Many people believe that Jesus did not die on the cross at all, but that he was taken down and cared for in time. If he did become a guru in his youth, he probably also knew how to enter into the mystic state of suspended animation. According to legend, he then immigrated with his mother and Thomas to India and Kashmir. Mary is said to have died in a place which was then India (present-day Pakistan) where her tomb can allegedly be found. Thomas, as we all know, went to South India as a missionary, and Jesus stayed at Yusmarg (“the area of the Jew”) in Indian Kashmir and is believed to have lived to be 85. His tomb, they say, can be seen in Kashmir. The monks in Ladakh still speak of when Jesus came from Kashmir to visit their monasteries. Surprising as it may sound, it is said that a person can survive crucifixion if the legs are not broken and that it takes approximately 40 days to recover.

The original German title is “Jesus lebte in Indien : sein geheimes Leben vor und nach der Kreuzigung”
The first full length book regarding a possible post-crucifixion life of Jesus Christ was written in the year 1890 by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. Ahmad, at his peak, was considered a foremost and formidable scholar of India.
This book was written in the Urdu language, and was entitled “Masih Hindustein Mein” [English: Jesus in India]. In it, with stunning detail, Ahmad traced Jesus’ entire sojourn from Galilee to Kashmir,India; he listed in detail the books of history that mention the presence of Jesus (Yuz Asaf) in India; he listed two full pages of references–from books of the Orient and the Occident–that mention the actual ointment (“Marham-i-Isa”) that was used to heal Jesus’ wounds after the crucifixion, etc.

Just because Mirza Gholam Ahmad fantasied about himself being resurrected in the name of Isa, does not mean that this makes any sense.
Jesus did not die. But Qura~n says that he was recalled. An ambasador is recalled from foreign land, does not mean that he died. Jesus was a human being, and no human being dies twice. He was taken wherever alive and he will return and live like a human being and then die his natural death.
