| I was born in a traditional 
					Hindu family-namely Brahmins, who are believed to be Aryans, 
					A very orthodox community, with their own faiths and 
					customs, Gods and Goddess, Principles. A community which 
					raised lots of intellects, businessmen, great politicians 
					and Guru's i.e. spiritual guru's. We have our own 
					traditional books, Vedas, Agamas, Brahmanas, and Upanishads. 
					I was brought up by my father and mother, my father a 
					businessman and my mother a home maker. My grand fathers and 
					grand mothers, their sisters and brothers and relatives. A 
					very happy surrounding, with my early days like a deer 
					running around the forest, with their parents, I have a 
					brother younger to me by 3 ½ years. As usual I too had 
					fallen into wrong habits like smoking, drinking, talking 
					rubbish things, never respect elders, but I did have the 
					fear of God. I used to pray to the almighty God saying 
 "papoohum papak 
					kanmoohum papathma papasampava
 thriviknum guruveah deva sarva 
					papa hari hare,
 manasa vasa rashthabyam dehinam 
					pahinam"
 
 I never realized that I am a sinner, even now people say, 
					"what is sin, where is sin, it is quite natural when you 
					find this you do it". I too felt strongly life is to live 
					and I should not waste my youth and be an opportunist, 
					survival of the fittest theories the world has taught me.
 
 I had a very strong feeling that God is real and he is one, 
					all humans are equal before God and there is nothing unclean 
					before him. When God is real he will sure treat everybody as 
					his children and will not reject anybody. I understood that 
					the almighty God is in the form of light that is what I 
					learnt when I was taught the brahma sutra i.e. brahmopadesam, 
					the Gayathri Mantra.
 
 What is the real essence of the sacred 'Gayathri Mantra'?
 
 In our tradition (brahmins) 'Gayathri Mantra' is sacred, it 
					is very important. There is a saying before 'kama' enters a 
					person 'Gayathri' should enter him. The Gayathri is taught 
					to a student by a teacher, it is called 'Brahmopadesam' 
					where 'upadesam' means advice, and Brahma means the Supreme 
					God head. The teacher and the student cover themselves with 
					a silk cloth and the mantra is whispered in his ears, that 
					nobody should listen. After this brahmopadesam the student 
					gets the authority to perform Vedic rituals.
 
 Gayathri = gayantham + thrayatha ithi gayathri
 
 That means 'to save him who meditates or prays / worships' 
					in other words, the Lord will save him if he meditates or 
					prays / worships.
 
 The Gayathri Manthra:
 
 "boorbuvas 
					suvaha tat savithur varenyam bargo
 devasya deemahi diyoyonaha 
					prachodayath"
 Word by Word:
					
 waha- who, naha - our, deeyaha - mind, prachodayath - 
					enlights our minds (or) to bring realisation in our minds, 
					tat - that, devasya - Lord in the the form of light (not sun 
					light), savithuhu - the one who created the universe, 
					varenyam - the most high, bargaha - figure or form, deemahi 
					- we meditate (or) pray.
 
 Meaning:
 
 The Supreme God head, who created the universe and all in it 
					is in the form of light, he is the most high, the one who 
					enlightens our mind that we would get spiritual realisation, 
					that Lord in whom I meditate and worship.
 
 I used to think, why am I not worshipping the Lord who is 
					the form of light. I had so many questions within me; I also 
					believed that God can come in the form of a man and save 
					mankind. Things started changing in my life when I joined 
					RSS in my place, in the sense not an active member but I was 
					with them, listening to them what they say. Of course, 
					indirectly the teachings are to persecute Christians and 
					Jesus Christ, I had so much hatred for this community, 
					because they are converting people, changing religions, I 
					hated this by all possible means.
 
 The Holy Bibles were distributed free in our schools, we 
					used to tear the papers of the bible and play while raining. 
					We used to sing songs commenting Jesus Christ. I had a zeal 
					for my own religion, my father and mother and everybody were 
					like that, against Jesus Christ and his teachings. My father 
					on the other hand struggled in his business, we were 
					affected financially, my father's friends cheated him, took 
					his money. My father's situation went serious day by day; 
					all the happiness in my / our life is lost.
 
 I stopped my studies and took up a job which paid me Rs.60 a 
					day, about 60 men and women worked with me. Nobody would 
					have liked to continue with such kind of a job, which paid 
					less, going door to door. It is called Marketing research. I 
					had found a group of people who would always be singing 
					happily and smiling, even though they had more troubles than 
					what I had. But, I was not supposed to sit with them, 
					because they were Christians and namely, Pentecost 
					Christians, who were considered to be very dangerous, who 
					would mesmerize people, my parents and the Hindu community 
					had told me.
 
 One night before Christmas celebration, I fell ill and my 
					body was burning with very high temperature, I could feel 
					the heat in my eyes. My father had advised me to sleep for 
					the night, saying the next morning we could go and see the 
					doctor as there were no round the clock doctors available. I 
					prayed to all Gods, my own Gods and the God of Christian 
					belief also, namely Mother Mary and Jesus Christ. The next 
					day I felt fine, and I guessed God is true, and he lives, 
					and I stopped smoking. When i had gone to the shop to buy a 
					cigarette, something stopped me from buying it. I believed, 
					it was Lord Venkateswara who healed from my illness (our own 
					traditional God).
 
 For a week I never smoked or did any thing, apart from 
					thinking about Gods identity, I started hating work. Then 
					one day I happened to go and sit with the Christian group, 
					and listened to what they would sing and talk. One sister by 
					name Ms. Delsi told me to find a bible and search for 
					myself, and ask God" who is true, He will answer you, there 
					is no need to believe me" she said. I took it as a challenge 
					and said let me ask God if He is there, let me go through 
					the bible, which had escaped from my hands (I used to tear 
					them). While traveling by train I decided to go home and 
					then read the Bible, what it said? I reached home and took 
					the Bible (New testament) for the first time and began to 
					read book of Mathews, starting from chapter 1. When I read 
					the verse which says "Emmanuel means God is with us". I 
					stopped and started to think deeply and attentively. I found 
					my heart was longing for the love of Jesus Christ.
 When my mother 
					saw me with the Bible, she scolded me, and threw the Bible. 
					That night I found it very difficult to sleep. I woke up 
					early the following day and, went up to the terrace of my 
					house with the Bible and started reading it. As I was 
					reading, my mother came upstairs searching for me and I 
					could see the anger in her face, my heart was very calm and 
					I did not fear even if she would have killed me I wouldn't 
					bother but I cant say from where I got that courage and 
					boldness. She grabbed the Bible from my hands and tore them 
					in front of my eyes; the papers of the bible flew by the 
					wind and fell on the ground. I wept as I could not bear this 
					and I went to the streets in search of the torn pieces of 
					Bible. Having found some of them, I collected them very 
					carefully and hid them in a secret place. I remembered the 
					past, how I used to tear the pages of the Bible, and now how 
					God made me to collect them with my own hands, Glory to God, 
					let his name be praised, He is above all and everything. 
					Amen. I grew in faith day by day, hearing more from the 
					Christian group, the God given fellowship group.
 I was filled with joy and happiness, my body mind and soul 
					became so light, the burden of sin which was in me, was 
					removed and I could find that within me. I felt that I am 
					close with God, through the son of God, Lord Jesus Christ. I 
					understood the basic truth, that is no rituals, no mantras, 
					no tantras, no money, no authority or power can take us 
					closer to the God almighty, but through the Lord Jesus 
					Christ and by his pure grace and love we can get closer to 
					him. I found God is so near to me than I ever thought or 
					imagined. But, things changed in my surrounding, my parents 
					marveled, a person who hated Jesus and his teachings, is now 
					following.
 
 My parents thought I was attacked by an evil spirit and they 
					invited a muslim man in our home. He chanted some mantras 
					and grace something to drink, I said thanks to the Lord and 
					I drank. I argued a lot and shouted at him saying that Lord 
					Jesus Christ is the true living God, who can deliver us. He 
					replied me and said, "you don't know about my powers I used 
					to close my eyes and read the Quran, you are nothing to me". 
					The next day early in the morning the Lord showed a Bible in 
					front of my eyes, and he asked me to read the passage from 1 
					Corinthians 6:7, where it says "Why do you not rather accept 
					wrong? Why do you not rather let yourselves be defrauded?" I 
					wondered the marvelous ways of the Lord Jesus Christ, and 
					how righteous He is, I am a sinner, when the Lord himself 
					suffered and gave himself to be defrauded why can't I? The 
					Lord Jesus Christ is really a prayer answering God, a living 
					Lord, He will sure deliver us from all trouble. He will 
					never lead me in unrighteous ways, or in sin, but he will 
					lead me in light and in perfection.
 
 Actually, the Lord spoke to me and said the things are yet 
					to come which I didn't know. The muslim requested my father 
					to bring me to his place where I can stay for 3 days with 
					him. My father took me to his place, a place where all witch 
					craft things are there, buried tombs etc. I prayed inside of 
					my heart asking the Lord to deliver me from all persecutions 
					and trouble. The Muslim man, who did miracles in the name of 
					mastan, bava. He used to bring unclean spirits out of man 
					and women, and prophesied about the past very accurately. He 
					did some miracles in front of my eyes. In front of me he 
					called a unclean spirit from a lady, the unclean spirit came 
					out of her, and she closed her eyes and started circling the 
					2 tombs in great speed and later on she was recovered the 
					unclean spirit left her. I argued with the Muslim man, 
					saying that Lord Jesus Christ is the true God, the lady who 
					was delivered from the unclean spirit also heard what I am 
					saying, finally she said looking at the Muslim man, "Bai, 
					what you say is wrong, this boy is right" I thank God for 
					this. In the meanwhile, the Christian community started 
					worrying about me, they prayed for me to the Lord, to 
					deliver from the hands of the evil one. The next day, it was 
					around 7.30 p.m. I and the Muslim man, sat near the 2 tombs 
					about 15 to 20 meters away from the tomb. The man started 
					shouting "fire, fire," put off the lights", "put off the 
					lights". I didn't know what was going on, but, he asked his 
					last son to go and switch off electricity supply. I asked 
					him "what happened?" I went close to the tomb and found 
					nothing, he never came closer, I asked him what he saw? He 
					told me he saw a fire coming and resting on the tombs? 
					Praise the Lord, hallelujah, I understood it was my Lords 
					doing which was a surprise for others, the man told my 
					father saying that nothing could be done from his side. It 
					is from that very day the kingdom of that Muslim man 
					darkened, I heard from people saying that he could not do 
					anything like before.
 After me and 
					my father coming back home, I firstly went to my people, who 
					prayed for me, to testify for the Lord and His doing. As I 
					was telling them they asked me what time this did take place 
					and I told them it was 7.30 p.m. They told me that it was 
					that same hour when they were praying for me, all of them, 
					and an elderly woman who had prayed for the anointing of the 
					Holy Spirit was anointed on the same day. And now, 11 years 
					passed in Christ in His love and care. God saved me through 
					His son, the one and only Jesus, in Him my soul rejoices.
					
 The Lord is using me to deliver people from unclean spirits, 
					sicknesses, bondages and darkness. My desire is to serve the 
					Lord Jesus Christ and I want to proclaim the teachings of 
					the Lord Jesus Christ which are very easy and simple to 
					follow. Nobody in the world can help a man as the Lord Jesus 
					Christ, only He can help him easily because he is very 
					closer to him. Let the Lord of peace stay with us and lead 
					us in all Light, perfection, happiness, love and peace. 
					Amen!
 
 Finally, I understood that Christianity is not a religion 
					and Jesus Christ is not a Lord solely for the Christians 
					alone. He is the son of the almighty God, and he came to 
					this world to save mankind from sin, bondage, sickness, 
					broken hearted, darkness etc. If you have any doubts please 
					do not hesitate to write to me or contact me. The motive 
					behind all these efforts is to bring good life to all and to 
					remove false doctrines and wrong beliefs.
 
 The salvation is given free because you can't pay a price 
					for that. The healing and deliverance is given free, no need 
					to bring cash or kind. The doors are opened for the poor and 
					the rich and they shall me seated together, all are equal 
					before God and his son Jesus Christ.
 
 THE TEACHINGS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST:
 
 "And He opened his mouth and taught them, saying" (Mat 5:2)
 
 "Know ye not that the unrighteous 
					shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: 
					neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor 
					effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor 
					thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor 
					extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God". (1 
					Cor 6:9,10)
 
 "Repent Ye: for the kingdom of heaven 
					is at hand" (Mat 3:2)
 
 "But I say unto you, That whosoever 
					looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery 
					with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend 
					thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is 
					profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, 
					and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. And if 
					thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from 
					thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members 
					should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast 
					into hell". (Mat 5:28-30)
 
 "But I say unto you, That ye resist 
					not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, 
					turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at 
					the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak 
					also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with 
					him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that 
					would borrow of thee turn not thou away". (Mat 
					5:39-42)
 
 "But I say unto you, Love your 
					enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that 
					hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and 
					persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father 
					which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the 
					evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on 
					the unjust". (Mat 5:44,45)
