From Krishna to Christ


Book Description

From Krishna to Christ is a memoir of a young womans heartrending experiences of subjugation to the will of men in her family and the Hindu society, and the breaking of the shackles of bondage into the light of freedom. It is a story of her journey and slow transformation from being a servile Hindu woman and worshiping Hindu gods of clay namely Krishna, Shiva and Ram, to her faith and trust in Jesus Christ, and finally emerging as a mature and enlightened woman in spite of the difficulties and persecutions she faced in following Jesus. The story starts from her childhood, from the day she encountered Christ in the form of a picture, and ends with her coming to Bethany Theological Seminary in the United States, and dedicating her life totally to God by serving as pastor in Panora Church of the Brethren.

A ground-breaking work in comparative theology.

Christ and Krishna


Book Description

"This book focuses on the mystical aspect of the religious journey. Its mandate is to highlight the harmony of spiritual truth, not the divisiveness that separates the various religious traditions. This is accomplished in the form of a story -- a dialogue between two friends, both born and raised in India. One is a wandering mendicant in the Vaishnava-Hindu tradition and the other a Jesuit theologian. While the interaction in this book is fictitious, it is based on decades of my own interreligious conversations with numerous rabbis, priests, and other clerics of assorted faiths" -- author's website.




Messengers Of Peace - Similar Teachings Of Jesus Christ And Lord Krishna


Book Description

This book shows the common teachings of Jesus Christ and Lord Krishna. When we look at Hinduism and Christianity we find totally different ideologies with different doctrines and different gods. But when I studied Bible, I found striking similarities between the teachings of Jesus Christ and Hinduism. In this book I have tried to show those similarities by putting the teachings of Jesus and Krishna together. It is not my intention to show Jesus as a Hindu Guru, I don’t know if He had visited India or not. I have just tried to show that the Consciousness of humanity is same everywhere and prophets of different time and place have expressed the same reality about it. - Saurabh




Krishna & Christ, Volume 1


Book Description

What is religion? In the pure sense of the word, religion means to reconnect to God. Yet, in today’s world it is so rarely seen as that. Religion is seen as divisive, dogmatic, sometimes even primitive. But what is the cause of this? We see that humans and their ideas are most often the cause of unnecessary conflict, unnecessary division and unnecessary tension. At the core of both Christianity and Hinduism lie God’s words, recorded in their respective scriptures. Yet so often we struggle to truly understand them. Volume 1 of the Krishna & Christ set highlights and dives deep into the thematic of who God is, the Creation of the Universe, who are we and how to come closer to (or to attain) God. By using the quotes from the Bhagavad Gita, the Bhagavatam and the Bible, this book gives you the opportunity to rediscover the timeless purity and essence of Christianity and consequently drawing a comparative analysis to the world’s oldest religion, Hinduism. The reader is invited to look deeper and ‘out of the box’ of doctrines. In the depths of everyone is the same Truth, the same Love, the same Essence.
