Correspondences between events in Jesus' and Krishna's life:

Author Kersey Graves (1813-1883), a Quaker from Indiana, compared Yeshua's and Krishna's life. He found what he believed were 346 elements in common within Christiana and Hindu writings. ₁ That appears to be overwhelming evidence that incidents in Jesus' life were copied from Krishna's. However, many of Graves' points of similarity are a real stretch.

He did report some amazing coincidences:

	#6 & 45: Yeshua and Krishna were called both a God and the Son of God.
	7: Both was sent from heaven to earth in the form of a man.
	8 & 46: Both were called Savior, and the second person of the Trinity.
	13, 15, 16 & 23: His adoptive human father was a carpenter.
	18: A spirit or ghost was their actual father.
	21: Krishna and Jesus were of royal descent.
	27 & 28: Both were visited at birth by wise men and shepherds, guided by a star.
	30 to 34: Angels in both cases issued a warning that the local dictator planned to kill the baby and had issued a decree for his assassination. The parents fled. Mary and Joseph stayed in Muturea; Krishna's parents stayed in Mathura.
	41 & 42: Both Yeshua and Krishna withdrew to the wilderness as adults, and fasted.
	56: Both were identified as "the seed of the woman bruising the serpent's head."
	58: Jesus was called "the lion of the tribe of Judah." Krishna was called "the lion of the tribe of Saki."
	60: Both claimed: "I am the Resurrection."
	64: Both referred to themselves having existed before their birth on earth.
	66: Both were "without sin."
	72: Both were god-men: being considered both human and divine.
	76, 77, & 78: They were both considered omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent.
	83, 84, & 85: Both performed many miracles, including the healing of disease. One of the first miracles that both performed was to make a leper whole. Each cured "all manner of diseases."
	86 & 87: Both cast out indwelling demons, and raised the dead.
	101: Both selected disciples to spread his teachings.
	109 to 112: Both were meek, and merciful. Both were criticized for associating with sinners.
	115: Both encountered a Gentile woman at a well.
	121 to 127: Both celebrated a last supper. Both forgave his enemies.
	128 to 131: Both descended into Hell, and were resurrected. Many people witnessed their ascensions into heaven. Among the recorded possible similarities between Christianity and Mithraism are the following: Virgin birth Twelve followers Killing and resurrection Miracles Birthdate on December 25 Morality Mankind's savior Known as the Light of the wor The pagan examples throughout human history: Deganawidah: “According to the legend, Dekanahwideh was born among the Huron Indians. His virgin mother had been informed in a dream by a messenger from the Creator that she was to bear a son destined to plant the Tree of Peace at Onondaga.” Dekanahwideh, Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online. Montezuma (the Pueblo god-hero, not the Aztec Emperor): Supposedly conceived from a beautiful virgin when she either ate [1] a pinyon pine nut, or when it fell from a tree and landed on her belly[2], depending on the version. Cúchulainn: according to “The Birth of Cúchulainn” he was born three times: the second and third may have been virgin births (the narrative is unclear). Mithras: The Persian yazata Mithra is often cited as a virgin birth, but this is unclear. By the 3rd Century BC, Mithra’s myth had become attached to that of Anahita. The Seleucid temple at Kangavar in western Iran (c. 200 BC) is dedicated to “Anahita, the Immaculate Virgin Mother of the Lord Mithras.” But it should be noted that Anāhitā was considered eternally immaculate, no matter how many sexual encounters she might have. (Author’s note: We’ll approach this “eternally immaculate” concept in depth later on in the study). Romulus: Mythical founder of Rome, his father was Mars, his mother was a vestal virgin. Hailed as a “god, son of god” he was also prayed to for grace (Livy, History 1:3-4). Perseus: Mother was Danae (a human virgin) and Zeus. Horus: An Egyptian deity born to Isis, an “eternal virgin” on 25 December. Also possibly born in a cave or manger. Tammuz: Born to the virgin, Mylitta (a.k.a. Isthtar) on 25 December in a cave or manger. Dionysius: Greek deity born to the virgin, Semele and Zeus in a manger and then raised in a cave. Krishna: Devaki, the radiant Virgin of Hindu mythology, bore Krishna to the god Vishnu (second god of the Trimurthi [also called the Hindu Trinity]). Zarathustra (Zoroaster): Born to a 15-year old virgin. Minverva: Although a “daughter of Jupiter” was apparently conceived without intercourse with the god.
