Pintak Gompa (monastery) from "the Lost Years of Jesus"

The Lost Years of Jesus: Documentary Evidence of Jesus' 17-Year Journey to the East (Mass Market Paperback)
by Elizabeth Clare Prophet

Amazon Review

"The lost years of Jesus" provides evidence Jesus visited India during the lost years. 1894, Nicholas Notovich writes a book called "The unknown life of Jesus Christ". In the document Jesus name was Issa, a prophet from Israel. Issa was well acquainted with Buddhist theology. Max Muller wrote a book called "The sacred books of the East" calling Issa a fraud and pointing out that the Jews did not come to India until 35 A.D. It seems Notovich story came into doubt by the European scholars. Notovich claim he was near Gompa of Pintak when he fell from his horse and broke his leg. Notovich learns from the chief lama, they possess yellowed documents accounting for the lost years of Jesus. The chief lama produces two large bound volumes.



Verification of Notovich story was in doubt until Swami Abhednanda determined Notovich account was true. Abhednanda went to the Himi yogis of Tibet. Abhednanda has the two Tibetan Lama Documents translated into a book called "The life of Saint Issa: Best of the Sons of Man".

Legend holds the apostle Thomas established Christ church in India. In the Book, "The Indian Christians of St Thomas" by Leslie Brown suggest Thomas succeed in Christian conversion.

From the writings of Issa, he left his father house, a meeting place for the rich and noble, secretly and departed with a carvan of merchants to perfect himself in the divine word. Some of the places visited by Issa were: southest Pakistan, Juggernaut, the foothills of the Himilayas (Nepal), and returning back to Palestine at the age of 29.

Issa taught 1. too fear God and to bend the knee before him only 2. bring God offerings that proceed from gains 3. God comprehends all, the soul is indivisible, and God creates, contains, and vivifies all 4. God has existed since all eternity and will have no end 5. "The great creator has not shared his power with any living being, still less with inanimate objects, as they have taught to you; for he alone possesses omnipotence." 6. Man has dominion over the earth, waters, beast, and all that the creator created and God preserves his creations in immutable order. 7. God hates the sacrifice of human beings, for those who do honor to stones and metals. The heavenly law is opposed to the immolation of human sacrifices to an image or to an animal. All animals and all the earth contains is consecrated to man. 8. Worship not idols, listen not the Vedas, for their truth is counterfeit, never humiliate your neighbor. 9. Help the poor, support the weak, do ill to no one, and covet not that which thou have not and which thou seest belongeth to another. 10. Show love, kindness, and respect to your mothers and lives. 11. Works of love or piety should be done with an open heart and ones actions should not be governed by calculation or the hope of gain. Such action will not help to salvation and one will fall into a state of moral degradation, where theft, lying, and murder pass for generous deeds. 12. Remember the faith of your forefathers, which teaches patience on earth to obtain perfect and sublime happiness in heavan. 13. The law of Mose real meaning was not vengeance but mercy. The law of Mose has been perverted. 14. All things that are done without God are in error. 15. The judges found Issa innocent saying to Pilate, "We will not take upon our heads the great sin of condemning an innocent man and acquitting thieves. That would be against the law"
