We read in the book of a land that had been hidden from Westerners for decades. This book is also a travel log of a visit to Tibet, an area
that had long closed to outsiders.
Includes extracts from The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ by Nicolas Notovitch. The story of the swami's travels is
interesting and full of historical references. The book is replete with information about the spread of Buddhism in Tibet, China, Japan and Korea, and the life, manners, and customs of that area. The work is further enriched by the inclusion of
documents relating to the unknown life of Jesus Christ in India, hitherto unpublished.
The old manuscript that they showed Sw. Abhedananda says that Christ moved
to India at 13, partially to escape his parents and keep them from forcing him
to marry. During Christ's travels in India, he learned how to read and
understand the Vedas. He later spent 6 years with Buddhists and learned Pali and
studied all the Buddhist scriptures. The swami further says, "The lama said
that after resurrection, Jesus Christ came secretly to Kashmir and lived in a
monastery surrounded by many disciples."
