Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 121 (4) devoting one's life to the Purush ((bhaktimaarg) in gratitude for the sacrificial substitution. The resurrected Purush-Prajapati is returning to earth once more: according to the Vedas, this is the last Avataar (human incarnation) The presence of such teachings right in the midst of the Hindu Scriptures have been interpreted erroneously as prophetic utterances of the ancient sages. Such an approach may be acceptable to the Hindu public who claim origins of the Vedas and Upanishads beyond human history. The fact is that these were of recent origin. That alone can explain these passages. Christianity came in India through the ministry of St.Thomas around the second half of the first centaury AD. These passages corroborate the tremendous influence it had on the Indian ethos. In the early Christian era, evidently there existed an Indian Christian Church in the midst of the Vedic and Dravidic and Rural religions of the period. Their impact was so great that no scripture or revelation that came after that period in India could ignore the Prussia Prajapathy presented by Thomas. While identification of Prajapathi, as Christ is evident, later mythical development around it has to be also understood in the same spirit. We should remember that there were several opposing sects in the Indian religion which were out to mock at each other. Such derogatory stories abound in all six sections of the modern Hinduism. Vaishanavite have made stories that laugh at Siva and Saivite have made stories that laugh at Vaishanavite and so on. Then someone else would come along, make a compromise, and make a myth of synthesis. Such vilification process also came along with the lofty Purusha Prajapathy concept to undermine the supremacy of Purusha. This is seen in the later additions to Prajapathy concept like the one stated below. Prajapati according to some Hindu scriptures, committed incest with his own daughter (Rohini) and received punishment from other gods by way of dismemberment of his body into four parts. This nullifies the Prajapathy Sacrifice as a proper creative or redemptive act. http://www.interlog.com/~mathewa/napt1.htm
Hinduism: What Really Happened in India – M. M. Ninan 122 These only show that the development and assimilation of the Christian concepts were a struggle and a process; and that other primitive religious forces were in the foray. Baladeva as Christ In this strict Vaishanavite tradition, the Trinity is represented by Lord Jaganath, Lord Baladev and Subhadra corresponding to God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The Gaudiya tradition represents them in more abstract way. Jagannath means Lord of the Universe. Jagnnath is black, representing sunya or incomprehensibity. He is also 'Devadhideva' (the Lord of the Lords) and 'Rajadhiraj' (King of the Kings). He is Purushottama i.e. the Supreme Man. Baladev means Mighty God and is always represented as white being the comprehensible or who can be percived or understood. Subhadra means Comfort. Subhandra is female in gender and is always the intermediary – the Spirit and Power of life. The Trinity Jagannath , Subhadra and Balabhadra The well-known trinity representation of the trinity is the Trinity Ananda Sesha – the infinite remains. The trinity is the expression of the infinite unknowable in the knowable perceptive jagat. Puri is considered to be
