1.The moon was in the constellation of Aldebaran and it was the 8th lunar day of the dark fortnight in 3127 B.C.
The blessed virgin, Devaki, was about to deliver a baby boy; Krishna was to be his name. His birth had been heralded by the astral formation of a Rohini Nakshatra, a most auspicious astrological sequence.
His father, Vasudeva was a carpenter. Unfortunately, a wise Brahmin had predicted to King Kansa, the ruler of Mathura, that a son born to Devaki would destroy him. Kansa ordered the death of all male babies on the day of Krishna's birth to prevent the prophecy from coming true. Luckily for Krishna, his father was pre-warned and fled with the child to Gokul where he could be brought up safely.
Hinduism has long worshiped the Holy Trinity of Brahma - the Creator; Vishnu - the Preserver and Shiva - the Destroyer. Krishna, it was believed, was the second entity in this trinity. Much like the second entity in the trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. The name Krishna is sometimes spelled as "Christna".
The entire story of Krishna was written in Hindu epic of 100,000 verses before 500 B.C.

Bethlehem, Judea, 7 B.C.
A triple conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in a given year was very rare indeed. This conjunction in which the two planets seemed to almost touch one another occurred on May 29th, October 3rd and finally on December 5th in the year 7 B.C.
The three Buddhist (*) wise men observing this astronomical miracle were convinced. A reincarnation had indeed arrived on Earth and it was finally time to meet him. They would then need to convince themselves that he was indeed the one that they were looking for ... They needed to visit Jerusalem.

And for every nation, there is a Messenger ... (Qur'an 10:47)
And verily, God has sent among every nation a Messenger (proclaiming): "Serve One God, and keep away from everything that is false". (Qur'an 16:36)
And, indeed God has sent Messengers before you; of some of them God related to you their story and of some God has not related to you their story... (Qur'an 40:78)
(Say) We make no distinction between any of them (Messengers and Prophets sent to mankind), and unto God we have surrendered. (Qur'an 2:136)
