Sadhus (ie, a monk - hermit ) Baba Amar Bharati for the past 38 years, holds his right hand with fingers gripped in a fist raised over his head and, as claimed, for all this time it did not draw a second. Ironically, over the years, withered hand with protruding nails in all directions, has become something of a symbol of faith for a huge number of Hindus who worship Lord Shiva.

Forty years ago, Amar does not stand out from the crowd of their fellow citizens. He had a job, house, wife and three children, but this has not stopped him at one point to drop everything in order to devote the rest of her life to serving the Lord Shiva.

Over 38 years of being in an upright position the hand joints are completely atrophied, so that Bharati, even if it is wanted, now it will not be able to operate.
Sadhu acknowledged that at first felt a pain, but after 7 years of his hand has lost all sensitivity, and after 15 years, he has completely forgotten about its existence. But instead of a lost limb sadhu found harmony with the inner ... In addition, the all-India Amar became a celebrity and revered by believers as a holy.

He did not change clothes for years, do not wash, no one saw him standing on his feet, or sleeping. Neither the time nor the contrasts of climate it does not exist.

All this is beyond human comprehension. Nobody ever saw him signs of the disease, although he has not protected from the vagaries of nature. Some supernatural force directs all his strange life, ...

Started it all with the fact that Rahm made ​​a vow not to sit or lie down for 41 days - for the mortification of the flesh in order to speed up their enlightenment. But after the said period, he felt the need to continue the stoic heroism.

Another Indian monk, Agastya from Bengal, aims to raise money for the construction of the temple itself is not set, but still only for religious reasons sat in yoga posture with a raised right hand during the entire ten years - before moving on to another world. The birds settled in on his arm slot and chicks taken out, and Agastya did not even budge.
According to many fans, Agastya was the person for whom pleasure and physical pain - nothing but an illusion, because he preached the cult of Maitreya.
Of course, initially it was bad enough, but over time continue to stay so on Agastya (as Amara Bharati Baba ) is not difficult: his hand as if frozen, it has almost stopped the blood circulation. In the end, completely hand of the monk ceased to act and feel. And even after his death remained elevated. When Agastya put into the grave to put the body of the earth, the arm was in the same position.
