He has reputedly been doing so without food or water since May. Sujit Mahat, Associated Press Enlarge photo» KATMANDU, Nepal — A teenage boy has been meditating in a Nepalese jungle for six months, and thousands have flocked to see him, with some believing he is the reincarnation of Buddha, police and media said. Ram Bahadur Banjan, 15, sits cross-legged and motionless with eyes closed among the roots of a tree in the jungle of Bara, about 100 miles south of the capital, Katmandu.
He's supposedly been that way since May 17 — but his followers have been keeping him from public view at night. A reporter for the Kantipur newspaper, Sujit Mahat, said he spent two days at the site this week and that about 10,000 people are believed to visit daily. Soldiers have been posted in the area for crowd control, officials said.
Others aren't so sure. "We could not say what happens after dark," Mahat said.
