Jesus was mentioned in the Vedic literatures
more than 3000 years before He appeared.

éça mürtir-däòi präptä
nityaçuddhä çivamkaré
éçämaséhaù iti ca
mama näma pratiñöhitam

"Having placed the eternally pure and auspicious form of the Supreme Lord in my heart, O protector of the earth planet, I preached these principles through the Mlecchas' own faith and thus my name became 'isha-masiha' (Jesus the Messiah)." (Bhaviñya Purana 19.31)

iti çrutvä sa bhüpäle
natvä tam mlecchapüjäm
sthäpayämäsa taà tatra
mlecchasthäne hi däruëe

"After hearing these words and paying obeisances to that person who is worshipped by the wicked, the king humbly requested him to stay there in the dreadful land of Mlecchas."
(Bhaviñya Purana 19.32)

svaräjyam präptavän räjä
hayamedhan cékirat
räjyam kåtvä sa ñañöhyabdam
svarga lokamu päyayau

"King Salivahara, after leaving his kingdom performed an asvamedha yajna and after ruling for sixty years, went to heaven. Now please hear what happened when the king went to svargaloka."   * (Bhaviñya Purana 19.33)

Thus ends the second chapter entitled, "the age of Salivahara" of the story of Kali Yuga of the Caturyuga Khanda also called pratisarga-parva of the wonderful Bhavishya Maha Purana.

A discussion between Srila Prabhupada (His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada / Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness - ISKCON) and one of his disciple) -- Room Conversation -- April 2, 1977, Bombay

Tamäla Kåñëa dasa: "What is the difference between a pure Christian, or at least a sincere one, and a sincere devotee of Kåñëa?"

Srila Prabhupäda: No difference.

Tamäla Kåñëa dasa: He says he read a passage of the Bhaviñya Mahä-Puräëa written by Vyäsadeva three thousand years before Christ foretelling Jesus Christ's presence in the Himalayas in 78 of the Christian era, and his meeting with King Shalamoyi.(?) Are there any other prophecies in the Bhaviñya Mahä-Puräëa or in any other scriptures telling more accurately Jesus Christ's birthday?

Srila Prabhupäda: Everything is accurate there.

Tamäla Kåñëa dasa: In that particular Puräëa? He says he is sorry to take your very precious time, and he prays that you answer all of his questions, which you have done. So he thanks you very much for reading this letter and for your expected help. He asks one last question in a P.S., which I think is practically an important question. He says, "To practically follow Jesus Christ for a sincere searcher of the truth who does not recognize and accept the external manifestations of the Kåñëa consciousness movement, is it possible to attain love of God?" No.
