75 years without food or water

An 82-year-old Indian Sadhu (wandering monk, or holy man) Prahlad Jani has claimed that he has been living for 70 years without food or water.

Jani states that he is living as a monk since he was seven and was blessed by a Goddess when he was 11; since that blessing he gained his sustenance from nectar that filters down through a hole in his palate, and has not passed urine or stools since then.

In 2003, Jani was kept under surveillance for 10 days in Ahmedabad's Sterling Hospital. He was given no food and only a small amount of water to wash his mouth and the water was later measured to confirm that he did not swallow any of it. He survived the ordeal, but lost a bit of weight, which cast doubts that he could survived without food over a much longer period.

His story caught the attention of India's Defence Research Development Organisation, which hopes further research could help soldiers survive longer without food, or disaster victims to hang on until help arrives. Jani has again entered the hospital since April 22, 2010, where he is closely monitored for 15-20 days. We'll see what happens in a week or less. Updates then.

Maybe the hole's in his head.

nectar that filters down through a hole in his palate

In India they call it nectar. Here we use tissue to get rid of it  :winkgrin:

Anyways that man will die without having lived.
What's life without waking up upside down on a park bench with yesterdays dinner on your shirt  :laughing7:

I saw this too whitewings. Amazing.

But also a warning that this might be the type of thing that Christ warned about.

The false Christ miracle workers, looking to deceive many.

[Beloved Servant]

THE Spirit gives life, not food or water.
Man is deceived to the uttermost.
Vanity — all is vanity.

Yes true, but remember Jesus Christ, fasted in the desert and hungered. Is this man more spiritual than Jesus?

I suppose Jesus Christ did accomplish many things, but not all things, so I don't think a devil, whos nature is to destroy can give life to a man, so this man must have been able to feed spiritually as you say, but unfortunately gives praise to a devil and that is the deception, I think, of miracle workers, who give credit to the wrong things and not to Christ.

Poor judgment; a result of not eating before the end of the sixth-week.  :mblush:
