Prahlad Jani: the Indian yogi who does not eat or drink, is it really possible?
The ascetic, who claims to have eaten anything in 74 years, has undergone research to prove it, but the results have been inconclusive.
Prahlad Jani Indian, also known as Mataji or "little mother" because in his youth he dressed as a woman to worship the goddess Amba, says he has spent the last 74 of his 85 years of life without eating or drinking anything absolutely.
I feel no need for food and water, "says the ascetic who lives in a cave in the state of Gujarat, revered as a true living god.
As he explains, at the age of seven, he left home in search of spiritual development and the eleven years he was blessed by the goddess Amba, which he claims gave him a livelihood nectar which was filtered through a hole in his palate , removing the need for urine and stool since.
"I have the elixir of life from the hole in the palate, which allows me to live without food or water," he says.
Furthermore, say his followers almost daily Yogi enters a state of Samadhi characterized by extreme bliss and has also spent long periods talking nonstop, where they claim would connect with the divine.
In 2003 Prahlad Jani participated in a scientific investigation to test their abilities to demonstrate amazing camera that I could live without food or water for over 15 days.
The research was led by Dr. Sudhir Shah, who was then the Ministry of Defence of India and President of the para-scientific and religious association of physicians, being of the same faith a yogi.
The results were not announced, but said they could effectively Prahlad Jani "live on air" and that there was a "fraud."
Both Jani's claims and the methodology of Dr. Shah has been criticized on numerous occasions, and the results of the study have not been reported in any scientific publication.
In 2008 research related doctors were repeated and was not allowed any independent specialist was present in the experiment, but Sanal Edamaruki, Indian Rationalist Association, has studied the research demonstrated several defects of work.
Among the criticisms raised Edamaruki notes that would have allowed concealed Jani feed, including blind spots in the chambers, the possibility of visits by his followers abandoner room for sunbathing, plus their bathing sessions and gargle mouthwash would not have been sufficiently monitored.
Last year was unveiled in the international press that a Swiss woman of 50 years, following the tenets of Prahlad Jani was found dead by conducting extreme practice.
El Diario El Mundo reported that similar cases were also reported in Germany, UK and France, which also produced similar deaths, the disturbing idea that you can live with just a little sun and air.
Recently, in November 2013 the actress Michelle Pfeiffer confessed to the press that with only 20, when he first arrived in Hollywood, belonged to a sect that practiced called Breatharianism that promotes it is possible to live without food or water and feed only with sunlight.
What do you think? Is it possible to feed air and sunlight?
