Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov is a Buddhist priest of Buryat who lived between 1852 and 1927. When he was meditating with his students, he passed away and after 30 years he was removed from his grave, adhering to his will, that Itigilov still retained the same look and position. Here is the story of Itigilov's stagnation with 10 items, which has been meditating for nearly 100 years today:
1. This interesting story begins in 1927.
This interesting story begins in 1927.
One day in 1927, Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov invites his students to join him and proclaims that he will die. He invites his students to meditate together and wills his body to be buried in a way that he has died, and to be removed from his grave after thirty years of his life. Takes the Lotus position and loses his life during meditation.
2. Itigilov is given to the soil in the lotus position just as it is will.
Itigilov is given to the soil in the lotus position just as it is will.
The years following the death of the sister-in-law are quite difficult and painful times for all faith groups in Russia ; Especially for a poor and poor country like Buryatia on the border of Mongolia. The Soviet Union under the Stalin administration , at that time, suppressed all religious beliefs, executed hundreds of Buddhist priests, and placed a total of 46 Buddhist temples.
But anyhow, after the 2nd Civil War, Josef Stalin comes with compassion and allows Buddhists to reconstruct the worship places of worship near Buryatia. Even though the pressure for the realization of the Buddhist practices is not entirely clear, Buddhists build their temples and continue to live here.
3. And when 30 years have elapsed, it is time for the servant to remove himself from the earth.
And when it's 30 years from now, it's time for the governor to get out of the ground.
After 30 years of studying, they go out to the area where old worshipers are located and take them out of the cemetery, and their masters are still sitting in the lotus position and the body is found almost intact. Itigilov's body resisted the natural process of decay and remained steadfast for 30 years.
4. Again, Itigilov's students return to protect their teachers.
On this, Itigilov's students return to protect their teachers.
Stalin is now dead, but Soviet participation is still ongoing. For this reason, students will salvage their masters' bodies and show off a hidden and nameless scene. Damba Ayusheyev, one of the students of Itigilov, explains:
"We banned him from moving our new temple, it was impossible, so we had no choice but to hide it."
5. And after the burial of Itigilov, the Buddhist priest Bimba Dorzhiyev devotes himself to enlighten this mysterious event.
And after the burial of Itigilov, the Buddhist priest Bimba Dorzhiyev is dedicated to enlightening this mysterious event.
Dorzhiyev first found an old 88-year-old Buddhist priest who witnessed the removal of Itigilov's grave, and learned from it the location of the grave. After 75 years of his death, the tomb reopens and this time the event is not secret; A record of the incident, dozens of witnesses, a forensic medical specialist and photographers are at the head of the grave to see this extraordinary case. As a result, Itigilov's body, removed from his grave, is seen to have been preserved in the same way despite the 75 years passed.
6. The body of Itigilov is transported to a new temple in Ivolginsk with a great ceremony since the presses were left at the time.
Since then, the pressure has been gone, and the body of Itigilov is moved to a new temple in Ivolginsk with a great ceremony.
At the order of Hambo Lama Ayusheyev, the religious leader of the time, the corpse is placed in a sheltered section of the temple. Ayusheyev's thoughts on the subject are as follows:
"This is the greatest miracle that can happen to me in life, and it seems that there can be events that have no say on time."
Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov, the 12th Hambo Lama, came to the world in 1852 in Tsarist Russia.
Dashi-Dorzho Itigilov, the 12th Hambo Lama, came to the world in 1852 in Tsarist Russia.
Itigilov, who was orphaned at a very young age, attended the buddhist temple in Buryatia at the age of 16 and began his education. In 1911 he was nominated to become the Hambo Lama (religious leader of the region) with a few other monks, and by consolidating his belief in Buddhism in the region he lived under, he gathered the different fractions of religion under a single roof.
8. Scientists are still working on how this mysterious event might be possible.

Expert Vladislav L. Kozeltsev, from the Center for Biomedical Technologies in Moscow, says that the salt placed in the coffin may have slowed decay but not enough data to explain the situation alone. Another possibility to consider is that the protection of the position of the soil type or the coffin in the region may have been possible. However, these possibilities do not seem plausible since the grave was replaced during the process and the coffin was salted 30 years after the death of the priest.
9. Opinions about this unusual event, which science can not explain, differ.
Opinions about this unusual event that science can not explain are different.
According to Kozeltsev, the most probable possibility is that Itigilov's genius contains a difference that will prevent the decay of the body. The researcher also says that we will not know if the body has been mummified or not.
According to Hambo Lama Ayusheyev, Itigilov's situation is related to the fact that he reached "Shunyata", the highest order of enlightenment.
10. Today the Ivolginsk temple, where the body is exhibited, is Russia's most popular center of Buddhism and thousands of people visit Itigilov every year.
Today the Ivolginsk Temple, where the body is exhibited, is Russia's most popular center of Buddhism and thousands of people visit Itigilov every year.
The body of Itigilov is still on display today at the Ivolginsk Temple, dressed in a yellow gown and a blue belt. The face, of course, does not have the vitality of a living person, but it is still recognizable when compared with the photograph taken in 1913; The skin is still soft and warm in comparison.
