(Abel offering Sacrifice)
The great scholar P.B. Kane has written volumes of books on Indian animal sacrifices.
Mahavira and Gowthama Buddha alienated themselves from Vedic animal sacrifices. Itwas during Buddhist rule in India, animal sacrifices to gods and goddesses were forbidden.But, even then, in many villages and small towns these animal sacrifices are still followedby people.
Many religious scholars are struggling to disprove and get away from the fact ofancient animal sacrifices during the Vedic period.
They are seeking to write apologetic literatures, giving figurative interpretations to ritualaccounts.
There is nothing wrong in spiritualizing the sacrifice (Yogna) for Yagna (sacrifice) indeed isthe shadow of reality. At the same time one cannot deny the history of animal sacrifices inthe Vedic period.
One cannot discard the evidences of Rig Vedha 10th mandala, chapter 91 and YazarVedha chapters 22, 23.
The Bible too presents the accounts of many animal sacrifices, ordained by God under theLaw of Moses. But here again, it is mentioned as shadow for the real sacrifice of Godhimself.

The real and supreme sacrifice was to take place upon the cross of Jesus Christ. Christians do not observe animal sacrifices. They believe that the Lord and savior JesusChrist has fulfilled all animal sacrifices in his one and only sacrifice. My humble opinion is,disciples of the Vedanta would make a grave mistake if they deny the old heritage ofanimal sacrifices of the Vedic times. It does not mean that these animal sacrifices need tobe revived again.
All animal sacrifices both in Vedic times in India and in Old Testament times in Palestineare shadows for the real sacrifice of God or Prajapatti
(Praja = People; Pathi = god, so God is called god of people).
The animal sacrifices are practiced even today in Indian Soil, though it is forbidden by theGovernment.
Every home sacrifice many young lambs for their god. Christians will surely understandthat how the Jewish animals sacrifices has a place in Indian soil, because Jews migrated toIndia especially to South India even before the birth of Jesus Christ.
People in India still believe that by sacrificing an animal, the curses and sins of theirfamily will be gone.
In Tamil Nadu, India, I have personally witnessed such animal sacrifices and often spoketo the people about the parallels of Old Testament and Indian Vedic scriptures, which werefulfilled in Jesus Christ.
For many educated people it is an eye opener.
Read the book of Moses 2, Leviticus Chapter 1" 1-9.
Jesus is the fulfilment of all animal sacrifices. Hebrews 7: 28; 9:28, 10: 10, 12,14

Atonement for Sins
In the beginning, God allowed mankind to sacrifice animals, so as to make themunderstand that there is atonement for everyone's sins, as it is written in ThertiriyaAranyaka verse 3, Sarvapapa pariharo raktha prokshna mavasyam which means thatthe atonement is through shedding of blood only.
Though the animal's blood is not a substitute, it was expected that man would repent andturn away from his sinful ways by seeing the animal, which is being sacrificed on hisbehalf. But mankind started practicing it just as a ritual, and thus came into condemnation.
If mankind were to be saved from this predicament, as Thertiriya Aranyaka 3rd verse saysagain, "thad raktham Paramatmena punyadana baliyagam" which means that-bloodhas to be through the sacrifice of God himself.
The Purusha Sukta says, there is no other way other than the sacrifice of PurushaPrajapati. Purushao vava yagna (Chandokya Upanishad 3.16.1), God, the Purusha is thesacrifice.
Not only by acknowledging but also by accepting this sacrifice as one's own, and for one'sown sake, the identity of one's self with the Divine Self is achieved.

Vedic requirements for the Sacrificial Purusha
The Rig Veda specifies ten important requirements for the sacrificial Purusha.
1. Should be without a blemish (Nishikalanga Purusha)
Kaatyaayana Srautasootram describes in chapter six, that the water and fire were to beused for the purification of the animals, since blameless (defect less) animals are notavailable in this world.
2. The Purusha has to be separated from others
While sacrificing the horse, the sacrificial horse is always separated from other horses. Abush of thorns is usually placed on the head of the horse to inform the people that thishorse is separated from the sacrifice.
Also the head of the horse is considered to represent the Purusha (Sathapatha Brahmana13th kanda, 6.22).
3. The Purusha has to be rejected by his own people
In Itareya Brahmana it is written that the sacrificial animal should be rejected by its father,mother, brother, sister and friends (2.16).
4. The Yagna Purusha has to suffer silently
Rig Veda 5.46.1 says, "Like a horse I have yoked myself, well knowing to the pole. I seekneither release nor turning back".

5. The Purusha has to be tied to a post
In Satapata Brahmana it is written, never do they immolate an animal without tying it to apole. "Na varute yapaat pasum alabhate kadachana (III -7.3.1)". It is important to tie theanimal to a sacrificial pillar before it is sacrificed.
This pillar is called "Yupastampa (sacrificial pillar)", which has now become a flag mast.
6. The blood of the sacrificial man should be shed
which means, if the tree is cut, it will grow again from its root. But after the man (martyah)was cut off by death, from which root does he come forth? Do not say that has is from theratas (seed or semen) because ratas comes from the one who lives. Remember this man isdead. But this man (Purusha) comes alive, on his own.
9. The flesh of the Purusha should be eaten by his saints
In Satpata Brahmana(5.1.1.1,2) we find that Prajapati gave Himself up to them, thus thesacrifice became theirs, and indeed the sacrifice is the food of the gods (saints).
10. The sacrifice is for all
6/16/2014 JESUS CHRIST IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECIES IN HINDU SCRIPTURES
http://www.jmanjackal.net/eng/enghindu.htm 7/12
Verse 8 in Purusha Sukta explains,
Tasmaad yagnatsarvahutah, pasuntamscakre voayaryaa, naananyaan gramyaasca ye.
By that sacrifice, all these originated: sprinkled ghee and all kinds of animals of the sky,forest and country. The significance of sprinkled ghee represents the original sacrifice.
From that sacrifice, Purusha offered everything that he had, including the Rig, Sama,Yazur Vedas and the Chandas (sacred writings).
How meticulously these Vedic requirements have been fulfilledin Jesus Christ of Nazareth
1. Jesus Christ was without any blemish
In the Old Testament Bible it is written, "Do not bring anything with a defect, because itwill not be accepted on your behalf"(Levi 22:20). "Whether male or female, present beforethe Lord an animal without defect " (Levi 3:1).
The New Testament says, "In Him (Jesus Christ) there was no sin"(1 John 3:5).

2. Jesus Christ was separated from others
The Bible says,
"the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purplerobe" John 19:2, thus separating Him from others.
3. Jesus Christ was rejected by his own people
The Prophet Isaiah wrote,
"He (Jesus Christ) was despised and rejected and they shouted to crucify him".
Jesus said on the cross, "Eloi Iama sabaktani", which means, "My God, My God, whyhave you forsaken me?" (Mathew 27:46).
4. Jesus Christ suffered silently
"He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open his mouth. He was led like a lamb tothe slaughter and as a sheep before the Shearer's is silent" (Isaiah 56:7).
5. Jesus Christ was tied
Ps. 118:27 says, "Bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar".
6. Jesus Christ's blood was shed

http://www.jmanjackal.net/eng/enghindu.htm 9/12
This was fulfilled in Jesus Christ when he was nailed to the cross.
"He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but entered the most holyplace once for all by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. Without sheddingblood there is no redemption" (Heb 9:12,22).
7. Jesus Christ's bones were not broken
In the Bible, Exodus 12:46 says that the bones of the animal should not be broken. Threehours after crucifixion,
"when they (soldiers) came to Jesus, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not hislegs"(John 19:33).
8. Jesus Christ rose again from the dead
"Him (Jesus Christ) God raised up the third day, and showed him openly" (Acts 10:40)."But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept"(1Cor. 15:20).
9. Jesus Christ gave his body to be eaten
At the last supper Jesus took the bread, gave thanks and gave it to his disciples saying,
"Take and eat; this is my body. Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and offered it to them,saying, Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed formany, for the forgiveness of sins" (Mat. 26: 26,27).
10. Jesus Christ was given to all
"He who did not spare His own son, but gave him up for us all, how will he not also, alongwith him graciously give us all things?" (Romans 8:32)

Testimony Sadhu Chellappa: Finding JesusChrist from Vedas
Sadhu Chellappa is an avid writer, Christian evengelist from South India who has written 28 books in Tamil
and English language. He has mastered the knowledge of the Vedas (Ancient text of Hindu scriptures in
Sanskrit language) and the other Hindu scriptures. He teaches about a connecting link between Vedas and
Jesus Christ.
His Life story:
Sadhu Chellapa came from a very religious family from
Tamilnadu, India. He recalls his grandfather being aconservative religious person but his father being a littlelenient. When he was at a very young, 1st World war
was going on. The times were very difficult and hisfamily was in search for a better livelihood. It was also
the time of British Raj in India. Hindu caste system wasvery prevalent. The lower caste people were
inhumanely treated by the Brahmins and the upperclass people. While at the same time, the British didnot discriminate between the high and the low caste
and they welcomed anyone who would be ready to serve them. So his father who was well educated andrespected in the society decided to embrace Christianity for the quality of life for himself and his family. By
doing so, he also could please the ruling British empire.
His father was working with a Missionary who was from Britain. Everything went well until his fatherdemanded a salary raise. In response to that, he lost his job. The family was stranded. They had nowhere to
go. Even everyday food for the family became a challenge. One day, young Chellappa went to the temple toeat the food which was offered to the idols; he liked the temple and especially food. So every day, he would
go to the temple to eat and while eating he would listen carefully to the shlokas recited by the priest of thetemple. Soon he memorized many of the shlokas by heart. One day the priest saw and heard him reciting the
same shlokas and was very impressed. He asked the young boy to come and help him in the duties of thetemple. He readily accepted because that meant more food during the day and no starvation. Slowly people
noticed him at the temple reciting shlokas and were very impressed. His fame grew and people also offeredhim gifts and food.

One day, he realized while reciting the Shlokas about a legend “Prajapati” (the lord of the people) which is
mentioned in the Vedas. This historic figure was supposed to take the sins of the world and die for it. He alsohad to remain sinless and a wild thorny creeper on his head. He was to die for the sins of the world and
resurrect. Sadhu Chellapa was really interested in this deity “Prajapathi” who is mentioned in Rig Veda as a“silent sufferer”. So he started searching for him. He asked many questions to other priests and Brahmans in
the temples. He was determined to search out his Prajapathi. But he did not find any satisfactory answers. Hewas only 19 years old at that time and felt very disillusioned. So he thought to himself may be there is no Godand everything is purposeless.
During this time, he met another atheist who had a long conversation with him that there is a god, but theworld has many names to this god. People say there is a Christian god, a Muslim god, a Jewish god and
thousands of Hindu gods, So it is better to believe there is no god. It makes more sense to just ignore God!
Some time went by, and his parents wanted him to get married. One of his Uncles insisted that he would
marry a good Christian girl. He did not know why he believed that, but he agreed to it. So he married andhad children. Life went on but he was not at peace, he started smoking, drinking and also went under a hugedebt. Due to his ill habits of smoking, he suffered from TB. There was no proper cure in those days so he
suffered a lot. On top of this he always had guilt in himself that he is neither a good husband to his wife or agood father to his children. Day by day the guilt of family, disillusionment from god and the tensions of debt
led him to depression.
One day he was travelling in the train with all the problems and worries of his life and he thought of a way to
escape from it. He decided to commit suicide. He went to the door of the gushing train to throw himselfdown. Right at that moment he heard a mysterious voice saying, “He that conceals his sin will never prosper.”This verse struck him to his core. He felt why he heard something like this? What was the purpose? Was
there a message for him? As soon as the train stopped he got down and he saw a huge Christian gathering inan open place. He started walking towards it, thinking that Jesus Christ is a Christian and foreign god of the
West. But he felt compelled to go there. In the meeting he heard the pastor speak about sin which heunderstood very well from his knowledge of Vedas. But then, the pastor said that only Jesus Christ, who is
born of the virgin can take away the sins of world, for He alone is sinless and he is the atoning sacrifice onbehalf of all the people. Sadhu Chellapa recalled that about “Prajapathi”, written in the Vedas too. He couldnot believe the exact connection. That night the pastor invited the congregation to come forward and accept
Jesus Christ as their Savior. He ran in front, prayed and accepted Jesus into his heart. Since that day hestarted sharing his testimony and preaching the Word of God in all the places.
You can read more about him, his mission, and his audio and video preaching on his websitehttp://www.agniministries.org/Default.aspx. His testimony is published in a leading British magazine “The
Edge”. You can also listen to 10 part testimony here on youtube where he talks in detail about the Vedas andits fascinating yet much ignored passages which may point to Jesus Christ. (The videos are set into playlist, soyou can continually watch all parts without any more clicks.)
