Eternity in a Hindu Heart
Chellappa faithfully recited his prayers every morning. It was part of the family legacy. His grandfather was a guru and his family was part of the order of priests or Brahmin, the highest caste in India.
The soul’s destination
His grandfather’s death shook the ten-year old boy. Chellappa found no answers about the soul’s final destination so he flung himself into his studies. He wanted answers and started learning Sanskrit so he could read holy books.
“Swami, when I die, where does my soul go?” he asked in class one day.
Annoyed, Chellappa’s teacher told him read the Rig Veda, the oldest Sanskrit text, regarded as the holiest Hindu book. Chellappa was left to find answers for himself.
One day he read about the god Prajapati, who is known as “God of the people”.
Chellappa read that Prajapati took away the guilt of all mankind. Chellappa did not know any god in their temple that fit this description.
The mysterious voice
The priests had it with Chellappa’s questions and dispelled him from the temple. Disappointed and disillusioned, he started gambling, fell into debt, and was taken to court. He was also diagnosed with tuberculosis. He had no money for treatment and death became a matter of time.
One day at the railway station, he decided to jump off of a train. When Chellappa went to jump, he heard: “Whoever keeps his wrongdoings secret has no success; whoever acknowledges his faults and surrenders, finds God’s mercy.” Eager to find the voice, he got off the train.
A large crowd was gathered. Chellappa stood at a safe distance, listening to a voice that rang over a loudspeaker. It was the same voice he had heard on the train.
The real Prajapati
The man was telling the story of Jesus, a god who had become a man, lived a simple life, and died an agonizing death. Chellappa was fascinated. Could it be that this god Jesus was the same as the Prajapati he had read so much about?
When the speaker asked if anyone wanted to accept Jesus, Chellappa ran to the platform. He had finally found his Prajapati.
Chellappa’s tuberculosis was healed and he worked his way out of debt. Fourteen years later he started his ministry to Indians and Tamils. Millions have been impacted by his teaching.
Take a look at your life. How would you describe it? Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it’s all of the above at times. There are things we dream of doing one day, there are things we wish we could forget. In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate?
Living with hope
If you are looking for peace, there is a way to balance your life. No one can be perfect, or have a perfect life. But every one of us has the opportunity to experience perfect grace through a personal relationship with God through His Son, Jesus Christ.
You can receive Christ right now by faith through prayer. Praying is simply talking to God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart. Here’s a suggested prayer:
Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life to you and ask you to come in as my Savior and Lord. Take control of my life. Thank you for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Make me the kind of person you want me to be.
Does this prayer express the desire of your heart? You can pray it right now, and Jesus Christ will come into your life, just as He promised.
Is this the life for you?
If you invited Christ into your life, thank God often that He is in your life, that He will never leave you and that you have eternal life. As you learn more about your relationship with God, and how much He loves you, you’ll experience life to the fullest.
Raja the difference between a “religion” and Christianity is quite different. All religions accept that Jesus Christ was on earth as a “prophet” who was crucified and killed by the Romans and died like all the prophets as the leader of all other religious movements. That is where the difference is as Christ was raised from death and was seen by numerous people and hid disciples seen him rise to the heavens.
The reason for his death and resurrection was so anyone on earth who wishes to enter heaven asks Christ for forgiveness as God can not accept anyone in his presence who is not holy and by Christ’s death and resurrection anyone how accepts him will enter heaven. Other religions preach on works to reach heaven however Christianity is relationship based not works based as all other religions are.
Christ asked Christians to preach the good news of salvation and to love one another as we would love ourselves. This way people will know we believe in Christ by us showing love. Christ also warned us that we as Christians will be hated by others which is evidence in the world by other religions who kill people just because they believe in Jesus Christ. NO one has been able to prove the Bible is fake and if you wish to know the truth you may wish to begin to read the bible to try to prove it wrong as his word says in John 8: 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
god is one whether it is krishna jesus allah ok dont come into hindu religion and disturb our religion we all are one and we all are indians the holy quran

God is Spirit and His worshipers must worship in Spirit and in truth, the woman said I know that messiah(means Christ) is coming when he comes he will explains everything to us, then Jesus said declared I who speaks to you am He. for many version and given name to Him in different religions but there is one He is! sometimes He may called nazarene, emmanuel it depends on the place given and even to others but there is one He is John 8:58 before Abraham I am the beginning and end,the alpha and the Omega ,the first and the last.
for we are all new creations the eyes of God, we are all His children, we are ONE whole big family as only in His place to praise Him, to thanks Him
for we dont know Gods mind but when we think all our lives today is As earth as its in heaven Just believe and it will be done have faith in His word and steps and when you look around you have to smile because in your hearts there is__ because you are big part of the history in Gods life! and our God teaching is about all Laws of Life, right steps in His Journey will be focus on One thing RIGHTEOUSNESS! and all our lives will be full of light beginning of new living as His Creation on His steps of Journey. all are in ETERNITY IN HEARTS!
