Recently, independent investigators have raised the issue of whether Jesus might have studied with the sages of India. Since this question has caught the attention of many New Agers, you and I might as well deal with it here.
We know absolutely nothing about most of Jesus' life. His entire teenage years and young adulthood are missing from the historical record, investigators have pointed out. Could this be because he was absent from Palestine all those years, perhaps on a pilgrimage to the Himalayas?
The question intrigues people because so many of the miracles attributed to Christ- healing the sick, materializing objects like extra food to feed large crowds, controlling the weather, clairvoyance, and mastery over death-are identical to the powers attributed to the greatest of the Hindu masters even today. Could Jesus have learned these techniques from Hindu gurus?
A number of surprising pieces of evidence have been well publicized.
