Hello all,

Sensationalism at its most preposterous! Organic as the yogi is - his cell structure cannot self-replenish itself without the introduction of protein-based matter and hydration - The mind can suspend the effects of malnutrition/hydration for a much longer period than this, but what you will discover within 6 weeks or so is that you are force-feeding a terminally-ill indian fella with a detracted Christ-complex.

I urge that none of his fellow villagers are sucked in by this. I mean - look at what the original psychopath "Moses" has left us with.

Thank you and fare well

Yes. I imagine that the Yogi must have slipped in a few grains of rice or even a chapati when he thought no one was looking.

so this is what, a conspiracy that the team of military doctors and hospital are taking part in? i had already read about this, and this is the second test that has been done on this man-the first was for ten days, i dont recall if it was by a different hospital or whatever, or even in the same state.

i dont have any opinion on whether or not it is possible-but there are some things i have noticed when i hear stories like this (and there are others). such as the people who claim to do this and have not been proved phonies dont seem to be doing much of anything-they arent contributing in any way to the human race. they also dont seem to be accumulating a lot of wealth or taking donations. they arent highly publicized and dont create a big commotion (like some others do who develop a huge following for no particular reason).

A story has been posted in the Sydney Morning Herald about an Indian yogi who claims not to have taken food or water for 7 decades.

If you read the article, you find that he gargled and bathed. It would be easy to drink in those cases, so we have absolutely no reason to suppose he did not drink water, and have good reason to think he did. Given his watchers' carelessness about such an obvious matter, it would hardly be surprising if he was able to get some food past his watchers who were evidently too stupid to realize that someone can swallow a bit while gargling or bathing. But, of course, there is nothing miraculous about surviving two weeks without food in any case, so this is really nothing at all.

Basically, they would need to have him for more than double the time, and his watchers would need to be someone else who is not so moronic as his watchers were, and would also need to be of known integrity. Otherwise, it is a foolish thing that proves nothing at all.

Two weeks? I must have missed something, for that is something of a revision from the original claim of 70 years,

no-the two weeks was the period of observation during which time he was locked in his room and closed circuit television monitoring him etc...i think the bath situation would have had to be monitored, otherwise it would be a stupid claim. and if they insisted absolutely (i have read about three other articles on this man) that he never urinated or had a bowel movement, they must have been watching him really close. they did in fact say that his bladder appeared to full up and then become empty again without any urine leaving his body.

the really bizarre claim that no one seems to have investigated is that he said some kind of nectar comes from heaven and falls through a hole in his palate and that is what he lives on. that wasnt mentioned in this particular article though. and in fact it hasnt been mentioned by anyone but him...did the doctors not notice this happening or did they not think it mattered?

It is a stupid claim. You can read more about him by searching the internet with his name. Here is another piece on him:

Inedia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Basically, he has never been properly tested, and my guess is that he never will be. Many people like making crazy claims, and have no regard for honesty at all. And, of course, frauds who have brains do not ever allow themselves to be properly tested, as then they would be exposed as frauds. There are plenty of fools who can be deluded into believing that they have done a proper test when they really have done something slipshod, and there are plenty of other liars in the world who would be willing accomplices.

not to be a smartarse, but what is the percentage of fools and frauds among military doctors in india? understand i am not defending this person's claims, just trying to be objective and learn the truth.
