Pathlaiya, November 18:

‘Buddha Boy’ Ram Bahadur Bamjan has added three more days of audience to devotees, whose number has been surging in Bara’s Halkhoriya forest since he made a public appearance on November 10.

Since then he has been blessing the visiting devotees. Three more days were added at the request of the devotees on Monday, said the Namo Buddha Tapoban Samrakshyan Samiti. The preaching was scheduled to end on November 18 but now the Buddha Boy will go into hiding after November 21. It is said Bamjan has not been partaking any food for the past three years.

The number of devotees started increasing after he used “Bajra” to bless them, said president of the samiti, Bed Bahadur Thilla.
