Artists Re-Imagine Love Between Christ and the Hindu Deity Krishna

Posted on 14:00 by the great khali
JESUS IN LOVE BLOG
By Kittredge Cherry
"Jesus and Lord Rama" by Alex Donis
What if Christ met Krishna? They are two of the greatest teachers of love that the world has ever known. Would they speak of love, even make love? This delightful possibility is considered here today in honor of Krishna’s birthday or Janmashtami (Aug. 28, 2013). Many have noticed the similarities between Christ and the Hindu deity Krishna, but now the two god-men are portrayed as gay lovers in the work of artistic visionaries like artist Alex Donis. Krishna’s birthday is celebrated on Aug. 28 this year. [link]
