If you read my previous post, you can see that it is but a response to Jaej's claim that Jesus, because he declared himself to be God, should be considered different from Buddha.
Also , I have never stated that one should worship Krishna or Jesus simply because they have stated themselves to be God.
I have only said that there is a logical reason why Krishna or Jesus or others have claimed themselves to be God , and this can be understood from Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's "Hinduism and Christianity" . Even an understanding of Indian philosophy is suffice for this matter.
As a priest of the Saint Thomas Christian Church of South India once commented : "You cannot understand the teachings of Jesus if you do not know the scriptures of India."
