Well you did say "to christians as well" so I'm assuming it's ok to respond in this thread.

I can't speak for other christians (since that word seems to have so many meanings), but my faith says that there is only one God and that Jesus was God manifested in human form. He's not a second God. He is the one God.

In my belief there is no other who can claim divinity so there's nothing to reconcile.

Like Melody, I believe that there is one god.

If Jesus is divine, he is not a second god. He is part of the one god.
If Krsna is divine, he is not a second god. He is part of the one god.

The real core of my beliefs revolves around what Jesus taught. These teachings would be important even if they came from Bob the plumber. Jesus' message has meaning regardless of whether Jesus is divine. I believe that Jesus is divine, but that's of much lower importance. I am very aware that there is nothing (currently available) to prove this claim of divinity.

I am even less concerned about Krsna's claim of divinity. When I get around to studying Krsna's teachings, I will base my opinion of their worth solely on the content, not the pedigree of the author.

I expect I will not have too much difficulty reconciling the teachings of Jesus and Krsna.

m: Very well melody, it is good to be strong in your faith so am i, but remember you must have a open mind in order to have a complete understanding of the Godhead.....many blessings to you.:flower2:

m: But you see thats the point my friend, the core of my beliefs not only revole around what krsna taught but what jesus taught as well for within them both is the means to salvation or liberation .....beloved when you read about krsna's lilas then we can proceed further in this convo.....being that you only have a understanding of one and not the other at this point in time,no disrepect beloved.:flower2:

i figure i am allowed to respond to this, because it asks for Christians as well, and as a follower of Christ i guess that means me as well

personally, i see them both as being on the same level, but i lack knowledge on the teachings of Krsna, nor do i know the story of Krsna's divine birth

:flower2: Oh mike182 this is not a issue, if you have any questions regarding krsna's lilas feel free to ask thats what i'm here for.......as far as his divine birth, when krsna was concieved his mother(devaki)and father(vasudeva) was being held in prison in the same cell mind you but chained apart for each other, at that time lord vishnu entered into vasudeva's heart giving him bliss that cannot be explained with mere words, :cloud9: devaki seeing that her husband's countenance had suddenly changed, asked what was the cause for this sudden change being there present condition, vasudeva explained what was happening to him and describing the beautiful form that appeared within his heart, in the process of doing this krsna was concieved, thus mentally he who exist in the hearts of all was born...........if you have questions feel free beloved.m:

In my humble opinion, the two can not be reconciled because they have never been apart.m:

Where can we find teachings of Krsna? Can you post a website or something. Thanks very much.

 

[Arkangel]

I dont know how much of this would be helpful but you can try this site.
http://www.krishna.com/ I have been there too few a times to give any thoughts or benefits of this site. But you will find what you are looking for.

I think that Christ and Krisna are the same spirit, manifesting himself to all of God's children.

It might have served better to put this in Comparitive Religions. Christians aren't the only people who believe in Christ, and Hindus aren't the only ones who believe in Krishna.

The chosen form of the manifestation of the divine is largely cultural, based on the belief of the dominant population in the area. Would Western Europe in the middle ages have been able to handle the teachings of Sri Chaitanya?

Not with all the viloence around. Even today when i try to speak to people about the teachings in various forums, people only respond that Violence won US the freedom and Stopped Hittler. As if that justifies violence as being good.
