There are a variety of names which the scriptures of many religions present as names of God. There are also many conceptions of God ranging from one of a formless spirit to that of an old man with a beard sitting on a throne.

According to the Vedic literature, amongst the unlimited names of God the principle name is Krishna which means “all attractive”. The original all blissful form of God is the fountainhead of all incarnations such as Lord Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha. Krishna is the father of whom Lord Jesus spoke of. Interestingly the word “Christian” comes from Krishna. As a child is given the last name of the father, Jesus was given the last name Christ of which the original Greek/Aramaic pronunciation is “Khristos”.

If one endeavors to make an indepth study of early Christianity and it’s pure original teachings they will find the connection between the teachings of Lord Jesus and the Vedic truths. One can thus understand that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Godhead. Lord Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita that He is the master of all planets and demigods: “The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.” (Bhagavad Gita verse 5.29)
