SANATANA HINDUISM THAT ENLIGHTENED JESUS CHRIST

A lot is known about Jesus Christ and much more than that has been deliberately hidden away from public domain with malafide intentions, indeed. Purpose of this article is to expose all that so that people at large come to know standing of Christianity vis. a vis. Sanatana Hinduism.

At the dawn of 20th century, western tourists, mostly Germans used to frequent caves, hillocks and graves lying close to the Dead Sea in Israel. They used to come across groups of shepherds who once sold them a few pouches/bags for a small consideration. These pouches contained ancient documents, now famous as ‘Dead Sea Scrolls’. They in turn sold it to some museum in Germany as even they were unable to decipher those inscriptions. Thereafter began close scrutiny, study of those original manuscripts by experts, revelations that shocked them and reverberated throughout the world. 

A large group of ascetics and hermits used to dwell on the Dead Sea shore some 2000 years ago, known as Esaynese. They had raised Mutt-s on beaches, used to practise Sadhana and Brhamacarya with women strictly prohibited around. Startling discovery was the revelation that Jesus used to frequent those Mutt-s. From 11th to 15th years of his life, he stayed there regularly, used to participate in their ascetic activities, argue, discuss and ask questions in detail. Those highly enlightened Brhamacari-s taught Jesus a lot on principles of Sanatana Darsana and other related aspects. However, Jesus was not entirely satisfied and he expressed his innate desire to experience all that by himself. Thereupon, he was advised to go to Bharata without which attainment of direct experience would have been impossible. Jesus then moved to Bharata with a group of wandering traders and entered the country through Ladakha. He settled down at Hemis Mutt in Ladakha for long, documentary evidence of that is still available, studied/deciphered and published by some German and Muslim intellectuals. Jesus was quite popular in the Mutt and some of the Buddhista monks used to regard him an incarnation of Buddha. Insciptions and murals on stone-walls depict all incarnations of Buddha squatting meditatively with heavy locks of hair on top of head with only one exception, wherein he is depicted standing with heavy flowing hairline all over. That is how Jesus looked like in reality. Whatever Sanatana principles of Dharma he learned, founded basis of his famous ‘Sermon of the Mount’. 

From Ladakha, Jesus moved to Kasi, also known as Varanasi when King Salivahana of Saka  dynasty used to rule over Bharata, in whose honour Saka Samvata calendar of today is in vogue. Meeting between Jesus and King Salivahana is also mentioned in Bhavisya Purana which states that Jesus introduced himself to the King as ‘Gods son’ and he was addressed by the King as ‘Isa-Putra’ i.e. ‘Gods son’. 

From Kasi, Jesus proceeded to Puri in Odisa and participated in Ratha-Yatra of Bhagavana Jagannatha. He learned the concept of Bhakti from Vaisnavite followers of Puri deity. Principles of Bhakti entailing unconditional dedication unto Him was later consecrated as the foundation stone of Christianity. Indeed, thus evolved the basic foundation of Christianity in Puri in the mind of Jesus in company of Vaisnavite-s. 

From Puri, Jesus proceeded to Kaveri in south, a thriving centre for Tantra-Sadhana. In all, Jesus stayed in Bharata for 13 years. His entire tryst with Sanatana mysticism in Ladakha, Kasi, Puri and Kaveri is explicitly reflected in all tenets of Christianity though nowhere in Bible are these mentioned at all. Bible merely mentions that for some 13 years, Jesus was out of Jerusalem. When Jesus returned to Israel after his forays in this Hindu-land after 13 years or so, people there were for sometime, unable to reconcile his sudden appearance and new-found wisdom, erudition. He dedicated himself to preaching and propagation of all what he had gained from Bharata in Israel and nearby areas. He was also engaged in social work for the aggrieved and tormented, purportedly performed so-called miracles to entice more and more people to follow a regimented life. Finally, he was painfully hanged by his own people. Cardinal principle of tolerance of others views is the lofty ideal which he imbibed in Bharata yet could not transplant it in his own country. 

Buddha cavilled at Veda-s which constitute core of Sanatana wisdom yet he was always revered and adored by Hindu-s unlike Jesus who was tortured and sacrificed. On the contrary, when Jesus openly criticised superstitious/irrational practices of Jews, he was sentenced to death by a Roman court and ordered to pull a heavy cross through streets of Jerusalem, derided and jeered by large number of onlookers. He was ultimately nailed to the cross and allowed to die painfully. However, he somehow survived the agony, lived for some more time as documented in Dead Sea Scrolls. He has been described to be dwelling in the Mutt even after being crucified. An authentic evidence was his blood-spotted shroud, known as Shroud of Turin, when examined forensically established, blood spots came from a man alive. So the evidence of his survival was not only historic but also scientific too. Jesus was excavated and pulled out of his grave which caused the rumour later that Jesus was attained to the Heaven embodied !! He was actually brought to the Mutt on Dead Sea shore which he used to frequent during his youth, for treatment and convalescence. After convalescing to some extent, Jesus came back to Srinagara in Bharata via Iraq accompanied by his mother, now almost 40. Thus, his soteriological forays in Israel lasted mere six years. He expired in Kasmira and his grave still exists in the state. Names engraved on his grave are “Isu Asaf” and “Nabi Asaf”. Caretaker of the grave happens to be a Muslim who too, is in possession of an ancient document which he steadfastly refuses to share with the world in spite of being offered a substantial consideration. This grave is in typical Jewish style as Jesus was a Jew and not a Christian at all and he ever lived like a Jew. His mother too, died in Srinagara and her dilapidated grave is known as ‘Mariam Ki Mazar’. 

So, it comes out that Jesus was more associated with Bharata than Israel. He was in no way associated with Christianity while being entirely influenced by Sanatana Hinduism. He never propagated Christianity as Christianity came into existence much later. Thirty years after crucifixion of Jesus, his disciple Thomas came to Bharata and established a Church, House of God which turns out to be older than Vatican Church by seven years. 

Bharata has always been the land of Adhyatma and Samskriti, attracted Mumuksu-s and Jijnasu-s from world over. Purana-s constitute oldest written narratives of ancient history known to mankind and that way, Sanatana Hinduism had a very rich/ancient tradition of maintaining recorded history. It is profoundly unfortunate that some of the invading intellectuals declared, Hindu-s did not have any tradition of recording history at all !! History must transform itself into tales/folklore, then into Purana-s with passage of time so as to become sacrosanct verticals of ancient wisdom and avoid controversies later, whatsoever. According to Saka Samvat calendar, current year of 2016 corresponds with Saka Samvat 1938. It means, Jesus met the King in Kasi some 1938 years ago while Christian calendar declares his birth some 2016 years ago. Record of almost 50 to 70 years of his life has not been explained in Christian literature at all. Such a silence rather, blackout of facts only smacks of malevolent intentions of evangelical variety.
