Hi, I am John Narayanan. I have been a follower of Jesus Christ for about six years now. My family belongs to the Brahmin Hindu caste. For four years, I studied the Vedas, which are the Hindu sacred writings, in the evenings after school. For two years, I learned yoga. I was exposed to meditation, special breathing, and kundalini or chi teachings. Then I came to Singapore to study. During one set of school holidays, I even served as a relief priest at a Hindu temple here. Despite my early and steep involvement in Hinduism, my family transferred me from a famous Hindu school to a Christian missionary school. From there I learned the song from Psalm 42, “As the deer panteth for water so my soul longeth after Thee.” I believe that it was this seed that brought me to the Lord Jesus.

The Death Of My Guru - Testimony of Jag Mohan Chhabra - Here I was lacking nothing … power, position and wealth. But there was no peace within. Whatever I attempted ended in failure. My deteriorating health filled me with fear. I received all kinds of suggestions to resolve my situations and I tried most of them. I was like a drowning man, clutching at every straw. It was then, one fine morning at 7.00 am that my sister- in- law along with some friends descended on my home and she said: “We have come to pray for you; there is witchcraft done on you!”  They offered to pray for me though I was least inclined and had difficulty concealing my hatred. And she insisted that I pray to Jesus leaving all other gods and goddesses of mine. I, a staunch Hindu, was not willing to do it. I told her that the only concession I was willing to make was to accept Jesus as one of the gods.
