• Evil forces pursued both Christ and Krishna <strong>in</strong> va<strong>in</strong><br />
• Christ is often depicted as a shepherd; Krishna was a cowherd<br />
• Both appeared at a critical time when their respective countries were <strong>in</strong><br />
a torpid state<br />
• Both died of wounds caused by sharp weapons - Christ by nails and<br />
Krishna by an arrow<br />
• The teach<strong>in</strong>gs of both are very similar - both emphasize love and peace<br />
• Krishna was often shown as hav<strong>in</strong>g a dark blue complexion - a color<br />
close to that of Christ Consciousness.”<br />

In the Gnostic gospels there are mythical stories about Jesus which are<br />
very much parallel to the Krishna myths which is also quoted by the<br />
Krishnites to support their thesis.<br />
But these were written well after 300 AD. If we look close, we will see<br />
that Buddha also had very close similarity <strong>in</strong> many of the above factors.<br />
Cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g the Quote from<br />
http://aztec.asu.edu/ash/thavlai2/krishna.html:<br />
“The subsequent careers of these deities are analogous <strong>in</strong> many respects.<br />
Their missions were the same - The salvation of mank<strong>in</strong>d. Both<br />
performed miracles, healed the sick and raised the dead. Both died for<br />
man by man. There is a tradition, though not to be found <strong>in</strong> the H<strong>in</strong>du<br />
scriptures, that Krishna, like Christ, was crucified.<br />
“Various <strong>in</strong>cidents recorded <strong>in</strong> the life of Christ were doubtless<br />
suggested by similar <strong>in</strong>cidents <strong>in</strong> the life of Krishna. He washed the feet<br />
of his disciples because Krishna had washed the feet of the Brahm<strong>in</strong>s.<br />
He taught his disciples the possibility of remov<strong>in</strong>g a mounta<strong>in</strong>, because<br />
Krishna, to protect his worshipers from the wrath of Indra, raised Mount<br />
Govardan above them. His parents <strong>in</strong> their flight with him, as related <strong>in</strong><br />
the Gospel of the Infancy, stopped at a place called Matured, Krishna<br />
was born at Mathura .<br />
