Forty years of continuous ecstasy<\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n
Ram Bahadur Bomjon reminds us of Balayogi, a great Indian yogi born on 1930, who spent his entire life in samadhi. Completely silent, in a meditation position, without eating or drinking, his body gaining weight nevertheless. Around him people built a temple whose doors would only open once a year, every Mahashivaratri. The essence of his teaching, comprised in 18 verses is expressed through the following words: \u201eMan is above all called to perfection, just God Our Father is forever perfect in heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before his death, Balayogi predicted the following: \u201eDuring the centuries to come, in the delta of the sacred Godovari river, seven more Balayogi will be born. Starting from the age of 6 -7, they will do the meditation tapas [Balayogi followed] for many years in a row and in their next life following this asceticism, they will become kings.\u201c<\/p>\n

Born on May 9th 1989, he went into a state of continuous meditation on May 16th 2005 and disappeared without a trace on March 11th 2006. Ram Bahadur Bomjon bewildered us all at the mere age of 16. His eyes closed, motionlessly seated in a yogi position in the shadow of a tree in the Bara jungle, 150 km from Katmandu, the Nepalese capital. No water, no food. Just plain ceaseless meditation. He remained like that for almost 10 months. Meanwhile Bara turned into a place of pilgrimage because people believe the young man to be the incarnation of an ancient master.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"\/all_uploads\/uploads\/micul_balayogi_1.jpg\")
However one Saturday, March 11th, Ram Bahadur Bomjon disappeared. Whether he was kidnapped or decided to leave himself \u2013 we still don\u2019t know it until today. Only his clothes were found. More than one thousand people attended the police investigation. The boy was searched along an area fifteen kilometers wide all over the jungle. Again and again. With no results. The authorities claim that the young man decided to leave by himself. Probably chased away by the crowd rumor, by the thousand of intrigued eyes and maybe even by the commercial development in Bara.<\/p>\n
