Yogi lives 70 years without food or water



A Yogi in India claims to have spent the last 70 years surviving without food or water. The holy man, 83 year old Prahlad Jani is under 24 hour observation by 30 doctors and is undergoing a series of tests. He's been sealed in a hospital in Ahmedabad.

India's Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences spokesman said "The observation from this study may throw light on human survival without food and water". Jani says he meditates to get energy and since the experiment started on the 22nd April, he has not eaten or drunk anything and hasn't been to the toilet. Jani says the key to his survival is a mystical and unexplained process by which he receives drops of water through a hole in his pallet. Naturally, the doctors are keen to find out what energy supports his existence, and are hoping that body scans and a multitude of other tests will provide the answer. The experiment will take 15 to 20 days.

Interesting story but common sense tells me this cannot possibly be true and as much as I'd like to believe it, I think that someone is pulling our leg.
