Can one live without water and food?
A shocking proof for skeptics: a yogi hasn’t eaten or drunk anything for 70 years
An 83-year-old yogi in India reportedly spent more than 70 years without drinking water or eating.
He says that a goddess blessed him when he was eight years old and since then he has been living without food.
Yogi Prahlad Jani , originally from Gujarat, has been admitted to a hospital in Ahmedabad for a series of medical tests and observation.
Two video cameras were installed in his hospital room, which worked 24 hours a day.
In addition, a mobile room followed him when he came out of the ward, explained neurologist Sudhir Shah, who was part of the team.
The ascetic was scanned by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
His brain and heart activity were measured with electrodes and he also underwent blood tests.
The tests lasted between 15 and 20 days. While he was in the hospital, the ascetic did not drink a drop of water, did not eat and did not go to the toilet.
Prahlad was supervised with both human guard and cameras.

The institute where the yogi was interned is part of the research and development organization of the Indian Ministry of Defense.
This institute manufactured, in 2009, grenades filled with chili peppers, used to remove demonstrators.”
These observations will shed some light on human survival in conditions of lack of water and food,” said Dr. G. Ilavazahagan, director of the National Institute of Defense, physiology section.
The specialist said that medical tests could help develop survival strategies in the event of:
- of natural disasters
- extreme stress conditions
- space missions to the Moon or Mars
“At the scan we should understand what is the energy that allows it to live,” said the quoted doctor.
He said that the soldiers could benefit from the results of the analysis of the ascetic’s ability to survive.
“Jani says she’s meditating to have energy.
The yogi states that he receives a subtle invisible food that appears inside his body in the area above the palatine veil – “in the roof of his mouth”.
It is the so-called secret energetic center (which everyone has) which is called the Soma Chakra or subtle “moon”;
On a physical level, there is even a fluid secretion that usually reaches the stomach.
We can prevent this fluid called soma or divine nectar from reaching the stomach.
We aim for the divine nectar to be taken over in some way (for example, at the level of the tongue).
In this way, it produces certain unusual effects: deep meditation, regeneration, rejuvenation.
It is not matter that keeps us alive, but the energy that we access through the resonance that is produced in our being due to the fact that we eat.
If we can access this energy in another way, food or water is no longer needed.

To get such a way of feeding
a conscious training and a choice that is not common to ordinary beings is necessary.
This is not the only amazing case that is found even by science in which a man can live without water and food. Among the best known is the German nun Therese Neumann.
Apart from the fact that she did not eat, she regularly lost up to two liters of blood, when the Christ stigmata manifested themselves on her body. However, the nun had no health problems.
There are more and more cases in which certain people no longer need physical food (they are called autotrophs).
An interesting case is that of the elderly woman in India met by the master Paramahamsa Yogananda, who no longer needed to eat to live.
She recounted, however, that the master who initiated her in the secret process forced her not to disclose it.
This is because
the Creator wants most beings on Earth to need food, so that…
the process of procuring it to subject them to many tests and help them transform and evolve spiritually.
This is the authentic perspective of the lived life of a spiritual path of the one who understands that living is important, but decisive is how you live.
