The
Rishis and Yogis of ancient India used to meditate not only for hours, but for
days; not only for days, but for weeks; not only for weeks, but for months and
years at a time. But, an inquisitive mind asks – what about food, their daily
chores – don’t they have to get up for that?
Those are
not just stories. Ancient wisdom was capable of imparting some of the wonderful
powers to humans – which modern man calls super natural. Even in the present
age there are many instances where Yogis meditate for months without water or
food, without even getting up.
In 2005,
a young boy of age 14 in Nepal, told his mom that he is going for meditation
and will return after attaining self-realization. He told his mom not to worry
about him or his health. He went outside the town and sat under a tree. He
continued his meditation for more than 6 months without moving from his
meditative posture. His name is Ram Bahadur Bomjon and he is 26 years old now. He
can sit in meditation like ancient day Yogi – for months at a stretch.
