From Krishna to Christ is a memoir of a young womans heartrending experiences of subjugation to the will of men in her family and the Hindu society, and the breaking of the shackles of bondage into the light of freedom. It is a story of her journey and slow transformation from being a servile Hindu woman and worshiping Hindu gods of clay namely Krishna, Shiva and Ram, to her faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and finally emerging as a mature and enlightened woman in spite of the difficulties and persecutions she faced in following Jesus. The story starts from her childhood, from the day she encountered Christ in the form of a picture, and ends with her coming to Bethany Theological Seminary in the United States, and dedicating her life totally to God by serving as pastor in Panora Church of the Brethren.

"This book focuses on the mystical aspect of the religious journey. Its mandate is to highlight the harmony of spiritual truth, not the divisiveness that separates the various religious traditions. This is accomplished in the form of a story -- a dialogue between two friends, both born and raised in India. One is a wandering mendicant in the Vaishnava-Hindu tradition and the other a Jesuit theologian. While the interaction in this book is fictitious, it is based on decades of my own interreligious conversations with numerous rabbis, priests, and other clerics of assorted faiths" -- author's website.
