Former Shia Waqf Board President Wasim Rizvi, now known as Jitendra Narayan Tyagi after embracing Hinduism, has made a significant declaration during the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. He extended an invitation to members of the Muslim community to adopt Sanatan Dharma, offering financial assistance and business support to those willing to return to their ancestral faith.
Holy Dip and Call for Homecoming
On Tuesday, Jitendra Narayan Tyagi took a sacred dip at the Sangam in Prayagraj, experiencing what he described as immense spiritual bliss. From this revered land, he urged Muslims across the country to consider embracing Sanatan Dharma. He emphasized that his organization would actively support individuals and families making this transition.
Monthly Financial Support for Converts
Jitendra Narayan Tyagi announced a financial support scheme aimed at aiding Muslim families choosing to convert to Sanatan Dharma. He promised that every family making this shift would receive a monthly allowance of Rs 3,000 until they achieve financial stability within the Sanatan community. Additionally, those interested in setting up small businesses would receive assistance to establish their enterprises.
Encouragement to Overcome Extremist Ideologies
While making his appeal, Tyagi encouraged Muslims to free themselves from extremist ideologies and jihadist mindsets. He stressed that returning to Sanatan Dharma would provide them with a peaceful and inclusive environment. He assured them that Sanatan Dharma welcomes everyone with open arms, offering spiritual fulfillment and societal harmony.
Journey from Wasim Rizvi to Jitendra Narayan Tyagi
Three years ago, Wasim Rizvi renounced Islam and embraced Hinduism, adopting the name Jitendra Narayan Tyagi. His conversion was officiated by Mahamandaleshwar Yati Narsinghanand Giri of Juna Akhara, who conducted the purification and initiation rituals. Tyagi had then expressed that he chose Sanatan Dharma because it is the oldest and most inclusive religion, and after being expelled from Islam, he sought refuge in a faith that aligns with his beliefs.
Support for Business Ventures
To further ease the transition, Tyagi revealed that his organization would facilitate business opportunities for those converting to Sanatan Dharma. Individuals seeking financial independence would receive guidance and resources to start small businesses, ensuring their seamless integration into their new way of life.
Final Message to the Muslim Community
Jitendra Narayan Tyagi concluded his address by reiterating his invitation to Muslims to embrace Sanatan Dharma and experience a fulfilling life free from radical ideologies. He assured them that his organization stands ready to support every step of their journey towards spiritual and economic well-being.
