Often it is asked ,
Can Hindus Covert to other Religions?
Can they return to Hinduism after that?
Can people from other Religions to Hinduism?
Hinduism is not an Institutionalized one, nor does it believe in numbers and conversions.
It does not have a set of Rules to become a Hindu, much less for conversions.
Hinduism as revealed in the Vedas are sets of Truths intuitively grasped by the ancient Rishis.
Those who follow them may call them as people belonging to Sanatana Dharma.
The word Hinduism was coined to denote people living near the River Indus.
This term was given by westerners and it not correct as Sanatana Dharma extended beyond Sindhu up tp anya umai and even abroad.
A Hindu, one can himself, if one follows the tenets of Vedas, Sankhya, Yoga, Vaiseshika, Mimamsa, Tantras.
Hence there is stricture against anyone who wants to cross over to other Religion.
Hinduism expresses some Truths.
Whether you follow it or not Hinduism is least bothered.
Medicines do not bother if you take them are not.
Hinduism is highly personal and Individualistic.
So there is no stricture against conversions or back to Hinduism.
Some organisations perform Punhavachana and Namakarana for those who want to become Hindus.
No mention is made of these practices in the Vedas or Smritis.
