Just curious ... what is your documentary evidence for this?

The proof for this can be obtained from the books 'Jesus lived in India' , written by a team of Western scholars and archaeologists and ' Hinduism and Christianity' by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar( the founder of the Art of Living Foundation).[/quote]
Correction: Jesus Lived In India was not written by a "team" of anything. It was written by a German, Holger Kersten. (
Amazon link). Kersten offers not one speck of direct evidence. He merely infers this mission to India, mainly from the
Acts of Thomas; notably this book is not about Jesus but about (you guessed it!) the apostle Thomas. (See how that works?)
As for Sri sri yada yada and the rest of these hippie gurus ... I have no idea who they are and I doubt any have any credentials as a historian who could back up any of these claims with evidence.
