Through the shuddhi shradha performed by Hindu organisations including Arya Samaj she can become legally Hindu and as such till date there is no Indian Legislative and or Hon'ble Supreme Court legal procedure and The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in 1966 formalized a judicial definition of Hindu beliefs to legally distinguish Hindu denominations from other religions in India. This seven-point list was affirmed by the Court in 1996 in judging cases regarding religious identity

 

 

The shuddhi shradha followed by vratyastoma certificate issued for legality of a Hindu are performed by following Organisations;

 

 

1. The Masurashrama in Mumbai.

 

2. The Ramakrishna Mission

 

3. Madurai Aadheenam and Kundrakuddi Aadheenam Ashramas  

 

4. VHP - Vishwa Hindu Parishad

 

5. Any of the centeres of Arya Samaj

 

 


 

Above is a vratyastoma certificate that can be photocopied (enlarged) to document the shuddhi ceremony held at any of the above place as legal document. This sacrament marks the formal reentrance into a particular sect of Hinduism through the acceptance of established members and the blessings of Gods and devas invoked through rites performed by an authorized priest.
