Controversial since it was first published in 1890, Nicolas Notovitch's "The Unknown Life of Jesus" relates that Jesus Christ spent at least part of the years of his life unaccounted for in the Bible--from the age of 13 to 29--teaching and studying in India and other parts of Asia. Notovitch was on an "extended journey through the Orient...to study the customs and habits of the inhabitants of India." During his travels, he visited a Buddhist monastery near Mulbek, close to the Wakha River. Here a Lama told him that Jesus, whom the Buddhists called "Issa," had visited the region and that there were ancient manuscripts documenting Jesus' visit and that copies existed at other monasteries. Notovitch was able to convince the monks at the Hemis Monastery to read from these documents and, as an interpreter translated, Notovitch transcribed.
Amazing discovery in a Buddhist temple - a new life of Christ. In it he spends many years studying the Buddhist scriptures before returning before his death, a pioneer, to bring the insights of ancient India to the west and to deliver sermons filled with Buddhist inspiration. CALLENDER SACRED TXETS
Throughout ancient and biblical texts there is no record of Jesus or his whereabouts between the ages of twelve up to thirty, when his ministry began. These are known as the lost years of Jesus. This book claims to reveal those lost years. The author, a Russian journalist and war correspondent, claimed to have found these important manuscripts during his travels through Kashmir and Ladakh in 1894, in a monastery in Tibet. He has reproduced them here, in this book. After publication it was met with wide public acceptance, as well as being refuted by famed Orientalist Max Muller, who attempted to verify the author's claims without success. Today, the mainstream belief is that it is a hoax; however, a number of lengthy supporting documents can be found on the web that attacks the criticism, point by point. We invite you to read this interesting book and other related documents so that you may form an educated opinion of your own.
