In Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, Mehnaz Khan, along with his two children, Farhan and Faizan, left the Muslim faith and embraced Sanatan. At the city’s Gayatri temple, the woman and her two sons were bathed with milk, curd, honey, Ganga water, cow urine and cow dung along with Vedic chants. After the chanting of mantras that lasted for about an hour and a half, everyone was given a new name.
After returning to Sanatan from Islam, Mehnaz Khan now became ‘Meenakshi’. One of his sons Farhan will now be known as ‘Love’ and Faizan as ‘Kush’. Both have adopted Sanatan with their mother. Earlier, 44 people had renounced Islam and returned to Sanatan Dharma in Mandsaur. Chaitanya Sanatani played a major role in bringing these 44 people back to Sanatan.
Married 14 years ago
The woman, who became Meenakshi from Mehnaz, said that her husband Irfan is a driver. Her father got her married 14 years ago to Irfan, son of Ansar, a resident of Dhamnar. The first two years went well. After this, husband Irfan, father-in-law Ansar and mother-in-law started beating her together. He started beating him on small things. Her children were also beaten and abused.
Tired of being beaten and taunted by in-laws.
The woman said that she also told her father about it, but the father did not interfere much as it was a family matter. Whenever her husband and in-laws quarreled, she would tell her father. On that father will say that now we have to adjust in one family. She was tired of the daily beatings and taunts.
The woman said – I believe in Hinduism
The woman said that she believed in Hinduism. Women are not respected in Islam, whereas in Sanatan women have been given the status of goddesses. When he saw Chaitanya Sanatani’s video on his mobile, he contacted him. After this, he applied for legal process and renounced Ismail at the Gayatri temple and converted to Hinduism.
