Proselytizing (conversion) is not admitted by Sri Sri Thakur. This aspect of Sri Sri Thakur’s view is worth elucidating, in the backdrop of huge disturbances currently erupting in different parts of the world on this issue. This view of Sri Sri Thakur that there will not be a proselyte (convert) in his disciples is a radical departure from the practices observed in other established religions.In Sri Sri Thakur’s view, one believer will accept Sri Sri Thakur as Guru and follow Sri Sri Thakur’s principles. But that is not a reason for him to forsake his ‘religion’, whichever he or she is born into. That means, a Muslim by birth can accept Sri Sri Thakur and practice his principles, still he / she will remain a Muslim. Similarly, a Christian can follow Sri Sri Thakur’s principles and yet he / she will remain a Christian.
