CHENNAI, INDIA, December 31,2002: Evangelists D. G. S. Dinakaran and Paul Dinakaran sparked a controversy by sending a letter to Matchi Shiva Sokkalinga Raja Vadivu Thevar, an ardent Siva devotee and authority on Saivism, expressing their happiness over Raja Vadivu’s visit to “Prayer Tower,” the headquarters of the Jesus Calls Trust in Chennai, and requesting him to send his testimony, if any, and prayer requests. With the recipient of this letter, the question has been raised of under what provision of the anti-conversion law can the founders of Jesus Calls Trust be booked? The letter, which said that Raja Vadivu’s prayer request had landed in their hands and that they had prayed for him, has angered Mr. Vadivu, who has never gone to the Prayer Tower premises or sought the evangelists’ help in any way. Mr. Vadivu wanted to know from Chief Minister Jayalalithaa how he could proceed against the father-son duo of evangelists, for he sees in the letter an attempt to convert him to Christianity. He also said it damaged his reputation as an ardent Hindu.
