Jesus Christ foretold in Hinduism


Hindus always speak highly of their sacred holy books of Vedas and Upanishad eventhough a very small percentage of them really know about it. They blindly follow the traditions of their ancestors without questioning the truth, because the authority and eligibility to read and to interpret the Vedas relies on the priest or Brahmin.

They say it’s too holy to be read by ordinary people so they keep them in the secret, but when one reads them they are led to another shocking truth of which they can’t deny.

a) Bhavisya Mahapurana, Book 3, Chapter 2, Verse 34, it says :

“ Ko Bhavanithi tham praaha sobhovaacham udaanwitte Eshaputram cha maam vidhi
kumaree garba sambhavam Aham Esa Maseeha nama”

Don’t know what it means ? (translation)
“ Who are you ? That man replied happily I am the Son of God, born to a virgin. My name is Eesa Maseeha !!


Eesa Maseeha is the hebrew name for Jesus Christ, another term which is used commonly is Messiah, in Arab we call it Al-Masih or Masihi, in Pali we call it Maitreya. You see that, it is different in languages but it has only one meaning, SAVIOR. There were no one in the history of mankind used this name except Jesus Christ, a man born in City of Betlehem, Palestine during 4 A.D.


Now as you can see, that portion gives us 3 important qualities or references of Jesus Christ :

1. Son of God
2. Born to a virgin
3. Eesa Maseeha


Let us look what the Bible has to say about this. Does it agree with it ? but before that, don’t be too doubtful and skeptical, you might think that the writers of Bible might have read the Sanskrit and wrote about Jesus. Come on, what are the chances of Jews of Middle East going so far to Indus Valley to find the Brahmins where they will not even give you the chance to read it. How about the language ?? Biography of Jesus was written by eyewitnesses which is his disciples within the 100 years after he went to heaven, it took them some time to investigate the details of the events, to make sure it is true.

a) Son of God 
(This does not mean that God married and had son. This is purely a term used for Jesus to
come to the world. He is the Word of God, part of God who became flesh and lived on this
world)

John 3 : 16 - 17
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him
shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to
condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

Luke 3 : 22
And a voice came from heaven “ You are my Son, whom I love, with you I am pleased”

Luke 4 : 3
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread”

Luke 4 : 41
Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, “You are the Son of God! “ but
Jesus rebuked them and would not allow them to speak because they knew he was the
Christ

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The
everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace

Many more were made but space would not contain because there are at least 456 prophecies and close references told in Old Testament and Jesus Christ fulfilled them all. I will list them later in another article. So, let us move on to the other criteria

b) Born to a virgin 
(This means Jesus is not the result of man-woman relationship but by the power of God.
A virgin was chosen to give him birth. To give him nature of blood and bones but
remaining sinless)

Matthew 1:18
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this qay: When as his mother Mary was pledged
to Joseph, before they came together (married), she was found with a child (Jesus)
of the Holy Ghost

Luke 1:26 -35
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named
Nazareth

Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel (God with us)


Immanuel = Im Man El
= In Man Elohim (God)

c) Eesa Maseeha
(Greek – Christ = Savior)
(Hebrew – Messiah = Savior)
(Arab – Al-Masih/Masihi)
(Pali – Maitreya)


Matthew 1:21
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name JESUS: for he shall save his
People from their sins

Matthew 2:1-5
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold,
There came wise men from the east to Jerusalem. Saying, Where is he that is born King
of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod
the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophets (in the Old Testament).

Luke 1:30-32
And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favor with God. And, behold, thou shall conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shall call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David.

John 1:34
And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of God! (sacrifice in substitute of sin of the whole world). He first finds his own brother Simon, and said unto him, We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ, v41. Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel, v49.

You might say that this evidence is not enough because i just gave you one portion of the hindu scriptures. As I told you before, if I were to quote everything you will be reading it all night. I myself will get tired. Not still satisfied, please go on to click the Hinduism came from Bible (search youtube) !!!. This time it is from the former Brahmin speaking on Jesus Christ in Vedas.
