"I am a strong follower of Lord Shiva. I wanted to have an offspring and prayed for him. This child is god's gift to me." The proud father, who was a wrestler in his youth, puts his virility down to his high-calorie diet. He added: "My daily diet comprises of three litres of milk, half a kilo of almonds and half a kilo ghee (clarified butter). I had visited a quack in the village and he gave me some tablets but I didn't take them and threw them away."
When asked whether he was worried about his child's future, Ramajit said he would still be playing with his son in a decade. He added: "Nothing will happen to my child as I will die only if a black snake bites me and that is very far. Visit me after 10 years and you will find me in the same appearance." It is unknown how many children Ramajit has.
The farmer lives in the village of Kharkhoda in Haryana, northern India. If his claim is true Ramajit would take the title of the world's oldest dad from another Indian Nanu Ram Jogi. Nanu fathered his 22nd child at the age of 90 in 2007. Doctors have, however, questioned the validity of Ramajit's claim.

a) he's probably 74, not 94.
b) all the young neighbor men have big smiles and congratulate HIM on being the 'father'....
I doubt such a diet could lead to longevity. Some studies have found that calorie restriction increases longevity... not the other way around.
He's just lucky, that's all. And I highly doubt he'll live to see the child grow up (unless he's been lying about his age).
He doesn't look 94. MAybe 64
94 seems unlikely, though James Doohan (Scotty from Star Trek) had a child when he was 80, though he perhaps had the help of some little blue pills.
