Default Was Jesus Christ a Hindu?

The new book, titled as 'Jesus the Christ was a Hindu' published by Indian
Foundation for Vedic Science is the English translation of the original book
is authored by the late G.D. alias Babarao Savarkar, a great revolutionary,
who was the elder brother of Veer Savarkar. Babarao
Savarkar was sent to the famous Cellular Jail of the Andamans, for rigorous
imprisonment. In that horrible jail, he was imprisoned from 1910 to 1921.
When he was allowed to read the books available in that jail, Babarao
Savarkar
read many English books on the life of Jesus the Christ and was convinced
that
Jesus Christ was a Tamil Hindu. On release from the jail he wrote a book in
Marathi showing how Jesus Christ was a Hindu. The book was published in
1946; but
before the publication he had lost his life, on 16th March 1945. Dr. P. V.
Vartak
from Pune has translated this marvelous research book in lucid and easy
English.

Apparently, to say that Jesus was a Hindu, appears to be ridiculous, but on
reading this book everybody will be convinced that Jesus was a Hindu. He was
the preacher of Vedic Dharma. Christianity did not denote the religion of
Jesus but it denoted the Krishna nity or Geeta, since Jesus was the
propagator of the theology of Geeta. So Jesus didn't start any new religion.
It was later after his death that Christianity was introduced as a new faith
other than the Vedic one. Deep research of Shri. Babarao Savarkar
presented in this book shows that Jesus was a Tamil Hindu.
Jesus Christ did not go himself to Palestine, but his ancestors migrated
there
long ago. Long before Ramayana, Yayati's sons Anu and Turvasu migrated
there,
from whom arose the Yavanas and Turuks. After the Mahabharata war Yadavas
and
Abhiras migrated there from India. The word Yadava became 'Yada', while '
Abhira' became Habira and then Hibru. Their God Almighty was 'Jehova' the
Fire of yajna which is registered in the Rigveda 7-6-5, where is stated
"Jahvo Agnih".
Aristotal was told by a Jew scholar that Jews were originally Indians. Many
western
scholars admit it. The name 'Aremaik' of Palestinian language has arisen
from a
Sanskrit word 'Arvam' denoting "Tamil". It contains many Tamil words. When
crucified Jesus uttered, "Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabacthani". This is a Tamil
sentence, its original form being "Eloi, Eloi, Sabikka Lamada Ni ", which
means
"Oh God, why are you crushing or cursing me like this?"
Many ancient European portraits of Christ illustrated in this book show
Hindu signs on him like dark complexion, a sacred thread, hanging from his
left shoulder, a Dhoti around his waist, a Tilaka on forehead, a Mudra of
his fingers, a Danda in his hand and saffron robe. Those portraits are
painted by Christian European artists some 1500 years ago. Jesus was called
'Ben Pandera'. In Tamil 'Ben' means Child and 'Pandera' means Devotee. The
name Mary arose from Marium, which came from Tamil 'Mariamma'. Her portraits
show Hindu signs on her body. Her pictures are also ancient, sketched around
1500 years ago. Sister of Christ was named 'Thamar' which means Lotus in
Tamil, and it is a custom in India to keep name of a girl as lotus. Jesus
often told parables from 'Gheeda'. Gheeda is a corrupt form of 'Geeta'.
There was no such book as Gheeda around Palestine before Jesus. He told
stories of Jash. 'Jash' is a corrupt form of 'Vyasa'. [like Vyankappa =
Yankappa. Yajna = Jajna]. 'Jesus' is derived from Greek 'Jeshua', a
deviation of Keshua or Keshava. He was supposed to be incarnation of
Krishna. The term 'Krishna' corrupted into 'Krishta' and 'Christ'. Therefore
he was termed as 'Jesus the Christ', meaning Keshava the incarnation of
Krishna. Though a carpenter he is called 'Good Shepherd', in memory of
'Gopala' Krishna; because he was supposed to be an incarnation of Krishna.
There are many pictures of Jesus just like lord Krishna and his
incarnations. After his Thread ceremony at 12 years of age, he went to
India for studies and returned at 30. He wore a Philacteris made of Teckilim
or
Darbha. He emphasized a second birth (Dvija) for getting Heaven. This
'Dvija' is
the unique concept of Vedic people. Ample evidence has been showered in the
book to prove that Christ was a Hindu. Savarkar has given evidence to show
connection of Jesus with the Nath cult of Indian Yogis. A Bengali poem sung
traditionally in Nath Cult is cited in the book, in which Jesus is mentioned
as 'Isha Nath', who had gone to Arab country, died there, but revived again.
In that poem Isha Nath is honoured as a Parama Guru.
Finally, Jesus came to India and died in Kashmir. There are three tombs in
Kashmir - of Jesus, of Marium and of John, the Guru of Jesus.
The whole book is fascinating and is full of strong evidences. Life sketch of
Jesus is presented in a respectful manner. The esteem about Jesus increases on
reading this book. The original research of Savarkar is superb and the
translator has been quite successful in plucking out the actual significance
of the original Marathi book in English. If all the Christians read this
book, instead of trying to convert Hindus into Christian sect, they would
like to adopt their original Vedic Dharma. They would like to follow the
great theology of Geeta, preached by Jesus. I have a strong belief that on
reading this book the Hindus and Christians will develop brotherly and
peaceful relations.
If the Pope is lucky enough to this book, he would have to rethink over his
statement made by him during his visit to India in 1999. The Pope boasted
that in the first millennium Christians conquered the Europe, in the second
millennium Christians conquered America and Africa, and in the third
millennium Christians will conquer Asia. On that background Franchois
Gautier wrote an article in the Indian Express dated 25 Oct.1999, showing
how Hindu the Pope is.
A Russian oriental researcher Mr. Sergei Alexeyev in his talk on Moscow
radio said that Jesus Christ was a Hindu Sanyasin, an Indian Hermit. Jesus made
an in depth study of Hindu texts during his visit to India. Christ toured to
Delhi, Jaipur, Varanasi, Rishikesh. ( Ref. The Times of India 1-7-99).
Dr. Notovitch had done a similar research in the past, studying for 25
years.
Dr. Notovitch traveled in India. At the Buddha temple in Himmus, Tibet, he was
shown an ancient book, which records the reports of Christ in India for 17
years. It included one short book written by Christ himself. Dr. Notovitch
prepared three copies of that book and sent one to the Pope. However, the Pope
burnt it and wrote him that he should not do such folly again. Even then,
Dr.Notovitch published the book under title " The Unknown Life of Jesus".

Default Re: Was Jesus Christ a Hindu?

Neet, I always thought that our Coronation of Mary was so similar to a picture I once saw of Krishna and Arguna (was it) in the "Golden Chariot."

But you can't blame the Pope for burning that book if it would scatter his flock, can you now?

I suppose next we'll find it was Indians, not the Germans, that helped us get to the moon?
