Gospel of Jesus - Tallest Tale Never Told: The Story of Real Historical Jesus

As a literary effort, "Gospel of Jesus - Tallest Tale Never Told" is a historical fiction or religious fiction covering the historical life of Jesus Christ - from birth in Bethlehem till his death at a ripe old age of eighty in Kashmir, India and his subsequent burial there. The story is based on seven years of meticulous research of documents and folklore present in the regions Jesus ever set foot in his prodigious career. The story does straddle Judea (Israel/Palestine), Assyria (Syria/Iraq), Egypt, Central Asia, Persia (Iran), Tibet and foremost the Indian subcontinent (Bharat). It steers clear of any official religious or sanitized version and sticks to historicity as it plays out incident after incident objectively. The story telling format is somewhat unique as it is written mostly in autobiographical format alternating with third party narrative. While as a writer I have taken some liberties but nowhere is history compromised. In fact all details are researched and as true to reality as we know it - whether it challenges official sanitized version or not. Gospel of Jesus - Tallest Tale Never Told, my latest literary output, is a bold attempt at answering some of the mysteries and gaps that have been unanswered for ages in Jesus Christ's life, one of the foremost prophet and avatar in world history, and also revealing facets not known to the world at large. Not only does Jesus Christ spend his formative years (age thirteen to twenty-nine) studying in India and traveling through Central Asia, he survived crucifixion and lived till the ripe age of eighty to be buried with due honors in Rozabal, Kashmir. This is his month by month account of his life.

He is a meticulous researcher on historical topics that have gaps or mysteries awaiting explanation. One such was Jesus Christ's life and the stories about him being in India twice in his lifetime. Being of Indian origin, he has spent some dedicated time going through native literature and chronicles of Jesus in India and referenced other writers or chroniclers in Central Asia and Iran. Having done the hard yards, he had been able to piece together a month-by-month account of historical Jesus' life and write it in a novel format. It is called Gospel of Jesus - Tallest Tale Never Told. Having grown up in a multi-religious environment with missionaries, oriental and occidental, and heavily influenced by rationalists and freethinkers, he has also written on religion-related blogs and has been a keen follower of the recent surge in religion related literature. He has been unusually able to fuse his religious studies into his first published literary venture called God At Last based on the end of the world as described in all religious scriptures and boldly answers the questions whether Kallki or Jesus or Mahdi or Maitreya will come to save the world. It is being sold in bookshops and online retailers. It is also on Amazon.com and available for worldwide distribution. He also regularly delivers talk on religion and eschatology in various gatherings, maintains the site www.Godatlast.com and sells his digital copies through it.
