Secret I Always Wanted To Tell You
By Krsnaraja Melvin
Let's start with relationships between nations say, USA and India. The former is Christian, the latter Hindu. USA trusts God in Christ while India trusts God in Krishna. You know why Srila Prabhupad did not choose a successor to lead ISKCON? Because His Divine Grace could not find a pure devotee of Krishna among his followers. Huh? The reason is simple. If I want to go to India and I am a Christian, the only way for me to convert a Hindu to Christianity is that I should first become a pure devotee of Krishna. If I go to the USA and I am Hindu, the only way for me to convert a Christian in America to Hindu is I have to become a pure devotee of Christ. One can not be a pure devotee of Krishna if he is not a pure devotee of Christ. While one can not be a pure devotee of Christ if he is not a pure devotee of Krishna. Otherwise, USA and India goes to war. Funny, isn't it?
The proof of the pudding is in the eating

Krishna and Jesus Christ
Many people often wonder what is the view of Lord Jesus Christ in the Krishna consciousness movement.
Srila Prabhupada, the foremost exponent of the Krishna
consciousness movement explains that Jesus is Krishna's representative, son of God, and spiritual master.
Below are excerpts from Srila Prabhupada's books, lectures, and conversations about Jesus Christ and his
relationship with Krsna.
"If one loves Krishna, he must love Lord Jesus also. And if one perfectly loves Jesus he must love Krishna too. If he says, "Why shall I love Krishna? I shall love Jesus," then he has no knowledge. And if one says, "Why shall I love Jesus? I shall love Krishna", then he has no knowledge either. If one understands Krishna, then he will understand Jesus. If one understands Jesus, you'll understand Krishna too"
(Srila Prabhupada - Room conversation with Allen Ginsberg, May 12, 1969 / Columbus - Ohio)
