Is there any contradiction between Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna?

Question

.



I wish to know the views of the respective believers of Christianity and Hinduism that wherether there is any contradiction between Lord Jesus and Lord Krishna or is there any supermacy of one to the other?

Are they similar in nature or one is the representative of God while the other is Devil - what is your interpretation and why?







- I will express my own view here - later - explaining, why I think so but I am now more interested in knowing about what the rest of the world thinks - equal in number from both of the believers.

My answer to this question would come below: .....

"If one loves Krishna, he must love Lord Jesus also. And if one perfectly loves Jesus he must love Krishna too. If he says, "Why shall I love Krishna? I shall love Jesus," then he has no knowledge. And if one says, "Why shall I love Jesus? I shall love Krishna", then he has no knowledge either. If one understands Krishna, then he will understand Jesus. If one understands Jesus, you'll understand Krishna too"

As Lord Jesus Christ said, we should hate the sin, not the sinner. That is a very nice statement, because the sinner is under illusion. He is mad. If we hate him, how can we deliver him? Therefore, those who are advanced devotees, who are really servants of God, do not hate anyone. When Lord Jesus Christ was being crucified, he said, "My God, forgive them. They know not what they do." This is the proper attitude of an advanced devotee. He understands that the conditioned souls cannot be hated, because they have become mad due to their materialistic way of thinking.

No they are different facets of the same gem of truth. Those who speak disparagely, speak out of their ignorance as they have not read the words of whatever one they "demonize".

There are common themes for many of the schools within Hinduism that can be found in the Vedic scriptures, and such works as the Bhagavad Gita. Remember yoga originated out of Hinduism. Most people only know the physical forms of yoga, called hatha, but those techniques area actually preparatory techniques for the higher practices of the spiritual types of yoga such as jnana, karma, and bhakti. You can practice a form of hatha but it helps to be grounded and centered in some sense in the higher forms of yoga or all you are doing is stretching. In the highest practices of yoga, they all lead to complete bhakti - surrender.

If you are interested in the yoga teachings of Lord Krishna, then one thing you may want to focus on to learn and practice in a more nonsectarian manner is the Uddhava Gita. The Uddhava Gita is a summation of the essence of the Bhagavad Gita (and the simplest and most direct practice of yoga), and so it is eminently suitable for nonsectarian, universal teaching which is the essence of Hinduism.

Here is a short summation of the Uddhava Gita which is found in the Srimad Bhagavatam (also known as Bhagavata Purana) 11.7:

EPILOGUE - LORD KRISHNA'S LAST SERMON

At the end of another long sermon comprising of more than one thousand verses, disciple Uddhava said: "O Lord Krishna, I think the pursuit of God as You narrated to Arjuna (in the Bhagavad Gita), and now to me, is very difficult indeed, for most people; because it entails control of unruly senses. Please tell me a short, simple, and easy way to God-realization." Lord Krishna upon Uddhava's request gave the essentials of Self-realization as follows:

· Do your duty, to the best of your ability, for Me without worrying about the outcome.

· Remember Me at all times. (Note that this is the point of chanting things like the mahamantra - Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Kare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare which is often chanted in kirtan or a variation of it. The whole point of kirtan and mantra is remembrance.)

· Perceive that God is within every living being. Mentally bow down to all beings and treat all beings equally.

· Perceive through the activities of mind, senses, breathing, and emotions that the power of God is within you at all times, and is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere instrument and a trustee.

I recommend the International Gita Society as they are nonsectarian, offer affordable translations of the Bhagavad Gita with commentary, and can help teach you the basics without having to spend a lot of money or submit to some guru you know nothing about:

They also have an online Gita study and discussion forum:

I hope these are helpful!

Answer 2

krishna is only a fictitious idol that indian hindus worship. he is a demon; an idol! Jesus is the only true divine. Krishna is a fake. Indians are deceived into following a lowly religion that upholds the worship of idols. The Bible says that idol worshipers are evil. God said never to worship idols. Jesus is real and Lord, not Krishna.

Answer 3

Look man...Krishna is the devil! Jesus is of God! One day Krishna will bow before Jesus and he will repent!

Answer 4

krishna is an idol of indians. indians are heathen peoples. they were ruled by british for a long time because they could not manage themselves. they were savages. today indians still worship pagan gods and sacrifice to idols. they do not realize that there is only one true God, Jehovah yeweh, and Jesus, yeshua is Lord!! Krishna is a fake, a demon from hell!

Answer 5

first jesus said in col.that he was the creator of everything,he is god,the truth not a truth,the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN.jesus rose from the dead,and is coming again.did krishna say or do any of these?also he is dead,still.i would rather believe and worship in a live jesus than a dead krishna.

Answer 6

Of course there is a contradiction! Are you insane?! Jesus is Lord and Krishna is a blue devil!!

Answer 7

Christianity is unique from all other religions because you have to admit you aren't worthy of salvation, and then come to God repentant, with the empty hand of faith. Only then will God save you, by his power, through his mercy, for his glory. Hinduism is just one of countless religions that teach we can do it on our own. That, my friend, is a contradiction.

Answer 8

the Lord Jesus's tomb is empty and Krishna , Don't bet on it

Answer 9

Are you kidding me?! HOW DARE YOU COMPARE KRISHNA WITH JESUS!!!
