Who is more powerful jesus or shiva
The other day, I was surfing and I found this mega debate on Quora ‘who is more powerful jesus or shiva’
The Internet is a funny place.
Isn’t it
Or dare I say Hindu is a funny community
The Divine Essence of Jesus
There were all sorts of comments but Christians were clear
Jesus gave eyes to blind and even Cured Peter’s mother in law
He Cured a noble’s son and he Turned Water to Wine
Jesus also helped a leper or Cast out an unclean Spirit
So there is no question
without any doubt
Jesus is more powerful
Not only that, they did not hesitate to demean Lord Shiva
‘He could not even stand Bhasmasur, he cried for his dead wife and did bad things with many women’
Now, Hindus were making four kinds of comments
and read with me
It may look like crazy, but it is not
So the first set of Hindu [at least by their name] affirmed and said exactly what Christians were saying
even including the bad things about Lord Shiva
Guess what
There are many converted Hindus who still hold Hindu Names
But even those who are actually Hindu and believe in Hinduism, were saying one of the following 3 things
Unveiling Shiva’s Cosmic Powers
They said
There is not even iota of confusion about Shiva being super powerful.
He is one of trinity and has immense power.
These people were mostly busy answering the allegation made on Bhagwan Shiva, but no one demean Jesus or Christianity
If you are a Hindu Parent and want to connect your child with Sanatan Dharma, do read my guide Hinduism for Kids.
At Sanatan Life we have observed that if we leave aside a few, most conventional Christians also do not try to demean Hindu Gods,
This practice is largely dominated by the converted lot
They could not understand Hindu values and now they also do not try to understand the Christian values as well.
Anyways, now there is another set of Hindus
Comparative Analysis of Miracles of Jesus and Shiva is not possible
So a lot of Hindus also said that it is an apple vs orange issue
While Shiva is the God himself, Jesus is the son of God
Now, it looks like, some Christians took it as an allegation and they replied by saying
‘ He is the exact living image [the essential manifestation] of the unseen God’
You see,
I am no expert on Christianity
But this looks like a copy of the Hindu concept that we call, deity
Only that the deity is more flexible on form and on number
I mean Hinduism said, when the purpose is connection, why settle with only one.
So we said
Let different people connect with different forms of the same God
And then came the twist and the most crazy one
So the 4th kind of comments said
Jesus and Shiva — basically both are same
Now this is coming purely from Hindus
And I would say those Hindus
who do not know a thing about Sanatan Dharma
So these are the people, who may accept any Tom Dick and Harry equivalent to our Bhagwan and may put ’em in our Mandirs.
and here I am not talking about Jesus
I am talking about Santoshi Maa, a typical bollywood movie creation that these type of Hindus has put into our temples.
And that is why for them, they can accept any fakirs, bairagi or pseudo story to accept as deity in a temple without any evaluation.
These peripheral level Hindu followers started following something without any consultation to any expert on Hindu Dharma and later start saying, you accept it as Hindu because we believe it.
So we need to understand, the actual problem is not from those who come at our gates asking for conversion.
The problem is actually these pseudo siculars who do not know a thing about their own Dharma.
For me, I am also of the opinion that there are no comparison between Jesus and Shiva
It is just a way what two community believes.
But I can say one thing for sure
This world is filled with funny people
They will copy and absorb Yoga, Dhyana, Ayurveda, Shalya Chikitsa, Kaamsutra, Tantra, and many more things from sanatan sanskriti
but will still keep questioning our sanskriti
Now what should we call these funny people,
They claim that our belief is better than your belief, they come and try to convert people by hook or crook
Whereas we do not involve into conversion, neither you find any conventional Hindu organisation getting involved into conversion
As a matter of fact, there are no conversion process here.
Sanatan Dharma just suggest to follow Hindu practices of non-violence, love and respect
