All the story of Jesus is mythological like Indian mythology. Especially denounced was the use of Hindu rites of exorcism by the Ishanni priests, as well as other “idolatrous” and “superstitious” Vedic rituals. A church procession, for example, will have the same familiar music played in Hindu temples, the same type of lace silken umbrellas, flags and festoon, decorated elephants and ear-breaking beating of drums and noise of crackers. 6. Notovitch's story, with a translated text of the "Life of Saint Issa", was published in French in 1894 as La vie inconnue de Jesus Christ (Unknown Life of Jesus Christ). In 1430, Nicholas di Condi in writing of his travels in India said that the Ishannis “are scattered over India like the Jews with us.”. Upon his return to Nazareth preparations were begun for his journeying into India to formally become a disciple of those masters who had come to him nine years before. Most accounts of Jesus in India derive from a book titled The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ, written by Nicholas Notovitch, a Russian doctor who claimed to visit the monastery of Himmis near Leh, Ladakh (Kashmir) in 1888. For Jesus had destined him for a work completely unlike that of the other Apostles. Ishannis were vegetarians, abstaining absolutely from meat, fish, and eggs–as well as from alcohol–in any form or quantity. 7. At the age of twelve, during the passover observances on Mount Carmel (not in Jerusalem), Jesus petitioned the elders of the Essenes for initiation–something bestowed only on adults after careful instruction and scrutiny. But both Swami Abhedananda and Swami Trigunatitananda–direct disciples of Sri Ramakrishna and preachers of Vedanta in America–went at separate times to the Himis monastery. Other claims have followed a similar pattern, yet none are rooted in solid historical research comparable in date to the traditional Gospel accounts. Jan Slomp, The Gospel of Barnabas in recent research. Friendly clergy from the Syriac-speaking Orthodox Churches who came to visit their Indian brothers were arrested and deported or imprisoned. And the elements, and the cosmos, and the sun, and God Himself, are forever. Just before his martyrdom, King Mazdai said to him: “I have not been in haste to destroy thee, but have had patience with thee; and thou hast added to thy deeds, and thy sorceries are spoken of through the whole country. Thomas was to depart for India where he would live with Jesus and those great masters who had taught Jesus before him. To augment the teachings he had received in the Himalayas, Jesus was sent to live in Benares, the sacred city of Shiva. Benares, the spiritual heart of India, was the major center of Vedic learning. 9. In his commentary on the Gospels, Paramhansa Yogananda wrote: “It is important to note the difference between Jesus the man and Jesus the Christ. Atrocities committed against the Indian Christians were not unknown, though never officially sanctioned by the invaders–a common tactic of tyrants.

On occasion they gave useful animals to the Temple in Jerusalem, but only with the condition that they would be allowed to live out their natural span of life. In 1812, Meer Izzut-oolah, a Persian, was sent to Ladakh and central Asia by the East India Company. But that they were incongruent (even incompatible) to the normal life of Israel at that time is certainly known.
