Past resurrection of Jesus now generates present power of spiritual rebirth and resurrection into Endless Life
"Then the Master touched my eyes so that they were opened to
Reality. It appeared to me that the people seized him. They carried
him off and hung him on a tree. I looked at him whom they had
pierced, and I cried out, `What's happening, Lord? Is it you they
have nailed to this tree? Who is this standing above the tree
rejoicing, laughing aloud? Are you above the tree, Lord, or is it
you they are nailing to it?' Then the one standing above the tree
reached down, lifted me up, and pressed me against the one who was
hanging on the tree, so that I was covered by his sweat and blood.
The one hanging on the tree groaned and the one standing above the
tree laughed. Then I found myself standing in the temple courtyard
again with Jesus.
"`The one you saw hanging on the tree is my mortal nature,'
explained the Redeemer. `The one rejoicing above the tree is my
divine nature. My mortal nature will suffer as you have seen, and
the suffering will be real, but my divine nature will rejoice
because you, and those who believe your testimony, will be washed in
my blood, which will generate the power of rebirth into Endless
Life. I have sanctified you, John; I have claimed you as my own. My
elect will accept your testimony and will come to you to receive
those mysteries through which they will also be sanctified and
claimed by me in the mansion of my Parents.'
"I looked around and saw that no one was watching us, so I
said, 'Lord, no one is paying attention to us. Let's leave this
place of darkness.' The Master replied, `This is my Parents' House,
John. Its ministers have invited the demiurge to take up residency
here, but my Parents' House transcends this place. I will cleanse
and purify it so that you can minister in it the mysteries of
godliness.'
"Then I saw someone approach us enveloped in Light. He looked like
the one who was laughing above the tree. Walking up to the Master,
he embraced him, and the two flowed together until there was only
one person standing with me. He said to me, `Be strong, for you are
the one to whom the keys of these mysteries are given. Those I do
not give you personally, you will know through revelation. Lead my
elect to understand that he who is crucified and he who appears in
Light are one Lord, and each of you must pass through this mystery.
I go first to show you the Way, but each of you must follow me.
John, you will continue to minister these mysteries in age after
age, and in distant lands, for I will give you the power to
transcend the illusion of death, so that your ministry will be
Eternal. This power is the heritage of all those who give their
souls to me. I will return them to themselves filled with Divine
Light, just as I am filled with Divine Light. Everyone who becomes
like me will be where I AM, but everyone who maintains the image of
mortal existence cannot come where I am, for they must remain with
their master the demiurge. I am the Lord of Light, John, and I raise
my elect to realms of Light where the destroyers have no power.
"`You must be strong, fearing nothing, for perfect faith drives out
all fear. In your courage you will find the keys to overcoming every
weapon of darkness. I will be with you always, for you have overcome
this world of darkness. Let your Light shine, for it will draw the
attention of my elect, who will gather around you as a hen gathers
her chickens under her wings to protect them from danger. You will
protect my children and lead them safely home to my Parents, who are
also your Parents.'
"When Jesus had said these things, we left the temple and went to
the Mount of Olives. Amen."
CHAPTER 4
When John had finished speaking, there was silence for awhile. Then
Peter spoke up. "On the day Jesus was crucified, John and I left the
house of the high priest together, but I couldn't watch the Master
suffer anymore, so I parted from John and went to a cave I knew on
the Mount of Olives. There I wept for what was happening to my Lord.
Outside the cave, the sky grew dark, like it was the middle of the
night. Suddenly, the Master stood in front of me in the cave,
enveloped in Light. `Peter,' he said, `the people down below see me
being crucified, pierced with lances, and with a crown of thorns on
my head, but I am here speaking to you in this cave. Remember what I
tell you so that when I have ascended to my Parents, you can share
this testimony with my elect.'
"Then the Master showed me a cross of Light, firmly planted in the
ground. Around this cross was a crowd of beings, but they appeared
to me as shadows. There was one form attached to the cross, and
above the cross was the Lord himself, although he appeared to me to
be pure Light. Then the Lord said to me, `Peter, you need to
understand the meaning of the cross, and to share this testimony
with my elect children. I have called this cross of Light by many
names during my ministry to help you understand my meaning. I have
referred to it as Logos, Mind, Jesus, Christ, the Door, the Way, the
Bread, the Seed, Resurrection, Son, Father, Mother, Spirit, Life,
Truth, Faith, Gifts, and so forth. Each of these names refers to an
aspect of the cross, but actually it is the bridge between darkness
and Light, between death and Life. It is that which is firmly
grounded and will lift everyone who is attached to it above the
mortal condition. It is my consort Sophia, through whom I bring you
forth in realms of Light."

"The Resurrection
The origin of Christianity is not to be sought in the teaching of
Jesus, or even in his call of the twelve disciples to follow him.
Christianity was born with the resurrection and glorification of
Jesus on Easter Day. The historian can neither prove nor disprove
the miraculous events of the first Easter Day recorded in all the
Four Gospels. What is certain that something happened and that, as a
result, a new faith was born. Even those who question the 'empty
tomb' or the accounts of the resurrection of Jesus cannot deny the
reality of the 'resurrection faith' of the early Christians."
Geoffrey Parrinder, World Religions: From Ancient History to Present
"People crucified Jesus Christ because of their ego. They could not
conceive of an idea that some human being can appear on the Earth as
an Incarnation of God. Their intellectual pride could not accept
this idea and they rejected the Truth because of the ego. What was
the bad deed for which Jesus was crucified? He had, on the contrary,
cured many people of their ailments. He preached the Truth and
taught many good things to the people. He showed them to live in a
very cultured life. He always preached Love. In spite of this, the
people tortured Him. But they would bow before those who teach
filthy and rotten things, and make a fool of them. What a height of
stupidity!
These days any Tom, Dick or Harry becomes a guru, robs the people,
squeezes money from them. Such persons are held in high esteem. On
the contrary, if a good person who stands by the Truth wishes to
show the true path, the people not only won't listen to him but
assault him. To educate such very stupid people God Almighty sent
His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, on this Earth. But the people
crucified Him.
They have been, ever since, repeatedly doing the same thing. If you
read, you will find that whenever God incarnated, or any sage or
saint took birth on this Earth, the people have harmed them and
tortured them. Instead of learning from them, they behaved stupidly
with them. We will notice the same story about Shri Gyaneshwara and
Shri Tukarama, the great saint of Mahashtra. Similar treatment was
meted out to Shri Guru Nanaka and Prophet Muhammad. Man always runs
away from the Truth to embrace untruth."

"The Message of His life is not the Cross but the Resurrection. He
was resurrected. That was one of the things He did so that now you
can be resurrected. Every Incarnation is something unique. But the
end of it was the Resurrection. He did it because He had to die.
Otherwise how can you resurrect yourself? There are lots of things
which look difficult but which are not. There are some who say that
Christ never resurrected Himself."

Christmas Puja, India - December 25, 1993
"I am happy to know so many of you have come here and I feel this is
a very important Puja, not only for Australia but for the whole
world, because it has the greatest Message which we have actualized
now in Sahaja Yoga. We have to understand the Message of Christ.
There are many people in this world who try to show off that they
are very great rationalists and they have a right to pass any remark
they like about Christ. I was reading the newspapers today. I was
surprised where they are all saying one by one that, "I reject this
part of Christ that He was born with Immaculate Conception. I reject
that He was resurrected. I reject this and I reject that."
Who are you? Because you can write, because you have a flair, how
can you say such things? Just without finding out, you are a
scholar, maybe you are very well read, maybe that you think you are
capable of saying whatever you like about any subject, but subject
of spirituality cannot be dealt by people who are not even Self-
Realized."

Resurrection; Helping Each Other, Easter Puja Talk
Sydney, Australia, April 3, 1994
"The Avatar of Jesus, under the name of Maha-Vishnu (the Great
Vishnu) was announced in the Indian holy scriptures. "The creation
of Lord Jesus Christ as Maha-Vishnu, the son of Shri Krishna
(signifying the Supreme God) was foretold in Markandeya's "Shrimad
Devi Bhagavatam: 'Constellations and galaxies of energy are roaring
in each dust particle of His skin. Mother Mary, the incarnation of
Mahaluxshmi, will see this cosmic giant of divine forces, Her Son,
being hung on a cross to die'" (L. Heart, p.164).
Here there are some excerpts from the Indian text (9th book, chapt.
III) describing His birth: "Narayana said . . . There was a powerful
Child, lustrous like one thousand millions of sun. . . This Boy is
the Sole Stay of all this Universe and He is denominated by the
name "Maha-Vishnu." In His every pore countless universes are
existing. So much so that even Shri Krishna could not count
them. . . The Lord, the Bestower of boon, granted Him boons
appropriate for the moment. "O Child ! Let You possess knowledge
like Me. . . . Let You be the holder of innumerable Brahmandas
(universes) until the time of Pralaya (universal dissolution). Be
without any selfishness, be fearless and the bestower of boons to
all. . . ." Thus saying, He repeated thrice on His ear the six-
lettered great Mantra. . . . Shri Krishna then spoke in sweet
words: "O Child ! Let You divide Yourself in parts and turn into
smaller Viratas in every universe. Brahma will spring from Your
navel and will create the cosmos. From the forehead of that Brahma
will spring eleven Rudras for the destruction of creation. But they
will all be parts of Shiva. The Rudra named Kalagni, of these eleven
Rudras, will be the destroyer of all this Vishwas (universes).
Besides from each of Your sub-divisions, the Vishnu will originate
and the Bhagavan Vishnu will be the Preserver of this Vishwa. . . .
Your Mother, Who resides in My breast, will be no difficult for You
to see. . . ." Saying thus Shri Krishna, the Lord of World
disappeared. . . . Thus, from the pores of the great Virata each
universe has sprung and in every universe there is one small Virata,
one Brahma, one Vishnu and one Shiva and Sanaka and others"
Dan Costian, Bible Enlightened
"Now as you know, He created all the Brahmandas. Brahmanda means a
Universe. Now the Universe of the Sun, out of that Universe has come
the Earth, out of that you have come out and in your Agnya Chakra He
created a small Virata as they call it. He exists within your Agnya
Chakra. This sacrifice is very, very significant and though it is
gross, in subtle it has happened. To take the awareness through this
centre of Agnya was done by Christ, by His crucifixion.
He came as a gross person, just like a gross human being. His body
died but did not die because that body was also made of that
imperishable divine vibrations, as you call, the radiations or this
Brahma. He did not die and that's why the body did not die, and He
resurrected with His body. He had to die to show that the body,
though dies, can be saved. That's why He had to be crucified.
Otherwise, He could not have shown you, but His actualizing that He
died and then resurrected to show that this does not die."

The Meaning Of Easter, Easter Day, London, U.K. — April 6, 1980
“Krishna has said about the eternal life and the Spirit. It cannot
be killed by anyone. It cannot be killed. It is eternal. You cannot
cut it. It cannot be blown out by any wind. And He (Jesus) had to
prove it. And to prove it they had to have somebody here on this
Earth with that energy to come in with a body, to act like a human
being, live like a human being, and go through the drama of death to
show that He overcomes death. The Resurrection is .... a Message,
that in Resurrection He had to die, and He had to be resurrected
because He said that it is beyond death. Krishna had said that the
Spirit is beyond death. The Spirit had to come on this Earth.
So you understand when we talk of Christ how little we know as to
how this was done. It is the most difficult thing that He did.”
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
The New Age Has Started, Houston, USA — October 6, 1981
“Christ was born on this Earth as a human being. He came on this
Earth and the task that was before Him was to enlighten human
awareness with the sense of understanding that we can see its
actualization within the awareness of human beings that they are not
this body, but they are the Spirit. The Message of Christ was His
Resurrection, that is, you are the Spirit and not your body and He
showed by His Resurrection how He ascended into the Realm of
Spirit ...
And He came on this Earth in a body like a human being. He wanted to
show another thing: that the Spirit has nothing to do with money,
has nothing to do with Power. It is All-Powerful, All-Pervading ...
He has promised that you have actually to be 'born again.' Christ is
to be born within you. I do not know what Christians understand out
of this? How do you become 'born again'? Not by going through the
ritual of baptism. Somebody coming from the theological college
cannot make you a Christian ...
The main thing that one has to understand is that the time has come
for you to get all that is promised in the scriptures, not only in
the Bible but all the scriptures of the world. The time has come
today that you have to become a Christian, a Brahmin, a Pir, through
your Kundalini awakening only. There is no other way. And that your
Last Judgment is also now.”
