Book review
His unknown life before and after the crucifixion. Why has Christianity chosen to ignore its connections with the religions of the East, and to dismiss repeatedly the numerous claims that Jesus spent a large part of his life in India? This compelling book presents irrefutable evidence that Jesus did indeed live in India, dying there in old age. The result of many years of investigative research, Jesus Lived in India takes the reader to all the historical sites connected with Jesus in Israel, the Middle East, Afghanistan and India. As well as revealing age-old links between the Israelites and the East, the evidence found by theologian Holger Kersten points to the following startling conclusions: In his youth Jesus followed the ancient Silk Road to India. While there he studied Buddhism, adopting its tenets and becoming a spiritual master. Jesus survived the crucifixion. After the ‘resurrection’ Jesus returned to India to die in old age. Jesus was buried in Srinagar, the capital of Jammu and Kashmir, where he continues to be revered as a saintly man. The tomb of Jesus still exists in Kashmir. The author, Holger Kersten, specializes in religious history. He studied theology and pedagogics at Freiburg University, Germany and has travelled extensively in the Middle East and India. He is the co-author of The Jesus Conspiracy.

Comment 1: By ANIL CONSTANTINE MATHEW on
The reason why Christianity has ignored these
claims of Jesus living in India is because
after his resurrection, Jesus appeared to
different people at different times for 40
consecutive days. After these 40 days,
he ascended into the sky, and this event was
witnessed by approximately 500 people./>
So when we have so much of first
hand evidence from people who were actually
there when it all happened, why should we
believe someone like Kersten who comes along
after 2,000 years with his cute theories?/>
From time immemorial, everybody
wants to lay claim onto Jesus in some form or
another - it's a sure shot at instant fame
and recognition. Be it the Hindus, Muslims,
Buddhists, Jains, institutional christianity,
Hollywood, whoever, everybody wants to lay a
claim on Jesus. But Jesus continues
to disassociate Himself from all these
institutions by stating that all
these originated from the earth and therefore
are nothing more than man's feeble attempts
to reach God. But He alone came from heaven
and therefore shows the true way to God, the
Father.
