From Hindu monk to Christian: Rahil Patel on karma, grace and finding Jesus
About this episode
Rahil Patel shares his transformative journey from being a Hindu monk to embracing Christianity, discussing themes of karma, grace, and religious understanding.
Rahil Patel spent 20 years as a Hindu monk, pursuing God through prayer, fasting, pilgrimage and strict spiritual discipline. But beneath his success as a respected teacher, troubling questions remained. Then, after a series of unexpected encounters with Christianity, Rahil walked into a London church and experienced the moment that changed his life. He joins Luke Martin on the Unbelievable podcast to share his remarkable journey from Hindu monasticism to faith in Jesus, and why moving from karma and striving to grace proved so difficult. They also explore what Christians misunderstand about Hinduism, whether all religions are different paths to the same God, and Rahil’s provocative perspective on Christianity, British colonialism and modern India. A fascinating conversation about spiritual longing, religious pluralism, grace, history and the search for God.
