Yogi observed consuming nothing for 2 weeks

The Indian man who claims to have ingested nothing for 70 years has been observed for two weeks by doctors.
During his stint at an Indian hospital military doctors studied him for two weeks over which he allegedly ate or drank nothing whatsoever, nor did he go to the toilet. A neurologist involved in the study exclaimed - "it is still a mystery what kind of phenomenon this is."
An 83-year-old Indian holy man who says he has spent seven decades without food or water has astounded a team of military doctors who studied him during a two-week observation period. Prahlad Jani spent a fortnight in a hospital in the western India state of Gujarat under constant surveillance from a team of 30 medics equipped with cameras and closed circuit television.

This man is also featured in the "buddha boy" documentary from years ago, you can find it on youtube. And in that video/documentary he was being observed aswell. And they said they measured the water he used for a bath before and after to make sure he didn't drink any. But that was years ago, this is another observation they're doing on him, but im presuming they would of done the samething. They are not going to be that dumb, and make and error like that where they don't measure the water, that is common sense, unless they are trying to scam us. However i'm not sure if this guy is for real or... [More]

When did humans not need food? Nibs In satyug, the golden age. Humans are alot older than most of us think. I don't beleive in evolution anymore, but i don't beleive in the creation story and that the earth is only 6000 years either. I think that humans have been around the earth for much much longer.

The world of the Jinn (Spirit world) is one which is both sinister and intriguing. By knowing of this world we can explain many of the mysteries that occur on earth. By doing this we can avoid the extremes which the people have gone to; (nothing being more extreme then worshipping the creation of Allah (God)). "He says that he was blessed by a goddess at a young age, which gave him special powers." They should have kept him longer and also bought an Islamic scholar to sit with him and recite the Qur'an on him, if he's been without food and water for 70 years, a few more days under observation ...

I would like it if this were true it would be amazing....But unless they actually get the tests holes filled up(like that he was allowed to shower I mean really) not going to hold my breath though

If he doesn't eat, drink, urinate or defecate, why does he need to shower! What kind of a question is that? Maybe, just maybe he doesn't want to stink? Same goes with the brushing teeth question. Seriously, taking a shower and brushing your teeth has nothing to do with "not eating or drinking", what is wrong with you? It's a little thing called "hygiëne".

I was just stopped at a shopping center by a Yogi. Who started rambling off all this stuff about what is happening to me in the next two years. He mentioned the rip i was about to go on, the second trip i am going on in October. He wrote on little squares of paper and then placed them in my hand. He would talk for another 5 minutes or so then ask me what me fav number and fowr was. I thought well my mum always liked Carnations and i was born on the 9th so i said them. I opened the paper and the number 9 and the word carnantion was on the paper. Then he wrote on another bit of paper and placed ... [More]

Thanks for sharing that story. I think there is no should or shouldn't, simply free will. There is a saying I read in CWG book 4: "Every decision you make—every decision—is not a decision about what to do. It’s a decision about Who You Are." So, as long as you're happy with yourself not giving freely (whether it be money, love, or anything) then don't. But then, don't be surprised if you see the same reflected in the world. But as long as you're happy with the world being as it is... don't change anything in yourself. As for the original topic... Same goes for sleeping. I know it's not c... [More]

And for those who are seriously interested in breatharianism and would like to delve more deeply in the topic, this page: http://llresearch.org/trans/issues/1987/1987_1129.aspx will help a lot. It is for spiritual seekers, not people who consider the seeking of these experiences as pastime or entertainment. Enjoy.
