Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Discussion: Hello members, do you think the teachings of Jesus are compatible with HInduism or is Christ the only way to God. Can a HIndu be a follower of Christ. Ramakrishna said that Jesus was an avatar of Lord Vishnu. Does anyone know about Jesus's teachings in the Dead Sea Scrolls? Swami Dayatmananda from the Vedenta Centre responded to me saying the teachings of Christ are very similiar to Hindu teachings but that the Bible is not the direct words of Jesus but from his disciples and thus there are some apparent discrepancies in the way the Bilbe is interpreted. What do you think about Jesus and Hinduism and how can this connection be explained to the Christian community. Sincerely, Neil Mukherjee.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Hello Neil, There had been a research based on Jesus's life which claims that Jesus had spend some years in India (Puri) and Tibet, learning about Hinduism and Buddhism, during early period of his life. Though he had differences with some theories of Hinduism and Buddhism but both these religions supposed to have influenced the newly formed Christianity. You might like to read the book Kashmir o Tibbat Bhraman' by Gangadhar Maharaj in which Maharaj had acoounted about his visit to a Gumfa in Tibet where he came to hear about the Buddhist manuscripts which doucments about the visit of Jesus in Tibet and India .

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Dear brother, Peace be with you. Let this humble follower of Islam join this subject regarding the visit & stay of Prophet Jesus (peace and blessings of God Alimighty be on him) { whom we, Muslims, call "EESA"}. As an Indian Muslim, I am happy to learn and take it from me all Indian Muslims, like me, will be delighted to hear the Prophet Jesus nee Eesa (peace be on him) blessed our Motherland by visiting it. According to my faith, ALL MESSENGERS OF GOD ALMIGHTY belong to one brotherhood; they brought only one and the same message; all of them condemned the overlordship of man over man and called upon people to establish God's sovereignty on earth by recognizing Him alone as their Supreme Ruler and ovbeying His Laws and loving His Creations. Please furnish me with further details so that I may inform this good news to my fellow religionists. I hope you will take the trouble of doing it. In humble service of my esteemed fellow human beings, irrespective of all man-made differences, S.M.PASHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 The Jagannath Temple in Puri, India, maintains a chronological diary almost since its inception. This is known as the Madala Panji. This diary speaks of Ishu who came here to study Hinduism. At that time the Temple was open to non Hindu's also. It is said that he wore the robes of a monk and stayed at the Shankaracharya Math (Gobardhan Math). He must have adopted the monks garb as it would have given him easy access to all places and also kept him immune to the problems of the land. It is also believed that Jesus returned to India with some of his close associates and settled in Kashmir. He is also reportedly buried there. Regards, Jagannath.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2006 Report Share Posted January 18, 2006 Very interesting. Is " Ishu " synonymous with Jesus then? I have always wondered what he did in the years between his childhood and adulthood. glen -- jagchat01 <jagchat01 wrote: > > The Jagannath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 NAMASTE. I understand and believe the same to be true that the famous Persian Sufi poet Shaikh Saadi - may God Almighty bless his noble sould and let it rest in peace, far far away from this world of conflicts and untold miseries - visited India and stayed at the Somnath Temple to get first-hand information about Hinduism, as he was convinced that Hinduism is NOT a polytheistic religion and that it believes in One and Only One Supreme God Almighty. What do Hindu religious leaders especially Swami Vivekanandaji say about this :story"? S.M.PASHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Hello! Ramakrishna used to pray to Jesus, he called him Ishamasi.Ramakrishna was enlightened by all religions. I have heard that Ishamasi is mentioned in some texts in ancient India, anybody else know about this? God bless, Neil. Glen Halls <drglenh wrote: Very interesting.

Educated in Baghdad, he was widely-traveled, and had also visited India. Like Rumi, Saadi left a deep imprint on Sufi orders in India, and across the Middle East (from Damascus to Kabul). Notable in his writings are critiques of authoritarian and unjust rule, and miserliness amongst the rich (a theme also developed by Kabir)...... " One of his quotations is: " the greatest religion is service of the people " . Though Sw. Vivekananda may not have mentioned him by name , he certainly had imbibed the idea. Swamiji's father was a scholar of Persian and Urdu literature, and must have taught many of those ideas to him. Regards, Sunder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Yes Ishu is Jesus. In India Jesus is referred to as Issah Masiha. Ishu is a short form of that. It is very significant that Jesus stayed in the Sankaracharya Math. That proves he was acquainted with the advaitin monks. As pointed out by a publication of the Ramakrishna Mission, the Sermon on the Mount is an advaitic teaching. Just after his birth Jesus was visited by three men from the east who had come to know of his coming from their astrological readings. It is probable they were Indians and kept track of his movements, subsequently motivating him to visit India. It is reported that Jesus was very thrilled to note the religious fervour of the Indians. As was the custom with monks at that time Jesus may have travelled the entire length and breadth of the country. He must have visited Kashmir for him to come back there after resurrection. It seems no coincidence that St Thomas came to India to preach Christianity. He may have heard about India from Christ. Regards, Jagannath.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 Sir, To the best of my knowledge, Adi Shankara was born in Kalady in Kerala sometime 800 AD. All the Shankaracharya Maths have come into existense during his life time only. And Jesus came to earth 800 years before Adi Shankara's birth. Then how come that Jesus visited any Shankaracharya Math? I may be wrong on the dates. If so kindly correct me. With warm regards to all, Babu jagchat01 <jagchat01 wrote: Yes Ishu is Jesus.
