The Hemis monastery scrolls found by Nicolas Notovitch during his journey to Ladakh in 1887 indicates that Jesus spent the lost-years of his life, between the ages 13 to 29 in India, where he was known as Saint Issa, learning from the Hindu and Buddhist masters and preaching to the people. This was confirmed by the testimony of Swami Abhedananda who visited Hemis in 1922, and by Nicholas Roerich during his wide-ranging expedition across Central Asia from 1924-1928. Afterwards, the Hemis scrolls appear to have been locked away in a storeroom by the lamas, fearing they will be carried off. Jesus's 18 year sojourn in the East is further validated by the depiction of yoga mudras in Orthodox art, and the various yoga siddhis demonstrated by Jesus in the Gospel accounts.

Yogic knowledge had spread far and wide in the ancient world. My research into the Olmec culture of Mesoamerica had revealed that the Olmecs were ardent practitioners of hatha yoga – a set of asanas or postures that balances and aligns the body, mind, and spirit. I had discussed this in a previous article titled "Olmec Yogis with Hindu beliefs: Did they migrate from ancient China?"

Quite unexpectedly, I also came to a startling realization: a large number of religious icons of the Orthodox Christian Church depict Jesus, Mary, and the saints performing hand-gestures which correspond exactly to specific yoga mudras. This suggests that, meditation using yoga mudras may have formed an essential part of the spiritual practices of the early Church.

The Olmec Yogis 

A few years back, in course of a long trip through Mexico, I had visited the La Venta Museum in Villahermosa. The open-air museum has an enticing collection of Olmec sculpture, including three colossal Olmec stone heads. The artifacts had been moved here from the Olmec settlement of La Venta in western Tabasco when petroleum exploration in La Venta threatened the safety of these rare archaeological specimens.
