Buddha’ boy found in the Himalaya country Nepal

Buddha’ boy found
NIJGADH, BARA, Dec 25 - 'Buddha' boy Ram Bahadur Bomjan, who went missing 10 months ago after attracting thousands of followers for his uninterrupted meditation, was found in the Charko she Jhadi jungle here Monday.
Bomjan was first seen by hunters Sunday night at a place in the jungle some five kilometers north of the Pathlaiya-Nijgadh section of Mahendra Highway. Following the sighting, journalists and locals went looking for him and finally found him Monday afternoon.
Apart from his customary long hair, Bomjan was also carrying a sword. Looking plumper than he was when he disappeared 10 months ago, the Buddha boy was meditating in the bushes. When asked why a person who believes in non-violence has ended up possessing a sword, he answered, "Gautam Buddha used to arrange for his security himself. I was forced to do so as well."
Bomjan also informed that henceforth he would meditate near the historic Halkhoriya pond, some five kilometers west of the spot where he used to meditate before his disappearance.
After information got out that he had been spotted, a large number of people, including his family and security personnel have arrived to see him. The hunters who first spotted the Buddha boy are Rajendra Kunwar, Ram Krishna Moktan, Jaya Bahadur Kunwar and Bal Krishna Ale of Dumarwana.
Bomjan, who reportedly meditated without a break and without food or water from May 16, 2005 onwards at Ratanpuri of Bara district, left his meditation site on March 11, 2006 stating that the place had lost its peace. Before leaving, he said that he would return after six years. However, he has turned up just 10 months after leaving. Bomjan said that till today, he was living in the forests of Bara, Parsa and Rautahat districts. He said he did not take food during this period, but consumed medicinal herbs found in the forest. His family, including mother Maya Devi, were extremely happy to see him return.
The Buddha boy has said he does not want his new meditation site to become noisy and that his followers should be allowed to see him only from a distance of some 10 meters. When asked what should be done with donations that his followers may make, he urged that
anything could be done
with the money as long as it is not used in business or misused.
Bed Bahadur Thingh, chief of Om Namo Buddha Sewa Samiti, who also reached the place, said he would not pressure the Buddha boy to return to his old meditation spot. Meanwhile, Bomjan's mother, happy at finding her son, was demanding that he be allowed to meditate in peace.

At 4 pm Monday, a team of security personnel from the Armed Police Force Bhadrakali barracks in Piluwa reached the site, some 15 kilometers north of district headquarters Kalaiya.
