Jesus and India - is there a connection.....

Of all the saints, mystics and spiritual masters, I have heard of till date.....one intrigues me the most- Jesus Christ. My curiosity arises not from what he spoke and preached.....but who he was??? His life???.


MY QUESTIONS:

  • The Holy Bible is also silent ......and mentions it as the unknown days of Christ. Why is this so...was it done deliberately......or was it out of mere ignorance.....
  • After the crucification there has been numerous Islamic, Buddhist and Hindu scriptures which have recorded accounts of travelling of a saintly man from the west.....to the far east.......why has Christianity chosen to deny it.....

SOME POSSIBLE ANSWERS:

According to Holger Kersten a renowned researcher.....Jesus came to India......during his teens.....in search of truth.....
Kersten provides irrefutable evidence to this fact.......from the writing in the Buddhist scriptures and certain excavation conducted by him in an around Jammu & Kashmir*. This can be understood from the fact that at that time (and possibly even now)..... India was the powerhouse of spiritual knowledge. Supported by kings....and their subjects...... spiritual activities were given the highest priority in their daily life.

This is the reason why certain teachings of Jesus have marked similarities with Hinduism and Buddhism.

After crucification

Not only did Christ survive the Crucifixion, he travelled with his mother (Mother Mary) to India and finally died at an old age. The tomb of Jesus still exists in Kashmir. Accounts of his second arrival to India can be found in the Bhavishyat Mahapurana (a hindu scripture written in Sanskrit) and also in writings of Mullah Naderi.

What pains me is the fact that proponents of Christianity have chosen to ignore these irrefutable truth for such a long time and possibly will do it in the future......but why.......do they consider that associating christianity with the religions of the east would make it inferior........or is it something else........
Christianity as a religion is as good as any other religion in any part of the world. It is the acts of some people and their vested interest that hide the truth from coming out.

But ...... as they say........ truth has its own way coming out..........
Sooner or later !!!!
* The only trade link available between India and the west was through the Silk Route..... men and material passed through this route only.
