dattaswami Posted November 25, 2006 Report Share Posted November 25, 2006 Krishna Vs Jesus Christianity is represented by Jesus only. But Hinduism is represented by various forms of God like Rama, Shiva etc. Rama is equal to Jesus in all aspects. You can still remain in Hinduism by worshiping Lord Rama. Shankara was also a bachelor and preacher like Jesus. Some say that Jesus also was married. In such case Rama is like Jesus. If you say that Krishna was a sinner by dancing with Gopikas and for His illegal affairs with them, Jesus also should be a sinner because He was a non-vegetarian. The ethical scriptures say that killing a living creature is the greatest sin (Ahimsa Paramo Dharmah). If you compare these two sins, the latter is more severe. Killing a living being by force is equal to rape which is also done by force. Krishna did not rape Gopikas, where as a non-vegetarian kills the living being by force. The person who eats the flesh of a killed living being is equal to the killer in sharing the sin because the killer is killing for the sake of the eater only (Karta Karayita Chaiva…). Kapalikas eat the flesh of a living being which dies in natural way and thus there is no sin in it. I am not criticizing Jesus because Rama was also a non-vegetarian. Just for a counter argument only, I have raised this issue, because criticizing Jesus means criticism of God or Krishna or Rama only. You have to analyze properly to find out the truth in such cases of human incarnations of the Lord.
