It is no doubt an interesting confluence of history. Even more so because Augustus Caesar’s reign is recognised for bringing peace through the doors of power in the region. The Romans did see Augustus Caesar as the ‘Son of God’ as well as the ‘Saviour’, terms that were subsequently used for Jesus Christ. Such remarkable ‘coincidences’ are known earlier as well such as the Buddha and Lao Tzu who were contemporaries and with quite similar teachings. It is generally known that Nolini Kanta Gupta, the foremost disciple of Sri Aurobindo, was Lao Tzu. There are periods of Time when certain beings and forces from the higher realms come together into the world to effectuate certain changes.
Affectionately,
