The Russian war correspondent and traveler [[Nicolas Notovitch]] is at the origin of the legend that Jesus visitred India, prior to his ministry in Palestine. According to a manuscript he allegedly saw while visiting the Tibetan monastery of Himis in 1887 (Life of Saint Issa, the Best of the Sons of Men), Jesus spent six years among the Brahmins, then other six years among the Buddhists, before preaching to the pagans, the Zoroastrians, and the Jews. It was Pontius Pilate, who put him to death, in spite of the opposition of the Jewish Sanhedrin. Notovitch’s work was a hit, spurring large controversy, and influenced the work of [[Mirza Ghulam Ahmad]], the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, who claimed that after surviving the crucifixion Jesus went to India, preached there and died an old man. Ahmad identified Jesus with the sage Yuz Asaf claiming that his tomb in Srinagar, Kashmir (known today as the [[Roza Bal]]) is the actual burial of Jesus.
