Yes, very interesting. ALthough Krishna doesn't mean "annointed one" it means "dark skinned one" because according to the story Vishnu incarnated into both a light skinned one (Balrama) and a dark skinned one (Krishna) who were to kill two different demons. Krishna of course goes beyond the stories and is found in the Mahabharata and is the form of God that speaks in the Bhagavad Gita. \n\nBoth Christ is said to be an incarnation of God and so is Krishna. In India they usually refer to Jesus as Isa or Yeshu (Yeshu in most of the south and in Kashmir, and Isa in the north...primarily influenced by Muslims who also refer to Jesus as Isa, but probably was called Yeshu before that). There are some sects and denominations that have Yeshu as being an incarnation of Vishnu, too (like Krishna, Rama, and the Buddha). Other Hindus see Yeshu as a great guru. In Kashmir, where one of the first Christian churches outside of Judea was founded (an undisputed fact in Christian history), there are some Buddhist and Hindu groups that claim that Yeshu survived the cross (somehow) and that he came back to live out his life and study with Hindu or Buddhist monks and teachers and died in Kashmir (there is even a tomb there). So I guess that's my interesting story to share with you as a way of saying thanks for sharing the interesting information about Christos, Kristo, Cristo word similarities. Not sure if there is a direct connection, but it is interesting.\n\nThanks again for sharing.\n\nPeace.

NO...\n\nAt Japanese shrine, the Netaji is god\n\nTokyo, July 30: At the Renkoji temple here, the Indians and many Japanese who come visiting know of only one god: Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. \n\nIn a small patch of green outside the Japanese-style shrine in Suginami residential district is a simple but elegant bust of Bose, who was undoubtedly one of the most popular products of India's independence movement.\n\nAfter his reported death in a plane crash in Taiwan in 1945, an event still shrouded in mystery, his ashes were said to have been brought to the shrine. And over the decades, Renkoji temple has become a pilgrimage point for thousands.\n\nEvery day, someone or the other -- Indians or Japanese or both - make it to the shrine to have a glimpse of the grey colour bust of a bespectacled Bose, wearing his military cap, erected on a platform.\n\nMost visitors stand reverentially before the bust. Some bow their heads, as if praying to god.\n\nClose by, a rectangular black stone with Japanese inscription reads: "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose: Monument". \n\nThere are also two separate stone plaques on the walls that state that three Indian prime ministers and a president have been to the shrine: Rajendra Prasad, Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Atal Bihari Vajpayee.\n\nThe caretakers of the temple refuse to speak about Bose. But a visitors' diary has several hand-written entries, by bothsIndians and Japanese, eulogising Bose, whose Indian National Army (INA) raised with Japanese help at one point looked set to militarily free India from the British Raj.\n\n"I am very lucky to visit this shrine. Great day for me," states an entry from Pulak Chakravorty of Bangalore.\n\nRana Gupta of Kolkata echoes him: "It is a very lucky day for me."\n\n"This is a great day of my life," adds P. Sharma of Ghaziabad near New Delhi. "At last I could see the place where the brave son of Mother India is sleeping."\n\nSushilkumar Shinde, former Maharashtra chief minister, pays his tribute: "My salute Subhash Babujee, who sacrificed his life for India."\n\nSudha of New Delhi is almost praying: "Please bless us!"\n\nSeveral entries are in Japanese language. Some of the visitors are from countries as far as the US, Chile and Germany.\n\nP.K. Mukherjee from South Korea states: "I am very excited to visit this shrine. We as Indians are proud of Subhash Chandra Bose, the patriot of India."\n\nAbhijit Dasgupta of Kolkata asserts: "I feel so proud to be here. Netaji will remain in our hearts for all time."\n\nSomnath Roy Choudhury, also of Kolkata, adds: "One of the great moments in life, paying respect to the greatest freedom fighter of India."\n\nG. Sanjivi Rajan says: "Our respects and namaskar to this great freedom fighter of India."\n\nSujoy K. Sanyal of Kolkata is emotional: "I feel I have come on a pilgrimage. I feel sad that we, in India, are forgetting about his sacrifices and ideas." Another Kolkata entry simply says: "I am overwhelmed."\n\nAbhijit Desai of Mumbai is all praise for Bose: "Thank you, Netaji, for contributing to India's freedom. You live in our hearts. India is proud of you. Jai Hindi!"\n\nSome have praised the Japanese government for maintaining the Bose bust and for helping to organise annual events commemorating his life and times. \n\nThere is one man, however, who has a different point of view.\n\n"This so called ashes of Netaji is a ... conspiracy," says A. Sinha of Kolkata, echoing the view of those who believe Bose never died in the Taiwan plane crash. "Our greatest hero is immortal... He was a victim of imperialism."

In some writings, it's called "Krishna ki Patrani" (Krishna's Queen). It's also called "Bansuri".

The Indian god Krishna too bears a tremendous resemblance to Jesus  in the story of his mission and his divinity. He was the incarnation of the Indian's supreme god Vishnu (the preserver and protector of the world) in the womb of Devaki. The Hindoo prophet Bala predicted that a divine Savior would "become incarnate in the house of Yadu, and issue forth to mortal birth from the womb of Devaci (a Holy Virgin), and relieve the oppressed earth of its load of sin and sorrow." Upon Krishna's birth, a great chorus of angles proclaimed "In the delivery of this favored woman, nature shall have cause to exalt." His birth was indicated by a star in heaven. Although of royal blood, he was born in a cave. He was presented with gifts of sandalwood and perfumes. His foster father was told to flee and hide him lest king Kansa might take his life. King Kansa had ordered all male infants born on that night to be slain. One of his first miracles was the healing of a leper. He was later slain and this resulted in an eclipse of the sun and a black circle forming around the moon. Spirits were seen on all sides and he descended into hell, rose again, and ascended into heaven with many people being witnesses to his bodily accent. He will have a "second coming" in the future which his followers continue await. There are countless other similarities with what is known today as "Christianity" even though his religion was well establish centuries before the birth of Jesus . The accounts of Krishna's childhood agree quite closely with the apocryphal accounts of Jesus' childhood. In the ancient epic poems, Krishna is simply regarded as a great hero, it was not until about the 4th century BC that he was elevated to the position of a god.

Thank you very much for informing me.  I honestly did not have a clu as to why Indians wore them.  I assumed it meant that you were married, but you have given me knowledge into a deeper aspect of it.  I will respect it more now, when I see someone with that.  I appreciate your elaboration and information provided.  I think people ask a lot because they honestly don't know why.  Especially if they are not Indian, because mostly all cultures don't ever do that.

Sorta kinda.  I am from that era.  I have definitely gone through that phase. I have my Mamas and Papas Cds and Peter/Paul& Mary, Doors, etc.  Lots of flowing shirts. I always keep my hair long.  Been into wicca, loooove candles and incense.  So, I guess I fit the mold, so-to-speak. But, you can only wear patchouli so many days of the week, ya know what I mean?  hehe
