The life and death of Jesus is clearly depicted in Vedas.. Just see.. I am really surprised to note the verses in the Holy Bible flowing as an undercurrent, throughout the Indian Vedas and Upanishads, Sometimes apparent and sometimes subdued. It is due to this resemblance or affinity only, Swami Vivekananda, the saintly Indian scholar who crossed the seas, propelled by the magnanimity of the Hindu heritage, to herald Jesus Christ as the one who belongs to the Orient. The Indian traditional educational system and gurukula educational patterns together, discouraged aspirants from entering in to the other worldly religious studies. The other world religious pastures faced difficulties in Vedic Scriptures due to lack of Sanskrit education. Thus the original knowledge of eternal truth, that “all religions origin from the one and only GOD”, even if many desired to venture, remained a vanishing horizon and a masked light. When we read Bible, some passage from the very first book of Genesis itself, generate stronger wonders than we could find Jesus Christ in the Holy Scriptures of Hinduism. The same verses or the verses with the same meanings or verses being the answers to the questions, doubts and prayers in the Vedas, Upanishads and even in Bhagavath Gita - All connected verses. When we probe into the Vedas and Upanishads for their infinite meaning, with that inquisitiveness warranted in search of the truth, we might reach at an exhilarating discovery of a treasure house that is resplendent with so much of scholarly material concealed in ’ but obscured by the religious machinery, deliberately or accidentally. I am amazed by the concordance that Rigveda verses have with the Jewish-Christian faiths which were later stamped as ignoble and alien. The Vedas written in Sanskrit, between the period 2000 and 1200 B.C. are the sacred Scriptures and the final authority of their religion and philosophy to the Hindus . It is surprising to encounter the hidden Christ in the Vedas, the Purusa-prajapati (Praja means son, man or humanity as such. Pathy means saviour, owner, king, leader etc. the Son of Man and the Lord of all; even holds the meanin - the son of God) who gave Himself in sacrifice for the salvation of mankind. The very first light we get from Rigveda, the religious book of Hinduism was that, to whichever Gods-shapes we pray and offer sacrifices are not Gods. In the official religious book of Hinduism, the Rigveda, clearly mentions about only one God. He is the creator of all creations in this universe. He is the creator of all creations in this universe. He is the creator of all mankind the world over; he is the heavenly father, the only God. This only God is omnipresent; He fills this universe. There are 10 books for the Rigveda. Ten mandalams. From first to nine mandalams, in several places it is clearly said who is the real God, who is man and why should man worship the God and how should he worship him. In the tenth mandalam, besides this Lord Almighty, there is the mention about a man. The first born and only born son of the God. His name is Prajapathy ’. Prajapathy, the son of the God comes to this world at the appropriate time. After coming to this world he travels around advising mankind, what is sin and what is not sin; what is to be done and what is not to be done; what is wrong and what is right. To those human beings, which accept his advises and obey his orders, he offers prosperity and peace in this worldly life and salvation at the time of their death. And being the completion of his venture to redeem mankind from sin, He gets sacrificed at the end of His specified period on earth. The Hindu Scholars refer to Rigveda, verses “ as to the concept of Prajapathy. Praja means man. Pathy means saviour. There will be a man coming from God being the saviour of mankind; he has not yet come; we are still expecting him. The Prajapati Sacrifice portrayed in the Vedas is literally fulfilled in the real Prajapati Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, such as sinlessness, the separation, the rejection, the silent suffering, trying to the sacrificial pillar, the shed blood, unbroken bones and ressurection after 3 days. In the Vedas, the birth of our lord and savior Jesus Christ, and the good news of the gospel are revealed in the upanisads. When the ancients wrote about the sacrifices for attaining Moksa (eternal life) and the sacrifice of Prajapati (Lord of All), they were quite unknowingly portraying Pursa (Jesus Christ and His crucifixion) as the way of salvation. CAME DOWN TO THE PLANET EARTH A famous verse from the Kathopanisad describes the manifestation of god in a beautiful and powerful image. The Purusa-Prajapati from the Rig Vedic Purusasukta we can easily see the significance of the above verses in relation to the Aswattha tree or Vanaspathi. The tree came down to earth to give mankind eternal shelter through its sacrifice. (John 13:19) - The expresion, I am He is very significant . He was saying that they would understand and believe that Jesus was the Man (the Purusa) about whom the sacred books have spoken. He was the man of sorrows who was despised and rejected by men- (the stone rejected by all became the corner stone) THE CROWN OF THORNS We read about the ceremony of this separation in the thirteenth kandha of the Sathapathabrahmana. Somethimes they set apart the sacrificial animal by a crown made out of a creeping plant of the forest. This seperated animal deserves no sympathy. It cannot be used for any other purpose. Once it is separated, it is separated for ever for the offering. This feature is also fulfilled in Jesus sacrifice. Jesus was completely separated for the eternal sacrifice. St. John clearly recorded this incident (John 19:2,5) THE REJECTION Without this rejection, the third characteristic of the Prajapati-sacrifice, the sacrifice would not have been preformed. First of all, this rejection happened in heaven in the Mans Sacrifice. In the Purusasukta when the devas sacrificed the Purusa, God the father was silent. We can find this feature in the animal sacrifice which is the second stage of the sacrifice. The sacrificial animal should be rejected by its father, mother, brother, sister and friends. The animal has to be completely abandoned and seperated for the sacrifice. This exactly gets fulfilled in Jesus. St. John wrote about this- He came unto His own, and His own received Him not (John 1:11) In this rejection we see one of the important aspects of the Prajapati-Sacrifice as well as its fulfillment. THE SILENT SUFFERER Here, we see that Purusa-Prajapati silently gives himself in this great offering. The words of the Rig Veda describe so well the attitude of the Man: like a horse I have yoked myself-well knowing to the pole. I seek neither release nor turning back. In the Vedas, the person who kills the sacrificial animal is called samitara which means silencer. His job is to make the animal calm. In order to make him calm he asks the animal to be quiet. We have references in the Taittiriya Samhita and in the Apastamba srutasutram. However, it is an important characteristic encountered in the Prajapati-Sacrifice. This is fulfilled in Jesus in its strictest sense. About 700 BC, (700 years before the Lord Jesus Christ), the Prophet isaiah predicted it. BINDING TO THE CROSS In the sacrifice of the Man in the Purusasukta we see the Purusa is also tied to the sacrificial post. Deva Yadyajnam tanvana abadnan purusam pasum (The davas who performed this sacrifice tied Purusa, the sacrificial animal.) yajnam yajnasadhanabhtan tan Purusam pasutvabhavanaya yupe baddham Here the Purusa is pictured as the victim of sacrifice who is tied to the sacrificial post like an animal. In the Rig Veda, He yoked Himself to the pole like a horse. He sought neither release nor turning back. The cross was the sacrificial post of Jesus Christ. Tham yajnam barhishi proukshan Purusham jaathamagratha Thena deva ayajantha Sadhya rushayaschaye (Rigveda X:90:7) whom does this Rigvedic verse refer to ? In verse 7 chapter 90 of the 10th book of the Rigveda, the sacrifice of Prajapathy the leader of human beings, is well explained. At the time of sacrifice, the son of God will be tightly tied to a wooden sacrificial post using iron nails by hands and legs, he will bleed to death and on the third day he will regain his life in a resurrection. Who is this Prajapathy - the Son of God? As per Hindu mythology, there are 10 incarnations of God. Ten times God comes to this world. Matsya, Koorma, Varahascha Narasimhascha Vamana, Ramo Ramascha Ramascha, Krishna, Kalki. These are ten incarnations. The reference about Prajapathy, the son of God, will not be about one among those incarnations. Because each incarnation has got its own attributes. None of these attributes suit those attributes of Prajapathy as given in the Rigveda and as given in Sathapadha Brahmana, a supplement to Yajurveda. PRAJAPATHY, the male image, and the pivotal figure in the tenth volume of Rigveda is the central point of this concordance. The birth and public life of Jesus Christ of the holy Bible maintain an intimate similarity with this worshipful male. In the first hymn of the 121st aphorism in the tenth volume of Rigveda, the narration about the birth of this male is given like this:- Hiranyagarbha: samavarthathaagre Bhuuthasya jaatha: pathireka aaseeth Sadaadhaara prudhwivim dyaamuthemam Kasmai devaaya havisha vidhemam. Prajapathy ’ alias Kan; Hiranya garbha, the first born, was born to the Holy Spirit (Paramatma) before Genesis. Upon birth, He became one and only God to the universe comprising the Skies, Stars, Earth and the Seas. He rules the endless firmament and the whole of the earth. We please this deity, Prajapathy, who is called ‘Kan; affectionately, with offerings in sacrifices (Rigveda X: 121,1) In the Holy Bible, in the three Gospels of Mathew, Luke and John, the Words of God keep a crystal clear resemblance with the Vedic experts, cited above directly and otherwise. A good possibility for a doubt at this context cannot be ruled out:- How can Prajapathy, who was born before Genesis be Jesus Christ who lived just two thousand years ago? John enlightens us here in chapter 8 verse 58. Jesus said: Very truly I tell you, before Abraham was, I am. 1: 15-17 of Colossians ratifies this. He is the first born of all creations, the image of the invisible God Almighty. Because every thing visible and invisible in Heaven and on earth is created in Him. He is there before everything and everything is founded in Him; Thasmaad virraada jaayatha viraajo adhi purusha: Sjaatho athyarichyatha Paschaad bhoomimadhopura. From that male the universe came into being. From that body of the universe came the omnipresent male. That male thus became manifest, adopted various forms and character and created the earth and other planets along with the creatures to live in them. (Rigveda X:90:5) In 1:3 John says, through him God made all things; not one thing in all creation was made without him. The similarity in essence between these mutually supporting statements is amazing. Rigveda again says about this male, the creator and sustainer. Purusha evedam sarvam Yadbhutham yachabhavyam Uthaamruthathwasya eesaana Yadaannenathirohathi ” It is definitely this very same male who exists now, who has gone by and who is expected to come. Not only that, it is this same male who controls the state of eternity (immortality). It is for the redemption of mankind, he surpasses his immortal sphere and descends to the mortal sphere. He comes to give everyone recompense as per his deeds. (Rigveda X: 90:2) In the book of Revelation, in the Holy Bible, St.John says, verse 8 chapter 1.The Lord God, who is, who was and who is to come. In John’s Gospel 8th chapter 51st verse Jesus says: I am telling you the truth. Whoever obeys my teaching will never die. Again in the book of Revelation, 22:12 Jesus says: I will bring my rewards with me, to give to each one according to what he has done. All the assignments entrusted to the idol male is fulfilled in Jesus Christ perfectly. Maintaining resemblance word by word, these statements do not merely coincide in content, but it reveals a singular purpose or meaning. We should remember that this unique oneness or singularity is seen in Purushasookta; which the venerated vedavyasa had applauded as the aphorism of aphorisms. In this very same Purushasookta; there is a mention of a divine sacrifice for the deliverance and salvation of human race too. Thaam yajnam barhishi proukshan Purusham jaathamagratha Thena deva ayajantha Saadhya rushayaschaye; Devas of heaven and the ruling fraternity along with the hermits offered the first born male in sacrifice by consecrating him as the animal of offering by tying him on a wooden sacrificial post. (Rigveda X: 90:7) We read in all the four Gospels in the Holy Bible - Jesus was consigned to a wooden cross by Pilate, he representative of the Roman Emperor, Herodes, the Jew king (Ruler), and two priests named Annas and Caiaphas and their henchmen. The crucification of Christ should not be seen as a punishment for a mere revolutionary for treason. And it is a sacrifice for the redemption of humanity as a whole; it is the fulfillment of prophecies of the old testaments. If the blood of Christ shed on the cross is the cleansing factor for the believer of Christianity, here Rigveda comes again. thamevam vidwaanamrutha iha bhavathy Naanya pandha ayanaaya vidyathe. Those who worship (chanting with the lips, believing in the heart) him gets liberated in this world itself and there is no other way besides this for salvation.(Rigveda X: 90:16) St. Paul, the apostle of Christ says in Romans 10:9; Because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved; Here again the erstwhile controversy disillusions the seeker of truth. The Veda proclaims that all the creations in the universe takes place through the offering of this male incarnation, the sacrifice of Prajaathy. Then how can the crucification of Jesus Christ which took place only two thousand years ago be the Holy sacrifice of the male incarnation masterminded by the Devas, Rulers and the Saints for the redemption, salvation and sustenance of all creations before Genesis? According to the Old Testament, Christ is the promise of the compassionate God (Yahweh) for the redemption and deliverance of man. (In Greek language; Christ; and in Hebrews Messiah means – one who is sent, one who is anointed). In the New Testament Jesus of Nazareth is the fulfillment of this promise. According to Rigveda, God had visualized the mode of salvation for the man before creating him. And the incarnation of Prajapathy and his subsequent sacrifices are the promises God had given man as his means of salvation. It was also said that He would come to earth as a mortal to experience the worldly affairs. Hence there is nothing wrong to assume that Prajapathy is nobody else but Jesus Christ of Nazareth himself.
