Devraha Baba was a siddha who lived for over 250 years, before entering samadhi in 1989. So elderly was he that the first President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than fifty years ago, said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child - that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century - and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. Devraha Baba never took food, and never set foot on the ground. He lived in a unique hut that was raised off the ground by bamboo poles. This rare video footage was recorded for a russian television channel around 1987-1989, so it is not in English.

a little bit more about what the reporter was saying in Russian:

1st minute :
Devraha Baba is living in wood platform-house,
he rare go down to earth, just to swim in the river
he has many (about 3000) guests every day,
for health, blessing
among them are famous people
they sit near fence and wait for their tern to come to talk to him.
they wait when he will call them by waiving his hand, he is not except everybody: some have to go away.

sorry,I must go away now ))))
