It's a hoax until proven otherwise.

Dear friends,

I am sure many of you remember the "buddha"-boy. The  one who was meditating 
under a tree in Nepal. The Nepalese boy named Ram  Bahadur Bomjon - whose 
offical buddhist name is now Palden Dorje - spent many  months meditating without 
food or water. Of course he is not the first or the  last who during long 
period of meditation will abstain from drinking and  eating. But for sure, he 
managed to attract many thousands of pilgrims. By any  event he remains for many a 
fount of inspiration, leaving an open question to  all of us. Is he for real? 
Are we witnessing the appeareance of a new  bodhistava in the 21st century? 
Or is this just sensationalism or even a hoax?  

Below there is a link for an interesting video about him, and also a  second 
link to his official web-site. Maybe anyone here, who will watch the  video, 
can explain what is the "sweat", which the Lamas refused to explain (on  the 
video) claiming its a secret they canot tell. I am also pasting part of  the 
speech he delivered, during an interval of his meditation. One thing is  for 
sure, he is beautiful and his words also. Read it and take your own  conclusion. 

"Murder, violence, greed, anger and temptation have made  the human world
a desperate place. A terrible storm has descended upon the  human world,
and this is carrying the world towards destruction. There is  only one
way to save the world and that is through "dharma"
(spiritual  practice). When one doesn't walk the righteous path of
spiritual practice,  this desperate world will surely be destroyed.
Therefore, follow the path  of spirituality and spread this message to
your fellows. Never put  obstacles, anger and disbelief in the way of my
meditation's mission. I am  only showing you the way; you must seek it
on your own. What I will be,  what I will do, the coming days will
reveal. Human salvation, the salvation  of all living beings, and peace in 
the world are my goal and my path.
"Namo  Buddha sangaya, Namo Buddha sangaya, namo sangaya." I am
contemplating on  the release of this chaotic world from the ocean of
emotion, on our  detachment from anger and temptation, without straying
from the path for  even a moment, I am renouncing my own attachment to
my life and my home  forever, I am working to save all living beings.
But in this undisciplined  world, my life's practice is reduced to mere
entertainment. The practice  and devotion of many Buddhas is directed at
the world's betterment and  happiness. It is essential but very
difficult to understand that practice  and devotion. But though it is
easy to lead this ignorant existence, human  beings don't understand
that one day we must leave this uncertain world and  go with the Lord of
Death. Our long attachments with friends and family  will dissolve into 
nothingness.
We have to leave behind the wealth and  property we have accumulated.
What's the use of my happiness, when those  who have loved me from the
beginning, my mother, father, brothers,  relatives are all unhappy.
Therefore, to rescue all sentient beings, I have  to be Buddha-mind, and
emerge from my underground cave to do "vajra"  meditation. To do this I have 
to realize the right path and knowledge,
so  do not disturb my practice. My practice detaches me from my body, my
soul  and this existence. In this situation there will be 72 goddess  Kalis.
Different gods will be present, along with the sounds of thunder and  of
"tangur", and all the celestial gods and goddesses will be doing  "puja"
(worship). So until I have sent a message, do not come here, and  please
explain this to others. Spread spiritual knowledge and  spiritual
messages throughout the world. Spread the message of world peace  to
all. Seek a righteous path and wisdom will be yours." Ram Bahadur  Bomjon
