TESTIMONIAL INFORMATION

I was born in a Hindu religious Brahmin family. My father and forefathers known as Hindu Priests. Being an eldest son in the family my father consecrated me to Hindu gods when I was unconscious child. He used to teach me some Vaidik scriptures. His greatest desire was to teach me more about the Hindu scriptures and equipped me to be a priest like him.
After completion of a basic priesthood degree I found nothing true about the gods except their boasting fighting for power. I could not sense the love and personal relationship with the gods except threat of being punished if I failed to please them. I become badly frustrated. So I did not continue my priestly job but join in an underground political movement of a communist party. There, I progressed as a local leader.
My nature was to see all things critically; I simply did not obey anything without a thorough judgement. I was atheist but my inner heart was always lean to seek an Almighty Creator of the whole Universe, because I could not be convinced and satisfied by the Marxism Philosophy about the Creation. I was eager to know the truth so begun to search everything to read and find it. Even though my 'comrades' was to criticize me, I did not give up to read the Bible, when I first found it.
I became devoted student of the Bible from 1986, and I was reading with a critical point of view until the Words of God began to break my concept about life and eternity. Finally, I opened my heart to God! The Word compelled me to confess my sins, and consequently, I decided to be in Jesus Christ accepting Him my personal Savior and Lord in 1991.
After Democracy reformed in Nepal (1991), I came Kathmandu, to have higher education. I left my role in the political party and became a hidden Christian there. I met a brother, who was Christian like me. In 1992, we together started to pray and worship God. I took water baptism with total commitment to follow Him. Our prayer and our zeal to share Gospel begun to bear some fruits, about 20 new believers were gathered within a short period of our fellowship began. And soon it was identified as Christian Church! I am serving The Lord as an elder and associate pastor in the same Church - The Lord's Assembly in Kathmandu, Nepal. I used to write some articles for the local newspaper from my childhood. And now, I am totally convinced that God has given me the gift of writing, so I am doing with my best for this field. I served for the secular Journalism sector as well as the Christian literatures. I have authored three books and some books are under publication.
