Shri Prahlad Jani, his ability to survive without food for more than 7 decades made a team of doctors of Sterling Hospital in Ahmedabad, Gujarat do a research on him. The doctors kept Prahlad Jani in a room for 2 weeks that had multiple CCTV cameras to observe him. He only took little water to gargle & have bath. The water that he used to gargle & have bath was measured to know if he consumed it. During their 2 weeks observation doctors found that he didn’t consume anything. His body was checked, pulse, heart-rate was measured & other tests were conducted. The doctors didn’t find any problem in him.

Shri Hira Ratan Manek doesn’t any consume solid food. He only takes tea, buttermilk occasionally & water. Just like trees & plants get energy from Sun for their survival similarly Shri Hira Ratan Manek practices Sun gazing to get energy. Sun is the main source of energy. After practicing Sun gazing for many months some enhancement in the pineal & pituitary gland happens. The functioning of these glands improves & body starts storing Sun’s energy when Sun gazing is done or when Sun’s light falls on us. Thus a person survives on Sun’s energy & doesn’t require food for energy.
