“The Legends Of The Three Saviours:
Christna:
Epoch: Uncertain. European science fears to commit itself. But the Brahmanical calculations fix it at about 6,877 years ago.
Christna descends of a royal family but is brought up by shepherds; is called the Shepherd God. His birth and divine descent are kept secret from Kansa.
An incarnation of Vishnu, the second person of the Trimurti (Trinity). Christna was worshipped at Mathura, on the river Jumna. (see Strabo and Arrian and Bampton Lectures, pp., 98-100).
Christna is persecuted by Kansa, Tyrant of Madura, but miraculously escapes. In the hope of destroying the child, the king has thousands of male innocents slaughtered.
Christna’s mother was Devaki, or De vanagui, an immaculate virgin, but had given birth to eight sons before Christna.
Christna is endowed with beauty, omniscience, and omnipotence from birth. Produces miracles, cures the lame and blind, and casts out demons. Washes the feet of the Brahmans, and descending to the lowest regions, hell, liberates the dead, and returns to Vaicontha – the paradise of Vishnu. Christna was the God Vishnu himself in human form.
Christna creates boys out of calves, and vice versa, (Maurice’s Indian Antiquities, volume 2.) He crushes the serpent’s head, (Ibid).
Christna is Unitarian. He persecutes the clergy, charges them with ambition and hypocrisy to their faces, divulges the great secrets of the Sanctuary – the Unity of God and immortality of our spirit. Tradition says he fell a victim to their vengeance. His favorite disciple, Arjuna, never deserts him to the last. There are credible traditions that he died on the cross, a tree, nailed to it by an arrow.
The best scholars agree that the Irish Cross at Tuam, erected long before the Christian era, is Asiatic.
Christna ascends to Swarga and becomes Nirguna.
Gautama-Buddha:
Epoch: According to European science and the Ceylonese calculations, 2,540 years ago.
Gautama is the son of a king. His first disciples are shepherds and mendicants.
According to some, an incarnation of Vishnu; according to others, an incarnation of one of the Buddhas, and even of Ad’Buddah, the Highest Wisdom.
Buddhist legends are free from this Plagiarism, but the Catholic legend that makes of him St. Josaphat, shows his father, king of Kapilavastu, slaying innocent young Christians (!!). (see Golden Legend)
Buddha’s mother was Maya, or Mayadeva; married to her husband, yet an immaculate virgin.
Buddha is endowed with the same powers and qualities and performs similar wonders. Passes his life with mendicants. It is claimed for Gautama that he was distinct from all other Avatars, having the entire spirit of Buddha in him, while all others had but a part (ansa), of the divinity in them.
Gautama crushes the Serpent’s head, i.e., abolishes the Naga worship as fetishism; but, like Jesus, makes the Serpent the emblem of divine wisdom.
Buddha abolishes idolatry; divulges the Mysteries of the Unity of God and the Nirvana, the true meaning of which was previously known only to the priests. Persecuted and driven out of the country, he escapes death by gathering about him some hundreds of thousands of believers in his Buddhaship. Finally, dies, surrounded by a host of disciples, with Ananda, his beloved disciple and cousin, chief among them all. O’Brien believes that the Irish Cross at Tuam is meant for Buddha’s, but Gautama was never crucified. He is represented in many temples, as sitting under a cruciform tree, which is the “Tree of Life”. In another image he is sitting on Naga the Raja of Serpents with a cross on his breast.
Buddha ascends to Nirvana.
Jesus of Nazareth:
Epoch: Supposed to be 1,877 years ago. His birth and royal descent are concealed from Herod the tyrant.
Descends of the Royal family of David. Is worshipped by shepherds at his birth and is called the “Good Shepherd”. (see Gospel According to John).
An incarnation of the Holy Ghost, then the second person of the Trinity, now the third. But the Trinity was not invented until 325 years after his birth. Went to Mathura or Matarea, Egypt, and produced his first miracles there, (See Gospel of Infancy).
Jesus is persecuted by Herod, King of Judea, but escapes into Egypt under conduct of an angel. To assure his slaughter, Herod orders a massacre of innocents, and 40,000 were slain.
Jesus’ mother was Miriam, or Miriam; married to her husband, yet an immaculate virgin, but had several children besides Jesus. (see Matthew xiii., 55-56).
Jesus is similarly endowed. Passes his life with sinners and publicans. Casts out demons likewise. The only notable difference between the three is that Jesus is charged with casting out devils by the power of Beelzebub, which the others were not. Jesus washes the feet of his disciples, dies, descends to hell, and ascends to heaven, after liberating the dead.
Jesus is said to have crushed the Serpent’s head, agreeably to original revelation in Genesis. He also transforms boys into kids, and kids into boys. (Gospel of Infancy).
Jesus rebels against the old Jewish law; denounces the Scribes, and Pharisees, and the synagogue for hypocrisy and dogmatic intolerance.
Breaks the Sabbath and defies the Law. Has accused the Jews of divulging the secrets of the Sanctuary. Is put to death on a cross, a tree. Of the little handful of disciples whom he had converted, one betrays him, one denies him, and the others desert him at the last, except John – the disciple he loved.
Jesus, Christna, and Buddha, all three Saviours, die either on or under trees, and are connected with crosses which are symbolical of the threefold powers of creation.
Jesus ascends to paradise.
Result:
About the middle of the present century, the followers of these three religions were reckoned as follows, (Max Muller’s estimate):
Of Christna – Brahmans, 60,000,000. Of Buddha – Buddhists, 450,000,000. Of Jesus – Christians, 260,000,000.
Such is the present aspect of these three great religions, of which each is in turn reflected in its successor. Had the Christian dogmatizers stopped there, the results would not have been so disastrous, for it would be hard, indeed, to make a bad creed out of the lofty teachings of Gautama, or Christna, as Bhagaved. But they went farther and added to pure primitive Christianity the fables of Hercules, Orpheus, and Bacchus. As Mussulmans will not admit that their Koran is built on the substratum of the Jewish Bible, so the Christians will not confess that they owe next to everything to the Hindu religions. But the Hindus have chronology, to prove it to them.”
