Prahlad Jani, who recently turned 84, does not shy away from scientists. On the contrary, he willingly responds to their invitations. Tolerates tests, procedures, examinations. In 2003, he spent 10 days in the hospital. But without result for Indian and world science. Doctors never figured out the supernatural abilities of their patient. And they did not understand how he manages not to eat or drink
Yoga was examined using all the instruments in the arsenal, including tomographs. They studied metabolism, energy exchange, and did DNA analysis. But no visible deviations were found. According to the head of the program and director of the institute, Dr. G. Ilavazahagan, in terms of biological and physiological parameters, Prahlad is almost indistinguishable from an ordinary person. But he doesn't go to the toilet. Well, he doesn't drink, he doesn't eat.
“We need several months to study the materials,” says neurophysiologist Sudhir Shah, who researched yoga 7 years ago.
Mr. Shah admitted that the phenomenon has not become clearer yet. But there is hope to figure it out, since more advanced methods were applied. And the performance of all patient systems has been checked.
The neurophysiologist confirmed that for two weeks the subject did not eat or drink water. And only sometimes he performed ablutions.
“Prahlad's kidneys excrete a small amount of urine,” says Sudhir Shah. - But she doesn't stand out. As if it dissolves. And … no intoxication. This is another mystery.
Gift of the finger of the goddess Amba Mata
Western colleagues of the Indian military doctors, of course, doubt that the matter here is pure and the phenomenon really exists. But the Indians swear that there is no catch. Everyone who took part in the examination of Mr. Jani signed a protocol in which they recorded both the observed miracles and their bewilderment about this. They say, we do not understand how the elder manages to survive without food and drink. Moreover, do not go to the toilet. According to one hypothesis, Prahlad somehow captures and utilizes solar energy.
Mr. Jani himself reports the following about his abilities. Say, at the age of 8, he met a goddess named Amba Mata. She touched his tongue with a finger and said that now the boy would no longer have to think about food and water.
Since then, Prahlad knows no worries, lives in purity and prayers in a cave in the Gabbar Mountains in Ambaji in the north of Gujarat. He has not spoken to anyone for 45 years.

Mr. Jani believes that the goddess made a hole in his mouth - in the sky - through which the nutrient, amrita, flows. This is the food of the gods and the elixir of immortality at the same time. Like ragweed. Yogis, by the way, believe that amrita is produced by the endocrine glands of the body itself in response to yoga postures and meditation.
Prahlad's doctors did not find any holes or traces of amrita.
These are not magic tricks
Anne McMahon, a nutritionist at the University of Wollongong in Australia, thinks Prahlad only shows the wonders of meditation. And thanks to her, it can withstand 10 days, then 14 without food and drink, while an ordinary person can hardly last 4 days. And as for the 76-year fast, these are fairy tales. And from a two-week demonstration, one cannot conclude that the yogi has not really eaten or drunk for decades.
“When a person starts to refuse food and water, his metabolism changes,” objected Sudhir Shah, “and this can be seen from the analyzes. Prahlada Jani doesn't change anything. The indicators are as if he just continues to do what he always did. That is, do not drink, do not eat.
Sudhir Shah seriously believes that Prahlad is using some other source of energy. And it does not extract it by breaking down fats, proteins and carbohydrates, like we all do. The scientist sincerely believes that someday he will find this mysterious source.
And many other Indian doctors have no doubt: the phenomenal grandfather does not cheat. And it must be investigated. What to find “alternative pathways of metabolism in the body that will help military personnel and astronauts to survive in adverse or extreme conditions Dr. Ilaavezhagen believes that Prahlada Jani's abilities will be useful to future travelers to Mars and the Moon. And here he is certainly right: astronauts should learn at least something from their grandfather. If he doesn't fool everyone in some cunning way.
The yogi himself says that he is not going to prove anything to anyone. Like, believe it or not. And if you believe, then please, here I am - explore.
