Bhagavad Ghita, Krishna and Christ

The following is a quote from wikipedia "The Bhagavad Gita" or "the song of God" begin quote.

The Bhagavad Gītā appeared later than the great movement represented by the early Upanishads and earlier than the period of the development of the philosophic systems and their formulation. The date and authorship of the Gītā are not known with certainty and scholars of an earlier generation opined that it was composed between the 5th and the 2nd century BCE.[11][15][16] Radhakrishnan, for example, asserted that the origin of the Gītā is definitely in the pre-Christian era.[11] More recent assessments of Sanskrit literature, however, have tended to bring the chronological horizon of the texts down in time. In the case of the Gītā, John Brockington has now made cogent arguments that it can be placed in the first century CE.[17] Based on claims of differences in the poetic styles some scholars like Jinarajadasa have argued that the Bhagavad Gītā was added to the Mahābhārata at a later date.[18][19] 
end quote.


So, if Krishna was potentially in the first Century CE (Christian Era) and since Jesus historically in India was known as Saint Issa it is potentially possible that Jesus was first "Krishna"(notice the similarity to the word Christ) after being Jesus and resurrecting his body from the dead. And possibly after being Krishna he and Radha "Mary Magdelene" had many children and after being a Guru in India until he was 85 passed on. On the possibility that this is true, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism and Christianity and even Islam might have much more in common than anyone previously thought.
