Swami Abhedananda (Author)

In 1922, the author traveled through Kashmir and Tibet. It was a long and strenuous journey across a difficult terrain from the plains of India to snow-capped Tibet

The swami went first to Kashmir, then to Tibet. There he discovered material that sheds new light on the life of Jesus. In this book, he describes a land that had been hidden from Westerners for decades.

Includes extracts from The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Nicolas Notovitch.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The story of the swami's travels is both interesting and full of historical references. The book is replete with information about the spread of Buddhism in Tibet, China, Japan and Korea, and the life, manners, and customs of that area.

The work is further enriched by the inclusion of the unknown life of Jesus Christ in India, hitherto unpublished. In this view, Christ did not die on the cross but excaped to India.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hidden Treasure, September 18, 2000

This review is from: Journey into Kashmir and Tibet (Hardcover)

Although the bulk of this book is worth reading for its detailed description of the author's 1923 trip, its real value for me is in Appendix 2, which is the complete text of an English translation of a French translation of a Russian translation of a Tibetan translation of a document written about the life of Jesus in the Pali language. The document begins with Moses and the Exodus and describes the activities and travel in the East of Jesus from age 12 to 29. Jesus apparently achieved fluency in Sanskrit, Pali and Tibetan. Along with his Hebrew/Aramaic, probable knowledge of the ubiquitous Greek and maybe some Latin, this gives a picture of Jesus as a scholar more than a carpenter and establishes Buddhism as one foundation of Christianity.

This review is from: Journey into Kashmir and Tibet (Hardcover)

this book is one of a kind standing in line with others, documenting and proving, that jesus was in india and developed here his spiritual power. also books like Jesus The Book] or [[ASIN:091676687X The Lost Years of Jesus: Documentary Evidence of Jesus' 17-Year Journey to the East are telling us about this. some more scientific, some more in a way that ring true.....who ever is in search for the truth should read these books.

This is a very detailed account of a journey by a famous Indian Swami into the hinterland of the Himalayas. He makes amazing finds recorded on ancient scrolls at a buddhist monastery about Jesus's life before and after the crucifixion. Great read!
