Imo, Jesus synthesized the teachings of the dharmic religions and Judaism
I hope to make the same impression with my brand of theology in due course; but I am aware that I will not acquire a following within this life time. It is already too late for me for I am 62 years of age and undergoing several health concerns mentally and physically.I see them all as teachers that made such an impression on their peers that they gained enough of a following that resulted in the creation of religions venerating them and their teachings.
If Buddha and the Gurus told Hindus not to use their current methods and instead do it their way then why do so many Hindus worship them? Jesus too told us how to worship and that it's different from Hinduism so why complain about Jesus but not Buddha and the Gurus just because they're Indian?
... I'm just a village idiot, and maybe I know nothing at all, or am grossly misinformed. But what I have deciphered or come to understand is that with Jesus (and some others) , it's 'My way is the only way, you need me to get somewhere, to progress, etc.

Hindus have nothing against different ways of worship. It is considered an individual's choice. Both emphasized 'dharma'.If Buddha and the Gurus told Hindus not to use their current methods and instead do it their way then why do so many Hindus worship them?
Don't underestimate Indian villagers. They can dumb you down in religious debates. We have thousands of years of practice in religious discussions.India over the millennia has had its fair share of illiterate, uneducated villagers. But here we're talking about a people who had the nous to make incredible strides in medicine, astronomy, science, literature, mathematics, philosophy, theology, music and all kinds of disciplines.

Dharma is the key to understanding the Indo religions so they are respected, whereas Jesus did not focus on dharma but on worship and prayer. That is why they complain about Jesus and Allah too.If Buddha and the Gurus told Hindus not to use their current methods and instead do it their way then why do so many Hindus worship them?
