Life and Works of Jesus in India.
CHAPTER 21.
Ravanna sees Jesus in the temple and is captivated. Hillel tells him about the boy. Ravanna finds Jesus in Nazareth and gives a feast in his honor. Ravanna becomes patron of Jesus, and takes him to India to study the Brahmic religion.
A royal prince of India, Ravanna of Orissa in the south, was at the Jewish feast.
2 Ravanna was a man of wealth; and he was just, and with a band of Brahmic priests sought wisdom in the West.
3 When Jesus stood among the Jewish priests and read and spoke, Ravanna heard and was amazed.
4 And when he asked who Jesus was, from whence he came and what he was, chief Hillel said,
5 We call this child the Day Star from on high, for he has come to bring to men a light, the light of life; to lighten up the way of men and to redeem his people, Israel.
