The Light Watkins Show

In this first-ever Plot Twist episode of The Light Watkins Show, host Light Watkins revisits the conversation with Arjuna O’Neal, whose life story is as dramatic as it is transformative. Arjuna takes us on a journey from his troubled youth in Detroit to a near-death experience that redefined his existence.

Arjuna recounts his childhood in the Hare Krishna community of Detroit, under the shadow of his father, one of the city's biggest drug dealers. Despite his academic success, Arjuna was drawn into the dangerous world of drugs and crime to earn his father’s approval. He describes how his father manipulated him into the drug trade, using their relationship as leverage. This toxic dynamic led Arjuna to perform increasingly dangerous tasks, including a near-fatal drive-by shooting.

Ambitious to surpass his father, Arjuna took bold steps that ultimately resulted in his father placing a hit on him. This betrayal ignited a deadly cat-and-mouse game that lasted years, deeply affecting Arjuna's psyche.

The turning point came when Arjuna’s girlfriend, in a moment of rage and fear, accidentally shot him. As he lay bleeding, Arjuna experienced a profound spiritual encounter that shifted his entire outlook on life.

This near-death experience became the catalyst for Arjuna’s spiritual transformation. He shares how this moment of intense vulnerability and pain led to a deep inner awakening and a renewed connection with God.

Join us for an intense and moving episode as Arjuna O’Neal shares his journey from the brink of death to spiritual rebirth. His story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of profound change.
