Is Jesus Christ the real Prajapati mentioned in Hindu Vedas?

Based on the OPEN source and non-copyrighted article   “Sacrifice ” by the Late Adhyaksha Anubhavananda Kesava Raya Sarma Mandapak which was later translated from the Telegu by H. Kaveribhai “ Asato ma sat gamaya  (From Illusion lead me to the Truth);  Tamaso ma jyotir gamaya  (From darkness lead me to Light);  Mrityur ma amritam gamaya  (From death lead me to Immortality)” –  Bryhad Aranyak Upanishad 1.3.28 ) Hindus have recited this  familiar prayer  for centuries, and it expresses the universal hunger for escape from spiritual emptiness, spiritual uncertainty, and spiritual death. It was written by the sages who recognized that spiritual Truth eluded them; that they were imprisoned by spiritual darkness; and that they needed eternal life. The sages recited this prayer continually, even as they developed many philosophies, rituals, and divine personalities that they hoped would provide the answer to this prayer. While the sages knew of some fundamental attributes of the person who wo

Who is God? How can we describe Him, His nature and His purpose?

The Bible is comprised of two parts (a) Old Testament -OT (which is the Jewish Torah and their prophetic and other writings. There are 39 books in OT), New Testament-NT (which begins with the birth, life, death, resurrection of Christ and the spread of Christianity as told by his key disciples. This has 27 books).

He was considered Most Holy.   This was his prime and key characteristic that is communicated all through the Bible. With the introduction of English language, for easy

For over 1000's of years God has spoken to his prophets and to his children. However, many times man has failed to hear and obey God. Interestingly, the voice of God becomes very clear to people when they have had some major life challenge, like the pandemic today. Some say there is no God while some Christians say that God has stopped speaking now. Here is a true testimony about how God spoke to me so clearly between the years 2000-2002, when I went through one of the most traumatizing years of my life, which changed the course of my life from serving myself to serving God. God has continued to speak to me in many different ways over the years. This testimony is just one of the many examples which has helped me know there is a God who cares & loves everyone.   Jesus is alive and what he has done for me, he can do for you. I know some of my friends are going through similar or worst trials. Hence, I want to encourage you to focus on Jesus, allow the manifestation of the Holy Sp
