Christ, Krishna, And You - Venkatesananda, Swami

Those of us who believe in the One God know that, albeit in various ways and forms, everyone worships Him alone. We may start to climb a mountain from any place we like, but the higher we get the closer we get to each other. Only God can restore this understanding - and He does, by periodically manifesting Himself on this earth plane. Two such manifestations fuel the hearts of all humanity today - Krishna and Christ. Are they two? Do not even the names sound similar? and their lives... and their teachings? Are they two or one? Historians charm us with well-reasoned arguments to prove Christ lived two thousand years ago, and Krishna nearly four or five thousand years ago. In prehistoric calculations, thousands of years are but hours in contemporary history! Could it be that Christ lived a little earlier and Krishna a little later then at present believed? Could it be then, that we are talking about the same Person, some calling Him Christ and others Krishna? Any guess is hazardous. But if He reveals the Truth, may it not unite us all - Hindu and Christian - in the realization that we are all truly brothers and sister, worshiping the Same Divinity? Let us look at the life and teachings of Christ and Krishna with our eye of intuition so we may obtain as much inspiration as possible.
