Twelve years without sitting or lying down: The monk does not give up despite the increasingly dire consequences (PHOTO)

An Indian sadhu named Daulat Giri Ji Maharaj has committed to standing upright for 12 years without sitting or lying down, a practice known as 'redovništvo' within his religious order, Khareshwari. He has maintained this posture since 2021, enduring severe physical health complications over five years. His legs are swollen, darkened, and unable to support his weight independently, requiring special harnesses and structures to assist him. Medical professionals warn of serious risks including poor blood circulation, deep vein thrombosis, and high blood pressure due to prolonged immobility. Despite these dangers, Maharaj remains determined to complete his 12-year vow, supported by caretakers who aid him daily.
