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 authors 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...

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.

One of the mysteries of the Bible has always been where Jesus was during his twenties. There is a huge gap in the biography from puberty until about three years before the crucifixion. The simplest inference is that he was working as a carpenter with his father and that nothing remarkable happened to him during this period.

One rumor that has circulated for years has been that Jesus went to India during this time. There were...

Nicolas Notovitch was born into an aristocratic Jewish family, but converted to Christianity in his youth. A prolific journalist, author of twelve books (and some say spy), he travelled widely in the east, visiting India, Afghanistan and Ladakh. After a riding accident that broke his leg, Notovitch recuperated at a Tibetan monastery in Hemis. Here, he heard of a manuscript that revealed astonishing information on the sixteen 'Lost Years of Jesus' - the period between Christ's visit to the Jerusalem Temple at the age of twelve and His baptism in the Jordan, about which the bible is strangely...

Preface After the Turkish War (1877-1878) I made a series of travels in the Orient. From the little remarkable Balkan peninsula, I went across the Caucasus to Central Asia and Persia, and finally, in 1887, visited India, an admirable country which had attracted me from my earliest childhood. My purpose in this journey was to study and know, at home, the peoples who inhabit India and their customs, the grand and mysterious archaeology, and the colossal and majestic nature of their country. Wandering about without fixed plans, from one place to another,"
