Jesus' missing years in the Himalayas

Jesus Lived in India

But how could Lord Jesus be in Buddhist India, Tibet, or Ladakh when he was busy trying to save Palestine? Well, you see, children, he wasn't born lord. Young Yeshua had to earn his stripes by ditching the Land of Judea, joining a merchant caravan, and traveling East to India/Tibet, arriving at a Jewish business outpost near Kashmir where others did business and young Jesus was exposed to the Wisdom of the East, meeting Buddhist lamas at Hemis Gompa, a lamasery he would study at for years, meeting Hindu masters and learning about the Vedas and other esoteric knowledge, mastering yoga, the siddhis (supernatural abilities), and realizing his mission was to teach in the Middle East not the Far East. He was already a renowned troublemaker in and around Kashmir, having strong views proclaiming the peace of the Monad (GOD, Brahman, the One True godhead of this universe) and realizing his own divinity as a human, a devaputra among humankind.

Journey Into Kashmir Tibet

Scholar Holger Kersten summarizes the findings of others like Russian Christian Nicolas Notovitch who found definitive documented evidence of where Jesus was for the 18 "lost years" excluded from the official Bible canon and Swami Abhedananda (author of  and Why a Hindu Accepts Christ and rejects Churchianity), corroborating Notovitch's claims. This new information aligns with what the Gnostics, Essenes, and Nazarenes taught about a wise teacher who returned from the East a vegan, preaching love and oneness, and the cult mysteries of initiation to realize the death of the ego and the kingdom of GOD here and now, contradicting official church teachings more interested in controlling Romans and other followers than liberating anyone or telling them that they, too, are divine.

Who copied whom: Gnostic Jesus or Buddha?

They didn't understand, Jay. - I know, Sid

(Primeval Archives) The Buddha ("Awakened One") and the Gnostic Jesus ("Anointed One") were teaching the same escape route they somehow both knew. Who took it from whom?

Answer

*Irony* Well, clearly Buddhism, which existed five or six centuries before Jesus was born, must have stolen the idea from Christianity by somehow finding a way to time travel centuries into the future, seeing how popular Christianism would get then absconding like a time bandit with Gnostic papyri under his arm back to South and Central Asia (India and Afghanistan). Wait, is there time travel yet? When will that arrive?

So Jesus Christ must have heard the teaching, seen the Buddha's finger pointing at the path (as preserved in the Buddha-Dharma and the Sangha, the Teachings of the Buddha and the monastic institution the Buddha set up to preserve and practice those Teachings so that the world would never be bereft of path or enlightened disciples, who are the unexcelled source of merit for the world).

Primeval Archives does such a great job presenting the case then falls on his A.I. face by claiming that all the evidence that Jesus spent the missing 18 years of his life between the time he was a teen then a teacher traveling to India, Tibet, and the mystic East. All the evidence in the world wouldn't convince someone who has already made up his or her or their mind.

Jesus Lived in India

Is there evidence? Because if there is, then the question answers itself about who borrowed from whom. The BBC says that Jesus was a Buddhist monk during a part of those "missing years," which did not really go missing at all, but rather were buried and erased by the institution. Churches, councils, Vatican, clerical organizations, they never heard it, just as they ignore the Apocrypha, a wondrous source of Christian and pre-Christian knowledge. The lost Gnostic Gospels cannot now be ignored, nor could the parallels between what may spiritual traditions seem to be trying to say in their own way.

• Nicolas Notovitch, Russian Christian, found written documentation of Jesus (St. Issa) in Tibetan monastery Hemis Gompa, Ladakh
• He returned to West, was met with shock and doubt. Then someone claimed to go ask at the monastery, which denied knowing anything about a book documenting Jesus (St. Issa) training there then returning to Palestine (ancient Israel) before getting in trouble again, getting crucified, cut down and released by bribed Roman guards, and returning to India to live out his life till the age of 80 in Kashmir, where he is buried in the Jewish style
• Indian Swami Abhedananda heard about this, traveled to Ladakh, was shown the book (because he was not a Westerner who would steal it like others were likely to do), corroborating all that Notovitch had claimed

Jesus was a Buddhist monk (BBC documentary)

Truth is truth, and no one is owner of it. What the Buddha, the Awakened One, realized he shared with the world like an openhanded teacher. Jesus may have had a much smaller circle of special disciples (Apostles), but he certainly tried to tell people of his visions, realizations, and setting forth a way of following in his footsteps. It's a terrible pity the official Church took that, stripped it of its vital call for real gnosis (direct personal experience, shamanic realization, seeing to believe) and replaced it was a pitiful shell of obedience to authority, mindless learning by rote, and blind faith.

We are responsible for our own actions, which is our karma (deeds). We reap what we sow, which is to say we harvest what we plant. As is said in Buddhism, "No one saves us but ourselves; no one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path; buddhas [awakened teachers] only point the way."

  As for a historical Jesus, maybe, but surely most Christians (or perhaps they should more rightly be labelled Jesuits or Jesevites) would not like to think that their all-powerful, supreme controller, creator of the entire universe were an avatar of a neighboring faith, in spite of the fact that Jesus practiced Hinduism to some extent or was exposed to it in his 18 years of travel in Tibet and India (Nicolas Notovitch). However, the title avatar may well apply to Lord Krishna, the central object of veneration and faith in popular Hinduism today, sometimes rivaling Lord Shiva and the great Goddesses Lakshmi, Sarawati, Parvati, Kali, Ma Durga, and his consort Radha.]

For instance, on one occasion, the Buddha's mother, the first Buddhist nun in history, comes to the Buddha seeking clarification on some matter or other, which would never have happened IF such additional rules had been laid down by him. The fact that she asks what she does, as documented in a vinaya backstory preserved among the ancient Buddhist texts, proves the Buddha didn't do it. And the fact that monks at later Buddhist councils added such sexist and oppressive stipulations is tantamount to crimes against humanity and the Sangha, maybe even a "defeat" (parajika) offense of a schism between monk and nun communities.

(PM) A long-awaited excavation by Italian archeologists has finally taken place beneath the floors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, Palestine.

The church is believed to have been built in part upon the site of Jesus’s tomb, which the Gospel of John describes as having been “a garden.”

Their dig uncovered evidence of 2,000-year-old olive trees and grapevines, suggesting the site had indeed once been used for agriculture [if not gardening].

The Unknown Life of Jesus

“At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid.”- John 19:41

As a literary device, this description of the burial place of Jesus Christ is effective; it offers a contrast between the site of Jesus’s death at the crucifixion site of Calvary (also called Golgotha, both derived from the Latin for “place of the skull”) and a fertile garden, brimming with life.

It also provides a cyclical shape to the final chapter of the Christ [the Anointed One's] narrative, which begins with his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane. So, as storytelling, this single sentence from the Gospel of John (the most recently written of the four canonical gospels, most scholars agree) has a substantial power to its brevity.

Unknown years of Jesus (Nicolas Notovitch)

But as a historical record of where, exactly, one of the most famous men [or overhyped propaganda figures beginning with a historical figure then blown all out of proportion with myths, comforting fables, and voluminous imperial Roman psyops] who ever lived was laid to rest, one would be forgiven for finding it sorely lacking in detail.

Yet, thanks to a new discovery reported in the Times of Israel, that sentence might be key to confirming where the real [Jewish, Nazarene, or Essene] man at the center of the Christian faith was placed after his famous [imperial Roman torture practice of] crucifixion. More

We've been LIED to about Christianity

Young Jesus (known in Buddhism as Saint Issa) in India and Tibet

Does curel, bloody black magic animal sacrifice really undergird all of modern Christianity?

.

The Church knew, buried truth

In 1887, Russian Christian war correspondent Nicolas Notovitch claimed that while traveling through the Himalayas with other Russian, he was thrown from a horse and broke his leg.

The others left him to recover over the winter at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery known as Hemis Gompa in Ladakh (now part of India), he was shown written documentation called the "Life of Saint Issa, Best of the Sons of Men" (Isa being the Arabic name of Jesus in Islam) by the Buddhist abbot [30][31][32].

Christian Nicolas Notovitch

Notovitch's story, with a translated text of the "Life of Saint Issa," was published upon his return to the West in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ (Unknown Life of Jesus Christ) [5][32].

 

According to the Buddhist scrolls, Jesus (Issa) abandoned Jerusalem, Palestine/Israel, at the age of 13 and set out towards India, "intending to improve and perfect himself in the divine understanding and to studying the laws [the Dharma or Doctrine] of the great Buddha."

The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

He crossed Punjab and reached Puri Jagannath, where he studied the Brahmin priests' Vedas (sacred text, lit. "Knowledge Books").

He spent six years in Puri and Rajgir (the famous Buddhist city Rajagriha, site of Vultures' Peak and Venuvana/Veluvana Vihara), near Nalanda (site of the world's first university, a Buddhist monastic learning center in India), an ancient seat of Brahminical/Vedic learning.

Then Issa/Jesus/Yeshua went up into the Himalayas and spent time in Tibetan lamaseries, studying Buddhism [30], and continued on through Persia (the Aryan Land of Iran), and returned to Jerusalem at the age of 29.

Christendom shaken

Jesus Lived in India: Unknown Life (H. Kersten)

Notovitch's writings were immediately controversial, and German scholar Max Müller stated that either the Buddhist lamas at the lamasery had deceived Notovitch (or played a joke on him), or he had fabricated the evidence [30][33][34].

Müller then wrote to the Buddhist monastery at Hemis, and the [replacement] head lama replied that there had been no Western visitor at the monastery in the past 15 years and there were no documents related to Notovitch's story [35].

J. Archibald Douglas then visited Hemis Gompa and interviewed the [new] head lama, who stated that Notovitch had never been there [35].

Indologist Leopold von Schroeder called Notovitch's story a "big fat lie" [36]. Wilhelm Schneemelcher states that Notovich's accounts were soon exposed as fabrications and that to date no one has even had a glimpse at the manuscripts Notovitch claims to have had [5] [which is untrue since Swami Abhedananda traveled to Hemis and was allowed to see, touch, and confirm their existence].

The Jesus Conspiracy: Turin

Notovich defended himself by responding to these attacks and claims [37]. However, once his story was reexamined by historians – some even questioning his existence – they claimed Notovitch confessed to having fabricated the evidence [36].

American scholar Bart D. Ehrman states that, "Today there is not a single recognized scholar on the planet who has any doubts about the matter [other than German scholar Holger Kersten and his colleague German Indologist Gunter Gronbold, author of Jesus in Indien]. The entire story was invented by Notovitch, who earned a good deal of money and a substantial amount of notoriety for his hoax" [38].

• Jesus Lived in India: His Unknown Life Before and After the Crucifixion (Holger Kersten)

However, others deny this. Notovich never accepted any accusations against him – that his account was a forgery or any such thing.

Although not impressed with his story, Sir Francis Younghusband recalls meeting Nicolas Notovitch near Skardu not long before Notovitch visited Hemis monastery [39].

Swami Abhedananda

In 1922, the President of the Vedanta Society of New York between 1897 and 1921 and the author of several books Swami Abhedananda went to the Himalayas on foot and reached Tibet, where he studied Buddhist philosophy and Tibetan Buddhism.

He traveled to Hemis Gompa and allegedly found the manuscript Notovitch claimed and translated, which was a Tibetan translation of the original scrolls written in the exclusively Buddhist language Pali.

One of the lamas said that it was a copy and that the original was in a monastery at Marbour near the Tibetan capital of Lhasa.

• The unknown years of Jesus

After Abhedananda's death in 1939, one of his disciples inquired about the documents at the Hemis Gompa but was told that they had disappeared [40][41] [which is to say moved for safety so that Westerners would not come kill everyone and steal them to hide the truth in accord with their sectarian religious views]. More

Could Jesus (Issa) have been a yogi?

Jesus in the Himalayas: The greatest story NEVER told

The sound of the universe: aummmm

(Asangoham) Aug. 27, 2025: For centuries, the life of Jesus [the Nazarene] Christ has remained one of the greatest mysteries in history [and mythology].

But what if the story we’ve been told were incomplete? What if Jesus were not only [a] Son of God [devaputra, offspring, "reborn among devas"], but also a mystic, a yogi, and a seeker of wisdom in India [Tibet] and the Himalayas?

This documentary-style video explores the fascinating question: Was Jesus actually a yogi?

Nicolas Notovitch found the written evidence.

From the [lost and] 18 missing years of Jesus’ life never mentioned in the Bible, to mysterious scrolls discovered at Hemis Buddhist Monastery (Gompa) in Ladakh, to striking similarities between the teachings of Jesus and those of Hindu and Buddhist masters — this is a journey into the lost side of history.

We’ll look at legends that describe Jesus (called Issa) traveling through India, Nepal, and Tibet, studying meditation, yoga, and learning Eastern philosophy.

We’ll examine the parallels between the Sermon on the Mount and yogic principles and explore whether Christ-Consciousness [ego death] and yogic samadhi (mental coherence, stillness, super-consciousness) point to the same ultimate truth.

Universalism, syncretism, ecumenicism

Could Jesus’ miracles be understood in the light of natural yogic siddhis? Could his message of love and union (the literal meaning of "yoga") have been influenced by the great traditions of Vedanta and Buddhism? Or do these similarities point to a universal truth hidden across cultures?

Unknown Life of Jesus Christ

Whether one is a Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, or simply curious, this video will challenge all we thought we knew about Jesus (Issa), while offering a deeper look at the spiritual connection between East and West.

Join us as we explore the hidden life of Jesus, the mystery of the "missing years," and the possibility that the greatest figure in Western history was also one of the East’s greatest yogis. #jesus #yogi

BBC: Jesus Was a Buddhist Monk

(BBC documentary) Jesus Christ was a Buddhist Monk

The Buddhist connection

Meditating in India is mind blowing. Try it.

Why would there be a connection between Christianity and Buddhism, which is five or more centuries older? Jesus spent time as a Buddhist monk, which helped him realize his divinity (deva, "light being," nature or potential), all of our divinities. To ever say one is "GOD" will get one unalived for ridiculed in society, but that is what the Christ, the Kristos, the Annointed One (smeared with entheogens, according to Dr. Hillman).

Whether Jesus said so or not, whether this Gnostic gospel is literally one historical figure's words, whether or not the figure into whose mouth these words are being put by the Gnostic Christians, Buddhism speaks this same way its "Higher Doctrine" (the Abhidhamma or the "Dharma/Doctrine in Ultimate Terms").

• Theravada Abhidhamma
• Study comparative religion

The Buddha was massively influential.

In conventional terms, "reality" (self/atta and the world/loka) is name-and-form (nama-rupa), body and mind, or composed of physical (corporeal) and mental (mind) components. But in ultimate terms, it is impersonal (anatta) materiality and mentality composed of kalapas (particles) and cittas/cetasikas (mind-moments and mental-concomitants).

This is all found alluded to in The Heart Sutra, the culmination of the Prajna Paramita or "Perfection of Wisdom" literature, reaching Sophia. The core of that text are explained very well in the Theravada school's "Five Aggregates clung to as self" teachings.

What are we? What is anything? The "self" or "essence" (figuratively, the "heart") of any thing is eightfold. But this eight is compacted into five. What are the Five Heaps or Groups of things?

1. form (this is fourfold, the Four Great Elements or maha-dhatus);
2. feelings
3. perceptions
4. mental formations
5. consciousness(es).

• Why are they all plural? Isn't "consciousness" a thing? They are heaps, groups, piles, collections, aggregates. There isn't one but countless of them. Consciousness (vinnana) is not a solid "thing" but a fluid process, a stream of cittas and cetasikas, a stream of consciousness.

See the division? The first four are listed as just "form" (rupa or kaya, materiality or body). The second four are spelled out a little more. But the Buddha kept it brief because No. 4 is actually 50 different things, usually translated as "impulses" or "intentions" (cetanas), the way all the members of a village might be called by the village leader's name; that leader is not the only person in the village. Moreover, No. 5 is not one thing, cittas (mind-moments), but also includes cetasikas (mental concomitants). Feelings are not of one kind, but they are just called "feelings" (vedana). Perceptions, too, are not singular but of different kinds. All of these are explained in the texts and teaching, as these are only rough English translations of a very deep psychological terms. The purpose is not academic but extremely practical. Their purpose is liberation by wisdom. One must first purify (cleanse) the mind and intensify it so that insight meditation practices (satipatthanas) can have their intended effect: liberating insight, transcendental wisdom.

Vegetarian Essenes, Nazarene Way

Nazarene Way of the Essenes, vegetarian mystics of the desert

Jesus passed through the Buddha's Kapilavastu

Did Jesus have any capacity to explain this? To whom could he have taught it, simple fishermen back home? Whatever he learned and realized in the Himalayas, at Hemis Gompa (a Tibetan lamasery visited by Russian Christian Nicolas Notovitch, who told the world all about the documented evidence he found there thanks to the abbot who recognized that Buddhism and Christianity at a very deep level were teaching the same thing.

We can make many distinctions, but Gnosticism accords very well, and Vedic/Brahminical Hinduism is not far off, as may also be said of Jainism. Sadly, it does not seem members of these other traditions realize the deep similarities. We might about the superficial, and we fail to grasp the deep truths. It would be possible to find correspondences between all the traditions. So many of the things that make no sense in Catholicism/Christianity, Islam, and Judaism (the Abrahamic religions) certainly do make sense in Hinduism and Buddhism and Jainism (the Dharmic religions).
