<strong>Hinduism</strong>: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 92<br />
“The earliest followers of each were from the lower classes of society,<br />
those of Krishna being herdsman and milkmaids. Christ's most ardent<br />
worshipers have from the first been women: "Chrishna," to quote the<br />
authority last mentioned, "continues to this hour the darling god of, the<br />
women of India" “<br />
Then he concludes “The parallels between Krishna and Christ to be<br />
found in the Hindoo scriptures and the <strong>Christian</strong> Gospels are too<br />
numerous and too exact to be accidental. The legends of the one were<br />
borrowed from the other. It is admitted by <strong>Christian</strong> scholars that<br />
Krishna lived many centuries before Christ. To admit the priority of the<br />
Krishna legends is to deny, to this extent, the originality of the Gospels.<br />
To break the force of the logical conclusion to be drawn from this some<br />
argue that while Krishna himself antedated Christ, the legends<br />
concerning him are of later origin and borrowed from the Evangelists.<br />
Regarding this contention Judge Waite, in his History of the <strong>Christian</strong><br />
Religion, says: "Here then, we have the older religion and the older god.<br />
This, in the absence of any evidence on the other side, ought to settle the<br />
question.<br />
“To assume without evidence that the older religion has been<br />
interpolated from the later, and that the legends of the older hero have<br />
been made to conform to the history of a later character, is worse than<br />
illogical- it is absurd."<br />
Sir William Jones, one of the best <strong>Christian</strong> authorities on Sanskrit<br />
literature, and the translator of the "Bhagavad-Gita," says: "That the<br />
name of Krishna, and the general outline of his history were long<br />
anterior to the birth of our Savior, and probably to the time of Homer<br />
[950 B.C.], we know very certainly" (Asiatic Researches, Vol. I. p. 254).<br />
This is from the book "THE CHRIST" by John Remsberg. The book is<br />
great. It shows how Christ is just a copycat god of KRISHNA, BUDDA,<br />
and many other gods that existed thousands of years before Christ, and<br />
even a few copycat gods that were invented AFTER Christ. “<br />
