Did Christ come to India to study Buddhism, Vedas?
New Delhi: The spotlight is back on Jesus Christ and his India connection as the world celebrates Christmas on Friday. Some historians believe he spent 17 years of early life - from the age of 13 to 30 - in India learning Buddhism and the Vedas.
"There are references that Christ's family (parents) settled in Nazareth, but the next time he appeared in Nazareth, Jesus was 30. He was said to have been growing in wisdom and stature in the missing years," British film producer Kent Walwin said.
Here to receive the Dayawati Modi Award for arts, culture and education in 2009, Walwin's latest project, "Young Jesus: The Missing Years", will explore early years of the messiah, which are not described in the Gospels.
