THE LOST YEARS OF JESUS IN INDIA

Your Jesus was here."
T H E GOSPELS record Jesus age twelve in the
temple. Then about age thirty at the river Jordan.
That leaves approximately seventeen years unaccounted for.
During those so-called lost years, the child
"increased in wisdom and stature," as Luke wrote.
But was it in the carpenter shop at Nazareth?
According to ancient Tibetan manuscripts,
Jesus secretly withdrew from the home of Mary
and Joseph at age thirteen. Young "Issa" joined
a merchant caravan. Destination: India and the
Himalayas.
At Juggernaut, "the white priests of Brahma
made him a joyous welcome. They taught him to
read and understand the Vedas, to cure by aid of
prayer, to teach, to explain the holy scriptures
to the people, and to drive out evil spirits from
the bodies of men."
• Buddhist scholars documented
"The Life of Saint Issa" two thousand
years ago.
• Nicolas Notovitch discovered the longlost document in 1887 at the Himis
monastery in Ladakh.
• Swami Abhedananda published a Bengali
translation of the Himis manuscript
in 1929.
• Nicholas Roerich quoted the same verses
in a 1929 travel diary of his Asian
expedition.
• And in 1939, a beaming lama at
Himis presented a set of parchments
to Elisabeth Caspari with the words:
"These books say your Jesus was here!"
