From Ganga Natha:
An Indian saint named Devraha Baba, who passed away in 1989, was a
yogi who attained tremendous longevity. Devraha Baba was from the
spiritual heritage of the Avatar Ramanandacharya, and lived beside the
Yamuna river in Mathura. He lived on a 12-foot-high wooden platform
where he usually remained stark naked. He never ate food. He only
drank water from the Yamuna river. He claimed he could be in two
places simultaneously (a siddhi described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras).
He was observed to have stayed underwater unaided for half an hour. He
always radiated love. He was a Premaswarupa, an incarnation of love.
He gave darshan (spiritual blessing) to devotees who came to pay
homage. Many came to visit this great illustrious saint. People came
from all over India and from all walks of life. He was a favorite
among India's senior politicians, and was visited by Mrs. Indira and
Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. Ministers, saints, yogis, priests, rich and poor all
came for Baba's darshan.

It was rumored that Devraha Baba claimed that he had lived for over
700 years. Until I can substantiate this rumor I need to consider it
just a rumor. Nevertheless, I make mention of this rumor because
Devraha Baba's family tree records place his age to be at least 250
years when he took mahasamadhi (relinquished his body) in 1989. If he
was able to live to be 250, then it is possible that he lived for 700
years as well. Baba was called, "The Ageless Yogi." Devraha Baba
gained mastery over the khecheri state of yoga whereby he was able to
control his hunger and the time of his death. Dr. Rajendra Prashad,
who was the first president of India, verified Devraha Baba's old age.
He said that he personally attests to Devraha Baba being at least 150
years old. He said that when he was 73 years old, his father took him
to see Baba, who was a very old man, and that his father already had
known Baba for many years before that. An Allahabad High Court
Barrister had stated that seven generations of his family had sat at
the feet of Devraha Baba. Incidentally, Devraha Baba had predicted the
time of his death five years in advance.
