In late 2005, a young boy in Nepal hit the world news for a remarkable feat he was performing. He had reputedly been going without food or water for over six months. In addition, he had been sitting in a lotus position during the entire time and had not gone to the bathroom or left his meditation spot.
This feat attracted thousands of  pilgrims thinking that he was/is some kind of god
or possibly the reincarnation of Buddha.

There are many who will instantly dismiss this story at the mere mention of something that doesn't
fit their religion, or lack of religious belief.  Pride closes the mind.
