It is quite natural to find similarity in the religious insights (darsan) of Hebrews and Aryans on fundamental concepts. Scriptures are many; but God is One. In Scriptures we find the essence of the search for God. Man's search for God need not be without mistakes. Because man is a being with limitations. The fulfilment of man's search for God is divine revelation. "e;What can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them"e; (Rom. 1:19). This divine revelation is beyond religions. And without such revelation, religions are incomplete. But religious insight and divine revelation are two separate things; not the same. Both need to be unified. When man's thoughts and perceptions are surrendered to divine revelation, this unification is complete. Dr. Koshy Abraham, through his book 'Christ in Ancient Indian Thought' that showed the essence of the Vedas, has given a fresh lease of life to the comparative studies of different religious scriptures to find their similarity. His studies have literally produced a healthy excitement among the enlightened readers. Generally, the Vedic scholars also agree with Dr. Koshy's ideas. In any case, it is an undeniable fact that Dr. Koshy has brought about a movement in the sphere of religious studies. His works have to be read with concentration. And only those who have fairly good knowledge of the Veda, can comprehend the truth evident in his books.
Tat tvam asi is an extraordinary book enveloping the gamut of the Upanishadic insights in all their profundity and splendour. Its author is a literary genius with about40 books and compositions to his credit. The book, which has received over 12 awards from various institutions in India, is written in a style that is quiteUpanishadic and not easily comprehensible to the ordinary man. It also uplifts the imagination of the reader. This translation is an attempt to make Tat tvam asi reach aglobal audience unfamiliar with Upanishadic terms and concepts. It could not have been achieved without a background in Philosophy, both Indian and WesternNevertheless it was an arduous exercise to find suitable words to convey the correct meaning intended by the author. I am grateful to the author for giving me freedom to accomplish it in my own way as well as for accepting the translation as authentic Undertaking the work of translation was a highly satisfying and enrichingexperience. This translation, one hopes, will generate a renaissance in Upanishadic knowledge at an international level, as Tat tvam asi did in Kerala, when it was firstpublished.
Centuries ago Vedas and Upanishads had recorded many times hints regarding a Prajapathi who would be the liberator. These hints were neither gathered together nor collated to comprehend their true significance, much less explain it to the common people. Prajapthiyagam, the Crucifixion by Dr. Koshy Abraham conclusively affirms the true identity of Prajapathi. Quoting many clear and strong indications from Vedic literature as evidence, the author establishes without any doubt where exactly the real Prajapathiyagam took place. He has interpreted in a logically well knit and scholarly fashion the reputed hymn 'Purushasukta' of Rg Veda. He substantiates that the Prajapathi sought by the sages in the Vedas is in reality CHRIST and that Prajapathiyagam become an historical event in the crucifixion of Jeus Christ.
This Book is a revelation of facts not widely known. A revelation that biblical trutha are available in the ancient Indian scriptures. The author, a Sanskrit scholar offers conclusive evidence of the presence of Christian vision in the Vedas and Upanishads. It is the culmination of research and study spread over many years and addressed to seekers of truth, irrespective of faith and creed, everywhere. This book holds no particular brief, except to proclaim that truth is one, though expressed differently.That however requires differentiating the substance from the poetic imagination of language and it is in this context that the author provides totally fresh interpretations and insight. That is the charm of the book.
