Prahlad Jani, 83, is a Holy Man Who Says He Has Lived Without Food or Water for 70 Years

Prahlad Jani, a yogi and holy man living in India is now being studied by doctors round the clock as he claims that he has lived without food or water for the past 70 years.

The way he lives is being looked at by military doctors who want Jani to help them survive better in the wild if he can in fact live without food or water. He is being observed in the city of Ahmedabad according to Sky News, and he is monitored all the time by cameras.

"The observation from this study may throw light on human survival without food and water," said Dr G. Ilavazahagan, who is directing the research.

The experiment began on April 22 in the hopes of helping people survive in conditions that are extremely stressful or are enclosed for long periods of time such as astronauts going to the moon.

Since April 22, doctors have not recorded Prahlad Jani eating, drinking, or going to the bathroom.

"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."

What is Prahlad Jani's secret? He says he was blessed by a goddess when he was eight and she gave him the ability to survive without anything.

Nikolas Tesla said that the planet earth flowed through an endless cosmic wind that, if harnessed, could provide a limitless supply of energy by analogy as a sailing ship appears to move about the ocean with no means of engine propulsion. Tesla may have been insufferably vain and a gnostic but many of his unestablished claims that were ridiculed at the time have come to be proven true. The HAARP facility is one example. While India is renowned for its excellence in hoaxes and illusions, maybe this guy...?

This is possible with yoga, science is unable to explain all about human body, Im sure you will find many more Yogi in india who medidate for number of years without food/water, if you read ancient indian history/ holybooks you may know this is possible.

yeah, he's not that cool, he still has to breath. I'd like to see him not do that for 70 years...

Humans usually need food and water, but also oxygen and exhaling of carbon dioxide. One thing that should be tested on this yogi is whether he is exhaling carbon dioxide. If he has not eaten and carbon based food in 70 years he must also not need oxygen or produce carbon dioxide, because if he does exhale carbon dioxide the carbon must come from food. Testing for carbon dioxide in his breath is a quick way to verify whether he has lived without food. Also test his exhaled breath for water vapor. If he has taken in no water, his breath should be dry. Pass this information on to the doctors examinimg him.

my sugession to doctors is that they should check MR.JANI'S internal recycling system of body organs function and dishcharging certain life supporting chemicals by his brain.
