Shruti Pandey - World's Youngest Yoga Teacher In India

At just six, Shruti Pandey is the youngest yoga trainer in the world, hailed as a miracle at Indian ashram. The bendy youngster has been teaching adults at an ashram, in northern India, for the last two years.

Her trainer, Hari Chetan, 67, set up the ashram 35 years ago and as soon as little Shruti became one of his students, as a tiny four-year old, he spotted her talents. Hari Chetan, began teaching her when she was four, and calls her a miracle and a perfectionist.

Now she starts her classes at 5.30am every morning, at Brahmanand Saraswati Dham, in the Jhunsi town, dressed in white leggings and a red t-shirt surrounded by 30 eager pupils ranging from businessmen, teachers, housewives to pensioners. Shruti said: 'It feels good when people follow my instructions, I feel like a real teacher. I got interested in yoga after seeing my brother do it. I tried picking it up myself but it was too hard. So I asked my parents to send me to yoga classes.'

Shruti Pandey has mastered some of yoga's most challenging positions. She can easily hold her entire body on the strength of her little arms and hang her legs backwards over her head. Her brother, Harsh Kumar, now 11-years-old, made the Limca Book of Records at the tender age of five by learning all 84 yoga positions - but he's never been interested in being a teacher like his sister.

Hari, who Shruti also calls her grandfather, think she's a miracle. 'She's a fast learner and a perfectionist. She grasps techniques quickly unlike kids her own age, who get bored with something as patience consuming as yoga. Shruti can manage some of yoga's most challenging positions. She can easily hold her entire body on the strength of her little arms and hang her legs right over her head backwards.

One of Shruti's fans, 90-year-old Swami Bhanu, a retired teacher, said: 'The best thing about Shruti is she tries to provide an alternative position for the complicated ones that are difficult for an older person like me to do. She's very patient.' Businessman Lokendra Pal Singh, 48, has been attending Shruti's classes for three months and said, 'I have noticed a positive change in my life. I used to be short-tempered, but now I'm able to control my anger to quite an extent and it's all thanks to a little six-year old.'

Shruti teaches yoga to classes of up to 30 adults, starting at 5:30am, at the Swami Brahmachand Saraswati Kaivalya Dham Ashram in Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh in India.

Zara Hartshorn - 13 Year Old Girl Looks 30 Years Older

Zara Hartshorn from the UK is 13 years old But she looks much older than her age. She suffers from a genetic disease called lipodystrophy that makes her look like an adult. She has the face of a grown woman, gaunt and wrinkled. But she's a frightened teen inside.

Zara Hartshorn lives at home with her mom, sisters and a brother. There is, of course, the usual rough-and-tumble and sibling bickering one would expect in a large family. But, Zara said, she feels safe and loved. No one makes fun of her, unlike every time she steps outside her front door, where she's scared. "It feels like people are looking down their noses at me and staring," she said at her home in northern England. "You know when you get that feeling you're being watched? I feel that everywhere I go." When asked what she feels when she sees her own face in the mirror, Zara said, "I don't like it. Sometimes I'll sit in my room and start pulling my skin back, stuff like that. Most teenagers worry about getting spots. I'm worried about surgery and stuff like that and when's bullying going to stop."

Jyothi Raj Karnataka-Desi Indian Spiderman

A real-life Spiderman, who lives in the southern Indian state of Karnataka, jyothi raj karnataka, 22 years old is often compared to the superhero by tourists at India’s Chitradurga Fort where he performs. Jyothi Raj has the amazing ability of being able to stick to a wall upside-down. The daredevil climber is a hero in India wowing crowds by scaling heights of up to 300ft without a harness. Everybody know him as a Desi Indian Spiderman.

The former construction worker discovered his climbing ability four years ago while scaling bamboo scaffolding. Convinced that his talent for climbing is a gift from the gods, Jyothi says he has never had an accident, he taught himself how to climb by watching monkeys climb trees. He also says, his agility has been enhanced by analyzing stunts from his favorite movies. “My ability to see the foothold that others can’t is proof to me that I was born to climb,” explains Jyothi.

Jyothi Raj trains every day to improve his upper body strength…and he uses yoga to maintain his flexibility. Jyothi says that his family are tolerant of his climbing, believing that he is in full control at all times.

Jyothi Raj has never used safety equipment (Only chalk powder) to climb with instead he prefers to hone his climbing skills on the notoriously dangerous building sites of India. Nowadays he entertains crowds at the Chitradurga fort complex: “I love to see their faces when I position myself upside down,” he says.

Having climbed the walls and rock faces in and around the fort complex, Jyothi is keen to test himself further. Now he wishes to become recognized as the world’s best climber. He says he wants to move on and climb buildings and mountains. He admires French free-climber Alain Robert, wishing to emulate his success by proving his climbing ability to the world.

jyothi raj karnataka now teaches others how to climb…and hopes to one day open his own climbing school. Jyothi occasionally climbs with a few friends. “They of course use safety harnesses, they do not have my ability to move fast or grasp the rock face”.

Risab Dev Ghimire: Amazing Boy in Nepal

This is an amazing story out of Nepal from the BBC. Januk Ghimire's son Risab Dev Ghimire, who is seven months old, has a headless "parasitic twin" attached to his abdomen and was born with extra limbs in Ramechhap, Nepal. Now thousands of people are making the pilgrimage to his small village, where some are honoring him as a god.

Some believe that Risab is the reincarnation of Ganesh, the Hindu elephant God. Ganesh is often portrayed as having several arms. Risab Dev Ghimire was born with four arms and four legs. The impoverished are worried that some see the baby not as a blessing but a curse — the reason why monsoon rains are late.

Risab's mother says that her pregnancy was a hard one, and she was in a great deal of pain before his birth. She told reporters that if it hadn't been for her husband's presence, neighbors might have killed her for being a witch after giving birth to the child. She hopes that someday Risab can have a normal life, but his father says it's unlikely they'll ever have enough money to get him the operation he will need to remove the extra limbs. Cases like Risab's are extremely rare, and occur when twins fail to separate completely from one another.
