As a result of the discovery of numerous ancient scrolls and parchments, the life and works of Jesus is today being closely examined and the historical figure with which every Christian has grown up, is now being looked at in a completely different light. There is today some controversy about whether or not Jesus was actually married to Mary Magdalene, and whether or not they had at least one child together. Some time in the 1960s I visited Srenagar in Kashmir, and by chance discovered a tomb called the 'ROZABAL' the tomb of the prophet. The inscription on the tomb read: 'HERE LIES THE BODY OF YUZ ASAPH, KNOWN TO MANY AS JESUS'. This fascinated me and inspired me to want to know more.
As a result of my visit to Srenagar I have spent more or less thirty years researching the prophet Yuz Asaph, and the material I have collected has culminated into a book I have written entitled IN THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS.
There is quite a lot of evidence to suggest that Jesus survived the crucifixion and was delivered to a tomb owned by his uncle Joseph of Arimathea. It is quite interesting to note that this tomb was not filled with earth, as is Judaic custom, but simply had a stone placed over the entrance.
The evidence suggests that once Jesus had recovered from his ordeal, he travelled incognito using the name Yuz Asaph. 'Yuz' is taken from the Hebrew Yusu meaning 'Jesus', and Asaph is the Arabic for 'the gatherer' - one who was to gather the lost tribes of Israel.
Accompanied by Mary Magdalene, his mother and other devotees, Yuz Asaph allegedly travelled to many countries throughout the east. Archaelogical and historical evidence has shown that Yuz Asaph most definitely visited India, Persia and Tibet. In one particular Tibetan monastery there are parchments containing writings which bear the hallmark of the teachings of Jesus, and it is also widely known throughout the east that Jesus travelled far and wide after the crucifixion.
Although Jesus' mother simply 'disappears' in the bible and is not mentioned from then on, there is evidence that she died on the border of Pakistan in a place that used to be known as 'MARI', named after Mary. Today it is called MAI MARI DA ASTHAN, meaning 'The Resting Place of Mother Mary', and her tomb is visited by pilgrims from all over the world.
Jesus' entrance inro Kashmir can be historically traced through a valley called YUSU MARGH, the valley of Jesus, which is obviously named after him. Somewhere along the way there is some evidence that he did marry Mary Magdalene and that she bore his child, whom they called Sarah. In fact, although they do not openly accept that Sarah was the daughter of Jesus, she is worshipped as the saint of Romany Gypsies throughout Southern France.
Living in Kashmir today there is a man who claims to be a direct descendant of Jesus. SAHIBZADE BASHARAT SALEEM, has in his possession the genealogical table detailing his ancestry right back to Jesus. He is also known in Kashmir as a man with wonderful healing abilities.
Yuz Asaph is believed to have lived in Kashmir until he died at the ripe old age of 129. Some years ago a tablet of stone was discovered in the tomb, bearing the footprints of Jesus and showing the crucifixion marks. Today Jesus is known throughout Kashmir as St Isana, the white Saint. It is also interesting to note that the Yadu Jews can be found in Srenagar, fair skinned with western features, some of the lost tribes Jesus set out to find.

Although there has been some controversy about the Shroud of Turin, there is some evidence to suggest that this was one of Christianity's greatest cover ups, and that the shroud was really the burial cloth of Jesus. Other research revealed that the Turin Shroud was in actual fact a table cloth - probably the one used at the Last Supper. According to messianic tradition this was the custom. Further more, on closer scrutiny it was revealed that there was in fact a coin placed over each of Jesus' eye, dated at more or less the time of the crucifixion.
Another interesting point was the reference made to the Virgin birth. This in fact was only mentioned very briefly in Mathew and Luke, and is not mentioned anywhere else in the bible. In fact, the story of the Virgin Birth was not apart of the original teachings, but was clearly interjected into the bible by later writers. Great pains are taken in the bible to show the genealogy of Joseph, proving beyond doubt that he was the natural father of Jesus.
