Sadhu Chellappa: Finding Jesus Christ from Vedas
Sadhu Chellappa is an avid writer, Christian evengelist from South India who has written 28 books in Tamil and English language. He has mastered the knowledge of the Vedas (Ancient text of Hindu scriptures in Sanskrit language) and the other Hindu scriptures. He teaches about a connecting link between Vedas and Jesus Christ.
Finding Jesus Christ from Vedas
His Life story:
Sadhu Chellapa came from a very religious family from Tamilnadu, India. He recalls his grandfather being a conservative religious person but his father being a little lenient. When he was at a very young, 1st World war was going on. The times were very difficult and his family was in search for a better livelihood. It was also the time of British Raj in India. Hindu caste system was very prevalent. The lower caste people were inhumanely treated by the Brahmins and the upper class people. While at the same time, the British did not discriminate between the high and the low caste and they welcomed anyone who would be ready to serve them. So his father who was well educated and respected in the society decided to embrace Christianity for the quality of life for himself and his family. By doing so, he also could please the ruling British empire.
His father was working with a Missionary who was from Britain. Everything went well until his father demanded a salary raise. In response to that, he lost his job. The family was stranded. They had nowhere to go. Even everyday food for the family became a challenge. One day, young Chellappa went to the temple to eat the food which was offered to the idols; he liked the temple and especially food. So every day, he would go to the temple to eat and while eating he would listen carefully to the shlokas recited by the priest of the temple. Soon he memorized many of the shlokas by heart. One day the priest saw and heard him reciting the same shlokas and was very impressed. He asked the young boy to come and help him in the duties of the temple. He readily accepted because that meant more food during the day and no starvation. Slowly people noticed him at the temple reciting shlokas and were very impressed. His fame grew and people also offered him gifts and food.
One day, he realized while reciting the Shlokas about a legend “Prajapati” (the lord of the people) which is mentioned in the Vedas. This historic figure was supposed to take the sins of the world and die for it. He also had to remain sinless and a wild thorny creeper on his head. He was to die for the sins of the world and resurrect. Sadhu Chellapa was really interested in this deity “Prajapathi” who is mentioned in Rig Veda as a “silent sufferer”. So he started searching for him. He asked many questions to other priests and Brahmans in the temples. He was determined to search out his Prajapathi. But he did not find any satisfactory answers. He was only 19 years old at that time and felt very disillusioned. So he thought to himself may be there is no God and everything is purposeless.
During this time, he met another atheist who had a long conversation with him that there is a god, but the world has many names to this god. People say there is a Christian god, a Muslim god, a Jewish god and thousands of Hindu gods, So it is better to believe there is no god. It makes more sense to just ignore God!
Some time went by, and his parents wanted him to get married. One of his Uncles insisted that he would marry a good Christian girl. He did not know why he believed that, but he agreed to it. So he married and had children. Life went on but he was not at peace, he started smoking, drinking and also went under a huge debt. Due to his ill habits of smoking, he suffered from TB. There was no proper cure in those days so he suffered a lot. On top of this he always had guilt in himself that he is neither a good husband to his wife or a good father to his children. Day by day the guilt of family, disillusionment from god and the tensions of debt led him to depression.
One day he was travelling in the train with all the problems and worries of his life and he thought of a way to escape from it. He decided to commit suicide. He went to the door of the gushing train to throw himself down. Right at that moment he heard a mysterious voice saying, “He that conceals his sin will never prosper.” This verse struck him to his core. He felt why he heard something like this? What was the purpose? Was there a message for him? As soon as the train stopped he got down and he saw a huge Christian gathering in an open place. He started walking towards it, thinking that Jesus Christ is a Christian and foreign god of the West. But he felt compelled to go there. In the meeting he heard the pastor speak about sin which he understood very well from his knowledge of Vedas. But then, the pastor said that only Jesus Christ, who is born of the virgin can take away the sins of world, for He alone is sinless and he is the atoning sacrifice on behalf of all the people. Sadhu Chellapa recalled that about “Prajapathi”, written in the Vedas too. He could not believe the exact connection. That night the pastor invited the congregation to come forward and accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. He ran in front, prayed and accepted Jesus into his heart. Since that day he started sharing his testimony and preaching the Word of God in all the places.

Gulshan Fathima Turned into Esther
Who is this woman? What made her to stand a Testimony for Jesus Today?
She is a Pakistani woman, her name is Gulshan Fathima.
This is an powerful testimony of how this woman from Muslim was came to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior!
Gulshan Fathima was born in 1952 to a wealthy and prominent family of Jhang in the Punjab, Pakistan.
Like a state named punjab in India, there is also a name stated punjab in Pakistan too.
Her mother died after the few hours at the born of Gulshan Fathima.
Her father was too worried but he consoled himself by seeing his daughter. At the age of six months she became ill with Typhoid Fever and as a result became paralyzed on her left side both legs and hand.
At the age of 14, in the search for a cure for her paralysis, her father brought her to England to see a specialist, who allegedly declared her beyond healing and recommended prayer.
[citation needed] From England, Gulshan Fathima proceeded directly on a pilgrimage to Mecca with her father and two maids. Esther later stated that despite not being healed while on Hajj she did not initially lose her Islamic faith.
His father loved her daughter and he didn’t go another marriage because of this only daughter, He was too worried about her daughter and at the age of 16 years he died.
Following her father’s death, She herself wanted to attempt suicide,she desperately called out to God, I walk to talk with the one who knew my circumstances and my need.
Driven by a vast emptiness and bitterness inside she cried aloud….. Suddently there was a light over her room, Astonished with Fear she asked who’s that?
She heard a low gentle voice saying, “My daughter dont cry I wont let you to die”, she thought that her father came in spirit and speaking with her. She asked is it my father who died..?
That gentle voice replied No, But You know well about me. You read about me and the miracles which i did in surah maryam in Quaran.
Is it Esa nabi she asked, He said “Yes JESUS Am He Who AM I”, also that mild gentle voice replied…”Dont Worry I will heal You” in a soft and gentle manner and disappeared.
She wish to hear that voice more and more….Her suicide thought gone away but her heart was filled with awesome joy and happiness peace in here heart. She get a new hope at that day that Jesus will heal me.
Daily she pray continuously to Jesus says Jesus Heal me. Days went, Months went Years went nothing happen, She goes through depression but she has a confidence that Jesus said He will Heal me.
Very early one morning, again she was suffered from severe body pain, she desperately calling Jesus to heal her or tell her if he could not, a light filled the darkened room and she became aware ofthe presence of twelve figures, led by another, brighter and larger than the rest. She relates the encounter as follows:
“Oh God,” I cried, and the perspiration broke out on my forehead. I bowed my head and I prayed. “Oh God, who are these people, and how have they come here when all the windows and doors are shut?”
Suddenly a voice said, “Get up. This is the path you have been seeking. I am Jesus Son of God, to whom you have been praying, and now I am standing in front of you. You get up and come to me.”
I started to weep. “Oh Jesus, I’m crippled. I can’t get up.”
He said, “Stand up and come to me. I am Jesus.”
When I hesitated he said it a second time. Then as I still doubted he said for the third time, “Stand up.”
And I, Gulshan Fatima, who had been crippled on my bed for nineteen years, felt new strength flowing into my wasted limbs. I put my foot on the ground and stood up. Then I ran a few paces and fell at the feet of the vision. I was bathing in the purest light and it was burning as bright as the sun and moon together. The light shone into my heart and into my mind and many things became clear to me at that moment.
I was miraculously healed and transformed by Jesus. After the vision I began walking up and down in my room, reciting the Lord’s Prayer, which I had received shortly before in my illumination encounter.
The sound of my movement alarmed my aunt, who assumed someone had entered my room, as myself couldn’t walk. Opening the door, the aunt had to come to terms with the reality of my healing. Although she and the other relatives were delighted with my physical transformation, but they did not appreciate the credit am giving to Jesus. My relationship with my family deteriorated and at one point and I had a gun put to my head. Nevertheless, after leaving home permanently, I engaged in a ministry of testifying “to the power of God to reach people who are behind the veil of Islam.”
Gulshan Fathima turned to Esther.Here She standing as a Testimony for Jesus today and preaching the Gospel who are behind the veil of Islam.
She return the autobiography of her life in the Torn veil.

Hidden truth behind Easter
Easter is a day that is honered by nearly all of contemporary Christianity and is used to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
But where does this word came from…. What is the connection between The Resurrection of Lord Jesus and this Easter…
“Ishtar”, which is pronounced “Easter” was a day that commemorated the resurrection of one of their gods that they called “Tammuz”, who was believed to be the only begotten son of the moon-goddess and the sun-god.
In those ancient times, there was a man named Nimrod, who was the grandson of one of Noah’s son named Ham.
Ham had a son named Cush who married a woman named Semiramis.Cush and Semiramis then had a son named him “Nimrod.”
After the death of his father, Nimrod married his own mother and became a powerful King.
The Bible tells of of this man, Nimrod, in Genesis 10:8-10 as follows: “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”
Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.
Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.
Semiramis had all of the parts gathered, except for one part that could not be found.
That missing part was his reproductive organ. Semiramis claimed that Nimrod could not come back to life without it and told the people of Babylon that Nimrod had ascended to the sun and was now to be called “Baal”, the sun god.
Queen Semiramis also proclaimed that Baal would be present on earth in the form of a flame, whether candle or lamp, when used in worship.
Semiramis was creating a mystery religion, and with the help of Satan, she set herself up as a goddess.
Semiramis claimed that she was immaculately conceived.
She taught that the moon was a goddess that went through a 28 day cycle and ovulated when full.
She further claimed that she came down from the moon in a giant moon egg that fell into the Euphrates River.
This was to have happened at the time of the first full moon after the spring equinox.
Semiramis became known as “Ishtar” which is pronounced “Easter”, and her moon egg became known as “Ishtar’s” egg.”
Ishtar soon became pregnant and claimed that it was the rays of the sun-god Baal that caused her to conceive.
The son that she brought forth was named Tammuz.
Tammuz was noted to be especially fond of rabbits, and they became sacred in the ancient religion, because Tammuz was believed to be the son of the sun-god, Baal. Tammuz, like his supposed father, became a hunter.
The day came when Tammuz was killed by a wild pig.
Queen Ishtar told the people that Tammuz was now ascended to his father, Baal, and that the two of them would be with the worshippers in the sacred candle or lamp flame as Father, Son and Spirit.
Ishtar, who was now worshipped as the “Mother of God and Queen of Heaven”, continued to build her mystery religion.
The queen told the worshippers that when Tammuz was killed by the wild pig, some of his blood fell on the stump of an evergreen tree, and the stump grew into a full new tree overnight. This made the evergreen tree sacred by the blood of Tammuz.
She also proclaimed a forty day period of time of sorrow each year prior to the anniversary of the death of Tammuz.
During this time, no meat was to be eaten.
By now, the readers of this tract should have made the connection that paganism has infiltrated the contemporary “Christian” churches, and further study indicates that this paganism came in by way of the Roman Catholic System.
The truth is that Easter has nothing whatsoever to do with the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
We also know that Easter can be as much as three weeks away from the Passover, because the pagan holiday is always set as the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox.
Some have wondered why the word “Easter” is in the the King James Bible.
It is because Acts, chapter 12, tells us that it was the evil King Herod, who was planning to celebrate Easter, and not the Christians.
The true Passover and pagan Easter sometimes coincide, but in some years, they are a great distance apart.
So much more could be said, and we have much more information for you, if you are a seeker of the truth.
We know that the Bible tells us in John 4:24, “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
The truth is that the forty days of Lent, eggs, rabbits,hot cross buns and the Easter ham have everything to do with the ancient pagan religion of Mystery Babylon.These are all antichrist activities!
Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.
These things bring the wrath of God upon children of disobedience, who try to make pagan customs of Baal worship Christian.
You must answer for your activities and for what you teach your children.
These customs of Easter honor Baal, who is also Satan, and is still worshipped as the “Rising Sun” and his house is the “House of the Rising Sun.”
How many churches have “sunrise services” on Ishtar’s day and face the rising sun in the East?
How many will use colored eggs and rabbit stories, as they did in ancient Babylon.
These things are no joke, any more than Judgement day is a joke.
I pray to God that this tract will cause you to search for more truth.
We will be glad to help you by providing more information and by praying for you.
These are the last days, and it is time to repent, come out and be separate.
The Resurrection of Lord Jesus- Luke 24
The Resurrection of Jesus.

1 But at daybreak on the first day of the week the womens took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb;
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were amazed and puzzled over this, behold, two angels in dazzling garments appeared to them.
5 They were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground. They said to them, “Why do you seek the living one among the dead?
6 He is not here, but he has been raised.* Remember what he said to you while he was still in Galilee,
7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners and be crucified, and rise on the third day.”d
8 And they remembered his words.e
9 Then they returned from the tomb and announced all these things to the eleven and to all the others.
10 The women were Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James; the others who accompanied them also told this to the apostles,g
11 but their story seemed like nonsense and they did not believe them.
12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb, bent down, and saw the burial cloths alone; then he went home amazed at what had happened.
The Appearance on the Road to Emmaus.*
13 Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles* from Jerusalem called Emmaus,i
14 and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred.
15 And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them,
16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast.
18 One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?”
19 And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,k
20 how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place.
22 Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning
23 and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive.
24 Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.”
25 And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke!
26 Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer* these things and enter into his glory?”
27 Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures.p
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther.
29 But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
30 And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them.
31 With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.
32 Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning [within us] while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?”
33 So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them
34 who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”q
35 Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
The Appearance to the Disciples in Jerusalem.
36 While they were still speaking about this,r he stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.”s
37 But they were startled and terrified and thought that they were seeing a ghost.t
38 Then he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do questions arise in your hearts?
39 Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”
40 And as he said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
41 While they were still incredulous for joy and were amazed, he asked them, “Have you anything here to eat?”
42 They gave him a piece of baked fish;v
43 He took it and ate it in front of them.
44 He said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and in the prophets and psalms must be fulfilled.”
45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures.
46 And he said to them,y “Thus it is written that the Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day
47 and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem
48
You are witnesses of these things.a
49 And [behold] I am sending the promise of my Father* upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.”
The Ascension.
50 Then he led them [out] as far as Bethany, raised his hands, and blessed them.
51 As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven.
52 They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy,d
53 and they were continually in the temple praising God.
Happy Resurrection – no more easter say HAPPY RESURRECTION
Resurrection – which means to raise from the dead;
Resurrection -which means bring back to life again.
Yes Jesus Rose from the dead.. He conquered the Grave…
Reasons-to-Believe-Christ-Rose-from-the-Dead
Jesus tomb is open still today…..
Easter did not always symbolize Christ’s resurrection from the dead and the meaning of Easter was quite different than what Christians celebrate today. The feast day of Easter was originally a pagan celebration of tammuz whose b’day is on december 25 where we celebrating the same day as x’mas….Easter is the renewal and rebirth of (Tammuz, Ashtoreth). Celebrated in the early spring, it honored the pagan Saxon goddess Eastre. When the early missionaries converted the Saxons to Christianity, the holiday, since it fell around the same time as the traditional memorial of Christ’s resurrection from the dead, was merged with the pagan celebration, and became know as Easter. The meaning of Easter was also changed to reflect its new Christian orientation.
Today, the meaning of Easter, for million of Christians, is that of honoring and recognizing Jesus Christ’s resurrection from the dead, and His glorious promises of eternal life for all who believe in Him.
Actually God hates this detetable creature Tammuz, Ashtoreth saying themselves as gods. Where we see the word Ashtoreth coming in many places of Old Testament.
So according to Catholics, Lent is derived from the 40 days Yeshua spent fasting in the wilderness, but it is admitted that the observance of Lent was unknown to the disciples and it did not find its way into the church until several centuries after the time of the Messiah. It should be noted that the 40 days of fasting in the wilderness preceded the earthly ministry of the Messiah, which lasted some three years, and was not connected in any way to his crucifixion or the Passover.
Ezek 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Weeping for Tammuz is the 40 days even followed by the Israelite’s on early days is really a hard thing to digest, leaving the real God and weeping for the creatures and man making God….:(
Jesus clearly mentioned in cross path Luke 23:28 says
Jesus turned and said to them, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.
So the 40 days of Lent is connected with the Babylonian goddess Ashtoreth/ Astarte/Ishtar (the origin of the word Easter), and the worship of Tammuz. Unlike Lent, both of these can be found in scripture:
Ezek 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
Ezek 8:15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
Ezek 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD’S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
2 Ki 23:5 And he [King Josiah] put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that burned incense unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the planets, and to all the host of heaven.
2 Ki 23:11 And he [King Josiah] took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entering in of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nathanmelech the chamberlain, which was in the suburbs, and burned the chariots of the sun with fire.
2 Ki 23:12 And the altars that were on the top of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king beat down, and brake them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.
2 Ki 23:13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.
Baal, Tammuz, Ashtoreth, Astarte and Ishtar are all connected with pagan sun worship. Note that Lent is a moveable observance, connected to and preceding the festival of Easter. Easter is celebrated on a day specified only by the Roman Catholic Church, and not the Bible, and is fixed based on the sun and the Spring or Vernal equinox.
ONLY THING WE NEED TO SAY IS SIMPLE DONT SAY HAPPY EASTER….. SAY HAPPY RESURRECTION
No More Easter hereafter Says HAPPY RESURRECTION
Satan lose all its Powers Its such fun to see such fun to see Satan lose

Pandita Ramabai – Founder of Mukti Mission
Pandita Ramabai (1858-1922)
“A life committed to Christ has
Nothing to Fear
Nothing to Loose
Nothing to regret” – Pandita Ramabai
Pandita Ramabai was a scholar, poet, visionary and an eminent social reformer. She lived during the times in India, when women were not allowed to study or work and were also considered lower than men. They had no role in the society except to marry and bear children for their husbands. Child marriages were widespread and the child widows were left to abuse and slavery from the family and society. They were considered as “curse” and they often lived terrible lives filled with agony and pain.
Ramabai was born to High caste Hindu Brahmin. Ramabai was 13 now. Her parents were getting ill and she had her older brother Srinivas. One other sibling had passed away. The country went through a huge famine in that time. People had nothing or very little to share. There came a time when there was no food at all for them to eat for days. They ate wild leaves and few berries occasionally if they found. Sadly, in that destitute condition too weak and sick, her father passed away. Before dying he took Ramabai and said, “Always go on in the path of God. Always make it your aim to serve God. I have given you into God’s keeping”. After this they travelled on, in few months the same conditions took her mother’s life.
Brother and sister were now left utterly alone. Ramabai began to lose her faith in the religion where she had suffered so much. They decided to give up their wanderings and come to Calcutta. Here, they were welcomed by the Hindu priests as they too were high caste Brahmins. They were amazed to hear Ramabai read the Puranas in Sanskrit. They were astonished by her wisdom. There were very few women who could read Sanskrit but Ramabai even knew its grammar. So they bestowed her with the highest known title of “Pandita” (Scholar) . Soon they were invited to give lectures and to visit places of learning.
The more, she studied the Hindu Scriptures; she became more unhappy and restless as she could not find peace and God. After all the struggles and pain she went through, his brother became ill and died too. Now, she was all alone in this world and so decided to marry. There was a lawyer who was not a Brahmin but was from a lower caste called “Shudras”, he loved Ramabai and had asked her to marry him many times before. So they both got married. This was very shocking and unheard of to her friends and relatives as Ramabai was a high caste Brahmin. But he cared for her and loved her.
One day Ramabai saw a small book in his husband’s library called the “Gospel of St. Luke”. It was in Bengali and she read it to the end. When she inquired about it to her husband, he said he had got it from the mission school. She wanted to know more and so her husband let a missionary come to their home to explain her about the book. This went on for some days, she felt very peaceful by reading this book. And she wanted to become a Christian which her husband would never agree to.
Just after 18 months of their marriage, Ramabai’s husband encountered Cholera and he died. They had a beautiful daughter named Manorama (joy of the heart).
As a Hindu widow, she had no place in her husband’s home so she took her daughter and set forth to go to her home state and came to Pune. Ramabai studied English here and also wrote a book called “Morals for women”.
One day, when Ramabai was reading in her home a little child widow came to her door. She was very sick. She had nowhere to go. Ramabai took her inside and cared for her. She took in this child like her own daughter. Now she knew what she had to do. She wanted to start a home for such widows where they will be loved and care for. Fired by this thought she tried to raise the necessary money but no one would give her any. She had so little of her own. It was a time of great disappointment for her.
But she had made friends with an English missionary Miss Hurford during that time. She was going home back to England and suggested that Ramabai can accompany her. Ramabai’s book had bought in little money, just enough to pay the passage for her and Manorama. Ramabai was very afraid crossing the ocean and go to a foreign land. But she knew that God was calling her and she had to go.
In England Ramabai and her daughter went with Sister of Mercy at Wantage. Here she found that her long pilgrimage to find God is over when she felt the love and compassion of Jesus Christ. She went to Cheltenham College and taught Sanskrit in return.
From here she came to America. She found American people very enthusiastic and helpful. She went and gave many lectures and wrote a book “High Caste Hindu Woman”. She started educating the West about the conditions of women in India. American women offered to help with her plan to start the home for widows. They formed Ramabai Association and promised that if she would start a school for the young widows they would help for 10 years.
Ten years seemed like a life time to her. She returned to India overjoyed to start her mission. When she came to Bombay (now Mumbai) she was welcomed by her old friends. They were happy to help Ramabai in her mission only if she would not teach them anything about the new God she had found in the West. Ramabai agreed to do so. She would herself travel around the country and bring back young girls who are widows suffering in pain and agony.
Ramabai had seen some land a little far from Pune in Kedgaon and brought it for the girls to stay. She started a school called “Sharda Sadan” (House of knowledge) in which she taught reading, writing, history and nature study. She started here with 20 girls. But that year they had famine. Ramabai herself set out to bring children who are hungry and begging. She brought back 200 of them. She built huts and let the new gals stay.
Ramabai also got 2 helpers, one Indian and other English, who shared her burden with helping young gals. She systematically taught the older girls first who in turn would take charge and help the younger girls. Gradually she had 2000 gals living in Mukti Mission (The home of Salvation).
For 20 years Pandita Ramabai went on working and caring for her large family. She passed away on 5th April, 1922. It has been more than 100 years since she started a humble beginning of Mukti Mission. Her vision still continues in the lives of many women and young girls today who have found hope and new life at Mukti Mission.

People must not only hear about the kingdom of God, but must see it in actual operation, on a small scale perhaps and in imperfect form, but a real demonstration nevertheless.”

Adam to Jesus
The Generation Chart
How many generations from Adam to Jesus? The answer begins in Genesis chapter five where the first ten generations are found, ending with Noah#10.
First Ten generations
Adam – Seth – Enos – Cainan – Mahalaleel – Jared – Enoch – Methuselah – Lamech – Noah.
“Noah was a just man and PERFECT(?) in his generations…” Gen6:9. – He was tenth, so this a clue to the three groups of ten generations leading to David.
We know we’re counting these first ten generations correctly because it agrees with verse 14 of Jude (calling Enoch the 7th from Adam), as well as Genesis 5 and 1Chronicles.
2nd Ten Generation list
The next ten generation list is found in 1Chr1:24, beginning with son Shem and ending with Abram#20. The 3rd list of ten generations is at the conclusion of the Book of Ruth, where we find that three generations have been ‘skipped’ (Isaac, Jacob, Judah), meaning Boaz was generation #30 and David was #33. This “precept” from the O.T. leads us to the conclusion of Jesus being generation #66.
Yes, just like the Books in the Bible, because Jesus really is the Word, the Son, the Seed, etc.
Of Noah’s 3 sons, it’s Shem who leads the way to Abraham, and of Judah’s 5 sons, it’s Pharez who leads the way to David. From David’s 20 sons we must decide which one leads to Jesus.
The 3 periods of 14 generations, Matthew 1:17, inspire some to a partial arithmetic solution of forty-two (42) generations, but fails to consider the skipped names in Solomon’s column or the nineteen names leading to Abraham. It is this reckoning which leads to a new, more significant, solution of 2 periods of 33 names instead of the 3 periods of 14.
Generation list
Sixty-six books in the Bible (no more, no less) and sixty-six generations from Adam to Jesus
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law..” Gal 4:4.
All the generations from Adam to David are thirty-three (33), and all the generations from Solomon to Jesus are 33. [Compare the symmetry logic with Matthew 1:17].

Revelations of Heaven and Hell by 7 Columbian Youths(1)
Revelations on Hell
(Luke 16:19) There was a rich man that dressed in purple and fine linen, who enjoyed luxurious living every day. In front of his gate a beggar named Lazarus was placed, covered with sores, and hungering to be fed crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores. The beggar died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried, and while suffering tortures in Hades, he looked up and from a distance saw Abraham with Lazarus in his bosom. So he called out, Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus to dip his finger tip in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this fire.
But Abraham said, Son, remember that you enjoyed the good things in your lifetime while Lazarus had the bad things; now he is being comforted here but you are suffering anguish. Besides, there is a great chasm fixed between you and us, so that those who want to cross from here to you are unable; neither can they cross from your side to us.
The Bible, the word of God, is very clear about the subject of heaven and hell. In this portion that we have just read, the Lord tells us about two places: Heaven and Hell, the condemnation or the salvation. There is no intermediate place. Purgatory does not exist. Limbo does not exist, where men exist for a while after they have departed from the Earth and then go to heaven; the Bible is very clear about that.
(April 11th 1995) God gave us a revelation that would change the trajectory of our lives.We were praying and were prepared to go out on a picnic later on that day. Suddenly around 10 am, a very powerful white light shone through one of the windows. When the light appeared, all of us immediately started to speak in tongues and were baptized with the Holy Ghost.
In that moment, all of us were astonished and fascinated with what we saw. That glorious light was illuminating the entire room. The light was much stronger than the light from the sun. In the middle of the light, we saw a host of angels dressed in white. These angels were so beautiful, tall, and very good looking.
In the middle of all those angels we saw something amazing — the figure of a Man. This image was a special being, a man who was dressed in a very white mantle and robes. His hair was like gold threads. We could not see His face because it was too brilliant. However, we saw a golden belt around His chest, with gold lettering that said:
“King of Kings and Lord of Lords .”
He was wearing pure gold sandals on His feet, and His beauty was without equal. When we saw the presence of that Man, all of us fell to our knees.
Then we started to hear His voice. It was very special and wonderful; every word drilled into our hearts like a double-edged sword; just like it is written in the word of God (Hebrews 4:12). He spoke to us in very simple but powerful words. We audibly heard Him say to us,
“My little children, don’t be afraid, I am Jesus of Nazareth, and I have visited you to show you a mystery so you can show and tell to towns, nations, cities, churches, and all places. Where I tell you to go, you will go, and where I tell you not to go, you will not go.”
The Holy Bible, the Word of God, says in Joel 2:28 “It shall come to pass after this that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh, your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.” These are the times that God is preparing for everyone.
Then something strange happened, a rock appeared in the middle of the room, and the Lord, who was with us, made us get on that rock. The rock was about eight inches above the floor, and a huge hole appeared in the floor. It was a huge, black, terrifying hollow or cavern. Soon, we fell on top of the rock and went down through the hollow in the floor. It was dark and it lead us to the center of the earth.
While we were in that gloomy darkness, we were so scared! We were so afraid that we said to the Lord, “Lord we don’t want to go to that place! Don’t take us to that place Lord! Take us out of here Lord!” The Lord answered us with a very beautiful and compassionate voice, “This experience is necessary so you can see and tell others.”
We then arrived at some caverns; at some horrible doors, like a labyrinth. We didn’t want to go inside. We noticed a terrible smell and a heat that choked us. Once we entered, we saw terrible things, frightful images. The entire place was engulfed in flames; and in the middle of these flames, there were SOULS of thousands of people. They were suffering in great torment. The sight was so horrifying, we didn’t want to see what was shown to us.
The place was divided into different sections of torment and suffering. One of the first sections that the Lord allowed us to see was the “Valley of the Cauldrons” as we called it, each of them was burning with lava inside. Inside each one was the soul of a person who had died and gone to hell.
As soon as those souls saw the Lord, they started to shout and screamed, “Jesus the Lord, have mercy on us! Jesus the Lord give me a chance to get out of this place! Lord, take me out and I will tell the world that this place is real!” But the Lord didn’t even look at them. There were millions of men, women and young people in that place. We also saw homosexuals and drunkards in torment. We saw all of these people shouting in such great torment.
It shocked us to see how their bodies were destroyed. Worms were coming in and out of their empty eye sockets, mouths, and ears; and were penetrating the skin all through their bodies. This fulfills the word of God written in the book of Isaiah and in Mark 9:44,
“Where their worm never ceases and the fire is not put out.”
We were just horrified at what we were watching. We saw flames about 9 to 12 feet high. Within each flame, there was the soul of a person that has died and went to hell.
The Lord allowed us to see a man who was inside of one of the cauldrons. He was upside down and the flesh on his face was falling in pieces. He remained watching the Lord intently; and then started to shout and call on the name of Jesus. He said, “Lord have mercy! Lord give me a chance! Lord take me out of this place!” But the Lord Jesus didn’t want to look at him. Jesus simply turned his back on him. When Jesus did this, the man started to curse and blaspheme the Lord. This man was John Lennon, the member of the satanic music group “The Beatles.” John Lennon was a man who mocked and made fun of the Lord during his life. He said that the Christianity was going to disappear and Jesus Christ would be forgotten by everyone. However, today this man is in hell and Jesus Christ is alive!! Christianity hasn’t disappeared either.
As we started to walk on the edges of that place, the souls extended their hands to us and begged for mercy. They asked Jesus to take them out of there, but the Lord would never even look at them.
Then we started going through different sections. We came to the most terrible section of hell, where the worse torments happen; the center of hell. The most concentrated forms of torment; such torments that a human being could never express them. The only people here where those who knew Jesus and the Word of God. There were pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and all types of people that had once accepted Jesus and knew the truth; but lived a double life.
There were also backsliders; their suffering was a thousand times worse than any one else. They were shouting and begging the Lord for mercy, but the word of the Lord says in the book of Hebrews 10:26-27, “For if we go on sinning willfully after acquiring the knowledge of the truth, there is no longer left any sacrifice for sins, but some dreadful anticipation of judgment and of a fierce fire that is to devour those who oppose God.”
Those souls were there because they preached, fasted, sung and lifted their hands in the church but in the streets and homes they were in adultery, fornication, lying, robbery. We can not lie to God. The Bible says that he to whom much has been given much also will be required. (Luke 12:48)
God then allowed us to see two women that had once been Christian sisters while on the earth, but they didn’t live a righteous life before the Lord. One said to the other, “You cursed wretch! It’s your fault that I am in this place! You didn’t preach to me a holy gospel! And because you didn’t tell me about the truth, I am now here in hell!” They would say these things to each other in the midst of the flames, and they hated each other because there is no love, mercy or forgiveness in hell.
There were thousands of souls who had known the Word of God, but their lives weren’t clean before the holy presence of the Lord. “You cannot play with God or with the flames of the hell either!” the Lord said. He also told us, “My sons, all the suffering on the earth concentrated in just one place is nothing, NOTHING compared with the suffering that a person has in the best parts of hell.” If it is that terrible for those who suffer least in hell, how much worse must it be for those in the center of hell, who once knew the Word of the Lord and walked away from it. Then the Lord told us that we that we could play with the fire on the earth, but never with the fire in hell.
We continued walking through different places and the Lord showed us many different people. We could see that all the people there had approximately six different type of torments. There were souls tormented by demons with all types of punishments. Another terrible punishment was their own conscience saying , “Remember when they preached to you, remember when you heard the Word of God, remember when they told you about hell and you laughed about it!” Their own consciences tormented them; just like the worms that crossed all over their bodies, like the consuming fire that was thousands and thousands times more hotter than we know. This was the reward that the devil has for all those who seek him and follow him.
The Word of the Lord says in Revelation 21:8 “As for the cowardly, however, and the unbelieving, and the fearful, the murderers, the immoral, those practicing magic arts, and idolaters, and all liars- their lot is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”
Next, the Lord showed us a man that had murdered six people. These six people now surrounded him, and were shouting at him saying, “It is your fault that we are all in this place, YOUR FAULT!” The murderer tried to cover his ears because he didn’t want to listen to them, but he could not avoid listening since in hell all your senses are much more sensitive.
Souls in that place were tormented with an intolerable thirst for water that can not be satisfied in any way; like the Bible story of Lazarus and the rich man. (Luke 16:19) The rich man in Hell wanted only one single drop of water, that would have been enough. The Word of the Lord says in Isaiah 34:9, “The streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch and her soil into brimstone; her land shall become burning pitch.”
In that place, every souls was in the middle of the fire. People saw mirages of crystal-clear rivers in the middle of the fire; but when they tried to reach them, the rivers turned into fire. They also saw trees with fruit that gave out water; but when they tried to take them, they burned their hands and demons would ridicule them.
Then God took us to a place much worse than the other places that we had seen. We saw the lake of fire and brimstone. On one side of that lake there was a smaller lake. In that smaller lake, there were millions and millions and millions of souls crying and begging the Lord to have mercy on them. They said to Him, “Lord please! Take us out of here at least just a little moment! Please give me the chance to go out!!!” However, the Lord could not do anything for them because their judgment was already set.
Among those millions and millions of people, the Lord allowed us to focus on one man whose body was half-way submerged in the lake of fire. The Lord let us understand and know his thoughts. The name of that man was Mark. We were amazed by the things this man said to himself, in his thoughts. We learned an eternal lesson when we heard the following thoughts, “I would give anything to be in your place now! I would give anything to go back to the earth just for one minute. I wouldn’t care if I were the most miserable, most sick, most hated, or the poorest man in the world, I would give anything to go back! Just for one minute on the earth.” The Lord Jesus was holding my hand. Jesus replied to Mark’s thoughts saying, “Mark, why would you like to come back to the earth even for just one single minute?” With a crying and tormented voice, he told Jesus, “Lord! I would give anything to go back to the earth just for one single minute simply to repent and be saved.”
When the Lord heard what Mark had said,
I saw blood come from Jesus’ wounds and tears filled His eyes as He said, “Mark, it is too late for you!
Worms are set for your bed and worms will cover you.” (Isaiah 14:11) When the Lord said this to him, he sank in the lake forever. Sadly, all those souls have no more hope. Only we on Earth have the chance to repent today and go to Heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ.
