There is much speculation about where and how Jesus spent his
twenties. The bible does not tell us anything about his life during
this time. This book by the Russian doctor Nicolas Notovitch is the
source of the idea that he might have spent this time in India. The
book contains a travelogue of the author's trip through India.
Whilst convalescing from a broken leg an ancient manuscript is read
to him about Issa. The manunscript allegedly tells of Jesus (Issa)
as he treks through India studying the Vedas and Buddhism before he
returns to Israel and take up his ministry as it is described in
the bible. Even though the authenticity, or indeed the existence,
of the manuscript has never been proven, the rumours of St Issa
have refused to die.
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.
Where was Jesus and what was he doing from ages 12-30? Why does the
Bible leave out this important information? Is there any truth to
the myths and legends that proclaim that Jesus visited many other
countries? This book contains amazing accounts of Jesus' missing
years based on an old manuscript that was found by the author in a
Tibetan lamasery in the 1890's. You will read about the author's
dangerous journey to Tibet as you uncover the mystery of the 'lost
years' of Jesus' life. Complete with maps, commentaries, and
references.
Nicolas Notovitch was a Russian aristocrat, Cossack officer, spy,
and journalist known for his contention that during the years of
Jesus Christ's life missing from the Bible, he followed traveling
merchants abroad into India and the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh,
Nepal, where he studied Buddhism. While recovering from a broken
leg at the at the monastery of Himis, Notovich discovered the text
to The Life of Issa and realized that it recounted the lost years
of Jesus. This controversial book shows where many of Jesus'
beliefs comes from, while at the same time showing that Jesus was
already well on his way to his fundamental beliefs at a very young
age.
