Vannakkam;

This is a beautiful story of how one humble sincere man started a movement in a faraway place. I had read his story before, but it was nice to see it again. Good to hear the congregation is growing, and for those searchers in Africa, if they get disillusioned with their tribal faith, have an option besides the overzealous Abrahamics. I really like the guy's name.

Namaste,

This really is a wonderful story! I've read in the past about how Christian missionaries have gone into Africa and destroyed the native cultures. But now a large number of Africans have found Sanatana Dharma. It also makes sense as a lot of Africans can see similarities in Hindu rituals and their old tribal religious rituals.
