[Music] e [Music] since time immemorial India has been a source of Wonder to the entire world this ever flowing ganga has nourished a civilization which has always excelled in unveiling the sacrs of Creation The Beauty of the thoughts produced by this marvelous civilization is unparalleled its amazing mysticism and philosophy has bewildered the entire world this culture has been a perfect Showcase of the underlying Unity of a great diversity of views paths ideologies and opinions aam satum via bahuda vadanti proclaimed the Vic scriptures truth is one noers express it in different ways no wonder India is
associated with Mystique the land of a thousand Mysteries since times unknown explorers have sought knowledge wisdom and insight into the various riddles and facets of this great and civilization the pursuit is still on India continues to Fascinate to Intrigue India's Himalayan Valley of Kashmir has been known as the heaven on Earth these Waters of the dull Lake have seen innumerable chapters of History unfolding one after another even now there are many secrets of the past which beckam the Spirit of exploration some of them have the potential to completely alter our perception of History one such
intriguing history is lying quietly since more than 1,900 years in this kanyar locality of Shri nagar this place conceals one of the biggest mysteries of the modern world the Ros Shrine burial place of yza Assam this board displays an information about the book aam written in 1729 ad by quaza aam dead maray this spot is famous as the resting place of a messenger I have read in an ancient book that a prince from a foreign land arrived red here and engaged himself in piety and prayers and became messenger of God for the Kashmir people what
is intriguing is that since always this USA assf is considered to be none other than Jesus Christ himself the savior of [Music] mankind a number of Sanskrit Buddhist Persian Arabic and kashmirian historical texts show that USA assf is another name of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is not the original name of the Savior his original Hebrew name was perhaps Yeshua his name in other languages are derivatives of this Hebrew [Music] name according to these texts Jesus did not die on the cross he survived the crucifixion and migrated to live in Kashmir in Kashmir he preached for
a long time and finally left his physical frame at a very old age and this is supposed to be his [Music] tomb the shrine is beautifully decorated and lighted the carvings of kashmiri designs add to the grander of the place the air is filled with fragrance of the Divine the tomb itself is of a pre-islamic period this old photograph shows that the wooden coffin was actually covered with a cloth of Jewish appearance this huge wooden sarcophagus which we see is only a facade the real tomb is in the underground chamber which is sealed now the
tomb lies in east west Direction which is distinctly the Jewish direction of burial it cannot be a Muslim tomb because Muslims bury their dead in Southwest direction we all know that Jesus Christ was a born Jew in the 18th century the grand Muti of Kashmir was the highest court of law in this land in 1766 ad he issued a decree regarding the Rosevelt Shrine according to this decree yza assat was a prophet to the people of Kashmir and he had come to Kashmir during the reign of King gopan Nanda it is well known that King
GOP Panda ruled Kashmir during the first century ad this matches exactly with the time period of Jesus Christ there is another very tantalizing evidence these are the footprints of yza ASF they show deep marks of wounds something like those of [Music] crucifixion when well-known scientist Kurt burner an has examined these marks and says that this is exactly how the feet of Jesus were nailed on the cross one upon the other pierced with a single nail there's no doubt in my mind that Jesus and yasa are exactly the same person I think the evidence is overwhelming
there are several websites which provide detailed information on this subject they contain a wide range of information on every aspect of the Life of Christ in India there have been several National and international researchers who strongly shared this belief Mah gulam Ahmed the founder of the ahmedia sect of Islam published his Udu book M Hindustan May or Christ in India in the late 19th century he did a detailed research on Rosevelt Shrine and studied the local traditions of the people of Kashmir he collected signatures of a large number of local inhabitants of canar in support
of his theory Aziz kashmir's book Christ in Kashmir is one of the most authoritative works on the subject Andreas Faber Kaiser wrote Jesus died in Kashmir Jesus Moses and 10 lost tribes of Israel hga Kirsten's book Jesus lived in India created quite a stir in the west Edward Martin is the author of king of Travelers Jesus's Lost Years in India some of the most comprehensive books are written by Fida husnain and Suzanne Olsen Rosel the Tomb of Jesus and the Rosal beyond the D venci code it is really hard to believe that Jesus Christ had
any connection with India leave alone the story of his life and death in Kashmir the mainstream Christianity scarfs at any such idea Christianity is based on the faith that Jesus died on the cross was resurrected and then ascended to the heaven to sit next to God every faith has its own reasons the Roman Church was established on this very faith and this very faith has made Christianity the largest religion in the world we all adore love and hold Jesus Christ dear in our hearts as one of the saviors of mankind still a human mind is
always curious it always seeks to unravel the secrets of History one such Seeker lives here in this quaint Bungalow in Shri nagar Destiny has bestowed this Seeker with opportunity and Facilities to seek what lies beyond the obvious Dr Fida hnin is now the single most credential person who has an intimate interest and thorough knowledge of the theory that connects Jesus to India he is the former director of archives archaeology research and museum for Kashmir and was once listed in who who in archaeology Dr hnin is ma LLB PhD and D lit and has been honored
with a number of awards for his excellence in several streams of knowledge it was indeed destiny that put him on the trail of doing research on the history of Jesus in India it was by chance that I got interested in the subject I happen to be the director of archives archology and research and museum in the state and I would go to ladak often we got stuck up there and we had no work so we were in search of books so I went to the Moran Mission Library to search out some books so that we
could read I became friendly with the caretaker of that Moran Mission his name was Reverend chatan punuk he told me that he is a very interesting reference of about sa Isa I said what do you mean by sa Isa and he told me about Isa what you say Haz Isa one of the prophets name of Nas n was there and it came to light that he had come to ladak he had stayed at this hamus Goa and he obtained the life of Jesus Christ in the late 19th century Nicholas noto's book The unknown life of
Jesus Christ had created quite a sensation it contained texts from ancient Buddhist manuscripts describing the life of Jesus in India in 1887 Nicholas nvic was traveling on Horseback in the ladak region during the journey he happened to visit an ancient Buddhist monastery near Le in these beautiful surroundings is situated the Magnificent Monastery of hemus these monasteries have stood tall since hundreds of years braving the vagaries of time [Applause] these are the repositories of the teachings of the great Buddha whose message of love and peace had reached the remote corners of the world hundreds of years
before Christ away from the Glamour and pollution of modernity these monasteries maintain their possessions and way of life intact Generations keep changing but the Acquisitions remain unchanged and uncorrupted Nicholas nich stayed in this Monastery for some days during his stay he befriended a llama the Llama shared some astonishing things with him he showed him ancient Scrolls which mention the story of Jesus in India there are hundreds and thousands of ancient manuscripts in these archives they contain discourses of the teachings of Buddha and great Buddhist monks of Y many of these manuscripts have come from other
Tibetan monasteries and ancient universities like nalanda of magada ancient India had several great universities Learning Centers and libraries like nalanda vikramshila tasila and UDP Puri when the mugal invaded India they destroyed most of these universities when the attacks were taking place many Buddhist monks escaped to Tibet carrying loads of manuscripts and books with them the manuscript which noich saw was perhaps one of such documents which reached the Bola Palace in Lassa the original P version is still supposed to be there what is in hemus is a Tibetan translation of the original Pali text these documents
have been seen not only by noich but by many others a disciple of ramakrishna parans Swami Abed Ananda went to crosscheck nich's Discovery and published the text in his own book journey into Kashmir and Tibet many other explorers have also seen these documents these Scrolls also reveal the story of Jesus Christ between the age of 13 and 28 years it is surprising that the Holy Bible contains no story of Jesus during this period the scripture is completely silent about these years of Christ but the Scrolls of hemus reveal [Music] all the Advent of Jesus Christ
took place in the city of Bethlehem in the state of Palestine which is now Israel right from the time of his birth this son of Mariam and Joseph became the cogia of the eyes of the wise and learned when he grew up he bewildered the elders with his explanations and interpretations of the scriptures this extraordinary talented boy attracted and impressed one and all people from all over blocked to hear him the hemis manuscripts tell us that around the age of 13 boy Jesus left his home and traveled to the east he traveled through the famous
silk route which links Europe and Asia then he arrived in India after Crossing Punjab Jesus reached rajputana the Majestic land of [Music] Rajasthan he spent some time with the James the followers of vardaman mahavira then he proceeded toward the east coast of India and reached the city of jagan nat Puri in [Music] orisa this town houses the Ancient Temple of Lord jaganath Lord Krishna is known as jagat here Puri has been an ancient seat of Vic culture and studies This Magnificent Temple has been in existence hundreds of years before the birth of Christ even today
millions of devotes strong the temple which is highly revered in the entire region the hemis manuscript discovered by Nicholas novich refers to Jesus as Esau the Scrolls reveal that young isau studied vas in this city of Puri he also learned to cure by Aid and prayers and mastered many other spiritual techniques not only did Esau Master the Vic scriptures he also started preaching their real meaning to the masses initially the priests of Puri welcomed him but later they grew jealous and started creating troubles Issa was compelled to leave jaganath Puri he then moved to Raj
gria the ancient capital of magath Lord Buddha had lived and preached here for a very long time in those times India's magad Empire was the most advanced and happening place in the world maged had some of the best schools of learning young Issa is supposed to have attended some esoteric School in this Kingdom he started becoming familiar with the teachings of Lord Buddha after Raj griha Jesus lived in the holy city of Varanasi for a few years on the banks of Ganga this city was known as Kashi during those times here Esa studied holy scriptures
and other Sciences under a guru whose name is said to be UDA after some time he left the city according to him manuscripts Jesus came to ladak after traveling through Nepal Tibet and other parts of the Himalayas he was a great traveler in fact some Scholars refer to him as the king of Travelers he spent some time in the Buddhist monasteries of the Himalayas and then returned to his homeland Jesus Christ as a young man came to India and he visited various places he went to Katmandu he got influenced with vanta and philosophy as as
well as as well as with Buddhism and naturally he learned from Buddhism nonviolence Brotherhood peace certain principles of coexistence and naturally when he started in many his ministry in Palestine he taught the same principles which are enshrined in Buddhist Canon right thinking right thought right action nonviolence compassion Brotherhood peace there is nothing written in the Bible about the activities of Jesus between the age of 13 to 28 he suddenly appears in Judea at the age of 29 he started preaching and establishing his ministry from there onwards after a few years the great Messiah the Son
of God was crucified in his own country most of us associate crucifixion with death but many biblical experts feel that Jesus had not died on the cross there are some strong reasons to believe that Jesus was nailed only on the hands and the feet these are not life-threatening injuries his vital organs were unharmed it takes quite a long time to die on the cross but Jesus was taken down within a few hours when his body was scratched blood and water came out this can happen only if the person is alive many experts feel that the
ointments which were used to treat him are for recuperation they are not used for funerals all these factors indicate that there was a plot to save Jesus Christ and he was indeed saved the Bible says that Christ rose from the dead after 3 days or was he simply healed in 3 days I think that the events of the crucifixion was not it didn't culminate in a resurrection it culminated in a resuscitation like a near-death experience that he survived the life that he lived after the crucifixion was absolutely phenomenal he got a lot of things done
um he wasn't in hiding he wasn't a miserable Barefoot prophet he was a great leader he led several exoduses out of Israel the Bible reports Jesus Christ as walking and talking after his supposed death on the cross there are at least 12 physical appearances of Jesus after crucifixion first he appeared to Mary Magdalene and assured her that he was alive we know about the Last Supper Jesus had food with his disciples he wanted to convince them that he was not a ghost behold my hands and my feet that it is I myself handle me and
see because a spirit does not have Flesh and Bones as you see me having Luke 24:39 when Thomas doubted Jesus asked Thomas to check for himself whether he was alive or not the 12th appearance of Christ was in Damascus full 6 years after crucifixion these physical appearances are very very strong signs that Jesus Christ had not died on the cross when he was saved from the cross his uh concert Mary Magdalene flew towards France and he fled away towards Iran Damascus and then tan and Iran on the same silc route there was in those days
the great National Highway between Asia and Europe and the same he traveled again to on the same route toward this side [Music] he was accompanied by his mother Mary and a group of followers there are two major Persian books of History ikal Udin of 10th Century ad and razat usafa of the 15th century they record that Jesus Took the name of yza Assa in Persia and the turkey region a Persian dictionary called farangi aafia says that hazzat Issa was known as Yuzu and as he cured lepers he became known as yza Assa the Healer of
lepers so Yuzu Assa healer so they gave him name and then from that from Iran to Kashmir he is remember remembered by the same name when he reached gandar mother Mary passed away a tomb can be seen even today the place of her death is now known as murri and falls in Pakistan the acts of Thomas mentions the arrival of Jesus in the famous city of takila these are the ruins of the famous university which was at takila it was a great center of learning and Buddhist studies King garus was the ruler when Jesus had
visited takila from takila Jesus reached [Music] Kashmir Z [Music] even the Stones Give water to pilgrims here is a Kashmir is a land of they say they say Rich word land of Richies the entire Kashmir is indeed a blessing of the Divine there is something in Kashmir which uplifts the soul after all there has to be some reason why Jesus Christ chose Kashmir to settle [Music] down one of the reasons of Christ's surval in Kashmir can be traced here this is goodly about 50 kilomet from Shri [Music] nagar people are simple hardworking and efficient in
whatever they do what makes them different is that they are not original kashmir's centuries ago they came here from Afghanistan side they speak the Pashto language but they have not forgotten that they are originally Jews from Palestine the homeland of Jesus Christ they call themselves BN Israel history tells us that out of 12 Jews Jewish tribes 10 had migrated away from Israel since 5 centuries before Christ these scattered 10 tribes have been known as the lost sheep of Israel many of these lost Jewish tribes have got settled along the silk route Afghanistan and up to
Kashmir there are huge Jewish populations uh along the silk route Afghanistan most of the tribes in Afghanistan the Warlords the Taliban uh the um the pashun are all descended from the 12 tribes of Israel and many are still known by their their tribal names their biblical names and they wandered um and settled uh across most of Afghanistan and what is now Pakistan Northern India and Kashmir Gathering these lost sheep back in his fold was one of the missions of Christ's life in the Bible Jesus says go not into the way of Gentiles and into the
city of Samaritans enter ye not but go rather to the lost sheep of the House of Israel Scholars suggest that the lost sheep of the House of Israel Jesus was refering to included these Jewish tribes which were settled in the regions adjoining Kashmir these tribes are of a tall robust frame of body with manly features the women fully formed and beautiful with aqualine noses and their features also resemble the Jews most of the Afghan tribes are the descendants of the Jews he wanted to seek and save them therefore it is no wonder that he proceeded
towards Kashmir this is a residence of kutub alam badsha the head Mai of gutle today there is a big Gathering to sing glory of the Lord Alam bsh Ides over the [Music] function the culture and tradition of kashmiris are different from ours we have not forsaken our tradition their eating habits costumes and living style is very different from ours so far we have not had marital relations with them their culture is different ours is different with the Advent of modernity this community is showing signs of change they're opening up to new ideas as India is
developing fast in a globalized world today the kashmiris are also reaping Rich dividends there are several such communities of bani Israel in Kashmir and India these people of Jewish descendants have physical features which are strikingly different from other Indian communities some genetic studies are also being conducted which indicate the Jewish links experts have identified more than 90 tribal or cast names which are common both to Kashmir and Israel there are a large number of terminologies in Kashmir which might be having Hebrew links Mr MB Alam lives in his residence at gutleb he is a scholar
of the history of BN Israel we are Israelis connected to Prophet Moses Prophet Ibrahim had 11 children Huda was the eldest we are his descendants we are bun Israel our living style food habits traditions and even language is different from that of kashmiris when Jesus came to Kashmir Buddhism held complete Sway in the region together with Buddhism was existing the viic culture so it is but natural that most ancient records of the arrival of Jesus is found in Pali and Sanskrit documents the greatest evidence we have from vishan then we have the Chinese Chinese documents
glass mirror we have tietan we have persan manuscripts also who have manuscripts in Arabic and information thing but the main information the Chief Information is from the Sanskrit work Bish mahapuran bhavisha mahapuran is an ancient Sanskrit treaties and one of 18 major puranas According to some experts like Dr Fida hnen It Was Written in the 2 Century ad this mahapurana mentions a meeting of Isa MSI with King shahan Jesus is called Isa masi in Sanskrit text shahan was one of the major Kings in Kashmir during the first century ad he had established the rule of
the Arians on this side of the river synu or Indus the purana says one day King shahan went to the Himalayas there in the land of ladak he saw a Pious man in the mountains his skin was fair and he wore white garments the king asked the holy man who he was the holy man replied I am the Son of God and I'm born of an unmarried woman I have been sent as a prophet to the Fallen ones after the purification of the and the impure body and after seeking refuge in the vas man will
pray to the Eternal the holy man further said that he has been called Isa M this is a very interesting document indeed it clearly mentions the name of Isa M it also speaks of him as the Son of God and born from an unmarried woman glass mirror is another ancient document mentioning the details of Jesus Christ as USA ass glass mirror is the history of religions written in Chinese which was translated into Tibetan the glass mirror puts yza assf on the same pedestrial as that of Buddha his teachings were similar to that of Buddha it
says however that the teachings and fame of yza assf did not spread much out of Kashmir in Kashmir we have mysticism we have S Ria that means Rashi order his base is Buddhist shist and then Islamic it is composite our great RI says hind musl don't think in terms of Hindus and Muslims sh is looking upon you minutely if you are intelligent you must understand this point this point that all human beings are sa It is believed that when Jesus arrived in Kashmir he first stayed near pahal in these Serene surroundings is located the famous
Shrine of Ash [Music] mukam this Monument is known as the burial place and Shrine of Baba shik zanin Rishi he was one of the main Saints of Kash me's famous Rishi [Music] order this entire mosque is constructed over a cave in the mountain the cave has been used by sages monks and Saints since Vic times kashmir's Rishi order starts from the Vic sages it was taken forward by the Buddhist monks and continued by the Muslim Saints it is an unique example of composite culture which is the whole Mark of Kashmir Isa or Jesus is supposed
to have lived in this cave when he first came to Kashmir ancient rishin namas or The Chronicles of the sages indicate towards this fact the original name of sh Z Rishi was Jay Singh he had come here in the mid 15th century people from all walks of life come here to seek soless they have immense faith in the shrine this place was earlier known as Asos mukam which almost means the Abode of isau in course of time it got corrupted to Ash mukam so Ash mukam is basically a place where Jesus has lived he has
meditated and his that that Rod is there Ash mokam preserves asai Isa or the rod of Jesus it is the rod which Isa used to carry with him all the time the rod is not shown to anybody now [Music] mulah nidri compiled his history of Kashmir in 1420 ad he writes that yza assv came to Kashmir during the reign of King GOP Ananda in the first century ad mulah nauri has mentioned that hazzat Issa or Jesus Christ had adopted the name of USA assf he mentions Jes Jesus as Haz Isa Ru Allah meaning thereby Isa
the spirit of [Music] God some archaeological evidences also support the arrival of Jesus in [Music] Kashmir this ancient Shiva Temple was built in 22 BC according to historian Mula nid King gananda got this Temple repaired in the first [Music] century for repairing the temple gopan Nanda sought the advice and guidance of USA ass this fact is supported by other historical documents [Music] too there are four pillars around the St Temple there were ancient inscriptions on each of these pillars now they have been completely erased but two inscriptions were photographed in 1869 by Henry hardi Co
the then superintendent of archaeological Survey of India during this period USA assf proclaimed his prophit hood year 54 he is Yuzu the prophet of the children of Israel the Mason of this pillar razi hasti zaku year 54 this pillar in honor of Eli Kim Son of Marjan the inscriptions mention Kashmir year 54 this corresponds to 78 ad thus the probable year of the arrival of us assv or Jesus Christ in Kashmir a 78 ad there is also a possibility of an interesting link between the Jewish culture and [Music] shiism this is the Star of David
the most sacred symbol of the Jews in vic culture this is the symbol of Shiva and Shakti the conjunction of masculine and feminine forces which gives rise to Creation the shival lingum in yonip pit is a 3D representation of the same symbol the Shiva Temple of the gopad Hill also houses a Shiva lingum the Shiva angle becomes prominent when we find that there is a mention of Issa in the ancient Scrolls of the N sect of India it is an extremely old secretive and Mystic sect of Shiva worshippers their ancient book Nat namavali Sutra mentions
Isa as isan it says that ISAT finally got settled in Kashmir the fourth inscription on the Shiva Temple is very intriguing this pillar in honor of Eli Kim Son of Marjan but who was Marjan story is that USA married Marjan a sheer from the village of sheards now in Kashmir we say po gam means Village poal means Shepherd traversed by Boulder Throne Lia river balam is a major Center of tourist attraction in Kashmir Shepherds come from far off lands bringing along their flocks of sheep [Music] people are traditional and rooted very strongly to their culture
according to the Persian history book Naran Kashmir yza assf married a shepherdess of balam it was King shahan who persuaded yza assf or Isa masi to marry the king had shortlisted some girls from whom Issa selected marj of bahala to be his wife wife according to inscriptions on the Shiva Temple elim was the name of the son of Maran and Isa it seems that there are many aspects of history on which proper research has still not been done archaeological investigations lead us to another place called haran near Shri nagar adjacent to haran is the ancient
Arch ological site where the fourth great Buddhist Council was held in the 1 Century ad these walls of small Boulders and Pebbles have preserved history which unfolded more than 1,900 years ago it is a saga of that time when great keska was the king of this part of the world in the first century ad he convened a great Council of Buddhist monks at this very Place Scholars came down from far off places like Central Asia China Sri Lanka and other parts of India this fourth Buddhist council is a landmark event in the history of Buddhism
it gave birth to Mahayana Buddhism who was the moving force behind the great Revival of Buddhism such a great Insight requires a great personality Scholars feel that this great personality was none other than USA assif the strongest evidence for this are the two coins released by kanishka one coin mentions budo or Buddha the second coin mentions yuzo or yza ASF it is clear that keska respected and adored yza assf in the same light as Buddha it is indeed highly fascinating to see one personality of yah ASF uniting Christianity Buddhism VI culture and Islam together the
truth is one the prophet sages and Saints reveal the same truth in different ways they are the Confluence points of diversity of views love to all is their fundamental message we the ignorant followers create conflicts and sects but the messengers of God preach Oneness of Truth the evidences are very strong that USA assf the prophet buried at rosabal and Jesus Christ are the same person the next step of research should be DNA testing of the Tomb we must use the latest scientific techniques to ascertain the final truth the DNA is the next important tool that
we need uh to help establish the truth about Ros of Bal to whatever may be the ultimate truth the Roosevelt Shrine stands as a great heritage not only of India but of entire mankind it must be preserved properly and should be open to all this Shrine which is Red by Christians by Hindus by Muslims by Jews it is a National Heritage and it it should be taken over by UNESCO it should be taken over by government of India it should be looked after by the archaological Survey of India I think it is the responsibility of
of India and the government of Kashmir to step up to the plate to um to take Rosa Bal to protect it and restore it and to preserve it for all future Generations in the city of Patna there is the kab Bak Oriental Public Library it houses a large number of ancient books and documents there is an old book in Udu in the library by the name of Kissa Shada yusa ASF W Hakim Bahar the story of Prince yusa assv and Hakim Bahar it describes the moment of death of yza assf in Kashmir yza assf called
one of his disciples yo and instructed him to build a tomb at the very place of his death death then the great savior delivered his last sermon now at this last moment my spirit is ready to fly towards the Holy One it is necessary for all of you to follow the Commandments of God none should go towards the untruth leaving the truth [Music] this is indeed a message for the entire Humanity this roseval Shrine is perhaps the most unique place in the world nowhere else do we find such a great Confluence of religions thoughts and
beliefs it conveys to us the message of the Savior who was the prince of peace [Music] Generations will come and generations will go the grand Cosmic play of God and his Messengers never sanctions conflicts and hatred the only will of the Supreme father is love this is the message of the rosabal shrine the supposed Tomb of Jesus in India [Music] [Applause] [Music]
