Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 The christian god Jesus Christ is almost a carbon copy clone of the hindu god Krishna which existed 900 to 1200 years before Jesus Christ. Christ isn't the only god that is a clone of the Krishna god. Many others exist. For example Buddha is also a clone of the Krishna god that existed hundred of years before Christ. KRISHNA Krishna was the eighth Avatar or incarnation of the god Vishnu, one of the Hindoo Trinity. In this incarnation Vishnu, it is said, "appeared in all the fullness of his power and glory." His mother was Devaki. He is believed to be a historical character, but his real history, like that of Jesus, is almost entirely obscured by myths. He lived from 900 to 1,200 years before the Christian era The story of his life is to be found in the "Bhagavat," one of the "Puranas," while his religious teachings are given in the "Bhagavad-Gita," a poem belonging to the "Mahabarata." The points of resemblance between Krishna and Christ that have been printed would fill a volume. Some of these are apocryphal, and not confirmed by the canonical scriptures of India The limits of this chapter preclude an extended list even of the undoubtedly genuine. I shall confine myself chiefly to a presentation of the most important ones relating to their births. These, according to the Christian translator of the "Bhagavat Purana," Rev. Thomas Maurice, are as follows: 1. Both were miraculously conceived. 2. Both were divine incarnations. 3. Both were of royal descent. 4. Devatas or angels sang songs of praise at the birth of each. 5. Both were visited by neighboring shepherds. 6. In both cases the reigning monarch, fearing that he would be supplanted in his kingdom by the divine child, sought to destroy him. 7. Both were saved by friends who fled with them in the night to distant countries. 8. Foiled in their attempts to discover the babes both kings issued decrees that all the infants should be put to death. Writing of Krishna in the eighteenth century, Sir William Jones says: "In the Sanscrit dictionary, compiled more than two thousand years ago, we have the whole history of the incarnate deity, born of a virgin, and miraculously escaping in infancy from the reigning tyrant of his country" (Asiatic Researches, Vol. I, p. 273). The subsequent careers of these deities are analogous in many respects. Their missions were the same - the salvation of mankind. Both performed miracles - healed the sick and raised the dead. Both died for man by man. There is a tradition, though not to be found in the Hindoo scriptures, that Krishna, like Christ, was crucified. Various incidents recorded in the life of Christ were doubtless suggested by similar incidents in the life of Krishna He washed the feet of his disciples because Krishna had washed the feet of the Brahmins. He taught his disciples the possibility of removing a mountain, because Krishna, to protect his worshipers from the wrath of Indra, raised Mount Goverdhen above them. His parents in their flight with him, as related in the Gospel of the Infancy, stopped at a place called Matured Krishna was born at Mathura The earliest followers of each were from the lower classes of society, those of Krishna being herdsman and milkmaids. Christ's most ardent worshipers have from the first been women: "Chrishna," to quote the authority last mentioned, "continues to this hour the darling god of, the women of India" McClintock and Strong's Cyclopedia notes the following events in the history of Krishna which correspond with those related of Christ: "That he was miraculously born at midnight of a human mother and saluted by a chorus of Devatas [angels]; that he was cradled among cowherds, during which period of life he was persecuted by the giant Kansas and saved by his mother's flight; the miracles with which his life abounds, among which were the raising of the dead and the cleansing of the leprous" (Art. "Krishna]. The celebrated missionary and traveler, Pere Huc, who made a journey of several thousand miles through China and Tibet, says. "If we addressed a Mogul or Tibetan this question, Who is Krishna? the reply was instantly 'The savior of men.""All that converting the Hin- doos to Christianity does for them," says Robert Cheyne, "is to change the object of their worship from Krishna to Christ. Of Krishna's gospel, the "Bhagavad-Gita," Appleton's Cyclopedia says, "Its correspondence with the New Testament is indeed striking." The parallels between Krishna and Christ to be found in the Hindoo scriptures and the Christian Gospels are too numerous and too exact to be accidental. The legends of the one were borrowed from the other. It is admitted by Christian scholars that Krishna lived many centuries before Christ. To admit the priority of the Krishna legends is to deny, to this extent, the originality of the Gospels. To break the force of the logical conclusion to be drawn from this some argue that while Krishna himself antedated Christ, the legends concerning him are of later origin and borrowed from the Evangelists. Regarding this contention Judge Waite, in his History of the Christian Religion, says: "Here then, we have the older religion and the older god. This, in the absence of any evidence on the other side, ought to settle the question. To assume without evidence that the older religion has been interpolated from the later, and that the legends of the older hero have been made to conform to the history of a later character, is worse than illogicalÄit is absurd."

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 "Because swans share common unique characteristics does not mean that they each do not possess those qualities. " Similarities do not mean one borrowed from the other necessarily. If both were sent by God, or if both were manifestations of God, the similarities could have been intentional for some reason. Who knows? As for these stories about Krishna being crucified like Christ, if these aren't recorded in any text, then why do Christians KEEP trying to make this connection with Christ?
