Hall of Famer
I think it was the same guy - or perhaps a bit of copycat self mutilation going on. Before rolling, Lotan Baba stood for years - and only ate grass. At about the year 5 stage, he decided to up the ante and change to only standing on one leg.Agree. He should look elsewhere, seriously considering any decent offers. IF Langdon returns, Shaz will be battling to get a game.
Your Rolling Saint reminds me of 'Standing Baba' in Puri in the 1990s. He had not lain or sat down for 7 years. With his long flowing hair and beard and tall, skinny figure, he looked like an Indian Jesus Christ. He slept hanging on to the seat of a swing strung from a branch of the tree under which he lived. His territory was marked out by rocks on the ground. Every week or two he'd hold a dinner party, to which he seemed to invite foreigners boasting a generous supply of charas (hashish) along with fellow sadhus willing to help relieve these foreigners of their stash.
A happy medium between rolling and standing is probably the optimum stance from which to engage life.
