Dear Friends Of Science,

Though many things are never understood by science and so many just do not
believe such things but those are true. Many when do not understand such a
subject, they do blame others to hide their own ignorance of the subject. as if
Naach na aavat to ANGAN teda, and there is no point to explain Bhagvat in front
of those BHE__.

There are many subjects contradicting with science as - I have seen many times -
Yogi gone underground for hours with out air /breath. and many days without
water and many months without food and with just a water.

Doctors and experts are baffled by an Indian hermit who claims not to have eaten
or drunk anything for several decades - but is still in perfect health.

Mr Prahlad Jani under surveillance in hospital

Prahlad Jani, a holy man, or fakir, who is over 70 years old, has just spent 10
days under constant observation in Sterling Hospital, in the western Indian city
of Ahmedabad. During that time, he did not consume anything and "neither did he
pass urine or stool", according to the hospital's deputy superintendent, Dr
Dinesh Desai. Yet he is in fine mental and physical fettle, say doctors.

Most people can live without food for several weeks, with the body drawing on
its fat and protein stores. But the average human can survive for only three to
four days without water. Followers of Indian holy men and ascetics have often
ascribed extraordinary powers to them, but such powers are seldom subject to
scientific inspection.

Mouthwash

"A series of tests conducted on him show his body mechanism is that of a normal
person," said Dr Desai. Mr Jani spends most of his time in a cave near the
Ambaji temple in Gujarat state.

He has never fallen ill and can continue to live like this

Bhiku Prajapati, Mr Jani's devotee

He spent his 10 days in hospital in a specially prepared room, with a sealed-off
toilet and constant video surveillance. To help the doctors verify his claims,
Mr Jani agreed to avoid bathing for his time in hospital. The only fluid he was
allowed was a small amount of water, to use as mouthwash. One hundred
millilitres of water were given to him, and then collected and measured in a
beaker when he spat it out, to make sure none had been drunk.

Thank goddess

A statement from Ahmedabad's Association of Physicians says that despite no
water entering his body, urine nonetheless appeared to form in his bladder -
only to be re-absorbed by the bladder walls.


Hungry for blessings: Mr Jani receives a devotee in hospital

At the end of his confinement, doctors noted no deterioration in his condition,
other than a slight drop in his weight. "I feel no need for food and water,"
says Mr Jani, who claims he was blessed by a goddess at the age of eight and has
lived in caves ever since. He grew up in Charod village in Mehsana district and
wears the dress of a devotee of the goddess Ambaji - a red sari-like garment,
nose ring, bangles and crimson flowers in the hair. He also wears the vermilion
"tika" mark on his forehead, more often seen on married Hindu women. His
followers call him "mataji" or goddess.

More tests

He says he has survived several decades without food or water because of a hole
in his palate. Drops of water filter through this hole, he says, sustaining him.
"He has never fallen ill and can continue to live like this," said Bhiku
Prajapati, one of Mr Jani's many followers.

"A hole in the palate is an abnormal phenomenon," says Dr Desai. His colleague,
Dr Urman Dhruv, told the BBC a full medical report is being prepared on Mr
Jani's 10 days under observation.

Doctors say they cannot verify his claim to have not eaten or drunk for decades
- but by observing his feat under laboratory conditions, they hope to learn more
about the human body. It is likely that doctors will want to examine Mr Jani
again in order to solve the medical mystery he has presented them with.
