Set in is intriguing ephemeral 1978 news-clipping related to a village in northern Japan which claims Jesus stayed for a time. Rare early printing of this fascinating mystery of Biblical proportions. Translated from the French into English and edited with an introduction and illustrations by Virchand R. Gandhi of Bombay, India. This edition revised by Professor at the University of Paris, G. L. Christie. Nicolas Notovitch (1858 - after 1934) was a Russian aristocrat, Cossack officer and journalist known for his contention that during the years of Jesus Christ's life missing from the Bible, he followed travelling merchants abroad into India and the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, India, where he studied Buddhism. Where was Jesus and what was he doing from ages 12-30, why does the Bible omit this period and is there truth to the myths and legends that Jesus visited many other countries? This book contains amazing accounts of Jesus' missing years based on an old manuscript found in a Tibetan lamasery in the 1890's. You will read about the author's dangerous journey to Tibet as you uncover the mystery of the "lost years" of Jesus' life. Notovitch's discovery of these manuscripts was made in 1887 and he first published his findings in the 1894 "The Unknown Life of Jesus Christ." Notovitch claimed he discovered this manuscript of Jesus' life at the Hemis Monastery in Ladakh, India. He details his assertions about Jesus studying Hinduism in India and precursors of Buddhsim in Thibet during many of the years not found within the Bible. Contents: "Preface by G. L. Christie; Introduction by Translator Virchand Gandhi; Journey to Thibet; The Life of Saint Issa; and, a Summary." Features a 4-page preface by explorer Nicolas Notovitch with very unpretentious and feasible explanation of events that led to his discovery at the mountain-set monastery. Notovitch explains how he offered his manuscript translation to several bishops in Europe, but they were reluctant because of doctine and backlash moreso than doubtful authenticity. Finally, Edward Renan, French author of "Life of Christ" et al, was interested but was of feeble age and Notovitch felt it better for himself to publish in the Occident. Following this, and equally without pretense, is a thorough 20-page introduction by translator Virchand Gandhi. Virchand explains the very factual reasons why Jesus Christ did stay and learn the philosophy and religiion in India during this period of history. He delves into trade among the lands and Biblical references in Genesis, Song of Solomon, etc. where continental Indian etymology, spices, garments, dyes, precious gold, silver, and stones, etc. were referred to in their original Hebraic translated verbage. The Hemis Monastery is thought to have existed before the 11th century and was re-established in 1672 by King Sengge Namgyal. It is associated with the Drukpa lineage of Thibetan Buddhism and is known for its rich history and cultural significance. The Drukpa or Drukpa Kagyu lineage, sometimes called Dugpa in older sources, is a branch of the Kagyu school of Thibetan Buddhism. The Kagyu school is considered one of the Sarma or "New Translation" schools. The Drukpa lineage was founded in the Tsang region of Thibet by Tsangpa Gyare, and later became influential in Ladakh and Bhutan. Following titled work, is an additional 27-pages featuring two pieces on the "The Dangers of Psychism." Printed here from lectures, Col. H. S. Olcott representing Theosophy, and Miss Elizabeth Harlow on Spiritualism, both carefully and critically studied, offer insightful considerations. This section is introduced by J. R. Francis, publisher, who explains how Col. Olcott's references to elementary spirits, gnomes that haunt the mines, spirits of the air (sylphs), spirits of the water (undines), spirits of fire (salamanders), reads somewhat like a tale of fairies. Olcott explains that their existence rests on evidence considered irrefutable by Theosophists. Miss Harlow's lecture follows on the same subject and is no less brilliant. 156 pages. Insured post. Features a summarized "more relevant" "A Journey to Thibet" of Notovich by translator Virchand. This adventure travel piece by Notovich is edited for ultimate impact and sooner sets up for Virchand's translation of "The Life of Issa." Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Gandhi, Virchand R. (Drawings) (illustrator).
