Parallelly, as a need of the hour and as a rescue measure, AVS has been working relentlessly to fight religious conversions and radicalization, that upset the peace of the family, society, culture, Dharma, and Nation itself, and bringing back people to Sanatana Dharma. In the past 26+ years of our functioning, we have been able to rescue and revert more than 8500 people, through ideological – spiritual – psychological counselling, from Kerala, India, and abroad, to the path of Sanatana Dharma and instilling the message of Sanatana Dharma in tens of thousands of others. The movie ‘The Kerala Story’ which released on 5th May 2023 that depicts the reality of the brainwashing system prevalent in society, Kerala in particular, portrays the exact same situations that many went through and what they would have ended up as had they not been brought to Aarsha Vidya Samajam. The case studies for the movie were provided by Aarsha Vidya Samajam.
