Some time ago I happened to catch his movie on tv.
I saw the episode where he stayed several days underground buried alive with no food.
I then remembered the stories of my late grandfather about his grandfather (my great great grandfather). In those days, people had powers (sakti) and my great2 grandad practiced his powers by burying himself for 40 days and 40 nights with no food nor water. I forgot the name of this activity (i'll ask my dad if i remember). Anyway, he stayed there buried alive with no coffin. He only had a string hung up a tree. Everyday someone would tug the rope and he'd tug back to indicate that he's still alive.
Sounds like a tall tale? I would think the same if I had not seen with my own eyes what powers my grandfather had. My cousin also has these powers but it seems that the powers diminish slightly with every generation. I once asked my grandad why this was so and he told me it was because the powerful gurus are afraid that their students will have greater power than him/her. So usually the students are each given partial powers.
And now these powers are dissapearing with each passing generation.
