A Hindu perspective on Christ

The Three Wise Men who came to worship the Christ child hailed from India and named him Isa, or "Lord," in Sanskrit â?? a name that became Jesus in the Bible.

The star they followed to find the infant Jesus was not a physical celestial body. It was the omniscient "wisdom star of infinite perception" in the spiritual eye, located between the eyebrows, which the wise men accessed through deep meditation.

Later, Jesus traveled to India, where he practiced yoga meditation with the great sages there some time during his "lost years" from age 13 to 30, a time of his life scarcely mentioned in the New Testament.

Chidananda says such Christian mystics as Teresa of Avila, Meister Eckhart and John of the Cross have described experiences of divine union that uncannily resemble the yoga experience. In many accounts, Chidananda says, deep meditators report hearing a "cosmic hum," then perceiving a light in their brains' frontal lobe and experiencing a blissful, expanded sense of self. [A Hindu's Perspective on Christ and Christianity]

There have been many theories regarding Christ and India. One of them as mentioned in the article is that Christ was in India during his teens. The other one is that Christ did not die in Jesusalem, but in India. But so far there have not been any archaeological evidence of these stories but you search on Amazon.com for "Jesus India" you will find a number of books on this topic.
