Was Jesus in India? (video)
Wisdom Quarterly
It is the same story for the Buddha, Krishna, and Jesus in India
The Lost Years of Jesus
Nicolas Notovitch found documentation of Jesus' life in India in the Buddhist monastery of Hemis Gompa. There the Jewish radical was known as Saint Issa, "Best of the Sons of Men." He published the information in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ. It was then translated into English, German, Spanish, and Italian. Notovitch's account of how he discovered the work is that he had been laid up with a broken leg at the monastery. There he convinced the chief lama, who had told him of the existence of the work, to read to him through an interpreter. He thereby heard the detached verses of the Tibetan version of the "Life of Issa," which was said to have been translated from the exclusively Buddhist language Pali. Notovitch says he later grouped the verses "in accordance with the requirements of the narrative." As published by Notovitch, the work consists of 244 short paragraphs, arranged in fourteen chapters.

Fundamentalism in America
"Higher Ground" is Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, a coming-of-age drama. Set against the backdrop of the 1960s, when feminism reached its zenith, the film depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community in America. Inspired by the real life memoir of Carolyn Briggs, the film studies one woman's struggle with the love relationships in her life.High praise
