<strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>: <strong>What</strong> <strong>Really</strong> Happened <strong>in</strong> <strong>India</strong> – M. M. N<strong>in</strong>an<br />

244<br />

This also expla<strong>in</strong>s the apparent confusion between who the Manicca<br />

Vachagar was.<br />

St. Thomas was <strong>in</strong> later years presented as the proponent of Gnosticism.<br />

There had been contact between the Gnostic church <strong>in</strong> Persia and H<strong>in</strong>du<br />

Church of <strong>India</strong>. This expla<strong>in</strong>s the com<strong>in</strong>g of Manicean to <strong>India</strong> and<br />

convert<strong>in</strong>g the Catholic Christians back to <strong>H<strong>in</strong>duism</strong>. The third century<br />

Gospel of Thomas simply was an expression of what people knew of the<br />

St.Thomas Churches <strong>in</strong> H<strong>in</strong>du land. Today we have the Gnostic writ<strong>in</strong>gs<br />

of Nag Hamadi as evidence to it. All these are late second century or<br />

third century writ<strong>in</strong>gs. However the oldest of the Nag Hamadi Thomas<br />

parchments which dates much further back consist of “Thus saith<br />

Jesus”. Here is the quote from it.<br />

“Yeshua says: If those who would lead you, say to you: Behold the<br />

sovereignity is <strong>in</strong> the sky, then the birds of the sky would precede<br />

you. If they say to you: It is <strong>in</strong> the sea, then the fish (of the sea)<br />

would precede you. But the Sovereignty (of god) is with<strong>in</strong> you and<br />

is without you. {Those who come to recognize themselves shall f<strong>in</strong>d<br />

it, and when you come to recognize yourselves} then you shall know<br />

that you are the Sons of the Liv<strong>in</strong>g Father. Yet if you do not<br />

recognize yourselves then you are impoverished and you are <strong>in</strong><br />

poverty.<br />

Thomas was later given the secret of who Jesus was:<br />

13 Yeshua says to his Disciples: Make a comparison to me, and tell me<br />

whom I resemble || Shimon Kefa says to him: Thou are like a righteous<br />

angel. || Matthew says to him: Thou are like philosopher of the heart. ||<br />

Thomas says to him: Teacher, my mouth will not at all be capable of<br />

say<strong>in</strong>g whom thou are like.|| Yshua says: I am not your teacher, now that<br />

thou have drunk, thou have become drunken from the bubl<strong>in</strong>g spr<strong>in</strong>g<br />

which I have measured out. And he takes him, be withdraws, he speaks<br />

three words to him: I-Am Who I-Am<br />
