>It's no fast-unto-death, it's no hunger strike. But a septuagenarian sadhu's app
>arently simple decision to switch off food since the age of ten after being "ble
>ssed by the Goddess" that has left scientists perplexed.
>
>Prahllad Jani, the 76-year-old 'sadhu' from the pilgrim town of Ambaji in north 
>Gujarat, has scientifically proved that he neither ate nor drank anything for th
>e past 66 years.
>
>Jani claims that he has managed to fight hunger and thirst after he was blessed 
>by "Mataji" (Ambaji deity) at the age of 10 years.
>
>The medical fraternity did not believe it prima facie, but after a close 10-day 
>observation, including sonography twice a day, at the Neuro ICCU of Sterling Hos
>pital, medicos had to admit that Jani has the ability to survive without food an

>Hospital authorities confirmed that Jani not only refrained intake through mouth

>"No doubt, his bladder produced 400 ml urine during the day, but the next day it

>"Mataji blessed me at the age of 10 with energy in the form of 'Amrut' from my u

>"I will continue to live like this till she commands," he added.

>"Though no normal person can continue without passing stool or urine for more th

>The panel formed by APA, which took it upon itself to verify the authenticity of

>The Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences (DIPAS), New Delhi would

>Jani has now been discharged from the hospital but doctors intend to keep a trac
