Hemis Manuscripts

Where was Jesus till the time he began to preach in Jerusalem?

I remember having a seen a book in 2003 in a library in Bangalore about Jesus having spent his time after his crucifiction in India. Could not find the time to get a hold on that book.

Recently chanced upon the mention of the Hemis Manuscripts. At the Hemis monastery in Ladakh, there is a book that mentions about Jesus’s visit to India. It is said that he spent time in India for almost 14 years (14 to 28 years..). Subsequent reading elsewhere, suggested that he spent time at the Jaganath Temple at Orissa, Benares and several other temples in India before spending around 6 years in Ladakh. It is also mentioned that he was widely respected and appreciated by the people wherever he went.

A lot of interesting reading. No point me repeating the information given in the links below. Happy reading.
