Ram Bomjon--Buddha Boy

There is a 15 year old boy in Nepal who is attracting a lot of attention from local buddhist devotees for apparently fasting and meditating for approximately 6 months.

Many people are coming to see him because his story mirrors that of the historical Buddha--it is claimed that he meditated without food or drink for 49 days under a pipal tree and then gained enlightenment.

This boy has already been under his pipal tree for longer...scientist and physicians are unable to confirm if he has actually gone without food or drink, they are only able to see him from 5 yards away, and therefore they are only able to confirm that he is alive....
