There are a variety of names which the scriptures of many religions present as names of God. There are also many conceptions of God ranging from one of a formless spirit to that of an old man with a beard sitting on a throne.
According to the Vedic literature, amongst the unlimited names of God the principle name is Krishna which means “all attractive”. The original all blissful form of God is the fountainhead of all incarnations such as Lord Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha. Krishna is the father of whom Lord Jesus spoke of. Interestingly the word “Christian” comes from Krishna. As a child is given the last name of the father, Jesus was given the last name Christ of which the original Greek/Aramaic pronunciation is “Khristos”.
If one endeavors to make an indepth study of early Christianity and it’s pure original teachings they will find the connection between the teachings of Lord Jesus and the Vedic truths. One can thus understand that Lord Krishna is the Supreme Godhead. Lord Krishna states in Bhagavad Gita that He is the master of all planets and demigods: “The sages, knowing Me as the ultimate purpose of all sacrifices and austerities, the Supreme Lord of all planets and demigods and the benefactor and well wisher of all living entities, attain peace from the pangs of material miseries.” (Bhagavad Gita verse 5.29)

Hari Om
This is a very interesting article you have written.
The problem is this.
When you quote scriptures, you must always say EXACTLY where the quoted scripture is taken from. Saying that according the vedic literature means very little to us.
Your TV program is the same, No chapter and no verse. You must quote the following.
The book.
The Chapter.
The verse.
By doing this we can go to the quotation and read it for ourself.and in this way we will grow deeper in faith,and have a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
Hari Om,
Vivekananda
