Since 1970, Jyoti Sahi has also worked in close association with the National Biblical Liturgical and Catechetical Centre (
NBCLC), which is a renewal centre set up by the Catholic Bishop's Conference in India.
Born and brought up in Mumbai with roots in Goan traditions, I was thoroughly "Western", totally unequipped for an Ashramic lifestyle, much less in Indian Spirituality, except for my conversion to Indianization in 1979, when as a young college lecturer I was sent to
NBCLC, Bangalore for a Seminar, where I met Fr Amalorpavadas, who made me realise that skin deep I was truly Indian.
