In the world of philosophy, the concept of 'religious conversion' is clearly visible to us under philosophy of religion, where the meaning of religious conversion is taken from self-realization, change of heart, life transformation and attainment of supernatural or divine life etc. But the word conversion itself is confusing and ambiguous. The reason is that on the one hand, where in the world of philosophy, its meaning is taken in the context of self-realization and life transformation, on the other hand, it is also synonymous with 'proselytization', which means leaving one religion and accepting another. Various religious philosophers have presented appropriate discussion on this subject from time to time, especially Western philosophers William James and J.B. Pratt have presented a detailed discussion of this concept. However, in this context, almost all philosophers support the definition of religious conversion given by William James, according to which - "Religious conversion is indicated by various terms such as revival, receiving grace, permission of religion, obtaining assurance, etc." Therefore, it also takes the meaning of religious conversion in same term. It is worth mentioning that various religious philosophers and theologians have mentioned the factors which induce religious conversion in different ways, after studying which some such questions arise in front of us, the answers of which are being tried through this research paper. Thus, the aim of this research paper is finding some fresh approaches in new perspective.
