Jesus Christ and Muhammad in Srimad Bhagavatam

Jesus Christ As a devotee:

In case of benefit, no one will deny that it is God-sent, but in case of loss or reverses one becomes doubtful about how the Lord could be so unkind to His devotee as to put him into great difficulty. Jesus Christ was seemingly put into such great difficulty, being crucified by the ignorant, but he was never angry at the mischief-mongers. That is the way a devotee accepts a thing, either favorable or unfavorable, and thus for a devotee, the identifier is as much a sinner as the mischief-monger. The devotee tolerates all reverses as God’s grace. (SB 1.17.22)

Lord Jesus Christ was crucified by the nonbelievers. But such difficulties are very gladly suffered by the devotees in preaching because in such activities, although apparently very severe, the devotees of the Lord feel transcendental pleasure because the Lord is satisfied. (SB 2.8.6)

When something is arranged by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one should not be disturbed by it, even if it appears to be a reverse according to one’s calculations. For example, sometimes we see that a powerful preacher is killed, or sometimes he is put into difficulty, just as Haridäsa Öhäkura was. He was a great devotee who came into this material world to execute the will of the Lord by preaching the Lord’s glories. But Haridäsa was punished at the hands of the Kazi by being beaten in twenty-two marketplaces. Similarly, Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, and Prahläda Mahäräja was put through so many tribulations. (SB 3.16.37)

A devotee travels all over the country, from door to door, preaching, “Be Kåñëa conscious. Be a devotee of Lord Kåñëa. Don’t spoil your life simply fulfilling your animal propensities. Human life is meant for self-realization or Kåñëa consciousness.” These are the preachings of a sädhu. He is not satisfied with his own liberation. He always thinks about others. He is the most compassionate personality towards all the fallen souls. One of his qualifications, therefore, is käruëika, great mercy to the fallen souls. While engaged in preaching work, he has to meet with so many opposing elements, and therefore the sädhu, or devotee of the Lord, has to be very tolerant. Someone may ill-treat him because the conditioned souls are not prepared to receive the transcendental knowledge of devotional service. They do not like it; that is their disease. The sädhu has the thankless task of impressing upon them the importance of devotional service. Sometimes devotees are personally attacked with violence. Lord Jesus Christ was crucified, Haridäsa Öhäkura was caned in twenty-two marketplaces, and Lord Caitanya’s principal assistant, Nityänanda, was violently attacked by Jagäi and Mädhäi. But still, they were tolerant because their mission was to deliver the fallen souls. (SB 3.25.21)

A Vaiñëava should follow the examples of such Vaiñëavas as Haridäsa Öhäkura, Nityänanda Prabhu, and also Lord Jesus Christ. (SB 4.6.47)

A devotee or saintly person should not be dreadful to others, nor should anyone be a source of dread to him. If one treats others with non-enmity, then no one will become his enemy. There is the example, however, of Jesus Christ, who had enemies, and they crucified him. The demonic is always present, and they find fault even in saintly persons. But a saintly person never becomes angry, even if there is a very great provocation. (SB 4.11.32)

For example, when Nityänanda Prabhu went to preach Kåñëa consciousness to the two roguish brothers Jagäi and Mädhäi, they injured Him and made His head bleed, but nevertheless He tolerantly delivered the two rogues, who became perfect Vaiñëavas. This is the duty of a preacher. Lord Jesus Christ even tolerated crucifixion. Therefore the curse against Närada was not very astonishing, and he tolerated it. (SB 6.5.44)

Jesus Christ as great Yogi: 

When great yogés are in samädhi, even when their bodies are buried and their skin, marrow, blood, and so on have all been eaten, if only their bones remain they can exist in a transcendental position. Very recently an archaeologist published findings indicating that Lord Christ, after being buried, was exhumed and that he then went to Kashmir. (SB 7.3.18)

Jesus as Merciful (opposed to animal killing):

Animal sacrifice in the name of religion is current practically all over the world in every established religion. It is said that Lord Jesus Christ, when twelve years old, was shocked to see the Jews sacrificing birds and animals in the synagogues and that he, therefore, rejected the Jewish system of religion and started the religious system of Christianity, adhering to the Old Testament commandment “Thou shalt not kill.” At the present day, however, not only are animals killed in the name of sacrifice, but the killing of animals has increased enormously because of the increasing number of slaughterhouses. Slaughtering animals, either for religion or for food, is most abominable and is condemned herein. Unless one is merciless, one cannot sacrifice animals, either in the name of religion or for food. (SB 7.15.10)

Lord Jesus Christ was crucified. Haridäsa Öhäkura was caned in twenty-two marketplaces, and Lord Caitanya’s principal assistant, Nityänanda, was violently attacked by Jagäi and Mädhäi. But still, they were tolerant because their mission was to deliver the fallen souls. One of the qualifications of a sädhu is that he is very tolerant and is merciful to all fallen souls. He is merciful because he is a well-wisher of all living entities. He is not only a well-wisher of human society but a well-wisher of animal society as well. It is said here, sarva-dehinäm, which indicates all living entities who have accepted material bodies. (SB 11.2.5)

Jesus Christ and Mohammad as Acaryas:

It is said here that it is incumbent upon the human beings to hear because the scriptures like Bhagavad-gétä and Çrémad-Bhägavatam are made for that purpose. Living beings other than human beings have no ability to hear such Vedic literature. If human society gives itself to the process of hearing the Vedic literature, it will not become a victim to the impious sounds vibrated by impious men who degrade the standards of the total society. Hearing is solidified by the process of chanting. One who has perfectly heard from the perfect source becomes convinced about the all-pervading Personality of Godhead and thus becomes enthusiastic in glorifying the Lord. All the great äcäryas, like Rämänuja, Madhva, Caitanya, Sarasvaté Öhäkura or even, in other countries, Muhammad, Christ, and others, have all extensively glorified the Lord by chanting always and in every place. Because the Lord is all-pervading, it is essential to glorify Him always and everywhere. (SB 2.2.36)

Even those who are constantly engaged in sinful acts are all corrigible to the standard of perfect human beings if they take shelter of the devotees of the Lord. Jesus Christ and Muhammad, two powerful devotees of the Lord, have done tremendous service on behalf of the Lord on the surface of the globe. (SB 2.4.18)

In the Western countries, Christians believe that Lord Jesus Christ, their spiritual master, appeared in order to eradicate all the sins of his disciples. To this end, Lord Jesus Christ appeared and disappeared. Here, however, we find Çré Väsudeva Datta Öhäkura and Çréla Haridäsa Öhäkura to be many millions of times more advanced than even Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ relieved only his followers from all sinful reactions, but Väsudeva Datta is here prepared to accept the sins of everyone in the universe. So the comparative position of Väsudeva Datta is millions of times better than that of Lord Jesus Christ. (CC Madhya 15.163)

THE BIBLICAL STORY OF ADAM & EVE FOUND IN BHAVISYA PURANA 3000 BC

“The Personality of Kali-Yuga “The Lord of Sinful Activities and Quarrel”, is known in the Bible as Satan or Lucifer.

Adama (the Biblical Adam) was a self-controlled sage who constantly meditated upon his spirit self. He lived with Havyavati (Eve) in Pradan (Eden), a God-given forest area 4 krosas square.

Havyavati (Eve) was deluded by Kali in the form of a serpent to feed her husband the ramyaphala fruit. In this way, Kali took control of the whole world.

Adama and Havyavati had been instructed by the Lord to never eat of the ramyaphala, a kind of fruit that stimulated the senses with pleasurable feelings. But Kali took the form of a serpent and persuaded the two to eat it.

This act caused their fall down from austerity. They took to the path of the world and all of its so-called needs. Desiring to wear nice clothing, they covered themselves with udumbuh leaves. In due course, they begot sons who in turn were the progenitors of mlecchas.

In the Bible, Adam and Eve are said to be the first man and woman from whom the human race sprang up. The Biblical account of the origin of human beings occurs twice, in Genesis 1:26-27 and Genesis 2:18-24. In a purport to Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta, Srila Prabhupada states that there are three scriptures given to the mlecchas: the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Koran. Thus in these scriptures, the creation of mankind means the creation of mlecchas.

Bhavisya Purana lists some of Adam’s descendants. There is a remarkable similarity between the names of this list and the names of Adam’s descendants found in the Bible:

Swet . Seth.

Anuh . Enoch/Enosh

Kinash . Kenan

Mahallal . Mahallalel, also known as Managara.

Varada . Jered or Riyad, who established a town named after him, Riyadh in Saudi Arabia.

Hanuk . Enoch

Matocchil . Methuselah

Lomak . Lamech

Nyuha . Noah of the flood, who became the second father of all humanity as told in the Bible, Genesis 6-9.”
