Interesting stuff. Unfortunately her political views are unacceptable. What she says about Indian Aryanism is not all that wrong though.

Her thoughts about Christianity as a Jewish influence are fascinating.

Christianity is usually viewed as something unique; some people like those interested in yoga at least admit that there may be common features with Indian spirituality.

But looked at from a historical perspective, Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism in the first place, emerged from a time of Jewish religious fanaticism preceding the war with Rome. Some centuries later it was made a political instrument by a Roman emperor and for this reason eventually became a world religion.

During Christ's time of life there were probably dozens of similar prophets around in the same country, I don't have the statistics. And many more followed throughout the centuries, the most famous being Sabbatai Zwi in the 17th century whose emergence led to mass hystery in European Jewry, and a century later Jacob Frank in Poland who preached nihilism and deliberate breach of traditional religious rules. In order to provocate, the latter converted to Christianity while the former converted to Islam which was considered the supreme act of apostasy. Who knows whether Jesus was that much different? According to the few sources we have he must have been quite a radical.

Who knows, maybe Ariel Sharon will become the Messiah of the 3rd millenium after conquering the Arab world :-)
