Chilling ,Horrible and yet so moving...





This is 1963. Thich Quang Duc, the Buddhist priest in Southern Vietnam, burns himself to death protesting the government's torture policy against priests. Thich Quang Dug never made a sound or moved while he was burning. !! ]

apparently he could stay calm through the ordeal as he was a firm practicer of yoga which gives you immense strength og mind and body.

Mahabharata states that Dhritarashtra by powers of yoga had turned himself similar to wood when forest fire fire engulfed him in his renounced life as sage.
