I do not believe Jesus & Buddha are avatars of Krishna. This is a modern idea that is not based on scripture. Logically following it implies all religious texts that mention Jesus should be taken as true revelations. My argument against religious universalism (aka "all religions are one"). Live Easter Day 2024.
0:00 – Jesus declared an avatar of Krishna by Christian missionaries in India in the late 1700's/1800's as part of the creation of Neo-Hinduism & religious universalism (i.e. all religions are the same)
4:28 – No scriptural evidence for Jesus as an avatar in Sanatana Dharma scripture (note: The Bhavishya Purana is said to mention Jesus, and might show his divinity and/or avataric status. I believe the Isha (Jesus) described in this purana is not the Jesus of the Bible, but a different person. So, I discredit it as evidence of Jesus as an avatar.), convoluted theology of Neo-Hinduism
6:51 – Koran, Book of Mormon, Christian Science (Church of Christ, Scientist) book 'Science & Health With Key To The Scriptures', A Course In Miracles, etc. are true prophecies of Krishna if Jesus is an avatar
15:26 – Buddha as an avatar of Krishna, deciding who is an avatar & prophet of Hinduism (note: I reject the idea that Buddha as mentioned in the Srimad Bhagavatam & other Hindu texts is Gautama Buddha, but is instead a different Buddha. I also find it insulting to Buddhism as it essentially means we Hindus know more about Buddhism than Buddhists & we know the truth), Jainism, Jesus in India mythology & subjective comparison of Hinduism & Jesus' Christianity
23:45 – Accepting modern views of Jesus in religious universalism & Neo-Hinduism vs preserving Sanatana Dharma
For seekers who’ve outgrown spiritual fluff. This isn’t about trends, vibes, or blind devotion. This is real talk for real seekers.
🎙️ Each episode is part of a larger journey. This isn’t random content—it’s a structured path into deeper truth, not easy comfort.
I’m Premanand Das Bhagat (Aaron Joy), in Portland, Maine, USA. I followed the so-called spiritual path—believed everything and anything, joined a cult, and ran in circles. Through honest effort, deep unlearning, and painful self-awareness, I found clarity in Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism).
Now, I speak to those who feel the same disillusionment. If you believe in asking questions, rejecting lazy universalism, and using logic and scripture together to navigate this chaotic world—you’re in the right place.
