<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

• 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 />
