Hindu/Eastern Gurus Exposed

Ref. Encyclopedia of New Age Beliefs

“Eastern gurus constitute a large class of Hindu occultists who have come to the West to spread the teachings of the false religion of Hinduism. The New Age Movement, with a collective following in the tens of millions, has also been powerfully influenced by Hinduism. In many respects, the philosophy of the New Age movement parallels that of Hinduism. Gurus teach practices such as altered states of consciousness, meditation, and yoga, and disciples are told they will achieve a form of spiritual ‘enlightenment.’ Most, if not, all gurus claim to represent, or incarnate, God and to offer higher forms of spirituality. Despite their claims to represent God or Jesus, the gurus’ teaching and practices are implicitly hostile to biblical theology and instruction. The Hindu gurus typically redefine Jesus Christ after their own likeness. Jesus becomes a teacher of Hinduism, a guru of the past who has been greatly misunderstood by Christians. The only Jesus the gurus praise is a Hindu Jesus. The biblical Jesus is either ignored or ridiculed or even condemned as a false Christ. Jesus taught He was the promised Jewish Messiah and the only incarnation of God, the one and only Son of God. Jesus claimed He was God (John 14:7;9) and He proved it by resurrecting from the dead. In all history, no Hindu guru has ever resurrected from the dead.”

The Bible warned about such people:

^“4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” – 2 Corinthians 11:4

^“6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:⁷ Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.⁹ As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” – Galatians 1:6-9

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ [In Greek literally “ego eimi” which translates as “I AM”; cross-reference with Exodus 3:14]; and shall deceive many.” – Mark 13:6

Interesting facts:

---

If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you can receive Him into your heart, and He can deliver you from darkness and sin and have your name written in His Book of Life.

If you are sincere, you can say this simple prayer to the Father (it doesn’t have to be word for word):

“God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. Please forgive me of all of my sins, just as I forgive others. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross, I believe in my heart Jesus is Lord and was raised from the dead and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in the Lord and GOD Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
