Why do you believe what you believe?

For many people, they believe a faith, a theory, or a narrative, because it’s what their family or their parents believed.

This was true of Author Sangram Vajre who was raised in the Hindu faith. As he began to
consider his “why” for what he believed, he felt it was important to make an organized and thought-provoking written record of his investigation into Hinduism and Christianity.

Throughout Sangram’s journey, The God of India was written.

The God of India helps people of Indian origin examine what they believe

The God of India is part personal story, part investigation of the people, languages, archaeology and narratives of Hinduism and Christianity in an effort to uncover the truth that there is one true God. Author Sangram Vajre shares his personal testimony of coming to faith in Jesus Christ and how God led him to investigate his faith of origin, Hindu.

Through countless books, oral presentations, and conversations with faith leaders, Vajre compiled his questions and answers, along with evidence, in this book — his most meaningful project to date.

In what can be described as a labor of love, Vajre wrote The God of India with his family foremost in mind. First, it’s a history of his family’s embrace of Christianity, and second, it is a clear and rational summary of evidence that invites discussion among his Hindu family members.

If you’re searching for truth, and interested in examining why you believe what you do about faith, The God of India will guide you to a deeper understanding of faith in God. It’s Vajre’s hope that families will sit together using reason to answer the questions raised in this book.

The God of India by Sangram Vajre is a guide for healthy, tough-love conversations meant for those who collectively and individually seek the truth, not skipping over the most important question of our lives

“Why do I believe what I believe?”

The 7 Most Provocative Questions

In writing this book, I wrestled with seven questions about faith, the Hindu scriptures, and the Bible. I think they will make your head spin, and I hope that this book will help you answer these questions, or at least inspire you to dig deeper:
  • Are we truly here from millions of years?
  • Why are some stories universal?
  • If idolatry is not in the RigVeda, so where did it come from?
  • If Sanskrit is not the original language of the world, where did it come from?
  • Is India land of immigrants and not uni-source?
  • How can there be 33 million gods and still growing?
  • Is Abraham the father of all faiths that believe in One God?

Reviews for The God of India

“Once upon a time, my goal was to become a CEO of a billion-dollar company. As I encountered Jesus in my life, that goal has transformed into: Positively impact a billion people in my life. The difference in these goals is Christ.”

— Sangram Vajre, Author

About Author Sangram Vajre

Sangram Vajre came to the United States at the age of 25 to complete his Masters from the University of Alabama in 2002 with just $350 in his pocket. He then went on to lead marketing at Pardot, and soon after, co-founded his first startup that has grown into a multi-million dollar company. He has been awarded numerous accolades for his leadership and success in business. He is a bestselling author of three books, including ABM is B2B: Why B2B Marketing and Sales is Broken and How to Fix it and Move: The Four-Question Go-to-Market Framework. His humble beginnings have transformed into extraordinary growth, giving him a unique perspective on life and business.

Yet, Sangram would tell you that his business accomplishments fall far short of the honor and joy he has of calling Jesus his Savior, being a husband to his wife Manmeet, and father to his two beautiful children

At the height of his career, and in the midst of tremendous stress, Vajre began his search to find answers to his questions about faith. The result of his research is written in this book to help people of Indian origin and their friends to explore what and why they believe what they believe. For Vajre, there is no other answer to his questions than there being the one true God found in the Christian faith.

“So my goal with the book is simple: To be able to talk to my mom in love and reason through history and not theology. I want to talk to my neighbors about God with clarity and deep understanding and not as a pastor with a seminary degree. I want my kids to be able to reason across faiths as they will struggle through life and to guide them to find answers in something that does not change as the fleeting messages on social media. I want to dare future generations to ask tough questions that go deeper than simply ignoring or walking away from their roots and faith.”
