Melkoinen joogi, tuo Swami Rama (~suamii raama). Wiki:
The phenomena recorded while he was a research subject at the Menninger Foundation in Topeka, Kansas, was spectacular.
During a series of biofeedback experiments in 1970 and 1971, Drs. Elmer and Alyce Green observed that Swami Rama could produce different brain waves at will, including theta and delta (sleep) waves, while remaining aware of his environment. He voluntarily stopped his heart from pumping blood for 17 seconds. The experimenters were surprised that, instead of stopping his heart, the Swami actually increased its speed to such an extent of 300 beats per minute that it was not pumping any blood since the ventricle had stopped and the atria merely fluttered. The effect on the circulatory system was thus the same as if the heart had completely ceased to beat.[5]
In another experiment at the same location,
He was able to create a temperature differential of ten degrees Fahrenheit between the two sides of his palm[6]
Widely reported in the mainstream media, he acquired a reputation for "achieving" remarkable psychosomatic states. The result was a sharp increase of interest in his teachings.[7][8]

Swami Rama has been accused of sexual abuse.[16] In 1997, a woman won a lawsuit regarding multiple sexual assault through Swami Rama while she was attending the Himalayan Institute in 1993.[17]
