Swami Dayanand Bharati has been serving Christ for the past 25 years. As a teenager, he was drawn towards the ancient Indian ideal of sannyasa, the renunciation of normal social relations in the quest for the Eternal. In his 20's, as a salesman for a pharmaceutical company, weariness with the ways of the world caused him to talk again about renunciation. He decided to treat into the jungle, and a customer and friend unbeknownst to him was a follower of Christ, gave him the names and addresses of some friends of his, who were pioneers Indian missionaries working among a remote tribal people. From that encounter, Swami began his pilgrimage to and in Christ.
