In the darkest moment of my life, a great fear came upon me - like a dark cloud. I was afraid to face death. But at this moment for the first time, I encountered God as a living light. The story I share here will help you to experience this new light. This light gave me hope and redefined my karma.
Like our Rishi, John the Baptizer dedicated his life to studying ancient scriptures. Centuries before, prophets (a messenger sent by God) had predicted that one would come to rescue mankind. John was told by God to proclaim that this very person was soon to come. The scriptures told them he would appear in the small town of Bethlehem.
Watch in the video below for the moment when several Jyotishis (wise men) give precious gifts to the baby Yeshu. They were watching the stars to see when he would arrive and had been guided by a star to find him. This Bhavishya Vani came true over 2000 years ago fulfilling a prediction made 700 years before. I learned that archeologists found a copy of these words from the prophet Isaiah that dates back long before the birth of Yeshu into this world.
Satguru Yeshu is referred to as “Jesus” in the video.
I used to feel that God was a distant deity and a mystery. Do you sometimes feel this way? Yeshu unmasked this mystery for me. He became a real and personal God who I can talk to each day. He offers to you the same gift of knowing God in a personal way as I do. Let me help you to understand …
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. John 1:10
So in scripture we discover that Yeshu was not just a man or a prophet but God on earth, our Creator! Wow that shocked me when I first understood this. It was also a surprise for the people who lived at the time of Yeshu. This truth was also revealed at the beginning of the book of John where we read …
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:1
Our Creator is no longer a distant deity. In fact he loves you and invites you to know him in a personal way.
12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, John 1:12
So we see from this story that Yeshu is offering us an opportunity to become a child of God to become part of his family. The reason God sent Yeshu was to show us the way to this amazing relationship with our Creator.
14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
Unless God communicates to you in speech or words or any other way, he remains a mystery. For many people, God remains a distant mystery. God revealed this mystery by sending Yeshu (Jesus) into our world. Jesus calls himself “God’s Son” in the sense that he is God in human form and has the closest relationship with God in heaven whom he calls his Father.

Final thoughts
From the story of John, we can see that God comes to us. The Creator God enters creation to interact with us.
This God in human form is now limited by time and space and he has to learn to live like us! For me God is not an image or a concept of the human mind anymore. But He is now real, and I can have a personal relationship with him. This friendship is also made available to you through Yeshu.
