In Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda introduces Trailanga Swami as a famous 300-pound swami who mysteriously rarely ate and lived daily life in the nude, "utterly unconscious of his nakedness". He was thought to have lived for over 300 years, to drink deadly poisons with no ill effect, and to sit atop or below the Ganges for long periods of time; all proving that he "lived by divine consciousness."
