Age of Religions
| Sanatan Dharma | Millions of years To be exact, Sanatan Dharma has existed for 155.522 trillion years in the current cycle alone. The Words ‘Sanatan Dharma’ means the eternal religion. |
| Christianity | 2000 years |
| Islam | 1400 years |
Who founded the Religion?
| Sanatan Dharma | Sanatan Dharma is neither a man made nor a one-man religion. God created the rules (religion) for mankind to follow at the beginning of creation, millions of years ago and not just recently. That religion is called Sanatan Dharma or Vedic religion or pure Hinduism. Sanatan Dharma is based on unlimited prophets and God incarnations who appear whenever there is a decline in religious principles. “Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion — at that time I descend Myself.” (Lord Krishna, Bg. 4.7) God is unlimited and great and so he can send unlimited prophets and not just one. One of the most recent prophets of God is his Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. By Vedic standards. A prophet of God must be a saintly person (a Sadhu). Which means he must be loving, caring, merciful, and not be lusty or engaged in any form of violence. “The symptoms of a sadhu are that he is tolerant, merciful and friendly to all living entities. He has no enemies, he is peaceful, he abides by the scriptures, and all his characteristics are sublime.” (Srimad Bhagavatam 3.25) "A sober person who can tolerate the urge to speak, the mind's demands, the actions of anger and the urges of the tongue, belly and genitals is qualified to make disciples all over the world." (Nectar of Instruction 1) The Prophet has to be an Acharya, which means he must set an example with his actions in life for others to follow. |
| Christianity | Christianity is a one-man religion. Jesus Christ being the founder. Jesus declared himself as the son of God and not God. Jesus was free from sex and violence and he preached peace and non-violence. But he never said who God was. The result of this is that his followers worship and serve him as God and neglect the real God. |
| Islam | Islam is a one-man made religion. Muhammad being the founder and he declared himself as the last prophet of God. It is very important to understand the actions of Muhammad to understand the Muslim mentality. Muhammad was married, marrying more than 20 times after the age of 50 to young girls and he was involved in wars. His marriages included marrying the 6 year old Aisha (his brother’s daughter) when he was 51. Women taken captive in war, including the 17 year old, Safiyyah, when he was 54 and the 20 year old Juwairiya, when he was 58. He even married his son’s wife. “That the Prophet married her when she was six years old and he consummated his marriage when she was nine years old, and then she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death).” (Sahih Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 62, Number 64) The above means Muhammad was 54 and she was only 9 when he started having sex with her. “Muhammad selected Safiyyah because of her beauty, made her his wife and gave a banquet at the wedding; then he had sex with Saffiyah at Sa`d-AsSahba..” (Sahih Bukhari 4.52.143) Safiyyah was a married woman who's husband was killed by Muhammad's men and he took her captive and forced her to marry him. For the winning side to take the wives of enemies killed in war is considered righteous by Islamic standards. “O Prophet! We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have given their dowers; and those ladies whom your right hands possess (from the prisoners of war) whom Allah has assigned to you..” (Koran 33:50) |

Father and Son
What is the Link between Jesus and Krishna?
Jesus was one of the good son’s of Lord Krishna.
Who is the father of Jesus who is living in him from whom his words came?
"The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work." ( John 14.10)
"I am seated in everyone's heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness. By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedanta, and I am the knower of the Vedas." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 15.15)
Who is the God in the heart?
"And they tempted God in their heart.." (Psalm 78.18)
"I am the Super soul, seated in the hearts of all living entities. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.20)
Jesus declared himself as the son of God. So who is his father, God?
“It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 14.4)
Jesus is the only way?
How many of these so-called followers of Jesus, actually follow his instructions?
These Christians who claim to follow Jesus, actually completely ignore the real teachings of Jesus
By following the Vedic scriptures, one completely follows the teachings of Jesus:
"I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being-moving or nonmoving-that can exist without Me." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.39)
"One who is not envious but is a kind friend to all living entities.." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 12.13-14)
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, fruit or water, I will accept it." (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.26)
“Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be. (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.11)
“I am the Super soul, seated in the hearts of all living entities.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.20)
“All species of living beings in this material creation appear by taking birth, and I am the seed giving father.” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 14.4)
These Christians who claim to follow Jesus, actually completely ignore the real teachings of Jesus.
By following the Vedic scriptures, one completely follows the teachings of Jesus:
Humans have existed for millions of years and Jesus has been known for only 2000 years. Also it’s impossible for Jesus to be known beyond this Planet. There are millions of other Planets with living beings. His teachings are the only way but not him personally. There are many Vedic Gurus who preach the same message. Since Jesus is not around today, one needs to approach a Guru who is around today and learn from him. These are the Vedic Gurus, because only they preach the same message as taught by Jesus but with more detailed information. Jesus clearly stated that there were many things he wanted to tell his audience but he couldn't because they were not qualified and thus would not understand. There many other teachings can be learnt from a Vedic Guru, but again only the qualified will be taught and only they most piuos and sincere humans will understand and not anyone. For most humans, God will remain unknown and invisible, because God is not so cheap.
One should follow the main teachings of Jesus, which is to love God with your heart and they shall not kill (vegetarianism). Only the Vedic scriptures say who the person God is and thus one has to love Lord Krishna to truly follow Jesus.
Jesus is a Savior?
Jesus was a man of peace and non-violence and so he should be respected and humans can become better humans by following the instructions of Jesus which is to ‘Love thy neighbor’, ‘Thy shall not kill’, and ‘Love God with all your heart’. But to think that he was God so the real God can be neglected or anything like that, is very foolish.
Jesus's teachings if followed will save one from committing sins and thus reactions to sinful actions (suffering).
Physically Jesus did not save anyone and nor could he save himself, he was crucified. Only God can physically save one from misery in this life and the after.
If you read the Vedic scriptures then you will know of a person who actually saved his followers in this life. That person is Lord Krishna. One example of who he saved are the 5 Pandava brothers. They were attacked so many times by their cousin brothers who were headed by Duryodhan. But they could not be killed. Even in the Mahabharat war, although millions of soldiers were killed. The 5 Pandavs could not be killed. This is because Lord Krishna was always protecting them. Thus only Lord Krishna can be called a savior. Also, Lord Krishna himself was attacked so many times, but still he could not be killed. Lord Krishna has appeared so many times in the past and in each incarnation, so many demons try to kill him. But he has never been defeated.
Only Lord Krishna can Save You
Man can be tormented, harassed, and crucified, but god cannot be. Lord Krishna proved that he was the supreme controller (he was always in control) and all-powerful. Many attempts were made on his life, but he very easily defeated all those who tried to kill him. People were being tormented and harassed by evil Kings and rulers, but Lord Krishna put a stop to that by killing them all. People were saved in their very own lifetime.
During the time of Jesus, people were also being tormented and harassed by evil Kings and rulers (mainly the Romans) but he could not stop them. In fact, Jesus himself was being tormented and harassed by the Romans and was eventually crucified.
One should follow the main teachings of Jesus which is to love God, love the neighbors, and thy shall not kill (no killing of humans or animals). Instead of making him into a God and neglecting his teachings and neglecting the real God.
Krishna Consciousness is the only way
Millions of years before Jesus, a person called Krishna appeared and he declared himself as the absolute truth.
“There is no truth superior to me.” (Lord Krishna, Bg. 7.7)
“The whole cosmic order is under me. By my will it is manifested again and again, and by my will it is annihilated at the end” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.8)
“Furthermore, O Arjuna, I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being, moving or unmoving, that can exist without me” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.39)
“I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts”(Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.8)
“Of all that is material and all that is spiritual in this world, know for certain that I am both the origin and the dissolution” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.6)
Every living being thinks his life and way is the best, this is the illusionary energy of Lord Krishna, called Maya. The hogs think that their life is best, the Christians think they are the best, the Muslims think their life is best and so on.
The scientists estimate the age of the Universe to be at least 15 Billion years. So why did it take God 15 Billion years (2000 years ago) to create his religion and appear?
The truth is that God already created his religion at the beginning of creation, billions of years ago, and not just 2000 years ago. That religion which was created by God and has eternally existed is the Vedic religion. And the person who has eternally been known to man, to be God, is Lord Krishna. The position for God and religion was filled billions of years ago by Lord Krishna and Hinduism.
Jesus Died for the Sins of Man?
The Christians seem to think that Jesus was a fool as he lets his followers live in sin so he can live in pain.
When a Christian murderer goes to court, can he say to the Judge, hang Jesus, he will pay for my sins?
In Hinduism, we believe in giving love to a Guru and love to God, not pain. This is real religion, to give love to Guru and God, not our sins. The Vedic scriptures teach that the purpose of life is to live without sin and give love to the Guru and God.
Jesus was the only son of God?
Even the pigs have many children, so why should the almighty God only have one Son?
God is unlimited, he has created millions of Universes. So when it comes to creating sons, he can only create one son?
The Bhagavad-Gita states that God is the father of all living beings. Thus based on the Bhagavad-Gita, even a pig can say “I am the son of God”.
Jesus Performed Miracles
The Christians seems to think that because Jesus walked on water and multiplied food. That makes him God. This is foolish mentality. The Vedic scriptures are full of details on millions of humans who performed miracles. Here the details on some of these great Vedic sages:
There is a species of living beings called Brahmas. There are millions of Brahmas, and each Brahma can walk on air and multiply a whole Universe with food. Jesus only multiplied a bucket or two of food. The Brahma can create a whole Universe with food. The Brahma is not God, but a demigod. Demigods are powerful living beings who are above the humans. The life span of Brahma is 311 trillion years.
There is a species of living beings called Sidhi Yogis. There are millions of Sidhi yogis and each of them can travel from one Planet to another without any machine. There are millions yogis who can walk on water or air. There are millions of yogis who can create a whole Planet. There are millions of yogis who can bring back the dead. There are millions of yogis who can live without food or air for years. There are millions of yogis who can make them selves lighter than a cotton swab.
Narade Muni is a yogi who spends his life traveling from one Universe to another and his life span is trillions of years.
Lord Shiva is a demigod who swallowed an Ocean full of poison and he can turn an old person into young and he can make a woman into a man and vice versa. He can also destroy this whole Universe just by opening his third eye.
You think Boeing is great for creating the 747 planes? There are yogis who can make a whole City into an aero plane.
The master of all mystic yogis is called Yogeshwar, Lord Krishna. He performed miracles like lifting a mountain, multiplying his body into 16,108 forms, showing the Universe in his mouth, transformed himself into others, protected his followers in this life, put out a forest fire by swallowing it and so on. Lord Krishna in his Maha Vishnu form has millions of Universes coming out of the pores on his body with every exhalation. And when he exhales or inhales once, 311 trillion years pass on Earth. Lord Krishna can make himself small enough to enter the atom and so on.
Jesus went to India?
The reason why Jesus had some yogic powers like millions of yogis in India is that he went to India during the so-called, lost years. And he got the knowledge to perform mystic Yoga (miracles) from Vedic yogis. The fact that outside India, Jesus is the only person who performed miracles that millions of Vedic sages can perform, is simple proof that Jesus went to India. Jesus got his spiritual and mystic yogic (miracles) knowledge from Vedic sages.
Jesus Was God?
Absolutely not. This is one of the most ridiculous statement that Christians make.
God is the controller and creator of millions of Universes. So does it make any sense for God to appear on this tiny insignificant planet called Earth. Millions of years after creating it so that he can be tormented, harassed, and crucified?
Jesus said “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone” (Mark 10.8)
“My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me” (John 7:16)
Jesus said “I go unto my father: for my father is greater than I” (John 14.28)
“I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself” (John 5.19)
Jesus said “Father forgive them, they know not what they are doing”
“I and my Father are one” (John 10.30) – The Christians use this statement to justify that Jesus is God, but this actually proves that Jesus is not God.
The definition of God is that one who is the greatest, one who has know one equal to him, one who has know one above him. Such a person is called God. If Jesus and his father are equal then neither of them can be God.
The Bhagavad-Gita states that everything is a part and parcel of God, thus even a dog can say ‘I and my father are one’. We are all parts of God according to the Bhagavad-Gita. The Bhagavad-Gita is the word of God in person and it’s the oldest scripture known to man.
What is God According to Christianity?
It is a fact that Jesus was not God, even Jesus himself proved that he was not God. So who exactly is God?
The Christian scriptures do not answer this very basic and most important question. Even Jesus, who declared himself as the only son of God, did not actually say who his father was. Thus he did not answer the question ‘What is God?’
What is God’s name, his address, what does he look like, his history, exactly when and where will he appear next on this Planet, how he creates and maintains and so on. These are the questions, which one should ask. You will only find the answers to these questions in the Vedic scriptures and not in any other scriptures.
Thy shall love your Neighbor
Just as a father loves all his children, in a similar way, the supreme father (Lord Krishna), loves all his children including the animals. Jesus taught that we should love our neighbors, the Bhagavad-Gita also teaches that we should love our neighbors, but the neighbors also include the animals. Thus we should not eat our neighbors, the animals.
The Bible teaches that animals are just food. But when you realize that all living beings are the children of God, then how can you kill and eat your brothers (the animals)?
If one accepts that God is the father of all living beings and he is loving and caring, then why would he order the killing of the most innocent of all his children, the animals?
The Caitanya-Caritamrta states that the Abhramic scriptures are the scriptures of the Yavanas (meat eaters). They are not eternal like the Vedic scriptures. Their compilers not knowing the essence of knowledge, gave orders that were against reason and argument.
Did Lord Krishna declare himself as God?
Absolutely yes, without any doubt.

“I enter into each planet, and by energy they stay in orbit” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 15.13)
“This material nature, which is one of my energies is working under my direction” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.10)

“I am the supersoul, O Arjuna, seated in the hearts of all living entities, I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 10.20)
Omnipotent: Lord Krishna is omnipotent, meaning he is the greatest.
“There is no truth beyond Me. Everything rests upon Me, as pearls are strung on a thread” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.7)

“O Arjuna, I know everything that has happened in the past, all that is happening in the present, and all things that are yet to come. I also know all living entities” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 7.26)
“Many, many births both you and I have passed. I can remember all of them, but you cannot!” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 4.5)
There is Only One God:
“Those who are devotees of other gods and who worship them with faith actually worship only me, O son of Kunti, but they do so in a wrong way. I am the only enjoyer and master of all sacrifices. Therefore, those who do not recognize my true transcendental nature fall down” (Lord Krishna, Bhagavad-Gita 9.24)
“Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear.” (Bhagavad-Gita 18.66)
Description of God: What does God look like?
Did Lord Krishna Prove his Divinity?
Absolutely yes, without any doubt.
Anyone can claim to be God, but who can actually prove it?
Lord Krishna performed miracles that only God can perform.
Lord Krishna can make himself so small that he can enter the atom.
The Eternal Religion is for those who want to:
Sanatan Dharma – The Religion Established by God in each Cycle in every Universe
God is eternal, meaning he has always existed.
The laws created by God for man to follow (religion) must be eternal.
God’s teachings (scriptures) must have eternally existed.
If God has eternally existed then Man must have known him eternally.
That eternal religion which was created by the eternal God is called Sanatan Dharma (the eternal religion). Which is also known as the Vedic religion or Hinduism. The eternal teachings of God or scriptures are known as the Vedic scriptures.
That person who has eternally been known by man to be God is Lord Krishna.
The Vedic religion has been proven to be the oldest in the world and the oldest scriptures on the Planet are the Vedic scriptures. Which are written in the oldest language known to man, Sanskrit. The most systematic language in the world.
Don’t follow a cheap God or one that was recently created by man. Don’t follow an invisible God because the real God is a visible person who has been seen and proven.
The scientists estimate the age of the Universe to be at least 15 Billion years. So why did it take God 15 Billion years to create his religion and send just one Prophet?
The truth is that God already created his religion at the beginning of creation and not just a few thousand years ago and that religion is the Vedic religion.
The Simple Way to Determine the Truth
The truth is that which has always existed.
2+2=4 is true today, it was true 5000 years ago, it was true 5 trillion years ago, and it will be true in 5 trillion years time. Thus that which is existing today but did not exist 5000 years ago cannot be the truth. Sanatan Dharma is existing today, it existed 5000 years ago, it existed 5 trillion years ago and it will exist in 5 trillion years time. Sanatan Dharma is the truth.
