Religious-hierarchies

Neither Christianity nor the New Age- Only Sanatana Dharma

By Swami Durgananda

It is essential to emphasize that Prabhuji’s intention has never been to represent, associate, or identify with Christianity or related New Age movements. As a minister and clerical representative, he has been formally ordained within the framework of the religious tradition known as Sanātana-dharma, also referred to as orthodox Hinduism. Within this context, Prabhuji has received traditional ordinations as a brāhmaṇa (1991), sannyāsī (1993), and finally, avadhūta (2011), adhering strictly to the principles and precepts established by this tradition.

The fact that his Iṣṭa-devatās are Śrī Śrī Bhagavān Yeshua Mahāprabhu and Jagat Jananī Miriam Ha Kdosha should not, under any circumstances, be interpreted as a doctrinal affiliation with Christianity or the New Age. This principle finds parallels in recognized orthodox institutions of the Hindu religion, such as the Rāmakṛṣṇa Mission, where Jesus Christ is revered as a divine incarnation, and in the teachings of Paramahaṁsa Yogananda, who emphasized respect and devotion toward Jesus.

Consequently, Prabhuji’s devotion to figures such as Bhagavān Yeshua and Miriam should be understood as part of an inclusive religious worldview inherent to the religion he practices (Sanātana-dharma).
