Before & Beyond Christ is a groundbreaking exploration of history that looks beyond mainstream timelines and asks a deeper question: What if the moral, spiritual, and philosophical streams that shaped the world began far earlier, and flowed from a source far older than we acknowledge today?

This book traces the story of civilizations through a fresh lens — one that recognizes Bharat (ancient India) as a continuous civilizational lighthouse whose rivers of knowledge, ethics, and memory influenced the spiritual journeys of many lands.

PART I – THE SOURCE
From the time of the Vedic seers, philosophical inquiry in Bharat evolved as a living tradition. This section re-examines prophets like Abraham and Moses in the light of India’s civilizational antiquity, the archaeological memory of Bhirrana, and the evolution of Vedic knowledge — where creation itself becomes “grammar in motion.”

PART II – THE JOURNEY
Between Judea and the Himalayas lies a forgotten silence. Here, the book explores the lost years of Jesus (Īśa), the possible link between the Essenes and ancient āshrams, and how the knowledge bridges between Ashoka’s Buddhist missions and the intellectual centers of Alexandria may have carried seeds of wisdom across cultures.

PART III – THE RETURN
The story comes full circle — through St. Thomas in India, the mystical inheritors of light among the Nāths and Sufis, Guru Nanak’s divine song of Oneness, and the Indian ethic of Ahimsa that transformed civilization itself. The book ends by reclaiming a powerful truth: compassion is not weakness — it is a civilizational revolution.

A deeply researched and thought-provoking book, Before & Beyond Christ invites readers to reconsider history not as a series of disconnected stories, but as a living continuum where cultures meet, learn, evolve, and complete each other rather than displace one another.

If you are a reader of theology, history, Indic studies, comparative religions, or civilizational scholarship, this book will forever change the way you see the ancient world — and the one we live in today.
