:
: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?
The best book which may answer most of your above queries is:
Jesus Lived in India: His unknown life before and after crucifixion,
