It's hard not to be cynical about Ram Bomjon. I'm sure he's a fine person, but his brothers and family and villiage gained a lot of money and riches, and could very well have groomed or coerced him to do these things.
I'd seen these clips before ...but never the fire footage (WTF? well yogis have created most anything, so why not fire as well) Hindu saints have teleported, bilocated, swallowed poison, dematerialized, manifested food, stopped trains and more.
(Autobiography of a Yogi has countless such stories)
@1emanres Don't forget, Dharma Sangha is reported to be a strict vegetarian! :-) Apart from that, it would probably require unrealistically huge amounts of insects every day to feed a human over such a long period of time.
Btw, I remember having read a report by someone, who has visited Dharma Sangha personally and said that, while he (the visitor) was plagued by gnats while standing in front of him, Dharma Sangha was apparently not touched by the gnats at all. (Don't find that site anymore.)
My understanding of Buddhism is that its goals include deliberation from all desires. But I wondered what about basic desires such as hunger? Does enlightenment stop when the stomach begins to rumble? I did not find an answer, until hearing about Dharma Sangha's story, which seems to suggest that hunger, being affected by cold or heat, even fire, can all be overcome on the path to enlightment!(?) I agree that this would be the most consequent answer, although nearly impossible to believe...
He is in remarkably good condition for someone who should be somewhat emaciated. I can't see any indication of emaciation at all when he stood up to get out of the spontaneous fire. He certainly has a saintly amount of patience.
He and/or his hair should attract insects which he could then consume. I'm not saying he did this, only that he might have. It wouldn't be fakery or dishonest of him to do so. They would crawl up his nose if he didn't eat them with his mouth.
Spontaneous combustion can be caused by linseed oil in coiled fabric or other coiled material. Perhaps skin oil can do the same thing. I want to believe this is supernatural, but I must keep my mind open to all possible explanations. Perhaps reality itself is a supernatural illusion.
Underactive thyroid will induce this condtiion. You can survive for a very long time without food or fluid on a sufficiently underactive thyroid. Whether for THIS long, though, I don't know, and the medical person who states it in this video doesn't seem to make that clear, for some journalistic reason. I go for the meditation induced state, possibly ASSISTED by some medical disorder but not entirely due to one.
Inducing a near death state would logically produce an ongoing near death experience, complete with out of body travel, or the illusion of it. I've had near death experiences on operating tables, so this is real. Meditation plus yoga methods can make it happen. What mystifies me is the journalists, who pretend ignorance or ARE ignorant of these facts. They censor thereby the significance, the wonderful telepathic significance, of this trance state anyone may induce. Marxist journalists.
