RE:Jesus Christ beleived to have studied here in Nalanda

it's controversial but strongly believed. He was in India for 15 years and some reports tell that he was associated with eastern India budhdhist university at that time. Only Nalanda was there at that time and that too in east of India. Swami Vivekananda had confirmed that he had styed for soem time in Puri sun temple while a big russian author has reported him having education in Nalanda. catholics fight over this fact and obviously like many hidden facts about Jesus, they concealed it. But Jesus has been in Nalanda is a very strong theory, gaining weight specially after recent research progress.
Rohit: I understand what you are saying. There are much material in the net on Jesus's connection with India, specially Kashmir!
But, I think those are of more prpaganda in nature by Western Missionaries who are now hell bent in converting Asia, and particularly India.
It helps them if they can somehow establish 'autheticity' of jesus in India from antiquity.
After all, the much popular belief that Saint THOMAS CAME TO INDIA IS A CRAP. HIS BODY LIES SOMEWHERE IN MIDDLE EAST. AND EVEN POPE DOES NOT RECOGNISE THAT THOMAS CAME TO INDIA.
These types of myths are perpetuated by vested interests to confuse (and ultimately convert) unsuspecting poor Hindus.

Reverse statement Bhaskar. Swami Vivekananda himself had written that Jesus stayed in Puri. It is not a propaganda but a fact and strong theory. Jesus was a student of budhdhism and hinduism. How this fact can convert hindus to christanity. Don't feel scared for Hindusim. It has survived worst times, it's oldest and only it can survive even after catastrophe becuase hinduism is not religion but definition of a civilzed life, mother of all religions. She will be always there. let others fight and do any despo things. respect hinduism and don't fall like this.
