I'm sorry- I didn't notice that you were more interested in Yogananda's belief in the existence of the documents than in the existence of Issa. It appears we're having two different discussions here. My mistake.

Re: Daya Mata:

"Sri Daya Mata, president of Self-Realization Fellowship, went to India in 1959, and in an interview with one of India's great spiritual leaders, His Holiness Sri Bharati Krishna Tirtha, the Shankaracharya of Puri, she mentioned that she had been told that Jesus "spent some of his life in India, in association with her illumined sages. His Holiness replied, 'That is true. I have studied ancient records in the Puri Jagannath Temple archives confirming those facts. He was known as "Isha," and during part of his time in India he stayed in the Jagannath Temple. When he returned to his part of the world, he expounded the teachings that are known today as Christianity'""

I don't believe I said she saw the documents- just that she was one of many who testified to the oral tradition of Issa. Most, if not all, in that list were the same.

I didn't list any Tibetans because they are variously referred to in that interesting article I posted as: 'the lamas', 'the lamas', 'the librarian of the convent', 'two other monks', 'a lama at the monastery'.

Far more interesting to me than the existence, or lack thereof, of some documents, is the existence of Issa- or Jesus travelling in India/Tibet. This idea must give Christian missionaries a complete apoplectic fit- as it did to that noted pro-Christian Max Muller.

Even if some documents are discovered, I cannot for a second imagine that the Christian world would accept them as being valid. That's why, for me, those documents are not important. But I can see your interest in them, and respect that.
