WHAT WOULD JESUS DRIVE?

SWAMI BUYS SWANKY CAR

LA Times

December 6, 1925

Says it is a 'far cry from the transportation of India'

Packard: Luxury Auto 

In 1925 Packard was an expensive status symbol. Like a Bugatti Veyron today. Pretty swanky rig for a renunciant....

Packard was the hottest car in the 1920's

WHERE WOULD JESUS LIVE?

Yogananda's Mansions

Excerpts from:

If Jesus Were Preaching Today

From East-West Magazine, Sept-Oct 1926

If Jesus were preaching today to an American audience, his message would not be, "Sell all ye have and give to the poor;" "take no heed for the morrow, what ye shall eat, what ye shall put on." These and other beautiful sayings of Jesus could not be strictly applied in the West today.

If Jesus were preaching today in America, he would employ all the methods of the successful businessman, and use newspapers as a means of drawing to him today's multitudes. *He would have to erect churches to house the religious multitudes, which would bring with it a need to concentrate on finances and raise money.


Paramahansa Yogananda

YOGANANDA

SELF PROCLAIMED SPOKESMAN FOR JESUS

Yogananda once prayed to Jesus Christ for reassurance that he was interpreting his words in the Gospels correctly. Jesus appeared to him in a vision; the holy Grail passed from his lips to Yogananda's. Jesus then, so Yogananda later told us, spoke these words of heavenly assurance: "The cup from which I dost drink, thou dost drink."


From: Original Christianity

Yogananda was also the God ordained spokesman for Krishna, who I believe was a Hindu, as he doesn't look Jewish.

My Commentary:

"Original Christianity" was Judaism. Jesus (Yeshu) was Jewish and taught from the Torah. He did not teach from the Vedas or Gita. I do not know if Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God, a Prophet, a Rabbi or just a rebel against hypocrisy and the brutal Roman empire, but I do know he was solidly Jewish and not Hindu.

Most of the "Beautiful sayings" of Jesus were direct or paraphrased from Proverbs and Deuteronomy. Apparently Jesus told Yogananda that he would be a "businessman**" if alive today. Apparently Jesus didn't mention the Torah to Yogananda which seems odd given that it was the foundation of his teaching.  Yogananda said that he had a vision of Jesus and Krishna walking hand in hand together, thus verifying that the teachings of both men were the same.

 It makes me wonder...
Was Krishna wearing a yarmulke?

SO WHO WAS THE GURU OF JESUS?

It is Interesting to me that all of the Gurus seem to be eager to hitch their cart to Jesus the Jew and hang on to his shirttail in an effort to establish themselves as his peers, yet there is no record of him mentioning them....

Peace and Best Wishes,

*Jesus attended Synagogues and ministered itinerantly. He was a  Jewish man under Roman rule who never started a Religion or Church.

**Jesus worked in his family business as a skilled Carpenter or Craftsman in a time before power tools and hardware stores.
