Manilal C. Parekh

Manilal Chhotalal Parekh (1885–1967), a Gujarati convert to Anglican church, was an Indian Christian theologian, and the founder of ''Hindu Church of Christ'' - free from Western influence - opposing Western and institutional nature of Christianity in India.

He developed a new syncretistic Jesus-Yogi model, identifying himself as a Hindu disciple of Jesus Christ - although, Jesus never knew of Yoga, Parekh credited him with being a Yogi by birth. He authored several books, especially ''A Hindu's Portrait of Christ'' that constructed a portrait of Christ from a Hindu point of view. Provided by Wikipedia
