Do you really think anyone knows that lol? No one knows what happened to him for afew decades, it could have been anything. Some people even doubt he even existed at all.

No. That was the falsified story of one man, and he had no actual evidence to back it up. But there are no Hindus involved. They were supposedly Tibetan Buddhist monks. Here's a link I found that tells about this. http://reluctant-messenger.com/issa.htm

Sure it sounds as plausible as most of the stories surrounding the character.

This strikes me as unlikely and speculative in the extreme. Whomever is claiming that needs some very compelling evidence.

Where is there any historical record to suggest such?

There are proven documents that indeed lived in India and studies with Buddhist saints not HIndu saints.At least 2 decades of Jesus's live were not mentioned in the bible,and he did extensive travel through Egypt,Persia and India. In 1887, Notovich, a Russian scholar and Orientalist, arrived in Kashmir during one of several journeys to the Orient. At the Zoji-la pass Notovich was a guest in a Buddhist monastery, where a monk told him of the bhodisattva saint called "Issa". Notovich was stunned by the remarkable parallels of Issa's teachings and martyrdom with that of Christ's life, teachings and crucifixion. For about sixteen years, Christ travelled through Turkey, Persia, Western Europe and possibly England. He finally arrived with Mary to a place near Kashmir, where she died. After many years in Kashmir, teaching to an appreciative population, who venerated him as a great prophet, reformer and saint, he died and was buried in a tomb in Kashmir itself.

Well, I know for a fact I can't prove it, so I'll lean towards no. Then again, I lean towards the existence of Jesus Christ himself as unlikely and therefore untrue. IMHO. I can't prove it either way so I have to rely on the evidence I have.

Totally and absolutely false!

Out of curioussity I have asked this question to one Jehova witness team came to my home to convert me to their belief. I told them if you have answer to this, I will follow you. The man struggled for 1 hour and said all kind of excuses he could think of. He said Jesus was learning carpenter work at his father's workshop and did that this. But finally admitted there is a possibility that he might have gone elsewhere and learned something. Otherwise how could he know so many great things as a carpenter.

Don't know, I never managed to ask him such a thing.

For whatever reason, Scripture says nothing about the life of Jesus from the age of 12 to around the age of 30. One can speculate why God chose not to reveal anything about this time, but in the end this will only be speculation. You should attempt to track down such claims and see what the primary source for the "information" is and I believe you will find that this is just a local fable which only goes back a few generations, with no foundation in fact.

I heard that too. I though he studied with some other sages not Hindu though. No reason to not believe or believe it either.

He traveled all over the East and left written proof thereof. I wouldn't doubt if he learned from many teachers and the Hindu sainst are right up there. "Dharma" does not make any sense here. Dharma just means right action. Jesus was self realized while in this lifetime and many advanced saints can impart this gift to a soul ready for that path.

say what..??

LoL...been watchin too much youtube holmes. But who is to really say. Nobody learns ways from other people. Other people just bring out our true ways. Ours ways are always inside of us, all we have to do is look inwards. I do not believe Christ would have had to look at an outward source...expecially one that went against his the same beliefs that he taught. I do not think Christ was a hypocrite. So if you believe in Jesus Christ, you should also believe he wouldnt do such a thing.

1) "The lost years of Jesus concerns the undocumented timespan between Jesus' childhood and the beginning of his ministry as recorded in the New Testament. The gospels have accounts of event surrounding Jesus' birth, and the subsequent flight into Egypt to escape the wrath of Herod (Matthew 2:13-23). There is a general reference to the settlement of Joseph and Mary, along with the young Jesus, at Nazareth (Matthew 2:23; Lk. 2:39-40). There also is that isolated account of Joseph, Mary, and Jesus' visit to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover, when Jesus was twelve years old (Luke 2:41-50). Following that episode, there is a blank space in the record that covers eighteen years in the life of Christ (from age 12 to 30). Other than the generic allusion that Jesus advanced in wisdom, stature, and in favor with God and man (Luke 2:52), nothing is known of this time span. The normal assuumption is that Jesus simply lived in Nazareth during that period, but there are various pseudohistorical theories, popular among New Age adherents in particular, that present more adventurous scenarios, typically including travels to India. The Jesus in India idea appears to originate with Louis Jacolliot (1869) and has been repeated by numerous authors since, among them Nicolas Notovitch (1894), Levi H. Dowling (1908), Mathilde Ludendorff (1930) and more recently by Holger Kersten (1981, 1994), who however has Jesus travel to Kashmir not as a young man but after survivng his crucifixion. Most of these theories are informed by the identification of Kashmiri saint Yuz Asaf with Jesus by the Ahmadiyya sect (founded 1889). None of these theories are taken seriously in mainstream Biblical scholarship."

I think he learned it from Jenna Elfman.

no, there is no such evidence, it is all a complete fabrication. Jesus Christ continued in the area where he was resurrected for the purpose of furthering the training of his apostles. he knew that once he ascended to the heavens with his father he would never return as a human. 40 days later after his resurrection, he returned to the heavens to take his place alongside his Father and await his enthronement as future messianic king.(acts 2:29-36)
