I saw this documentary years ago, there was a scientific investigation into the older man who claimed to get everything from sunlight, but you are mixing that up with the young boy who sat under that tree meditating for over a year.

They were two different examples

The documentary was called " The Boy With Divine Powers " I have tried looking for this before but it never seemed to have made it online.

If anyone can find it, post it, it was a great documentary.

YES. The sun throws out vast amounts of energy into the universe, when this energy arrives on Earth it becomes a living energy, we clearly see this with the way plants grow and lots of other things, the human body producing vitamin D and so forth. So the sun does 100% effect us, this is mainstream science. NOW the real kicker is that FROM MY EXPERIENCE (very recently) this energy can be utilised by the human body, it can in fact sustain the human body, not i would say indefinetely for one's entire life but the body can definetely tune into this energy and be sustained by it for extended periods, the trouble is almost all humans nowadays are so far disconnected from the Earth and the universal forces they cannot tune into this or even get a sense of what i am talking about. The body is a receiver transmitter (i did not need David Icke to tell me that by the way) this is a fact, when it is optimal things are revealled to you. Again an example of this explained to you is the Star Wars films, ie- 'the force' a universal energy which binds the galaxy, something with the right know how CAN be tapped into and thus used for good or evil.

Ram Bahadur Bomjon (Sanskrit: राम बहादुर बामजान) (born c. 9 April 1990, sometimes spelt Bomjan, Banjan, or Bamjan), also known as Palden Dorje (his monastic name) and now Dharma Sangha, is from Ratanapuri village, Bara district, Nepal. Some of his supporters have claimed that he is a reincarnation of the Buddha, but Ram himself has denied this, and many practitioners of Buddhism agree that the Buddha has entered nirvana and cannot be reborn.

He drew thousands of visitors and media attention by spending months in meditation. Nicknamed the Buddha Boy, he began his meditation on 16 May 2005. He reportedly disappeared from the hollow tree where he had been meditating for months on 16 March 2006, but was found by some followers a week later. He told them he had left his meditation place, where large crowds had been watching him, "because there is no peace". He then went his own way and reappeared elsewhere in Nepal on 26 December 2006, but left again on 8 March 2007. On 26 March 2007, inspectors from the Area Police Post Nijgadh in Ratanapuri found Bomjon meditating inside a bunker-like ditch seven feet square.

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

According to the Guinness Book of Records the longest time a human has survived without water is 18 days. Bomjon, on the other hand, does not appear to break his meditation to eat or drink.

Skeptics point out that claims of surviving after several months fasting are unsubstantiated as he was sometimes unobserved between dusk and dawn; they also claim that, besides the lack of proof, such a feat would be physically impossible. Bomjon was observed remaining at the tree at least during the daytime, though no one was allowed to approach him too closely. Under such circumstances, he could have eaten at night when no one could have witnessed his doing so.

Some supporters believe that claims of inedia are less relevant than Bomjon's undisputed ability to remain nearly motionless in the same position day after day, with no regard for extremes of weather including cold winter and monsoon rains. For example, American writer George Saunders visited Bomjon and observed him through a single night, and was impressed by Bomjon's perfectly still stature, even during an evening climate which seemed unbearably cold to the much better clothed journalist.

In December 2005, a nine-member government committee led by Gunjaman Lama watched Bomjon carefully for 48 hours and observed his not taking any food or water during that time. A video recording was also made of this test from a distance of 3 meters.The Nepali government planned a more careful scientific study, but the study was never carried out.

In 2006, Discovery Channel showed a 45-minute documentary titled The Boy With Divine Powers. One of the aims was to establish whether Ram was indeed abstaining from all sustenance, water included, by filming him continuously for four days and nights. On their first attempt, in January 2006, the film crew was required to stay outside a guarded barbed-wire fence, and their camera's infrared capabilities did not pick up evidence of a body at the base of the tree where Bomjon sat during their non-stop recording. On a second attempt a few weeks later, however, the film crew was able to film Ram continuously for 96 hours, day and night, during which time he did not change his position and did not drink any fluids or eat any food. As Discovery Channel's commentator concluded: "After 96 hours of filming, Ram has defied modern science by continuing his meditation and remaining alive." According to scientists on the documentary, an average person would be expected to die from kidney failure after four days without drinking any fluids (although cases of inedia lasting for a whole week have been observed and the recorded Guinness World Record of inedia is eighteen days). The boy showed no signs of classical physical deterioration caused by dehydration. A close inspection by the film crew of the area around the tree where Ram was sitting revealed no hidden food supply or water pipes.

In 2008, Min Bahadur Shakya of the Nagarjuna Institute of Exact Methods in Kathmandu, stated that Buddhist priests have yet to investigate Ram.

Ohhh I guess I misunderstood the guys question. I see there is a story on it.

But is it possible? Fuck no. That shit is fake as press on nails.

There's no proof of him going months without it. And forget about the food. Water comes first. Way first.

Fri Mar 16, 2012 4:33 pm » by **Scarecro**

Some say it is possible.

It's called "Sun Gazing".

There are a ton of vids on youtube about it. Pretty interesting stuff!
