Is Jesus an avatar of Lord Vishnu?

[arun]

I think Jesus and Krishna were avatars of God/Brahman.

quote by Swami Vivekananda:

" To the Hindu, then, the whole world of religions is only a travelling, a coming up, of different men and women, through various conditions and circumstances, to the same goal. Every religion is only evolving a God out of the material man, and the same God is the inspirer of all of them. Why, then, are there so many contradictions? They are only apparent, says the Hindu. The contradictions come from the same truth adapting itself to the varying circumstances of different natures.

It is the same light coming through glasses of different colours. And these little variations are necessary for purposes of adaptation. But in the heart of everything the same truth reigns. The Lord has declared to the Hindu in His incarnation as Krishna, "I am in every religion as the thread through a string of pearls. Wherever thou seest extraordinary holiness and extraordinary power raising and purifying humanity, know thou that I am there." And what has been the result? I challenge the world to find, throughout the whole system of Sanskrit philosophy, any such expression as that the Hindu alone will be saved and not others. Says Vyasa, "We find perfect men even beyond the pale of our caste and creed." One thing more. How, then, can the Hindu, whose whole fabric of thought centres in God, believe in Buddhism which is agnostic, or in Jainism which is atheistic?

The Buddhists or the Jains do not depend upon God; but the whole force of their religion is directed to the great central truth in every religion, to evolve a God out of man. They have not seen the Father, but they have seen the Son. And he that hath seen the Son hath seen the Father also. " read more

If I may be frank I am worried about you. You seem to take offence at minor comments like someone calling you friend. You contradict your self a lot in the same post. Are you under a lot of stress. Are you ok.

Then why are you here?!

What would really matter in this context is if Christians see Jesus as an avatar of a God from a different religion and the answer is No. Just like Buddhists do not see the Buddha as an avatar of a Hindu God.

Christianity originated as distortions of Vedic beliefs.

Christianity is a mal-pronunciation of the Sanskrit term Chrisn-nity also spelled as Krishna-neeti.
Since Bhagavad Geeta is the book of Krishna-neeti, what we know as Christianity is a fossiled, broken branch of the Vedic tree, and in fact the ancient Bhagavad Geeta cult.


It is now well established that Papacy was a "Vedic priesthood" until Constantine the Great killed the Vedic pope to replace him with the head of the hitherto unimportant Christian sect. This instantly ensured the Europe-wide triumph of Christianity because of the sacred sway of the holy hoary Vedic priest (Shankaracharya)

Instead of goin threw all of these processes of purification, etc. why not just realize that you are the purity which you seek?

Thanks for your response.
Can you please explain why do you consider that he is not an avatar of God Vishnu.

Also the birth stories of Krishna and Christ have much in common.

People read those books and present the final conclusions, without ever having reached these conclusions themselves. Then they become hollow and start calling strangers friends. I am very curious if I am still your friend. Does it feel like I am your friend?

If you do not prefer to be called "friend", just say so. To me everyone here is a friend as we "talk" via this forum regularly.
