The Bible In India - Hindu Origin of Hebrew And Christian Revelation

This legendary interpretation compares the life of Christna' (Shri Krishna) with that of Christ (Lord Jesus Christ) and concludes that it could not have been a coincidence that the stories of the two religions, to a great extent similar in terms of the natural order of precursors and successors; progenitors and progeny; could also mean similarity in the teachings of Christ and Christna. The Author though could not form the opinion that Jesus was/was not in India; he is somehow sure that the Gospels could be based on the ancient Indian mythology.

The book is the summation of various parts, to help the readers in getting an in-depth knowledge of the subject. Part I gives an overall coverage of India's relation to Antiquity; Part II presents revelations of Moses and Hebrew Society, then comes Part III which encapsulates Hindoo genesis in terms of the Virgin Devanaguy and Jezeus Christna. In the last Part, the Author has tried to show that the 'Christian idea' is a Hindoo origin and there is a high degree of bonding between Christ and Christna.
