The Hindu Holy Books are the Rig, Yajur, Sama and Adharvana Vedas. These four books form the basis of hinduism. While a normal Hindu reads Bagavat Gita, Bhrahmins specilize in reading the four Vedas. The mantra's spoken during poojas are from these four vedas. Written in sanskrit, the four vedas provide insight and form the basis for hinduism.
All the mantra's are in Sanskrit and a normal Hindu does not understand the meaning of these mantra's. While I was looking at some testimonies I came across a testimony from Dr. Srinivasa Battacharya. He is a Hindu convert. He is a Gold medalist in his Ph.D. He was a very staunch Hindu and his family and ancestors were priests in many famous temples.
Here are some matra's that are actually used in Poojas and their meaning. These mantra's refer to Jesus Christ. Sadhu Chellappa also in his messages have pointed that these mantra's denote Jesus Christ. I found the translations of the sanskrit mantra's from Dr Srinivasa's testimony and am compling it here.
These lines from Rigveda refers to John 3:16 "Santhakaram purakasayanam, pathmanabam suresham, vishwakaram…….mekavarnam….lakshikanthan…yogikirtham vandal bishnumbam, survalokayika…" These lines are commanly utterred during prayers. They translate into "The God so loved the world , that he gave his only begotten Son of God that whosoever believes in Him will have everlasting life”.
Samadeva clearly states that "Every man is a sinner and unless he is cleansed by the precious blood he cannot go into the kingdom of God" Now if you look into Hindu texts there are so many gods. But none had shed their blood for Redemption of Man from his sins.
But Hindu priest utter this mantra "Om shri vriksh shula arudayaka nama vrisha pondha marthil shulathil siluthayil baliyanavare, umbaye nan namaskarikunen" which means "Lord who died on the cross of Calvary I worship thee" So it is clear that the veda's refer to Jesus Christ.

I heard that Vedas refer to Christ. However, this is the first time I get to read quotations in Sanskrit. I forgot the the language that I had learned during childhood in India. The English translation certainly helped.
ReplyDeleteIt's better for Christians to see what things we have in common on which we can build cordial relationship with people of other religions then they can see how the Savior has changed our lives by grace through faith. Thank you for sharing.
