Did Jesus Christ
stay in India?
Mr. Virchand Gandhi after upholding the glory of Indian religions and philosophies, goes one step ahead to claim that " Jesus stayed in India (Tibet was then a part of India) and was influenced by Indic religions.
Authors' note
To suggest them that Jesus Christ stayed in India from the age of 13 to 30, studied Indian religions was influenced by them and imbibed the values of universal love, compassion and justice from Buddha and Hindu religion, may look amazing but the fact still remains that Buddhists and Hindus cannot authenticate it and Christians will never approve it!
Notes on ancient manuscript found in Buddhist monastery in Tibet by a Russian traveler Nicholas Notovitch on life of Jesus Christ and further research on it by Mr. Virchand Gandhi will definitely raise a question to all intellectuals. Did Jesus Christ stay in India? Most of the opinions are against this view but the articles on this subject by Nicholas Notovitch and Mr. Virchand Gandhi are very interesting and worth reading.
