Prahalad Jani is a resident of Ahmedabad, the capital city of the state of Gujerat in India.He is 82 years old and is in sound health. He has not eaten a single morsel of food nor drunk anything including water since the last 65 to 70 years.He was born in the district of Sabarkantha in Gujerat and he left his house and home when he was only 7 years old. He wandered about and visited several holy pilgrimage centers in India.He has no recollection about his family and nobody knows anything about their whereabouts. Somewhere down the line he must have met his Guru who initiated him into the spiritual practice and meditation on the Divine Mother. His spiritual practices bore fruit and he completely stopped taking food and liquids. Due to this he does not even execrete or urinate. He says he gets his energy and strength from a nectar-like liquid which trickles from his palate.Great Yogis of India have attested to this fact saying that it is possible to survive without food or drink by living solely on this internal liquid which percolates down from the brain. Mr Jani is at the moment being kept in a special room in a hospital in Ahmedabad and is being monitoted round the clock by a team of doctors personally and through CCTV cameras. The bathroom and toilet have been kept locked at his request and nobody is allowed to visit him. Tests are being undertaken on him and doctors are trying to understand how he manages to survive and what is the source of his energy.He spends his time in meditation and prayer.People may say that he has missed out on the wonderful food which is available on Earth, but to him it is a mere trifle.

On a skeptical note, he sounds like a perpetual motion machine.

It will be great If our medicine can extract something important from this guy organism. Imagine If there is way people stop eating... This can save a lot of resources and could be massive change of our planet. Change for good, I think.

hello dear bhai, This is really amazing. I couldn't just imagine how did he ever survive for 65 years without anything to intake. This is another kind of mystery for life and science. I wish to know the result with the observation and lab test of this mystery. Hope you can give us more details regarding this matter.

[b]Even I saw this fellow in television.. he was sitting in a cot and the room was fully equipped with the spy camera... by watching him how he was able to live without eating food... If a human can live without eating food, in the medical world it will one of the biggest record...[/b]

I think i've seen this already on discovery channel. He just sits in a meditation stance and just meditates there. I don't know what he does to himself how he does it but it's something he had proven to us.

cool now i have another idea how to concentrate. concentration is needed to accomplish something as tough as living without food! if only people can hear about him then his example would be of great significance.

I would honestly like to know how this man survived and would love to know what the doctor's conclusion is.

That is amazing- does he sungaze? I read about similar effects coming from sungazing. If he's in hospital for all this time then it must be because of his spiritual practice. Mind you we don't know what he's doing in the bathroom though!

I would wonder also how this man can go so long without nurishment. How can he stay alive for so long even if he is in a meditative state or other influence. It seems far beyond anything I understand as he is human after all. But perhaps he is far beyond anything I have read about in the past. Very interesting!

Wow, to say that is amazing is an understatement! If this story is legitimate it is interesting to say the least. I have read somewhere that we all eat way more than what we need and this man is sure proving that to be a fact! I guess if this is true it goes to prove that man can indeed evolve into a very high spiritual state making the material world including food quite irrelevant. I will learn more about this, thanks for sharing the story…Amazing…. I found this link about him: (NOT A REFERRAL) http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/04/29/2010-04-29_indian_military_analyzes_holy_man_who_drinks_no_water_consumes_no_food.html

This is indeed an amazing story. I haven't heard or known a person who has lived that long without food, most of all water. Studies say that a person could live without food for 40 days but only a few days without water. And here was a amn who has lived that long. This is indeed amazing but being that he is a great yogist, perhaps that answers it. This is a very interesting discussion and thanks for sharing it with us. I wouldn't have known this incredible story. Hope you will share us more. It is indeed refreshing to the mind. Thanks.

Wow this is amazing! Well if that is true then that is good but I believe that not all people can do that and can survive like that. But this is really great though hard to believe.

hi veejay19. Great story by the way. I think I heard this one too several years ago from NatGeo. I guess it's really true that mind can control whatever the body desires, but I love food!! What can I say. Anyways any possible chance of link or photos that you can post? Coz' I wanna see what does he look like?

Prahalad Jani sounds like an amazing man. I have heard of men living like this before but this is the first time I have heard of a currently living example. The aim in most spiritual practices - particularly my practice (Zen) - is detachment, so I can understand why he would feel totally indifferent to the woderful foods that are available on earth. He is a man now who can follow the precept of "not killing" because he doesn't even have to kill a plant in order to survive. A very pure soul indeed.. _Derek

Oh my God!this is pretty shocking at the same time amazing!really??ohhh his survival with no food and water is really a mystery and thought-provoking. I mean I myself would not even survived if cannot eat one meal in a day much more 65 years!Oh Jesus this is so terrible. I am wondering why on earth he lived for so long when he had not eating or drinking anything. His case should be studied and be published!
