Is The Boy With Divine Powers (ram Bahadur Bomjon) Real?

[Josh2]

Hey there,

I came accross a boy named Ram Bahadur Bomjon who is supposed to be a boy with divine powers. When I watched a documentary of the boy, I was fascinated how they filmed him for 5 days. He did not eat nor drink anything within those days. He was supposedly doing the same for 10 months before the filming. I am aware of the scientific studies to how long a human can survive without water or food, but can this really be possible?? Besides, he has been aiming to meditate for 6 years to attain buddhahood. I have been inspired by this boy and I have not found any sources on the internet yet that have told me that the boy had been a sort of scam...I would like to know the opinion of others and of Leo, to see, if this what the boy is doing is actually possible for others to achieve. Please note that I am trying to find the truth and not stressing or talking about religious dogma.

Best Regards, Nick
