Oh. In that case, I apologize. I have a real problem with idiots who prefer astrology or paranormal bullshit to science. Which is the case in this story. More skepticism and demanding of facts, less implicit acceptance of bullshit.

Maybe his cave is located next to a lake that produces alot of mist every morning, and he would sit with his mouth open for a couple of hours every morning?

Quoting for posterity's sake in case Pure does 3-0 Flash. It's funny though, all these people who supposedly survive for a long time with food don't let anyone get near them, just watch (understandable from a meditative pov), but also randomly dissapear for periods of time. To do what I wonder.

Even buddha said u need some sustenance to stay alive, and I am pretty sure he knew all about what could be done with meditation. Processes can be slowed but they can't be stopped. And even if one could get energy from the mind, you still need water, protein, vitamins, etc for chemical processes.

Who knows though, 70 years may be possible.

Also I love the 1st reply in this thread lol

I have been doing and studying yoga for several years now, and phenomena like this are apparently not too uncommon. While 70 years seem a bit extreme, I would adivse you to google "Kundalini" and to research the bio of people like Gopi Krishna or Glenn J. Morris.

70 years isn't possible.

This is beyond retarded, unless you considering meditation to be eating delicious snacks there is no way you could live for 70 years. You would fucking die within 3 weeks without eating anything assuming the water you drink isn't filled with vitamins and sugar, in which case youd probably life longer, but either way this shit is beyond retarded. I'm sure you can slow your metabolism down by meditating (your sitting there doing nothing), but this is a load of shit.

take it easy, when you really think about things nothing really makes any sense, you should not only believe in science and have a narrow mind imo

Not only you, but alot of the idiots in this thread need to watch this video.

Please don't start citing that fucking critical thinking thread. No one is gonna learn critical thinking from those videos. They unnecessarily invoke controversial subject matter that defeats their ostensible goal. It's reasonably hard for even critical thinkers to be non-critical about those critical thinking videos

I don't see why there's much debate over this... It's not possible. End of story.

This is India's publicity stunt to portray this man's claim in a religious sense. Which makes sense, since India is undoubtedly a very religious country, especially the state of Gujarat (which all of this takes place in). He made a claim about meditation, and now, since it became public, India (the hospital), needs to help represent him. I think this is all a publicity stunt; a fallacy in the making (or actually, it's already been made).
