In other such stories, the Divine Child Jesus had the power to make birds out of clay, then clap his hands, and they'd fly away.  But when other children crossed him, or upset him, he killed these children, then reconsidered and brought them back to life so that his supposed family could live in the community without persecution because of the monster child in their family.

      In Desire of Ages, a late 19th century book about the "Perfect Jesus," the only person on earth who never sinned by thought or deed, his major problem as a child was his older "brothers" (who were not really his brothers) who tempted him continuously.  In Norman Bull's Jesus of Nazareth, Jesus the carpenter had no problem with his brothers, who were younger than he, teaching them the carpenter trade so he could leave home to "save the world".

       Then we looked closely at the Gospel of John and discovered evidence in John's apparent lack of knowledge about how far it was from where John the Baptist was baptizing near Jericho to Nazareth and Capernaum and the Sea of Galilee, and accepted Norman Bull's suggestion that John the Baptist was an Essene.  John baptized Jesus as an Essene also, but suggested he was to be a celibate "Lamb of God" and never marry.   But Jesus was in the Essene "Cana" three days later getting betrothed to Mary Magdalene by a famous leader of first-century Gnostics.  However, all this occurred after those "Silent Years" from 13 years old to 30 years old.  If Jesus was not, as Norman Bull presumes, with the help of two questions in the gospels, engaged in the carpenter business, and not, as John the Baptist suggests on two occasions, training to be a life-long celibate monk at the Qumran monastery, then where else could he have been?   The answer to this question given in quite a number of quotations in Near East sources is "traveling through the world".   Looking for the answers to life's big questions from a lot of religious teachers other than YHWH, the Torah, and the Dead Sea Scrolls.   According to these sources, Jesus started out at 13 years old to become the "King of Travelers".

       Starting out at age 13 to travel to India, and discover for himself the answers to life's big questions, Jesus, according to the researcher Fida Hassnain, first lived with the Jains for a period of time and assimilated a lot of what they taught about  purification of the soul by  leading a pure life, through non-violence, noble actions and thoughts, kindness to all beings, and a vegetarian diet.  But he didn't stay long, and moved on to the giant temple complex at Jagannath, and then to the Ganges river and Varanasi, where he stayed for six years, absorbing the history in the Vedas, and whatever good teachings the Hindus had to offer.  Disagreeing with the Brahmans on caste distinctions, Jesus moved on to Kapilavastu in Nepal and Hemis in Tibet, and found more he could agree with in the Buddhist teachings of the monks of Nepal and Tibet.   Then he took the long road back to Judea, where he was confronted again with the question that sent him traveling in the first place.   The question of "Who's your Daddy?"

A "Lamb of God"? OR a Descendent of

KING DAVID?

      To John the Baptist in 29 AD, it was clear enough that Jesus was illegitimate, and worthy only to be at the most a levitical Cardinal assigned to some Essene village granting absolution to those sorry for their sins and willing to repent and do better.   But Jesus had set his sights on being accepted as being the Messiah of David that would lead his people to victory over the Romans and restore the "Kingdom of God" to the Jewish nation.   He now knew who his earthly father was, because he had reached Kashmir in his pilgrimage and watched his father Joseph reigning there as Aryyraja, the "White Rajah" of Kashmir. And Jesus himself, starting in 25 AD, when his father retired, had been accepted as King of Kashmir,  Based on his Davidic genealogy not on some real or imagined connection to some "Father God".    "Enough already," thought Jesus, and he worked around John the Baptist's illegitimacy objections by winning over Jonathan Annas, the Essene high priest, to his way of thinking.   He went to the Essene equivalent of Cana of Galilee with Jonathan Annas' blessing, and was betrothed to Mary Magdalene because now he had a Davidic genealogy, and hopefully would get Mary pregnant with a son who would someday be a Davidic Messiah in his stead.

       Wrote Luke in chapter 3 of his Gospel:

       Verse 23-31: "And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge, which was the son Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Resa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Addi, which was the son of Cosam, which was the son of Elmodam, which was the son of Er, which was the son of Jose, which was the son of Eliezer, which was the son of Jorim, which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Simeon, which was the son of Juda, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Jonan, which was the son of Eliakim, which was the son of Melea, which was the son of Menan, which was the son of Mattatha, which was the son of Nathan, which was the son of David."

       Whoever drew, painted, or pasted up this picture, possibly from other pictures available to them has used a pose for Jesus here with a lamb on his lap that is quite similar to his pose on a stone obelisk my friend and frequent correspondent Suzanna Olsson found in Phalgam, a suburb of Srinagar, Kashmir.   I am as certain that what Sue found is a picture of Jesus Christ as most would be that Jesus Christ is represented above as sitting on the grass with Lord Kristna."  The cross on the arm of the throne Jesus is sitting on in Kashmir makes the identity of Jesus even clearer than it would be otherwise.

         The person who sat on this throne, the throne of Kashmir, before Jesus did, was his father Joseph, but without the animals lined up round the throne and the lamb on his lap.  The identity of both these kings is so obscured in the highly mythical Kashmir history book as to make it a puzzle very difficult to solve.    But by using "Gospel Pesher" techniques I learned from Dr. Barbara Thiering, PhD in Jesus and the Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls I was indeed able to solve two  riddles.  The riddle of "Who was Sandhimati?"  And "Why was he crucified?"  For Sandhimati could have also had a cross on the armrest of his throne.   Indeed the cross my have been put there during the final part of Sandhimati's reign.  He was crucified about 23 AD, and Jesus, his son, began his reign 2 years later in 25 AD, so there was time to do it.  And it must have been a reminder from the word "Go" to Jesus what fate might await him if he chose to go the same route his father had gone. 

Sandhimati

"In his book "A Search for the Historical Jesus", Fida Hassnain mentions the story of the crucifixion of Sandhimati (spelling it Samdimati) but neglects to notice that Sandhimati is in Kahlana's kings list as reigning from 22 BC to 25 AD.  Perhaps this chart is not in Hassnain's book.  There are several translations of Kahlana's book and not all the details agree.  Obvious also when we compare the crucifixion story itself in Hassnain's book with my version of Kings of Kashmira. This story is on page 192 and 193 of "A Search for the Historical Jesus."

Fida Hassnain, an honored scholar pictured on the right, remarks on page 193, "The above account is curious because it is the only recorded incident of crucifixion in the long history of Kashmir.  This account, recorded by Kalhana in about 1148 AD, proves that in the early twelfth century, there existed a faded impression of a person having been put on a cross by the king.

    Fida Hassnain's degrees, honors, and books--Click Here

        Fida Hassnain's translation of Kings of Kashmira, at least as Hassnain is quoting it, seems to indicate this crucifixion took place OUTSIDE of Kashmir, and that the crucified man, once resuscitated or resurrected, was carried back to this area -- an important point.  My version of Kings of Kashmira gives the impression the whole episode occurred in Kashmir in some sort of cemetery or desert place there.  It's an important difference, so I'll quote my book, then refer to Hassnain's book afterward to consider this point.   The names of the participants are the same.  A king who crucified someone who was a good man and a rival expected to take his place.  A victim named Sandhimati or Samdimati.   And a guru named Issana who in my book is mostly an onlooker, but in Hassnain's book travels "through the air" to find his crucified disciple, and carries him back to India or the Kashmir area.   With the Muslim traditions of St. Issa and of a Jesus who sent someone else to be crucified in his place, Hassnain understandibly confuses Issana with Jesus, and has no idea who Sandhimati might be.

       Crucifixion of Sandhimati

Kings of Kashmira

Jogesh Chunder Dutt's Translation

       Page 29 "(Vijaya) was succeeded by his son Jayendra of great fame, whose long arms reached to his knees.    He had a minister named Sandhimati, a devout worshipper of Shiva; but the king led by his flatterers suspected him of evil designs because of his great wisdom.  He was forbidden to approach the king, his property was confiscated, and he was reduced to poverty for the rest of his days.  Nor was there any officer of the court who spoke to him, for the courtiers are but echoes of the king. But neither the anger of the king or his own poverty ruffled his temper; for still he passed his days happily in the worship of his god."

     "Even in his devotions he was not suffered to remain in peace.  There was a rumour this time would come when Sandhimati would reign.   His enemies at court hinted to the king that the ex-minister had spread this rumour; and the king, alarmed at the possible consequences, threw Sandhimati into prison, chained with a heavy chain.   There he remained for ten years till the time of the king's death."

      "When the last days of the king approached, the pain of his illness was aggravated by his fear that the imprisoned Sandhimati would succeed him, as he was childless.  And to remove his anxieties, he intended to execute the minister.   But however wisely man may contrive for his good, it is in the power of Fate, to turn it to his evil.  If there be a spark of fire, and man wishes to put it out, and if Fate would have it otherwise, the man mistakes the pot of melted ghee (grease?)  for water and pours it over the fire."

      'Now by the cruel king's order the executioners impaled Sandhimati in the night, and when the king heard that the minister was dead, his heart became light; but he died soon after.  He reigned for thirty seven years, and died without a child."   

     As I look now at this picture I have chosen to illustrate that someone who preserved the history of Sandhimati in Kashmir wanted to show parallels between him and the Biblical Joseph I can now see it illustrates a very obvious point, Joseph was a white Jewish youth surrounded by black-skinned Egyptian men.   And if we are to believe what Chunder-Dutt has placed in his king's list on page xx of his appendix, and again on page vi in his history, an alias for Sandhimati was Aryyaraja. Roughly translated that's the "White Rajah". (In Hassnain's "A Search for the Historical Jesus" this otherwise erudite scholar has taken this name "Aryyaraja" to mean Sandhimati was not a King of Kashmir, but an "Aryan" prince of another country.   Page 192 "Kalhana states that a great saint by the name of Issana lived at Issabar, on the bank of Lake Dal in Kashmir.  He had many disciples and the chief among them was Samdimati, the prince of the Aryans.  This disciple was so great that in every house they said: To Samdimati shall belong the kingdom!")  The point is a similar one whether we see Sandhimati as "Aryan" or a Kashmir Jew of the "Lost Tribes of Israel" (to which Joseph supplied 2 tribes, Ephriam and Manasseh,) --- he was pale-skinned and did not have typical dark Indian skin and facial features!

      Chunder-Dutt continues on page 31. "The kingdom was for a few days left without a king.  At last Sanhimati, [who, it appears, was falsely reported to the king as dead,] was selected by the citizens to reign over them (as was Joseph as prime minister under Pharaoh in the Bible - RH); and he reluctantly, and only at the request of his guru, ascended the throne."

      "Dressed in royal clothes, and midst the shouts of his subjects who scattered parched grain in his way, he entered the capital with his army.  An experienced man as he was, he governed wisely, without being taught, and did everything in a perfect manner. [First clue that Sandhimati was an Essene, those who were doing things in a "perfect manner" in the Wilderness of Judea by the Dead Sea]. He was not susceptible to the fascinations of women [Second clue that Sandhimati was an Essene.  The Essenes, as we have noted before, were generally celibate, having as little to do with women as possible.] and his reign was peaceful [Third clue that Sandhimati was an Essene.   Said Jesus in Matthew 5:9 "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."].  But now we learn the terrible truth -- Joseph-Sandhimati is not a worshipper of YHWH, the Jewish god, but of Lord Shiva, the Hindu god!

       "He was ever pleased with burning incense and camphor; and though regular in the discharge of regal duties, he would often go to visit different Shivas, viz., Bhutesha Bardhamanisha Vijayesha and Ishana and would feel pleasure even in breathing the air that blew from the temple of Hara, bearing the particles of water with which the steps of the temple were washed, or listening to the sound of the water as it poured over the god.   He alone knew the happiness which may be derived from visiting the image of Shiva, beautiful in its simplicity, and washed after the morning service.  Every day he made one thousand Shiva-lingas."

the obelisk that I am saying is a picture of Jesus as Prince Meghavahana.

      "If through any accident he failed to do this, he would order his servants to collect a thousand stones in their stead; and after worship, threw them into a tank or river that looked like Narmada; and such a collection of stones is still to be seen."

Modern egg-shaped Shiva linga stones are still made and sold from the Sacred River Narmada

      Neither Suzanna Olsson nor Fida Hassnain are great fans of Lord Shiva, and Suzanna finds Shiva-lingas disgusting, so no wonder both read over quotations such as the above with total incomprehension.  I have, however, the explanation. Sandhimati owed his life to Lord Shiva.  It was Lord Shiva who rescued him from death and brought him back to life after he had been crucified!   The first clue is in the above quotation when Chunder Dutt lists "Ishana" as one of the Shivas that Sandhimati went to worship repeatedly and gladly   Ishana, Issana, and Issana who lived at Issabar on the banks of Lake Dal are all aliases of Lord Shiva. (Who also had so many other names, I, as a westerner, can't really keep up with them.)

Shiva as Ishana the Guru

     Once we equate Lord Shiva (who often in these stories appears disguised as a hermit or beggar, male or female) as the "Guru" of Sandhimati, we're on the trail to solve all these riddles! 

      Chunder Dutt's Kings of Kashmira Appendix, page iv-vi, "Sandhimati died impaled (crucified) by the orders of his master, and his corpse was thrown into the field where the dead were burnt; as had been stated in the text.  The story of his reviving is as follows: -- His religious instructor named Ishana, though he was master of his passions , was much afflicted to learn of his death, and went to that place to perform the last ceremonies due to the remains of his pupil. '

     "Here he found the body fixed to the pale (pike), and reduced to skeleton, the wolves having devoured the flesh; and the wind was passing through the hole in his head."

      "Ishana began to weep as he disengaged the stick from the body; and driving back the howling wolves, he dragged away the corpse from the place; the hair of his late pupil covered with dust touched his feet.  But when he was going to perform the last ceremony, the following lines marked on his forehead by Vidhata caught his eye: 'Poverty so long as he lives, ten years' imprisonment, death on a pale, and then kingdom again.'  Seeing that the first three lines had agreed with the fact, he became much anxious to know how the fourth would come to pass."

An internet picture of Vidhata, "Supreme God", "God of the Whole World".

     "He thought that Fate was irresistible, and in spite of every opposition what was writ by Fate must come to happen.  (Some stories to illustrate this).  Saying all these to himself, he watched the skeleton in hope to see it revive again."

      "Now, at midnight, while he was watching, his thoughts having driven sleep away, he felt the smell of burning incense, and then he heard the loud sound of drums.   Soon after he saw Yoginis coming that way with a burning light.  They then got hold of the skeleton and ran away with it."

Yoginis, some of which are pictured above, are athletic (Yoga) female angels or goddesses

or human females who mimic their activities.  Sometimes starved for sex.

      "Much astonished he ran after them sword in hand.  He found them among the trees, seated around the skeleton, and repairing it.  Each of them lent it a member of her own body, (note the excess arms in some of the above photos) and having finished the whole, they began to dance around it.   The corpse then rose as from a  sleep, and each of them began to caress him for which purpose they had brought him to life.  (Sort of like a plastic male doll from a modern adult superstore)."

      "When the night began to wane (and we can assume the "girls" had had enough fun with their "boy toy"), Ishana feared that they would take back the members that they had supplied, so he with a yell rushed into their circle.  The Yoginis fled at the same time bidding him not to fear, for they would not take back the members they had given, nor would they themselves be mutilated  because of their gift; and assuring him that through their blessings he would be king under the name of Aryyaraja."  [This also conveniently gives the people a reason for Joseph's white skin other than he was Jewish.  The white skin of the light-skinned Yoginis.]"

Isha Natha and Chetan Natha

     In another story of crucifixion and resurrection on page 123 and 124 of "A Search for the Historical Jesus" Fida Hassnain relates a story he titles The Hindu Version of the Crucifixion.  Hassnain is quite certain that this is most likely referring to Jesus' crucifixion, but in light of what I will tell you later, it could just as well refer to Joseph, Jesus' father, which I have identified as Sandhimati in Kashmir.  In this story I am assuming that Lord Shiva has yet another name, "Chetan Natha".

       "An ancient Hindu sutra, known  as "Natha-nama-vali", a holy Sutra of the Nath Yogis, has given a different version about the crucifixion of Jesus (Joseph?), whom they call Isha Natha.  Let me quote:

      "Isha Natha came to India at the age of fourteen.  After this he returned to his own country and began preaching.  Soon after, his brutish and materialistic countrymen conspired against him and had him crucified.  After crucifixion, or perhaps even before it, Isha Natha entered samadhi or profound trance, by means of yoga."

      "Seeing him thus, the Jews presumed he was dead, and buried him in a tomb.  At that very moment however, one of his gurus or teachers, the great Chetan Natha, happened to be in profound meditation, in the lower reaches of the Himalayas, and he saw in vision the tortures  which Isha Natha was undergoing.  He therefore made his body lighter than air and passed over to the land of Israel."

      "The day of his arrival was marked with thunder and lightning, for the gods were angry with the Jews, and the whole world trembled.  When Chetan Natha arrived, he took the body of Isha Natha from the tomb, woke him from his samadhi, and later led him off to the sacred land of the Aryans.  Isha Natha then established an ashram in the lower regions of the Himalayas and he established the cult of the lingam and the yoni there."

      It doesn't matter here whether this refers to the crucifixion of Sanhimati as Joseph, or the later crucifixion of his son Jesus in 33 AD, 10 years later, the point is that if a guru or god, be his name Ishana or Chetan Natha (or his better known name Lord Shiva) was able to see, as in this story, what was happening in Israel, and rescue one of these two from death by crucifixion, a mere 10 years difference would not impair him from doing it twice.   Which is what I am going to say happened.   Not by Yogi tricks, but by means of the superior communications and technology associated rightly with space-craft.

Lord Shiva is quite commonly pictured with space-craft, called Vimanas, and such

 space-craft in modern times have good communication and medical capabilities.

Those sighting space-craft in modern times, usually describe them as saucer-shaped, 

as in the picture below, and there are indeed, scores or maybe hundreds of such pictures.

      "It has become my studied conviction, after 30 years of occasionally seeing "strange lights in the night" and two day-time clearly visible "flying saucers", then becoming proficient in several types of Bible Codes that support "Flying Saucers" that they do indeed exist.  And I have read many of Zechariah Sitchin's books that support that we earthlings were created by what amounts to "Heavenly Astronauts".   So Lord Shiva riding around in a flying saucer ferrying Jesus and his father Joseph between Kashmir and Qumran does not in the least surprise me.  Nor should it surprise you, once you read these very supportive stories.  Jesus the pedestrian wearing down his sandals getting educated in India, Nepal, and Tibet became Jesus the "Space-craft Passenger", like his father Joseph had been, once the time was right!

 Victory over Death

Kings of Kashmira Appendix vi

       Sandhimati clothed in heavenly robes and garlands, and remembering the facts before his death, bowed to his Guru.   He, too, in excess of delight embraced him whom he never hoped to see alive again.  They then, in wise conversation, began to discuss on the worthlessness of the world.   The citizens in the meantime  having learnt what had happened came to the spot, both young and old, with the ministers of the State.   They at first doubted the identity of Sandhimati, but his speech dispelled their doubts.   The Brahmanas then bathed his newly received heavenly body in the neighboring grove, and he entered the city accompanied by his army."
