250+ Year Old Devraha Baba of Vrindavan w/ video

Devraha Baba was a siddha who lived for over 250 years, before entering samadhi in 1989. So elderly was he that the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than fifty years ago, said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child - that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century - and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time.
This rare video footage was recorded for a russian television channel around 1987-1989, so it is not in English.

I dont know if this is true or not, but imagine being born in the 1700's and watching history go by before your eyes.

Amazing story and truly an amazing peace of History. Good post.

Guy just looks old to me, not 250 old though.

What proof is there that this man could actually live that long?

That is truly a bizarre video - from what i gather from the commentary is that

Devraha Baba appeared on the scene in the 1950s before that nobody knows where he had been. He explains that he was born from the river and that he doesn't eat but like all yogis lives on light. He says he normally puts a pillow between his foot and the person whose head he is blessing because the power that emanates from his foot is strong enough to kill, The russian jornalist who got the full force of the power says that it feels like little needles ( doesn't seem like a tingling sensation could kill though).

My opinion is this is just another charlatan.

Well, I speak Russian and Baba said in reply to the reporter "What will happen to the world?" ... Baba: "It won't be bad".. "Nothing will happen to the world because I am praying for it" . Ha!

I'll believe it when I see authentic birth and death certificates, or an organization like Guinness confirms it.
