Man 'Survives Without Food' For 70 Years ?
Indian doctors are studying a remarkable 83-year-old holy man who claims to have spent the last seven decades without food and water.
Military medics hope the experiments on Prahlad Jani can help soldiers develop their survival strategies.
The long-haired and bearded yogi is under 24-hour observation by a team of 30 doctors during three weeks of tests at a hospital in the western city of Ahmedabad.
Two cameras have been set up in his room, while a mobile camera films him when he goes outside, guaranteeing round-the-clock observation.
His body will be scanned and his brain and heart activity measured with electrodes.
"The observation from this study may throw light on human survival without food and water," said Dr G. Ilavazahagan, who is directing the research.
"This may help in working out strategies for survival during natural calamities, extreme stressful conditions and extra-terrestrial explorations like future missions to the Moon and Mars by the human race."
Since the experiment began on April 22, Jani has neither eaten nor drunk and has not been to the toilet.
"The exercise of taking this yogi under the medical scanner is to understand what energy supports his existence," Dr Ilavazahagan added.
"Jani says he meditates to get energy. Our soldiers will not be able to meditate, but we would still like to find out more about the man and his body."
Jani, who dresses in red and wears a nose ring, grew up in Charod village in the Mehsana district in Gujarat.
He claims to have been blessed by a goddess when he was aged eight, which has enabled him to survive without sustenance.

Ive added 3 quotes about this article below...3 pro's n cons!

Why is this so hard to believe? There once was a time when man did not have to eat in order to survive.. allbeit several thousands of years ago!
And we are surrounded by energy, and Hinduism teaches how to harness certain types of energy and be one with everything around you.
After a few scholars recommended the Gita to me, I have started to read it, and i must say.. from scripts dating back 4 thousand years.. it's amazing. If you want energy explained logically.. this is the book to read!

how can someone say "impossible" when you youself have never tried it, through meditation its very much possible. Us westerners are sometimes the most ignorant people. The human body is an amazing instrument and nothing is impossible if you put yourself in the right mindset!

Difficult to believe but there have been similar stories in the past. Only highly advanced yogis can achieve these feats. Yogic knowledge has been in India for over 12,000 years and a lot of it has been lost and confined to a few in the last 1,000 years of destruction caused by barbarians who invaded and conqured India. At least we discovered the shampoo and knickers in India about 200 years ago. There is a lot more to discover!

Gautama Buddha hisself went 7 years without food. Jani has out-Buddha'd the Buddha by 60 full years. Marvellous or wot?

Quote:
Huh! I knew Einstein's theory 'E=mc2' was bunch of lies. I mean this old man kinda proves most physicist, biologists and their hundreds of years of research wrong. Either that or sky is having serious troubling coming up with decent news...
I can guess the follow up of this story-" Crazy old man dies after days of starvation" or "Indian researcher deemed incompetent as yogi smuggles food under their noises"

Quote:
....if i had gone without food and water for more than a week...i would be telling someone about it. so why has it taken him 70 years?
and, as no one seems to have realised, he has had 70 years without food and water because he was blessed by a goddess or something when he was 8. so that means that, since he is 83, for 5 years after being blessed by this whoever....he still must have been stuffing his face and, and this is no disrespect to indians as i have a lot of friends from the sub continent, but why are all these amazing people from india? and poor? and through their antics...make the news....oh and money? i can't see a co incidence....can anyone else?

Quote:
Well best thing to do now is watch him for a week or two. Bet you within a day or so he asks for drink a water......does it also mean that he hasn't been for a 'pee or poo' for 70 years!!! I think he must be full of it by now...lol

I can believe it. Have you guys ever heard the devrah baba. He lived for more than 200 or about 500 years. Search him. Its a true story. Even the grand father of the first president of India met the devrah baba and devarah baba took samadhi(died) in like 1985. Its very interresting!
