Below is a brief extract from a VERY interesting article written by Bhaktisiddartha Dasanudasa and published on March 15, 2001 in the VNN Editorial entitled “Teaching Christians to Chant” which speaks about what Srila Prabhupada said about the relationship between Sri Krishna and Lord Jesus Christ!
"….Second, Srila Prabhupada authorized the chanting of the Holy Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Someone may argue that as a devotee, Jesus' name cannot have potency equal to the Holy Names of Krsna. However Srila Prabhupada refutes this idea by saying that chanting the name of Christ will revive people's God consciousness, implying the the name of Jesus Christ in fact does contain transcendental potency.
Of course, the name Christ is closely etymologically related to Krsna. This connection is so obvious that the Christians have erased the derivation of Christ's name from their histories. So the question of the origin and meaning of the name of Christ will stump any Christian scholar. More than that, Jesus Christ is a pure devotee of Krsna.
If we accept the theory that Jesus is an incarnation of Lord Brahma, he is also the ultimate param-guru of all Vaisnavas in this universe. This is worth contemplating, for it indicates that instead of neglecting Lord Jesus Christ, all Vaisnavas must give honor and worship to him as our original guru.”
