Sankara and Jesus etc

[Guest guest]

Namaste Prof et al,

 

"Sri Daya Mata, president of Self-Realization Fellowship, went to

India in 1959, and in an interview with one of India's great

spiritual leaders, His Holiness Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the

Shankaracharya of Puri, she mentioned that she had been told that

Jesus "spent some of his life in India, in association with her

illumined sages. His Holiness replied, 'That is true. I have studied

ancient records in the Puri Jagannath Temple archives confirming

those facts. He was known as "Isha," and during part of his time in

India he stayed in the Jagannath Temple. When he returned to his

part of the world, he expounded the teachings that are known today

as Christianity'"[20]. . . [Excerpts from Mason's book, In Search of

the Living God, Chapter 4] "

 

Dear Prof,

 

Has anybody checked the records at Puri, Jagganath Temple etc for

records on Sankar, which would be later than Jesus/Isa? AS you know

I am researching a book on Jesus, and there is hardly any 'facts'

available, even the gospels are not reliable. So I am relying on His

teachings rather than anything else. So it seem the same with

Sankara.................ONS...Tony.

In my humble opinion:

 

These claims are not new to us. You can find a lot of material on

this subject if you search on the Internet. Buddhistic and Islamic

religions have also actively claimed that Jesus belongs to them :-)

For example have a look at this link:

I would not really bother to attribute Jesus's origin to any other

religion. A simple question is "How does it matter?!". I see it a

point of arrogance from any religion to discard a great master by

attibuting his origin to their religion.

 

Great masters have walked all over the planet. It should not matter

where they have come from, what should matter to us is "what they are

trying to point out"..

Madhava Turumella
