And that makes yet another story Jesus came to India. I have heard
1. Jesus came to Mylapore, Madras during his lost years.
2. He actually didn't die, but came to Kashmir and had a wife and many kids.
3. He studied with the Buddhist Monks during his lost years and that's where he
got his "ahimsa" kind of doctrines.
and so on and so on. Each guy presents his own set of scrolls, sites etc. I
haven't seen the one you mention here, but I am highly skeptical about all
these "Jesus was in India" stories.
