Question

No offense intended, but please do not answer this question if you are an evangelical christian. Did Jesus ever travel to India to learn anything, ie: meditation, or anything else?

Answer 1

Some speculate that Joseph of Arimathea was Jesus's uncle. There is this rumor going around that Joseph (Mary's husband) died shortly after leaving Egypt. It was Joseph of Arimathea that then took care of the family. It is further speculated that Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy businessman who ran caravans all over the place. Some speculate that Jesus traveled on these caravans as a young man and visited India, China, Europe, and North Africa.
This is of course all speculation. There is no evidence and I don't really know where people came up with this. But I have read it in several places.
Although I don't know if it is true or not, it wouldn't surprise me. We know almost nothing of Christs early life. What did he do for so many years before he began his ministry? Travel sounds good to me.

Answer 2

NO------------for sure.

Not to England or anywhere but what is now known as Israel.


There is an old "poem" I copied one time - I cut n paste for you;




ONE LIFE

He was born in a stable,
In an obscure village,
the child of a peasant woman,
From there He traveled
less than 200 miles.

He never wrote a book.
He never held an office.
He did none of the things one
usually associates with greatness.

He became a nomadic preacher,
Popular opinion turned against Him,
He was betrayed by a close friend,
And His other friends ran away.

He was unjustly condemned to death,
Crucified on a cross among common thieves,
On a hill overlooking the town dump,
And when dead, laid in a borrowed grave.

Nineteen centuries have come and gone,
Empires have risen and fallen,
Mighty armies have marched,
And powerful rulers have reigned.

Yet no one has affected men as much as HE,
HE is the central figure of the human race,
HE is the Messiah, THE SON OF GOD,
JESUS THE CHRIST!

Answer 3

There are missing years of Jesus life in the New Testament. Age 12 is the last story of Him in the temple. Then He reappears for his mission at age 30.

There are some theories that he travelled to Nepal, Tibet, China... to learn. It is not such a heresy to say that he had anything to learn, for instance, that last report of Him as a child in the Bible states that He was growing up and strong in 'stature and wisdom'.

Some believe that He went back in search of the wise men from the East. He must have heard came to His birth. That would make me courious! Who were these people? How did they know about me? He must have had a tremendous sense of destiny. His father had passed away. I almost find it difficult to think that wouldn't he be searching for the meaning and His mission in life, and why there was something so different and special about Him, right?

There was some evidence from a buddhist monastery of a Master Issa. He was called 'the white buddha' and beloved in the monastery for loving nature and wisdom. Was it Jesus? Who knows.

Answer 4

It did no longer look to rely. I heard he went to trip along with his uncle, Joseph of Arimathea, and went to Britain. possibly in case you gave a link to what you're conversing approximately (ultimate some thing greater scholarly and much less religious), i might desire to verify what the claims have been having to do with that. yet appropriate now, notwithstanding if Jesus did pass to India and studied some thing from there, the Christian doctrine nonetheless must be derived from the previous and New Testaments interior the Bible. If some thing opposite . . . very opposite exhibits up from what the Bible properly-knownshows, then we've a rationalization why Christians does no longer pay plenty or any interest to the concern. His sheep understand his voice and could no longer pay attention to a diverse.

Answer 5

I very much doubt it. There was contact between the Roman world and the east but a humble carpenter from Judaea is unlikely to have had the financial means to afford transport to India and back.

Answer 6

No. He did go to Egypt. But his religious style does not match the profile of Indian religion. (Example: no polytheism, not mysticism, no idolatry. His meditation style was very different. He was not a ascetic, nor a monk.)

Answer 7

there are rumors HE did so as some of the concepts are extremely similar. however, in my personal opinion the answer is " no " because there is no actual hard evidence or proof HE did.

Answer 8

No
