JESUS IN INDIA is producer-director Paul Davids' 5th feature film and a daring quest to unravel the mysteries of Jesus’ Lost Years (or “Hidden Years”) from age 12 to 30, which are not documented in the Bible. It explores the legends, myths, and actual evidence that Jesus’ Hidden Years were partially spent in India.
In April 2004, I personally met Edward T. Martin at a film conference and he gave me a copy of his book, King of Travelers: Jesus’ Lost Years in India”. There was something special about Ed, an adventurer and mountain climber whose amazing account of traveling through India, Tibet, and remote places in search of an answer of what happened in Jesus’ early life, a span of time in The New Testament that is explained only as a single brief sentence. It wasn’t long after that Paul Davids saw too that Ed Martin’s story was a riveting and visionary tale that seized the imagination. Paul decided to produce and direct JESUS IN INDIA after reading Edward Martin’s book and also studying the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda about Jesus’ purported travels to India.
Paul Davids (seen at left) traveled with Ed Martin, co-producer Anil Kumar Urmil and a dedicated crew of Hindus, Muslims, and Christians embarking on an extraordinary journey across thousands of miles and several countries around the globe to film the most comprehensive feature documentary on this subject ever made.
Their adventure took them to a 2,500 year old Hindu temple in Puri, India (seen at left) and an interview with the spiritual leader of millions of Hindus, who insists that Jesus was in India and the ancient temple of Jagannath as well as in Kashmir. He states that the facts about this have been concealed, covered up, and denied by Christianity, and that Jesus learned from the Hindus the Achar Samhita -- their code of conduct. The stories that Jesus also visited Kashmir imply that he was not only in India during the so-called “Lost Years” -- his early teens and 20s -- but that he survived the crucifixion and a few years after returned to India, where he died of old age and is buried at the Rozabal (the Prophet’s Tomb) in Kashmir.
