Jesus Christ: Was The Savior Buried In Kashmir, India?

IndiaDivine.org
IndiaDivine.org:
The birthday of Jesus Christ, who many believe is the son of God and the Savior, is celebrated by most Christians around the world on Dec. 25. However, there exists many mysteries and contradictions regarding the biography of the historic Jesus. Among the most fascinating and controversial parts of his life have to do with what he did and where he went during his adolescence and early manhood -- roughly between the ages of 13 and 30 -- i.e., the "lost years" (which the New Testament completely omits).
 
IndiaDivine.org:
A belief that Jesus travelled to India and adopted Buddhist teachings and methods has been around since at least the 19th Century when scholars attempted to explain the similarities between Christianity and the much older Buddhist teachings. Traditions have it that during the 'missing years' i.e. those not chronicled in the New Testament, Jesus travelled to the 'lost tribes' of Israel who had not returned to the Holy Land but had settled in Afghanistan, Northern India and beyond.

The following is a video documentary by the Government of India on Jesus in Kashmir, India.
 
IndiaDivine.org:
It is a commonly-held belief among Christians and Muslims that Jesus rose to heaven, and that his body was never buried. However, recent media coverage has brought the attention of the world to the Rozabal Tomb in Kashmir, said to contain the body of one Yuz Asaf, a name supposedly adopted by Jesus when he was in India. This has reignited widespread debate on this topic. Local tradition states that the entombed was a prophet of Ahl-al-Kitab, or People of the Book (traditionally Christians and Jews), and his name was 'Isa – the Qur'anic name for Jesus.
 
IndiaDivine.org:
A belief that Jesus survived the crucifixion and spent his remaining years in Kashmir has led to a run-down shrine in Srinagar making it firmly onto the must-visit-in India tourist trail. In the backstreets of downtown Srinagar is an old building known as the Rozabal shrine. It's in a part of the city where the Indian security forces are on regular patrol, or peering out from behind check-posts made of sandbags.

Kala Bhairava Ashtakam

IndiaDivine.org
IndiaDivine.org:
Kala Bhairava is the Rudra Avatar of Shiva who is the omnipresent time or Kala. Kala or time is the fearsome face of Shiva as time stops for none. Each and every living being is afraid of time as it spares none. Hence Kala is feared by one and all. The Kala Bhairava Ashtakam was composed by the great philosopher saint of the 8th century, Adi Shankara. The Kala Bhairava Ashtakam is recited to make your journey through time or life free from troubles and dangers.
