I created this thread to highlight some seemingly superhuman feats by yogis that had been witnessed and documented.

Sadhu Haridas is a Hatha yogi who performed a feat of surviving voluntary burial underground, without food and water, for forty days. This took place in the court of Maharaja Ranjit Singh in 1837, in the presence of French and British doctors.

Sadhu Haridas - Wikipedia.

In 1837, Haridas was allegedly buried in the presence of the Maharajah, his whole court, and French and British doctors. He adopted a sitting posture, and was covered over and sewn up in cerecloth. He was then placed inside a large wooden case, which was riveted closed and sealed with the Maharajah's own seal.

The case was then lowered into a specially-constructed brick vault. Earth was piled upon the case, and a detachment of the Maharajah's guard was placed to keep watch over the vault; four sentries mounting guard over it by day, and eight by night.

Forty days later, Haridas was disinterred in the presence of the Maharajah, his court, and the French and British doctors. His apparently lifeless body was washed with hot water, massaged, and ghee placed on his eyelids and tongue; in a short time, he had recovered.

Not a fakir then? A strong bhang lassi could do that...

Maybe the magic was in the ghee.
