Ibo Foroma Rastafarian Perspectives
LAST week we revealed indistinguishable traits between Hare Chrishna and Jesus Christ. Applying a well-known Rasta technic known as “word, sound and power” at root and etymologically, Hare and Heru is one and the same.Likewise, Chrishna/Krishna then Christ is from Kamitic/Hamitic Ka-rast/Ka-rest a subject of matter Brother Ashra Kwesi explains beyond description in most of his works including “The African Origin of Christianity.”
Consider saying the following; I am Christian, I am Christina and I am Chrishna and perhaps the resemblances require no more enunciation. Let’s proceed:
Chrishna performed many miracles as well as did Christ. One of the first miracles of each was the cure of a leper. Each healed “all manner of diseases.”
The work of casting out devils constitutes a part of the mission of each. Each practically proved his power to raise the dead.
A miracle appertaining to a tree is related of both. Both could read the thoughts of the people. The power to detect and eject evil spirits was claimed by both.
Both had the keys or control of death. Each led an extraordinary life. Each had a character for supernatural greatness.
Both possessed or claimed a oneness with the Father. A “oneness with his Lord and Master” is claimed, also, for the disciples of each.
A strong reciprocal affection between Master and disciple in each case.
Each offers to shoulder the burdens of his disciples. A portion of the life of each was spent in preaching.
Both made converts by their miracles and preaching.
A numerous retinue of believers springs up in each case. Both had commissioned apostles to proclaim their religion. Each was an innovator upon the antecedent religion.
A beautiful reform in religion was inaugurated by each Saviour. Each opposed the existing popular priesthood. Both abolished the law of lineal descent in the ancient priesthood.
Each was an object of conspiracy by his enemies. Humility and external poverty distinguished the life of each. Each denounced riches and rich men, loathed and detested wealth.
Both were meek. Chastity or unmarried life was a distinguishing characteristic of each. Mercy was a noteworthy characteristic of each.
Both were censured for associating with sinners. Each was a special friend to the poor. A poor widow woman receives marked attention by each. Each encounters a gentile woman at a well.
