Prahlad Jani Proves He Can Survive Without Food or Water

Proves? It doesnt prove anything. It proves India wants to try and prove their ridiculous religion. Obviously this is false, its not possible, try doing it under american surveilance and cameras, all of a sudden he will need to drink and eat

has overtones of Al Harpin (The Man Who Never Slept) Google.

he also was kept under medical scrutiny (in the States) .. the observers invariably fell asleep - Al Herpin evidently didn't.   He never slept a wink in his long life.   He didn't own a bed.  He'd slow down at nights and whittle wood or read the papers .. he had subscriptions for 7 daily newspapers .. he complained he burned a lot of lamp oil!  Doctor's never figured it out - how it was possible.   And he the ONLY person to be a complete and total insomniac.   Mr. Herpin cliamed it may have been as a result of his mother having fallen down a flight of stairs while child-bearing.  Presumably this implies he never slept even as a newborn.  This all dates back to the 1930's.   Deserving of a revisit / review.

it is interesting that he went 14 days with the study and then went home. Why won't he agree to go longer than that (as in a previous study he did)?  Why does not the hospital allow outside verification?  Why to the people in his own town say he is a fraud?hmmm.

''He nourishes himself through a nectar that pours down his throat '' LMFAO!! How substandard  Its obviously a desperate attempt to try and prove thier ludicrous religion otherwise they would have kept him under survailance and medical tests of a foreign commitee , i bet he wouldnt have sustained 5 hours even if he was under the scrutiny of a non-indian committee And besides , if he really possesses such a prowess, he wouldnt have approved them to put him under scrutiny whatsoever to begin with .

omg!!!!!!!!!!!! that is cool!!!!!!!!!!!! its just like the white blue-eyed crocodile which can live for a year without food just by canceling a few heart beats.

Wow you people need to do your homework.  Simple blood tests can tell whether or not you've eaten for days, weeks, even months/years given the nutrients/minerals/oxygen in your blood and other factors.  THey don't really NEED to see him NOT EAT anything... it's all in the blood tests really.  Plus, who the hell wants to (even for science/PROOF for the skeptics, and who really cares what they believe, cause you know they never will no matter how many FACTS are released) stay in a hospital for longer than 15 days???  Not me, even if I was super-human man.

Also, the above poster's opinions regarding india's religions are just base and ridiculous.  A man purports he can subsist without sustenance/water and you say he's doing it because/to prove INDIA'S RELIGION... you people are quite obvious religious christian zealots, and also very angry and extremely illogical, especially since he claims YOGA (which really has nothing to do with spirituality in and of itself) and MEDITATION (also has nothing to do with god/religions) is what helped him to do it.  Also, yes, he did say that in his childhood a 'goddess' blessed him with (the current) supernatural abilities... maybe he's delusional?  OR... maybe, like your belief in the FAKE MAN IN THE SKY, he believes something to 'blindly'... and maybe... maybe... it's actually true.  Who are YOU to say it isn't?  Your religion is better than his?  You're the same kind of guys/people who say/think things like, Hey, My D*CK is bigger than yours... or substitute any word there, like my gun, etc etc...  GROW THE F UP!  There are people out there with differing beliefs, and doesn't mean yours is BETTER than theirs or theirs better than yours... LIGHTEN UP.
