About

“And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” – John 8:32

Rahil is a Speaker and Tutor at the OCCA The Oxford Centre for Christian Apologetics. His work revolves around Hinduism and searches how to offer the beauty of the Christian Gospels to that eastern worldview in order to build bridges across demographics and faiths.

Prior to his work as a Christian, Rahil was a Hindu monk for 20 years with one of the world’s most influential Hindu traditions. Within the tradition, he oversaw teaching and the expansion of Hindu temples throughout Europe and Russia before he had a powerful encounter with Jesus Christ.

Rahil’s biography, Found by Love, is published in 5 different languages.

If Rahil is coming to speak at your event, please find some publicity material here.
