The Mystic Powers of Meditation Varanasi india this ancient city overlooking the sacred ganges river is one of the holiest in the hindu religion for thousands of years worshipers have come to this site to perform meditation and prayer in ancient times hindu holy men known as swamis were said to have used these rituals to attain eternal life in the yoga sutras there's a whole chapter called vibhuti pada where patanjuli explains how by certain meditative practices one can get these powers to extend the lifespan of a particular body in india you have a long history of holy people swamis who've been able to figure out how the world works how their body works how the universe works and are able to live very very long periods of time you have devrahaba who died in 1990 and was believed to be 250 years old swami trilinga who died in 1887 believed to be you know 280 years old if you would ask most indians about long-lived yogis and swamis one of the names that will almost inevitably come up is that of trilanga swami and he was observed by not only many indians in benares but also by the british authorities there in the late 19th century so a lot of what he said and taught and did has been documented and recorded by many witnesses they testify to his extraordinary long life for many it may be hard to believe that daily prayer and meditation can provide age-defying powers but hindu mystics aren't the only examples of people who are believed to have used the power of faith to live for hundreds of years if we look at the bible we have these great stories of holy people who've lived tremendous amounts of time the bible says methuselah lives for 969 years noah lives for 950 years adam lives for 930 years so these are tremendous lifespans of people living according to the biblical text of almost a thousand years many in modern times question is this to be taken literally did people really live that long and the answer from tradition is yes they did this is nothing new this has very ancient foundations very well documented in the biblical traditions but equally well known in traditions around the world regardless of the culture there is many legends about the taoist immortals or about the tibetan immortals as there are amongst the hebraic immortals there's this idea that because these people are literally directly communicating with the divine with god are they given other instructions are they given other secrets are they given other kinds of hints that allow them to live much longer lives than we live is it really possible that those with a deeper spiritual connection to the divine age more slowly and can potentially develop the power to live hundreds of years perhaps the answer can be found by examining the hindu swami who has performed meditation and prayer every morning without fail for over a hundred years my name is at 125 years old swami sivamanta practices a strict daily regimen of meditation and exercise which he credits as the reason for his incredible longevity the practice is a sacred hindu ritual known as pranayama banan means a kind of physical purification and mental consideration it is a process by which all the evil natures come out from our body when such an advanced spiritual practitioner sits in meditation what they are actually doing is obviously quietening the body making it absolutely still then they are quietening the breath that means slowing it down even to the point of actually stopping sometimes it's one of the teachings in vedanta that by certain meditative practices the lifespan of the swami or the monk is extended by the will of god so that a person can remain as a sort of continuous living blessing to those around him.
