Please speak about Jesus Christ.
What makes him unique among spiritual Masters?
What can we learn from him?
It is one of the most difficult questions you ask me.
Do you know,
being born in India for most of the Indians,
whether it is Jesus Christ or Muhammad, it is not a problem.
You’ll ask, “Why?”
Because they have a picture of Krishna, they have a picture of Rama
and to hang a picture of Jesus there is no problem.
It might be problem for others.
So from Childhood, as I remember, I was...
It must be ‘67.
How old was I? You can think, 7 or 8 years old.
The christian missionaries going from door to door in my village.
So the organization was ‘India Every Home Crusade’.
And distributing free literature in Oriya language.
So that was my introduction to Jesus Christ.
I loved Him.
I love Jesus and do you know that in my schoolbook,
in our schoolbook also there was text from Bible, ‘The Parable of Good Samaritan’.
It was in my schoolbook.
So my love for Jesus got more and more increased because of Gurudev.
Because of Gurudev.
He often quoted from Bible, even in India.
And he told me to read the bible.
So, to me as I love Krishna so also Jesus.
And we are celebrating Paramhamsa Yoganandaji’s 125th birth anniversary.
He kept one side Krishna one side Christ.
So when you think of Jesus, you just think he lived only for three years.
You tell “What does it mean?”
His period of ministry, teaching.
Three years teaching, and not teaching so called... just like we think we are intelligent, intellectual;
very ordinary people, fishermen, tax collector, like these very ordinary people,
and tax collector means corrupt,
so this type of people.
And how much impact he had on these people
and who we are also... most of them were also persecuted, most of them.
And messages of teaching of Christ went from home to home, home to home, home to home...
Teachings of Jesus is beautiful, and what can you love from Him?
The message of Jesus is message of love, the message of Jesus is message of peace.
