Jesus lived in India???

Take a look at this:

http://www.hindunet.org/alt_hindu/1995_Feb_2/msg00003.html

Nicholas Notovich wrote the book "The unknown life of Jesus Christ". In the ancient scripts he found, Jesus name was Issa, a prophet from Israel. Issa was well acquainted with Buddhist theology. According to Notovich, Jesus studied with Hindu and Buddhist masters in the far east.

Nicolas Notovitch, who found ancient scrpits in tibetian monastries which had references to Christ. The preachings of Christ are mostly based on the sacred Hindu book "The Bhagavat Gita", and the preachings of Buddha and had been to the Kumbha mela and Kashi and became a master of the advanced form or yoga named Kundalini.

Can this be true? Or is it hogwash?

I've known this for a long time. If you read what Jesus said and then read the lotus Sutra, you will see something shocking. Jesus was a Buddhist.

Jesus lived in Israel, but Thomas an apostle was killed when he was preaching in India.

the bible never said Jesus left Israel, but when he was a baby he left for Egypt because king Herod kept hearing the coming of the messiah would be born in Bethlehem. so he ordered all boys under the age of two in Israel to be killed. so the angel told Mary to take the boy and go to Egypt. after that he told to come back because the ones who wanted to kill him are now dead.

What about the missing years? From around 12 to 30 there is not account of Jesus in the bible.

Keep in mind that the bible never gave details on what Jesus did his whole life. A big part of his history is not known. They never explained what he did throughout his teens and early adulthood.

The New Testament Gospels are the worlds primary source of information about the life of Jesus. As most of you probably know the Gospels only tell us about His birth, His childhood up to about 4, then skips about 8 years, there is a short story when He is 12, this skips about 17 years, and at the age of 30 He starts to spread His word.

I heard that many of Jesus miracles were already performed by Siddharta Gautama( did I spell it right?), like walking in the water. Luckly there were not copyrights for miracles at that time.

I belive (in some rights) he was the first Buddha.I know at the time God like stories of Mithra and such where being tought,their is one source that states even Brahma priest where intiatied in the secret rights of Dionysus.That being said it's no suprise early Christian text such as the Gospel of Thomas have such a stong Buddhist Influence.It's very possible the Brahma brought the intitaition back to the Buddhist who in turn might have seen the rights of Dionysus.This is all just my peculation though,but very possible.

actually the bible says that if the world were to write books about Jesus the world would never contain them.

The thought the bible was about Jesus (ha ha).

it is, if people were to write about his 33 year life then the world could never contain them.

Here is a very, very interesting research article on this subject matter:

There was trade between India and the Middle east, so, Jesus could have gotten there through a caravan. This type of travel takes a long time. Jesus could have acclimated along the way.

I heard that about Mithra too. The Persian religion also resembles Christian, and the Egyptian religion too. The "holy water" thing came from Egyptian mysticism.
