and clear awareness are to be developed at all times, inpre-Buddhist yogic practices there is no such injunction.

SUMMARY Ram Bahadur Bomjon is from Ratanapuri village,

Bara district, Nepal. Some of his supporters haveclaimed that he is a reincarnation of the Buddha.

He drew thousands of visitors and media attention byspending months in meditation. Nicknamed theBuddha Boy, he began his meditation on 16 May2005. He reportedly disappeared from the hollowtree where he had been meditating for months on 16March 2006, but was found by some followers a weeklater.

On 10 November 2008, Bomjon reappeared in Ratanapuri andspoke to a group of devotees in the remote jungle.

He told them he had left his meditation place, where largecrowds had been watching him, "because there is no peace".

He then went his own way and reappeared elsewhere in Nepalon 26 December 2006, but left again on 8 March 2007. On 26March 2007, inspectors from the Area Police Post Nijgadh inRatanapuri found Bomjon meditating inside a bunker-likeditch seven feet square.

their hearts, and their connection to one anotherthrough the all-encompassing soul.

People's true happiness consists not in usingreason but rather in reaching God through faith,or through heart.

Conclusion:

Be him an incarnate, be him kidnapped or eaten up bytigers - it is no doubt that he indeed had used Buddhistmeditation powers to cause him to go into some sort of"hibernation".

The pilgrims of the past were mostly mainstreamscientific individuals, and the many skeptics to hisrepute return believers.

The human body can indeed live without food or water.Buddhist meditation is not something psychological.
