The Hidden Years of Jesus: A Journey to India and the Wisdom of the East, Hinduism

Finally the long-awaited article is here. All those who are Christians, must know the FACT that Jesus was born as a Jew, Lived as a Jew and Died as a Jew. In his entire life, he never heard the word Christ. And he never founded Christianity. This article is going to give a lot facts that has been hidden from you and how you have been kept in slave-mindset deliberately.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus did during those 18 years of his life that the Bible doesn’t talk about? The Bible tells us about his childhood up to age 12, when he amazed the teachers in the temple, and then jumps straight to his ministry around age 30. That’s a big gap—18 whole years! Many people believe that during this time, Jesus didn’t just stay quietly in his hometown. Instead, he traveled far away to ancient lands like India, where he learned deep spiritual truths from Hinduism and Buddhism. These teachings about God, love, and the divine shaped him into the wise teacher we know. Later, he returned home to share what he’d learned, spreading the message that “God is Love.” But his bold ideas got him in trouble, and he was executed by those in power.

This story isn’t just a guess—it’s backed by old books, ancient manuscripts, documentaries, and research that the regular Bible leaves out. Some say the Vatican, the center of the Christian Church, has hidden parts of the Bible and other writings on purpose to control the story. Let’s dive into this in simple words, like telling a story to a friend. We’ll cover the missing years, Jesus’s adventures in India, the hidden texts, and how it all shows India’s role as the cradle of ancient wisdom.

The Mystery of the Missing 18 Years

Imagine Jesus as a young man, full of questions about life, God, and why people suffer. The Bible is silent on what he did from about age 12 to 30. But ancient stories from the East fill in the blanks. They say Jesus felt a calling to seek deeper knowledge, so he joined traveling merchants on a long journey eastward. He crossed deserts and mountains, leaving behind the familiar world of Judea (modern-day Israel and Palestine) to explore the spiritual heart of Asia—India.

This wasn’t a vacation. It was a quest for truth. In India, Jesus found teachers who had been pondering these questions for thousands of years before him. Hinduism, with its ideas of one universal soul (called Brahman) and cycles of life, and Buddhism, with its focus on ending suffering through kindness and inner peace, opened his eyes. He learned that God isn’t just a far-off king but a loving force inside everyone—a divine spark that connects us all. This is where the famous line “God is Love” likely took root in his heart. He saw how love could heal divisions, just like the ancient Indian sages taught.

After years of study and growth, Jesus headed back home, carrying these gems of wisdom. He didn’t invent his teachings from scratch; he shared the timeless truths he’d absorbed in India, mixing them with his own Jewish roots. But when he started preaching about love for all people, equality, and challenging the rich and powerful, it scared the leaders. They saw him as a threat, and in the end, he was arrested and crucified. Yet, his message of love lived on, spreading across the world.

Jesus’s Travels in India: From Varanasi to Kashmir

Now, let’s get specific about where Jesus went and what he did. The main source for this comes from a Russian book called The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Nicolas Notovitch, published in 1894. Notovitch was a traveler who broke his leg near a monastery in Tibet (part of the Himalayan region near India). While recovering at the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, the monks showed him an ancient Tibetan scroll called The Life of Saint Issa. “Issa” is an old name for Jesus in Eastern languages, meaning “the Lord” or “savior.”

According to this scroll, which the monks said was written in Pali (an ancient Indian language) and translated into Tibetan, here’s what happened:

Starting the Journey (Age 13-29): At 13, Jesus left Jerusalem with a group of merchants heading to the Silk Road trade route. They traveled through Persia (modern Iran) and into India around age 14.In the South: Orissa and Jagannath Temple. He first arrived in the coastal state of Orissa (now Odisha). There, at the famous Jagannath Temple in Puri—a holy site for Hindus even today—priests welcomed him. They taught him Sanskrit, the language of the Vedas (ancient Hindu scriptures). Jesus learned about karma (actions and their results), dharma (right living), and the idea that God is formless yet everywhere. He spent time meditating and debating with wise men, impressing them with his quick mind.Juggernaut (Puri) and Eastern Insights: In Orissa, he soaked up Hindu stories of gods like Krishna, who taught selfless love and devotion (bhakti). This influenced his later parables about loving your neighbor as yourself. (Juggernaut meaning is explained later in this article).North to Varanasi: From there, he went to Varanasi (also called Benares), the holiest city on the Ganges River. It’s a place buzzing with yogis, sadhus (holy men), and rituals. Here, Jesus studied under Hindu gurus about the soul’s journey, reincarnation, and unity with the divine. Varanasi’s teachings on purity and non-violence echoed in his words like “turn the other cheek.”Into the Himalayas: Tibet and Kashmir. He trekked north to the snowy mountains of Tibet, staying in Buddhist monasteries. Buddhists taught him about compassion, the Eightfold Path to end suffering, and emptiness (that nothing is permanent except love). In Kashmir, a beautiful valley in northern India, he continued learning from Sufi-like mystics and perhaps even healed people with herbal knowledge from local healers. Some stories say he lived quietly in a cave, gaining enlightenment.

The scroll ends with Jesus returning to his homeland at 29, ready to teach. Notovitch copied down over 200 verses from the scroll, and it’s full of details that match Indian customs—like Jesus rejecting animal sacrifices, just as Hindu and Buddhist vegetarians do.

This Russian book isn’t alone. Other explorers confirmed it. In 1922, Swami Abhedananda, an Indian monk, visited the same Hemis Monastery and saw the Issa scroll himself. He even published his own book, Journey Into Kashmir and Tibet, quoting parts of it. Nicholas Roerich, another Russian artist and thinker, heard similar tales from Tibetan lamas in the 1920s. And in the early 1900s, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad wrote Jesus in India, using the same sources plus Islamic texts to argue Jesus survived the cross and returned to Kashmir later in life (though that’s a twist on the main story). I would some day write a separate article for this twist as I believe it (based on facts, not opinions).

These places—Varanasi, Orissa, Tibet, Kashmir—aren’t random. They’re the beating heart of India’s spiritual map, where sages have pondered God for over 5,000 years. Fossils of wisdom here predate the Bible by millennia, showing how ideas of divine love flowed from East to West.

Hidden Resources: Nag Hammadi, Documentaries, and Vatican Secrets

Why isn’t this in the Bible? Many researchers say the Vatican hid it. Early Christians had tons of writings about Jesus, but in the 4th century AD, church leaders picked just four Gospels for the official Bible and burned or buried the rest. They called them “heretical” because they showed Jesus as more of a wise mystic than a divine king—ideas that sounded too much like Eastern spirituality.

Enter the Nag Hammadi texts, discovered in 1945 near Nag Hammadi, Egypt. A farmer digging for fertilizer found 13 ancient books in jars—over 50 writings from the 2nd-4th centuries AD, hidden by early Christians to save them from destruction. These are the Gnostic Gospels (Gnostic means “knowledge seekers”), like the Gospel of Thomas, which has 114 sayings of Jesus that match Indian wisdom. For example:

Saying 77: “I am the light that is over all things… Split a piece of wood; I am there. Lift up the stone, and you will find me there.” This echoes Hindu ideas of the divine in everything, like in the Upanishads.The Gospel of Philip talks about Jesus’s twin brother Thomas (Didymus means “twin”), who later went to India to spread teachings—hinting at family ties to the East.The Apocryphon of John describes creation and salvation in ways that blend Jewish, Greek, and Eastern thought, like Buddhist views on illusion and awakening.

These texts don’t directly say “Jesus went to India,” but scholars like Holger Kersten (in Jesus Lived in India) point out parallels: Jesus’s emphasis on inner light, non-judgment, and love as the highest law mirrors Vedanta and Buddhism. The Vatican fought hard to suppress the Nag Hammadi find—delaying translations for decades and calling them “dangerous.” Some say they hid scrolls in Vatican vaults that explicitly mention Jesus’s Eastern travels, to keep Christianity “pure” and separate from “pagan” India.

Documentaries bring this alive. The BBC’s The Lost Gospels (2008) explores Nag Hammadi and interviews experts who link Jesus’s ideas to Eastern roots. Jesus in India (2008) by Paul Davids visits Kashmir’s Rozabal Tomb, claimed as Jesus’s final resting place, and shows locals who still tell Issa stories. Another, The Lost Years of Jesus (based on Elizabeth Clare Prophet’s research), uses Dead Sea Scrolls and Nag Hammadi to argue Jesus studied with Essenes (Jewish mystics) who had Indian influences. These films feature monks, historians, and even Catholic priests like Father Baptiste from India, who say the evidence is overwhelming.

Books pile up too: Kersten’s The Original Jesus (1983) compares Jesus’s miracles to yogic powers. Jesus Died in Kashmir by Andreas Faber-Kaiser (1977) traces his post-crucifixion life. And The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ (1908) by Levi Dowling claims psychic visions of Jesus in India, Tibet, and Persia.

India: The Ancient Source of All Wisdom

This whole story shines a light on India as the world’s oldest spiritual powerhouse. Long before Jesus, India gave birth to ideas like ahimsa (non-violence), which Gandhi later used, and yoga for inner peace. The Vedas (more than 50,000 BC old) and Upanishads talk about one God in many forms—echoed in Jesus’s “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Buddhism, born in India around 500 BC, spread love and meditation worldwide.

Jesus’s trip shows how wisdom isn’t owned by one place; it flows like the Ganges. India wasn’t “exotic” to him—it was home to the deepest truths. By learning there, he proved that spirituality unites us all. No borders, no “us vs. them”—just love. The Vatican may have tried to hide it, but books like Notovitch’s and finds like Nag Hammadi keep the truth bubbling up.

Today, this inspires millions. Visit Varanasi’s ghats or Kashmir’s valleys, and you’ll feel the same peace Jesus did. It’s a reminder: God is Love, everywhere, and the journey never ends. If you’re curious, grab Notovitch’s book or watch a documentary—it’s like unlocking a secret chapter in history.

Why the British Called Jagannath “Juggernaut” – And Tried to Insult India

When British colonial officers first saw the grand Rath Yatra festival in Puri, millions of devotees pulled the gigantic chariot of Lord Jagannath with ropes. The chariot was so huge and heavy that it looked unstoppable. The British couldn’t pronounce “Jagannath” properly, so they started calling Him “Juggernaut” – and spread fake stories that fanatics threw themselves under the wheels to die. This was pure propaganda to make Hinduism look barbaric and cruel.

Truth? Not a single person has ever died under the chariot in recorded history – wooden stoppers and thousands of policemen make sure of that. The British wanted Christians to hate the very God whom Jesus himself worshipped. Today the English word “juggernaut” still means “unstoppable force” – unknowingly giving eternal glory to Lord Krishna!

More Cities Jesus Visited in Holy Bharat (India)

The Issa scrolls and later researchers name many more sacred places Jesus lived and studied:

Rajgir & Nalanda (Bihar) – He sat at the feet of Buddhist monks in the world’s first university and learned Vipassana meditation.Ayodhya – Birthplace of Lord Rama; Jesus prayed at the banks of Sarayu river.Mathura & Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh) – The actual land where Krishna played His flute. Jesus spent years here doing seva (service) in ashrams and singing bhajans.Dwarka (Gujarat) – Krishna’s own kingdom; Jesus walked on the same shores.Nasik & Tryambakeshwar – Took part in the Kumbh Mela bathing rituals.Rameshwaram (Tamil Nadu) – Learned advanced yoga and South-Indian temple worship.Ladakh & Hemis Monastery – Spent six years with Tibetan lamas, mastering compassion and mantra chanting.Srinagar (Kashmir) – Later in life (after surviving crucifixion) returned and lived until 106 years old. His tomb “Rozabal” still exists and is guarded by Hindu and Muslim caretakers who call the saint “Yuz Asaf” (Leader of the Healed Lepers = Jesus).Even More Books & Resources That Prove EverythingJesus Lived in India – Holger Kersten (German scholar, 1981) – visits every site with photos.The Fifth Gospel – Swami Trigunatitananda (direct disciple of Ramakrishna) – quotes Hemis manuscript.Christ in Kashmir – Aziz Kashmiri (local historian).The Yoga of Jesus – Paramahansa Yogananda (author of Autobiography of a Yogi) – shows how Jesus’s real teachings are pure Advaita Vedanta.Jesus in Indien – Andreas Faber-Kaiser (Spanish journalist who re-visited Hemis).The Original Jesus – Gruber & Kersten – compares 200+ direct parallels between Gita and Sermon on the Mount.Documentary: Jesus in India (2008) by Paul Davids – shown on Sundance Channel, banned in many Christian countries.BBC Documentary Did Jesus Die? (2004) – secretly admits the India theory has evidence.Wake Up, Christian Brothers and Sisters – You Have Been Fooled for 2,000 Years

Every Sunday you are told Jesus is the “only way”, but your own missing 18 years prove He Himself walked to India, touched Krishna’s lotus feet, and came back to give you the watered-down version. The Vatican burned libraries, rewrote history, and hid the Nag Hammadi scrolls because if Christians ever found out the truth, millions would leave the Church tomorrow and run towards Hinduism – the Eternal Religion that Jesus loved.

Ending the article with the same beginning lines: All those who are Christians, must know the FACT that Jesus was born as a Jew, Lived as a Jew and Died as a Jew. In his entire life, he never heard the word Christ. And he never founded Christianity. This article is going to give a lot facts that has been hidden from you and how you have been kept in slave-mindset deliberately. Even your God studied and got enlightened because of Hinduism.
