Man Lifts Planes, Elephants
Earlier this month 'spiritual teacher' Sri Chinmoy lifted a 5,322lb airplane off the ground. And the guy is 73 years old. I know there's got to be some trick here. How exactly did he lift that much weight? Was he using a lever of some kind? This weight-lifting success follows on the heels of a little 3,100 mile jog he and some of his followers did. Not a cross-country jog, mind you. No, they jogged around a city block in Jamaica, Queens. It took them seven weeks, running for 18 hours a day. The jogging I'm perfectly ready to believe. The weight-lifting, I'm not so sure about.

Hey, If it's in Asbury Park Press, it must be gospel. That's Springsteen country, ya know!

Dunno about this, but my gf went to one of 'maestro' Chinmoy's concerts (they're free, yet advertized with huge poster campaigns, billboards etc - where's the wonga coming from?)... she said that while he used a huge array of instruments he patently couldn't play any of them. The concert hall ended up 90% empty...

Hmmm, maybe I could be a Spiritual Teacher too. I can't play a large number of instruments, either.

This guy is an all-around fraud and fake -- and a creepy one too. Check out the "critical" links at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Chinmoy

It is well known that all of Sri Chinmoy's weightlifting tricks involve the use of levers and also some trick photography. Have a look on the site of Rick Ross for example:
