From an islamic perspective. We believe that 144,000 prophets have been sent to mankind. Hinduism is one of the oldest and has quite a few followers. I am sure they were sent a prophet but maybe who they call their dieties might of been prophets. Only Allah knows that best. I believe the kalki avatar what the hindu call it.. is highly posible the the mahdi. Who will descend at the end of times. Many people will claim to be Kalki. As will be many ppl claiming to be Mahdi and other false prophets etc. Looks like everyone is awaiting the messiah. Islam is waiting for ISa (jesus peace be upon him).. Christians awaiting Jesus peace be upon hom also.. The jews awaiting a messiah. Its just a matter of time before time tells everything.
I find it interesting you mentioned 144,000 prophets in Islam. Christianity has 144,000 mentioned in the book of Revelation.
Revelation 7:4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.
5 Of the tribe of Juda were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Reuben were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Gad were sealed twelve thousand.
6 Of the tribe of Aser were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Nepthalim were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Manasses were sealed twelve thousand.
7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand.
8 Of the tribe of Zabulon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.
I would love to see more "teaching" threads of this nature.
