You get this straight by reading Colossians 1:15-18, where The Son of God (BUDH) is born as the Cosmos, or all things (from the invisible God). While the Hebrew narrative is stated from the Male perspective, the Sanskrit is from the feminine perspective. Strength and Compassion are Fire and Water uniting to make relatives from the absolute. In the story, the Prince must choose to be a warrior, or a sage. He first chooses to be a sage, then promises to return to conquer the illusion and bring enlightenment to all. This is the Bodhisattva, or returning compassion to free people from suffering, which is the very story of Christ as the returning King. The Hebrews thought King David would return as a conquering prince. Instead, he returned as a child to become Prince of Peace. It's the same story. No difference.
Prajapati means Lord of People. BUDH means to awaken to truth (Sattva). Maya is the lower six realms of Time / Space, or the lower six dimensions. This is the lower Gunas of Rajas (passion / time) and Tamas (form / ignorance. Both Sanskrit and Hebrew are two sides of a three part language, with Greek / Latin comprising the Western (son) from both Father and Mother. Yama in Hebrew means, "Head West." Bodhidharma. In Sanskrit, Yama is the ruler of the underworld (Yahweh) and Satan is Mara. Manu is Mankind, or the Sanskrit word meaning, "To Think." Yama literally means, self-control, or what Yahweh was as ruler of the underworld for the Hebrews.
Put this together and all rulers, powers, thrones and authorities are in the Son (all of us). Again, this is found in Colossians 1:15-17. Rulers and thrones are Satan (conscience), Yahweh / Yama (Sub-conscious / underworld) and Manu as the conscious Jiva / Atman. Ishvara is the Lord collectively, or chariot driver. Each person is given the lordship of their own avatar (buddha body). We are each Kings. The essence of the entire story is to use the personifications as Yadims, or objects of veneration to see the truth behind the symbolism, eventually awakening (BUDH) to your higher nature as the one the stories are about.
As you watch, I hope this adds value to your own BUDH! Thank you for the thread. Maybe I should do a thread on this topic. I don't think many people realize this at all.

Hi there,
Yes, for me, when watching the series it was apparent that it is the same story as that of Jesus. I found myself trying to convince myself that this very observation, that the stories are the same, are reason to believe they are just stories. I think your explanation adds details that help to see that it is much more than a story and even if it is not historically correct, what survived the test of time is the message you outlined here. I especially resonated with this part:
“Each person is given the lordship of their own avatar (buddha body). We are each Kings. The essence of the entire story is to use the personifications as Yadims, or objects of veneration to see the truth behind the symbolism, eventually awakening (BUDH) to your higher nature as the one the stories are about.”
I learned so much from this series and as you alluded to, I had noticed that his mother’s name was Maya. I never knew that.
I also never knew the details behind why or how he was kept away from seeing disease, old age and death, so that was interesting and helpful for my understanding.
Again, regardless of if it was historically correct, it opened my eyes in the same way that the new testament opened my eyes about Jesus.
I walked away feeling like this story was about me and also that The Buddha in the story is with me.
If you start a new thread, please let me know………Thanks! Please feel free to use this thread. I would like that!
