I am currently a PhD research scholar with Institute of Dialogue with Cultures and Religions (IDCR)  I am a married father of three with an amazing and supportive wife and 2 sons and a daughter and grand kids.

This page is for me to share my thoughts, sermons, messages and life experiences that I felt can be of use to others in understanding the love of God and his mercy and grace that goes before us at all times. In troubled times such as these we are often reminded that we are not alone. I also use this page to generate fruitful debate particularly from a pluralistic theologian point of view and sharing it as a space for inter faith dialogue.

Please follow me for regular updates on the links above. I will post both in English and my mother tongue Tamil. I look forward to a fruitful interaction.

God bless you all. – Rev  Dr J Bavani Rajan.
