I am a Christian and have been reading several books that
deal with the similarities of several ancient religious figures,
including Krishna, to Jesus, in terms of conception, birthday, events
surrounding the birth, miracles performed, manner of death,
rising from the dead, ascending to heaven, etc. Krishna seems
to be the oldest of these (about 1100 BC), and I would appreciate
it if one of you who is of the Hindu faith could tell me more about
the Hindu Bible and dating of the entries that speak of these events
in the life of Krishna. It seems so obvious from the literature
that there was plagarism by Christian founders from the Hindu and
possibly the Chinese Bibles, but I need more specific data, such as
cave paintings, sculptures, etc., that have been accurately dated
as having been made before the life of Jesus. How many practicing
Hindus are there today? Is Krishna and/or Buddha the central figure(s)
in this religion?
Sincerely,
John Johnson
