Secret Tibet - Fosco Maraini [1951/2000, pg 52]
Princess Pema Choki, the daughter of a Himalayan maharajah, claims that as a young girl she would regularly visit her uncle, a famous thaumaturge:
‘He was the most extraordinary man I have ever met. ...He did what you would call exercises in levitation. I used to take him in a little rice. He would be motionless in mid-air. Every day he rose a little higher. In the end he rose so high that I found it difficult to hand the rice up to him. I was a little girl, and had to stand on tip-toe. There are certain things you don’t forget!’
