Insights from Tanuja (divine light) and Jaswant (Lord Jesus=Shiv?]

Tanuja Pande informs us:

The forces of darkness and light as representing evil and good [are found in all major religions] eg : the Hindu- 'Tamas O Ma Jyotirgamay'. The Zoroastrian Ahurmazda and Ahriman [which are the] forces of light and Darkness. In Islam [there is] The path of 'Siratul Lazina' the straight path.

[May I add: in Hinduism we talk of Om Prakash, the light of the Om. In Islam we have the concept of Noor e Ilâhi and Noor Allâh, the light of Allâh. I sincerely believe that Om is the same as Allâh. They are even written alike, with the difference that there is a crescent and a dot, like the Islamic crescent and moon, above the Om. And Lord Jesus told us that he was the Light of Life. So, all three religions talk of the divine light.]

Jaswant/ James Gibson Craig adds:

Isa [Jesus] is also an early name for Shiva. Conceivably, Jesus was a disciple of Shiva. [Parvez Dewan: That would belittle Lord Jesus. I am ready to accept that Lord Jesus might be the same as Shiv whose name means Ar Rehman in Arabic (which is one of the names of Allâh.]

Jaswant continues: Haidakhan Baba (1970-1984) was seen as his devotees as a Mahavatar - a direct manifestation of Shiva/Brahman/Divine Mother.

I [Jaswant] am one of Lord Shiva's disciples. He [Haidakhan Baba?] said once that Jesus had lived in a cave just up the river (Gautama Ganga) from Haidakhan - about 20 miles from Haldwani, near Nainital.)

The Gautama Ganga serves as a trade route between India and Nepal. Jesus is reported to have gone to Nepal after being in Benares. Perhaps he passed by Lord Shiva, in one of his countless bodies on the Gautama Ganga. By the way, Mount Kailash hovers over Haidakhan on the other side of the river.

Saint Thomas said to bow down to the one who is not born of woman. Manifestations of Lord Shiva are not born of women.
