Jesus was a Hindu?

My first reaction was “WTF”. And mind you, it is not a propaganda or some Hindu site and there are plenty of spiritual writings on the site. Though it doesn’t shake my belief one bit, but then as I read, I won’t dare to make anymore comments on this material. It looks well researched and it says that Jesus was in india during the “lost years” and that he was illuminated in the Himalayas.

Some excerpts:-

At the time of Jesus there were two major currents or sects within Judaism: the Pharisees and the Sadducees.  There was also a third sect which both was and was not part of Judaism. They were the Essenes, whose very name means “the Outsiders.”. The reality of this contact with India is shown in the Zohar (2:188a-b), a compilation of ancient Jewish mystical traditions and the major text of the Jewish Kabbalah.

When teaching in Israel, Jesus told the people: “Other sheep I have, which are not of this fold,”42 speaking of His Indian disciples. For when Jesus came to the Jordan at the beginning of His ministry, He had spent more years of His life in India than in Israel. And He returned there for the remainder of His life, because in all things He was a Son of India-the Christ of India

In the Himalayan fastnesses Jesus was instructed in yoga and the highest spiritual life, receiving the spiritual name “Isha,” which means Lord, Master, or Ruler, a descriptive title often applied to God, as in the Isha Upanishad. Isha is also a particular title of Shiva.

For the next few years the Himalayas became Jesus’ well-travelled home. During part of that time Jesus meditated in a cave north of the present-day city of Rishikesh, one of the most sacred locales of India, and also on the banks of the Ganges in the holy city of Hardwar. In the years He spent in the Himalayas, He attained the supreme heights of spiritual realization.

Here’s more.

Sorry if the title looks misleading.

    I remember there was an article sometime back, which says something like “Jesus died in Kashmir”. I’m not sure if these two are related. Whatever this is another piece of crap to me. But based on what is told is The Bible, looks like we are pretty close to the “Second Coming”.

    There is actually quite a lot of research that points to Jesus’s time spent in India and the fact that he received much of his spiritual orientation here. An entire website (https://www.tombofjesus.com) is devoted to this and there are several books on the subject.
    Once we temporariliy divorce religioon from this issue and look at it dispassionately, it can be a fascinating journey.
