Indian man 'survives without food or water for decades'

[jbond197]

Why should I be outraged just because a person of another religion verbally questions certain practices in mine - practices which may not make sense?

Heck, IMO Hinduism is vast enough that criticism is accepted and tolerated.

If I should feel insulted, it is either that (a) my religion is too weak (b) or my understanding of it is too weak.

It's just like I would expect Muslims to accept it, if I critique Islam.

Not everything is an insult to your religion guys.

I think no body is taking it as an insult. I know its unthinkable to believe that a person can live with out water and food for that long but there can always be a possibility. Do you think all the doctors who is observing him since 2003 would not have conducted some kind of tests on him? How can a person fool everybody for as long as seven years?

If this is true, there will be no hunger in India! Any sane guy can tell that the news is a creation from Indian Media and only Indian believe such things.

However, unless it is proven and stated in science journel, it is still a BS.

So far he is proving right

yes,interesting u raised the issue here.There are numerous instances in Hindu Puranas,holy Scriptures where Sadhu ,Sanayais or Rishis who used to go in deep meditation invoking gods name for hundreds years long ,in some cases standing in one leg that their body become part of nature ,tree starts to grow over their body.

And in the end ,god himself has to appear before them due to the meditative power and give his blessings.

A team of doctors in western India is carrying out a study on a hermit who claims to have survived without food and water for 70 years.

The holy man claims that he derives energy through meditation.

Sanjoy Majumder reports from Delhi.

There are similar stories. I don't think they will learn anything useful from him though. Scientists have tried it before. Science demands proof that can be established.

Some holy men are said to be older than 100 years. Some walk/sleep/sit on beds of nails. Some even sit on live fire.

It's all about "mind over matter" ...by conquering yourself (through self discipline such as meditation) you can conquer matter.
