Rare Footage of 250 Year Old Devraha Baba in Vrindavan

 

 

 

Some readers have requested us to show a video of the original Devraha Baba, so today we have added a rare video taken one year before his samadhi.

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. Devraha Baba never took food, and never set foot on the ground.

 

He lived in a unique hut that was raised off the ground by bamboo poles. This rare video footage was recorded for a russian television channel around 1987-1989, so it is not in English.

Just a humnle note - There are trees in Canada that are 5000 years old. Better one day serving Krsna's pure devotee, than a life time of a thousand years without serving the pure Vaishnavas. In anycase, Ashvatama is 5002 years old and lives somewhere in Northern India.
