Mysterious Meditating Boy, Ram Bahadur Bamjon is Reincarnation of Buddha?

RAM BAHADUR BAMJON or Tapaswi Palden Dorje, is only 18 and he has been struck by religious empowerment. Followers say Ram Bahadur Bamjan, 18, re-emerged from the Ratanpur jungle, about 160km south of Kathmandu, after meditating without food and water for more than three years. Ram, is believed to have spent months without moving, sitting with his eyes closed beneath a tree. He drew thousands of visitors and media attention for spending months in meditation. Nicknamed the Buddha Boy, he began his meditation on 16 May 2005, allegedy disappeared from his hometown on 11 March 2006, and reappeared elsewhere in Nepal on 26 December 2006 only to leave again on 8 March 2007.

Although some may believe he is the reincarnation of Buddha and but others including the president of the Nepal Buddhist Council don’t think he can be a Buddha only by meditating. Buddha needs life experience and the young man Ram Bahadur doesn’t have it. But still he is something not to be taken lightly. He has done something everybody else think is impossible. He did stay under a tree for months and nobody could question his credibility. National Geographic team filmed him for at least 10 days and they couldn’t find him taking food or water. Science can’t explain how he could survive that long without water. The teenager staying still for months in itself is strange.
