Eighteen kilometers from the city in the Krasnodar Territory, Goryachy Klyuch, there is a small village in the foothills of the North Caucasus called Kutais. It was there that the local branch of the Armavir Russian Geographical Society (RGO) went to meet with a unique person, a phenomenon who does not drink or eat anything for a long time. Having abandoned civilization, she lives detached, almost like a hermit.
We have known Zinaida Grigorievna Baranova for a long time, but I could hardly believe that she had not eaten or drunk anything for more than seventeen years. You cannot tell by her appearance - she simply glows with health and shines with happiness. We all know well that a hungry person is often irritable, dry in communication and, in general, is ready to eat anyone who at least somehow touches him.
But it is the love and warmth radiated by Zinaida Grigorievna that surprise most of all. She always looks like she just had lunch. To learn more about her, I easily asked to visit her with an overnight stay.
- Zinaida Grigorievna, but after all, where did it all begin and how did it happen that you don't eat anything and you don't feel like eating?
- No, I eat, only this is another, alternative food. Every second, every moment I receive energy from God, I feed on cosmic energy that goes directly to the chakras - the energy centers of the body - directly from space. For me it is as natural as breathing - I do not concentrate on it and, practically, I do not notice it. For this to happen, it is necessary that first a "fire" occurs - the opening of the energy centers of the body, especially those directed towards the lungs. First you need to cleanse your body of all toxins and parasites. This is a very important point - all diseases are caused by this, but more importantly, a person needs to bring himself into harmony with the will of God - to trust Him and follow all His commandments. It is very important to establish balance within yourself, you need to feel the connection with all that exists,the connection of your microcosm with the macrocosm, treat all beings with love and compassion. It is very important, therefore, to start with a vegetarian diet. I still remember very well how my perception of the world changed when I stopped eating meat.
People, for the most part, do not know that there is a balance between the shed human blood and the blood of our smaller brothers. Buying meat in any form - sausage, etc. - a person pays for murder and becomes responsible for the evil that is happening in the world now.

- Yes, you inspire! How long are you going to live?
- I will live as much as I want! And to be honest, we will all live as long as we are allowed to. I have always wanted to study psychology, it is very necessary to help others - after all, we constantly communicate with each other! Now I am retired, more free, I often communicate with people, I am often invited to various meetings, conversations, lectures. And I began to understand myself better by studying psychology.
It all started with the fact that I was very sick, the tragic death of my eighteen-year-old son severely undermined my health, I had a disability group and no means helped. This was in 1980. Then healing began to develop, but I did not go to any healers, but just started looking at health-improving literature, including Gennady Petrovich Malakhov's book "Help Yourself", and based on the author's recommendations, I cleansed the body: intestines, liver, lymph nodes, joints, became a vegetarian. The most important thing is that I started reading spiritual literature. Then I worked a lot in the country, and mowed, and dug, and weeded, and built - all alone, without helpers. Once, when I was driving to the dacha, a man got on the bus with books and I bought Bhagavad-gita from him. This book made everything clear, I realizedhow God is present everywhere. He is in us, and we are in Him and He is around us. Thanks to the Bhagavad Gita, I realized the constant presence of God and His Divine energies, I began to trust the Supreme in everything, no matter what happens.
Every second I felt care, attentive control of God and the Higher Forces, a constant connection with the Higher Forces. When you follow the commandments of God, you begin to perceive the mental images of the highest teachers who lead you to Him. They told me that I could do this so that I would not be afraid of anything and boldly follow their recommendations. My body began to heal, I began to feel that changes were taking place in it. I constantly felt care from above and therefore boldly trusted what was leading me from within.
At first I switched to such food: nettles, dandelions, currant leaves, juices, and all this in very small quantities. I felt very well. When the restructuring of the energy centers took place, the understanding came from within that now I can try to live without food. I obeyed and stopped eating.
- And you didn't want to?
- Not. I felt good.
- And you were surprised?
- No, I was very happy. It was before Easter and I was glad to be cleansed, I thought: "Thank God, we are not eating."
- Then you still drank water?
- Yes, at that time I was still drinking, but 23 days later, on April 18, 2000, they made me understand that now I can do without water.
- Have medical examinations of the body been carried out?
- For many years I no longer go to doctors, but I was examined by the Voll method - acupuncture diagnostics, as well as by the Kirlian method. The general energy of the organism as a whole and of organs separately is higher than the standard indicators.
The film crew of the TV channel "Russia" in the center where I was examined with the acupuncture method, they said that so far Zinaida Grigorievna had not met anyone healthier - excellent health in almost all respects.
- How do you feel yourself?
- Wonderful!
- Why do you always smile?
- I feel good and I smile.
- You, I know, cook for your grandchildren and daughter, but you don't want to eat?
- No, not at all. I ask my daughter how it turned out.
- Have you been to India?
- Yes, in 2002 I went to the Gaura Purnima Festival, where I received initiation and a spiritual name - Jayantika Devi Dasi. Of course, the experience is unforgettable. I immediately felt that I was home - a state of comfort. Deep down, I know that in my previous incarnation, in my past life, I lived in India. During a trip to India, to Mayapur, for a spiritual festival, I experienced strong revelations, new realizations.
- What does your spiritual name - Jayantika mean?
- Glorifying God.
- Yes, indeed, everyone should be as active as you are at your age. By temperament, you are more like a girl. Zinaida Grigorievna, have your inner sensations changed, compared to what you were before, do you feel the world differently?
- Yes, I have become very sensitive to the world around me, to the energy of the Earth and all of humanity. I am very sensitive to the actions of a person and his inner state. I feel bursts of negative emotions and actions in the atmosphere. I really want to help people become better.
- What are you striving for? Do you have cherished dreams?
- I strive to achieve as much as possible. My task and goal is to live for the good of the world, to improve myself, and, having acquired the gifts of self-improvement, to receive the opportunity to give even more to people, the planet, the entire universe.
- What do you ask God for when you pray?
- I pray for the evolution of humanity, for people to realize spirituality as their component, to accept spiritual life with their hearts.
- Zinaida Grigorievna, are you going to start eating someday?
- You do not understand - I eat, only in a different way and I am sure that soon there will be more people like that on Earth. Food in the usual sense is just attachment, but there is something tastier, this is fellowship with God!
