Prahlad Jani – Man who has not eaten for 70 years!

Prahlad Jani is a 82-year-old yogi who claimed that he has not eaten or taken water for 70 years! This fascinating man is right now being observed and studied by Indian scientists and medical experts. Latest reports indicates that his body and brain is biologically at that of a 25 year old man!

Prahlad Jani claims that he is living as a monk since he was 7 year old and he was blessed by a Goddess. The boon supposedly allow his to receives nectar in his throat and he therefore does not depend on food and water. Sounds a bit like in the movies right?
In 2003, Prahlad Jani agreed to help Indian scientists who wanted to study his body. He was kept for 10 days under surveillance in a hospital in Ahmedabad. No food or water was given to him for consumption. He was given a measured amount of water only to wash his mouth and the water was later analyse to confirm that he did not swallow any of it. The doctors however noticed that urine formed in his bladder but weirdly the urine disappeared after some time.
April 2010 – Prahlad Jani is back at the same hospital to be further examined by a panel of 35 indian scientists from India’s Defense Research & Development Organization. The experiment started on the 28 of April 2010 and video cameras monitor the yogi 24/24.
The scientists also aim to study his blood samples during the test and also brain scans to see if there are any unexplained resonance.
Prahlad Jani brain is currently working like that of a 25 year old man due to his yoga practice. Dr. Sudhir Shah, a neurophysician involved in the study, called this a miracle in the science.

A person can live without food and water for three, four, seven, to 12 days; and we have studied during fasting in the past that people have done fasting for 16 or 30 days, but they were taking water after eight days and certainly they pass urine—but this case is a unique phenomenon, said the doctor.

If those scientist manage to get to the source of this yogi’s secret and if what he claimed is true, then this study can help in many areas of the world. Example, where people are left without food or water during a disaster or even by soldier lost on the battle ground.
We shall know more soon.
