that sense one would think the extensive efforts to establish the genealogy ofJesus in both Luke and Matthew are to be understood, which are again notrecorded in Mark and John. Not are both geneologies proposed by Luke and Matthewnot in agreement with each other. Even if they were, the problem is that thewhole genealogcal section of the two gospels which aims to present the pedigreedescent of Jesus from the house of David David fails to do so being at variancewith the virgin birth accounts. It traces the ancestry of Joseph, while thewhole point of the Virgin Birth report of Jesus is that not Joesph but the HolySpirit is the father of Jesus. This as far as the Gospel research as far as thebirth of Jesus is concerned. If you study the empty grave reports, again: youwill find four Gospels reporting four stories not just contradicting butcompletely excluding each other.Conclusion:Take it from me who is working since years on a (forthcoming) book concerningthese matters: If you want to be frustrated, try to establish the historicalJesus. Based on the Christian scripture it is simply impossible. The Gospelaccounts are reliable neither historically nor sound theologically.

Vol.II,p.891Comment by <strong>Suhotra</strong> SwamiNovember 18, <strong>1995</strong>Before I did say that this question should not be answered here, but PrthuPrabhu's answer is so full of interesting details that who could complain.Rather than complain, all the <strong>Danda</strong>-ites are shouting for more!Comment by Atmarama dasNovember 19, <strong>1995</strong>Dear Prithu Prabhu, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to SrilaPrabhupada.Thank you for the information. I will certainly use them. But I also need toknow the Vaisnava calculation. I remember reading in CC that now we are in theSakabda era, and also Srila Prabhupada mentions some Bengal year. What is theprinciple of those calculations? I know that for us the Gaurabda ic accurate.What about the four yugas? I remember reading in Vedic Cosmography... that thereare some calculations that Kali-yuga started 3102 BC, so is there some someconection?Comment by Prithu das AdhikariNovember 23, <strong>1995</strong>
