London in 1894, as The Unknown Life of Christ. He said that the Roman Catholic Church was
aware of the existence of these manuscripts, and in fact have 63 complete, or partial copies of
similar manuscripts in various languages.
Notovich was treated by Dr. Karl Marx (not the Russian Revolutionary), who recorded the
information in his diary that is in the possession of the Moravian Christian Mission at Leh.
However, the New York Times published a story about J. Archibald Douglas who visited the
same monastery, and they told him they never saw Notovich, and knew nothing of a Saint Issa.
They labeled Notovich’s book a forgery.
In 1921, a tourist named Henrietta Merrick visited the monastery at Hemis, was told about
Issa, and that there were documents that had been in their possession for 1500 years that talked
about him.
In 1922, Swami Abhedananda, a scholar, Hindu monk, and a disciple of Ramakrishna, went
to India, visited the same monastery at Hemis, and was also told about St. Issa from their copy of
the scroll; and he was shown an original copy of the scroll at the monastery in Lhasa, Tibet,
which vindicated the incredible claims of Notovitch. He translated it into English, and then in
1929 to Bengali.
In 1928, Professor Nikolai Roerich also traveled to Ladakh and Kashmir, where he visited
the Hemis monastery, saw many scrolls, and found out that the writings concerning Issa were
kept in the most isolated part of the subterranean storage areas.
Roerich said that the Tibetan scroll he found indicated that Issa was 13 years old when he
secretly left his father’s house left for India, and Notovich records in his book that he was 14
when he went to India, as does the Natha Namavali (or Sutra). He didn’t want to marry, which
pushed him into leaving home. He traveled east with a caravan of merchants to Pakistan.
The apocryphal Gospel of the Hebrews (also known as the Gospel According to the Hebrews)
said that Jesus traveled to India by way of Assyria and Chaldea with a group of merchants. His
first stop was Sindh, where the Indus River and its tributaries flow into the Arabian Sea. He then
went to Punjab and Rajputana, and then to Orissa. The evidence suggested that Issa stayed at the
Temple of Jagannath in Puri for 6 years. He also visited Rajagriha, Varanasi (Benares) and other
holy cities.
Issa then left the temple so he could visit the birthplace of Buddha, and lived in the Buddhist
monastery there, where he was educated in the teachings of Buddha.
Sakyamuni Buddha (563 - 483 BC) was a well-educated prince who renounced his royalty
(his father was the Chief of the Shakya Clain in Kapilavastu, in Nepal), because of his
disillusionment with the ravages of illness and old age. At Gaya, while meditating under a Bodhi
tree, he had a vision, and became ‘enlightened.’ He taught about “non-violence, peace, and
compassion.” About 300 years later, Ashoka Maurya (269-232 BC), emperor of northern India,
converted to Buddhism, and sent missionaries to many countries. In fact, it has been suggested
that the Pythagoreans in Greece, and Essene community in Judea, was the result of missionary
work by Buddhists. The man known as Issa was considered to be the incarnate of the spirit of
Buddha, and was revered as a great prophet and teacher.
After 6 years in the foothills of the Himalayas in southern Nepal, he was recognized as a
Master, and “had become a perfect expositor of the sacred writings.” He left, traveling westward.
He passed through Punjab, and met up with a caravan of merchants from Kashmir, and he
performed miracles among them, including the healing of the sick.
He returned to Egypt where he appeared before the Essene brotherhood, where he passed 7
tests, after which he was proclaimed the Christ. In a meeting before the 7 ‘Sages’ Issa said:
