Hello,
I used to be a more or less strict christian for around 12 years now but I have become very disillusioned about my religion and cannot trust the bible anymore. I still have some faith in Jesus but I do not even know how to formulate it and how to rely on it. My life is very difficult, I suffer from schizophrenie and I am very poor.
So recently I have tried to look at other religions and came to hinduism. I've tried to look at this religion before but I didn't go too deep with it. But now it's like Krishna and the other gods are calling me. And I find the hindu religion very attractive because it has no hellfire punishments or someone like Satan whom the hebrew scriptures describe as something like a bad but still accepted servant of God. The whole hindu faith seems more positive and rational. And Krishna certainly seems very benevolent compared to Yahweh who frequently created chaotic and fierce wars for people who didn't even do much wrong.
So as you can see, I am close to becoming a hindu. I am very tired of christianity. I think Jesus was somehow a saint and a demigod whose father is also a benevolent deity. But they are separate from the biblical message which doesn't do God justice and which distorts christian religious history.
How can I now access Krishna as my divine friend? How do you see Jesus from a hindu perspective? And, most importantly, is there a hindu alternative to taking christian communion? Taking communion was something I enjoyed in church life and I would like to continue with it. That's why I also ask if it might be possible to combine hinduism with select pieces of christianity. I am culturally european and while I am getting a hold on hinduism now the language and names feel a bit foreign to me. So Jesus sometimes feels closer to me. As a last question, I think I am suffering from inward demons. How can this be remedied with a hindu method? I do not quite think it is a literal evil being in me but instead a cut off part of myself that turns against me and works against the wellbeing of my heart and soul.
Thank you for your time. May Krishna bless you!
