[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I am a VP in an IT related field. I currently have five Hindus working for me. I also had a few Jains work fir me too. Going to a party tonight at my Hindu neighbors house. Been to Hindu Weddings.

Most explained there are many Gods in Hindu. But the Gods are not human. More like a Greek God. The concept of believing that someone who is human can also be a God is unusual. They assumed Jesus was a God similar to what they believe a God to be. But were unaware he was a living person also.

Most of my Hindu employe do Christmas presents and even Easter Egg hunts if they have kids. But kinda a cool crazy mash up.

In fact this Valentine's Day my Hindu manager was surprised their is a St. Valentine who was a real person. She Wikipedia it in front of me

And I know what most Christians believe about Hinduism because of the 5 Christians and 2 Jewish people that I work with.

You are viewing their thoughts from your Western Christian perspective of - how could they possibly not believe what I do! I’m so shocked and confused!

Like I stated before your belief and your understanding of what you believe is factual history that you believe can not be disputed is irrelevant. You do you.

I feel sorry for your employees. The way you keep trying to prove your religion to them sounds a lot like proselytizing. It’s got to suck having a boss like that.

Also Hindus very much understand venerating a great person/saint AS God. In Hinduism you also treat your parents, guru and guests AS God. So believing in Jesus AS God is not hard to believe.

It is strongly recommended to have a personal god. Ishta Devata. This personal god is someone we as humans can relate to and love. Stories about this personal God facilitate our ability to form this deep connection spiritually. 
Most Hindus see Jesus as the Ishta Devata of Christians.

The Truth, great Cosmic creator, Ultimate Reality, what most call God what Hindus call Brahman is impersonal and beyond the understanding of our average human minds. That’s why we have Ishta Devatas to help guide us in understanding this vastness.

Your employees are probably confused as to why it’s so important to you that they believe Jesus was a real person. Whether he was real or not should not be the deciding factor of your connection to God and it certainly doesn’t change Brahman for them. But they probably do think it’s odd if you believe that Brahman- the creative principle that lies throughout all time and space, everywhere and in every thing - is the same as a human named Jesus.
