Ek Nayee Zindagi
“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full….”
John 10:10
Many a time, we find ourselves standing at arm’s length with the struggles that so often tend to seem bigger than our own selves, there is no sign of hope; we lose our identities in the search of ending that struggle. We end up searching for peace.
The Bible tells us that God came into this world to give us life in abundance, but just stop and think if life was really so troublesome, do you think God really wanted to give it to us in full??
With Jesus, we not only emulate peace in our hearts, but learn that life has its battles which He will help us overcome.
Always remember friends that when you are up you are with God but when you are down God is with you! He came for you to this world. He came that you might live and live to the fullest…. He came to give you a brand new life - Ek Nayee Zindagi...

About the Hosts:

Akash Roychowdhury
Akash Roychowdhury came to join CBN India (Delhi) in September 2006 as the host of CBN India’s flagship television program “Ek Nayee Zindagi”. Akash sees this as a continuation of the vision God has given to him to teach the undiluted word of God all over the nation of India as well as in other countries of the world.
Akash comes from a family of staunch Brahmins and met the Lord in an Assemblies of God church in Lucknow on 15th March 1997. Since then he has seen God prove Himself faithful to him. God has seen him through intense persecution and has time and again proved to him that God is a good God. That is the message that burns in Akash’s heart and he is thankful to God that God has given him the opportunity to proclaim to the nation of India that God is a good God.
Carrying that vision Akash worked with Ulf Ekman Ministries, Sweden, in their Word of Life Bible School for five years where the Lord used him in different capacities and helped establish the Bible School in India. Akash also served as an Associate Pastor in Fountain Flow Christian Centre for a period of almost 2 years. And in 2006 God led him to CBN and since then he has been the host of Ek Nayee Zindagi.
Akash’s favourite hobby is to travel. He loves his Royal Enfield Thunderbird and his best times of personal satisfaction have been on his solo long bike rides. Shalita, Askah’s wife, works as an educator in one of the premier educational institutions of Delhi.
