Three part series. Pete is a vicar, but he wants to learn from other cultures about feeling close to God. He journeys to India, where he ends up living in a cave.
Peter Owen Jones has been a vicar in the Church of England for 14 years, but he feels that other religions could help him to build a more personal relationship with God. He travels to the Kumbh Mela festival on the river Ganges. Here, Pete meets the Saddhus: a group of priests who see themselves as mediums between the Gods and humanity.
