Amazing! Not a word is said about his conversion to Christianity, which played such an important place in his life and philosophical reflection. --Zerged (talk) 06:36, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There is no ‘Return to Hinduism’ in the life of B.U. for the simple reason that he never left the Hindu fold. The swami was eminently a ‘God-seeker’ who all through his life declared himself a Hindu-Christian (or Hindu-Catholic). If he accepted to undergo prayaschittya, this was in view of being readmitted into the Hindu Samaj, a human institution. The baptism he had received many years earlier must be seen in the same perspective. There was no way he could be recognized as a Christian without, through baptism, being received into the Christian Samaj (the Church). With both Hinduism and Christianity he remained utterly free, spiritually free. This also explains a certain restlessness in his life: starting a newspaper and abandoning it for another. Starting a school (Shantiniketan) and leaving it for the opening of a math (Jabalpur), also soon left to be cared by others. Always seeking… Deeper, more and further. The article should somehow reflect this aspect of his life and not try to ‘categorize’ Brahmabandhav Upadhyay into an exclusive ‘either-or’, a ‘this or that’.
