Was Jesus a Hindu saint and belong to the religion of Hinduism? I am from  India and in various newspapers and in different electronic medias, people are arguing that Jesus was a Hindu person. His religion was Hinduism. He was born in Kerala state of country India in a Brahman family.
Also,in one of  stack exchange sites, it is said that Jesus was an incarnate of Hindu God &quot;Shiva&quot;
So my simple question is that are these true stories or just  rumors?
It's quite possible that someone with a similar name was born in India at around that time, but this person is not Jesus as understood by Christianity.  Our understanding of the details of his life comes from the Gospels, the first four books of the New Testament, which make it clear that he was born in Bethlehem, a small village near the city of Jerusalem in Israel, to an observing Jewish family, who raised him as a Jew, and that he lived in the Roman-occupied lands of Palestine for the majority of his life.  It gives no indication that he ever headed east across Arabia, much less came anywhere near the Indian subcontinent, although he did send his disciples "into all the world"--which necessarily includes India--to preach the Gospel.

Simply put, any person not matching this description is a different person than the Jesus of Christianity.
