1900-0000 Quote from the book Divine Knowledge through Vibrations (1992) by P.T. Rajasekharan and R. Venkatesan, Pages 73 and 74

Above this chakra is the Āgñyā chakra, which is a very, very important chakra, which is the Door, which is the Door of the Sahasrāra. At the Āgñyā chakra resides Mahāviṣhṇu.
Those who have read about Mahāviṣhṇu, in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa or in the Devī Bhāgavat[am], you will know what I am talking about. But you will not know when He incarnated and who He was.
He was nobody else but Jesus Christ.

If you read the Devī Bhāgavat[am] although you do not read such things, if you read Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇ, all such things are mentioned in it. His name was Mahāviṣhṇu. His Father was none other than Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa, the Virāṭ. The person He keeps talking about, His Father, is Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa.

Ādi Śhaṅkarāchārya, of course, the greatest son of our country has described it so elaborately, but those who call themselves also Hindus, do they know the word Kuṇḍalinī? While throughout in the Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇ, such a Great Sage, the one who has not read the Mārkaṇḍeya, I would not call him an Indian at all.
One of the greatest Sages of this country is Mārkaṇḍeya who has written a complete knowledge about the Devī to such a little extent, to such a small detail that you will be so surprised, `How He could see all these things? Did He enter into the body of Devī to find out these small small minute things?'

Two Great Powers are combined in Jesus Christ. The first Power is that of Śhrī Gaṇeśha, who is recognized as His Original Power, and the other is that of Śhrī Kārttikeya.
Because of this, the Incarnation of Jesus Christ is of complete Brahman Tattwa or Oṃkār.
Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa, He being the Father of Jesus Christ, bestowed a number of boons on Jesus Christ prior to His birth.
One of these boons was that, ``You would dwell on a plane higher than that of mine."
This could be explained to mean, that while the plane of Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa is the Viśhuddhi chakra, located at the base of our neck, the plane of Jesus is Āgñyā chakra, which is located at the junction of the optic thalamus.
The second boon granted by Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa was that, ``You would be the support of the whole universe."
The third boon was, that, ``You would be the first to receive one-sixteenth part of all the offerings made to Me in Pūjā."
In this way, after bestowing a number of boons, Śhrī Kṛiṣhṇa permitted Śhrī Jesus Christ to incarnate on the Earth.
You would understand these things better, if you read `Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa'. Śhrī Mārkaṇḍeya, the author of the Purāṇa has beautifully explained a number of such subtler points.
In the same Purāṇa, there is a graphic description of Śhrī Mahāviṣhṇu. If you would listen to this description while in meditation, you would notice that the description is of Jesus Christ only.

Auṃ! Reverence to the Adorable Viṣhṇu
May Viṣhṇu's Lotus Feet, which power have
To dissipate the woes wrought by the fear
Of existence, ......
......
...... may those same Feet,
Whose steps the earth, the sky, and heaven o'erpassed,
To sight appearing, purify your souls!

May He protect you, who is skilled to save
In every kind of sin impure; whose form
Within the bosom of the sea of milk
Upon the hooded snake reclines; and at
Whose touch the sea grows mountainous, its spray
Up-tossing from its waters by his breath
Disturbed, and into seeming dancing breaks!
