to pay the price of conversion for education before the Sanatan Dharma Maha Sabha was permitted to establish its own schools in 1952.

In his book titled, “Origins and Development of Racial Ideology in Trinidad,” Dennison Moore writes: “The most vigorous attacks on Hinduism were mounted by the missionaries of the Presbyterian Church of Canada, whose schools were heavily supported by the Government.”

One of the most revered modern saints of Hinduism, Swami Dyananand Saraswati has preached that “conversion is an attack of violence against the spirit and stresses that it is the worst way of disturbing a person’s peace of soul when he or she is often forced to change behaviour, customs, and beliefs that he or she has carried since birth and collective memory which goes by century.”
