Bairagi of India

As temple priests and followers of the Hindu god Vishnu, the Bairagi (buy-RAH-jee) of India are chained to the ways, practices, and beliefs of Hinduism. Devotion to Vishnu defines their identity, which is passed from generation to generation. They rely upon meditation and strict self-denial, while also believing that they need Vishnu’s grace to achieve liberation. Found in temples across most Indian villages and cities, the Bairagi are visible yet unreached with the gospel. Without a gospel witness, they will remain bound to worshiping a false god.
