EPTThat said, it won't last forever and he's going to have to eat some time. I'd be really impressed if they dumped him in Russia or somewhere cold and he was still able to go 10 days without food. Also the 70 years is definitely bullshit.

It's possible that this guy has been able to use meditation slow his movement and heart rate down to an extent where he can live off very, very little energy. The warm conditions of India mean he probably wouldn't need to use much energy for heat and there's enough moisture in the air that he's getting enough water just through breathing in and swallowing moisture from the atmosphere, remember without physical exertion the need to sweat is significantly reduced, as the body has no need to cool down - the friction of moving around and using muscles is what causes body heat to build up and sweat is how we cool down.

Either he has reached such a high level of spiritual advancement that he is nearly divine, or he is a scam artist with pretty big balls. That made me laugh really hard and its true. lmfao the comment and response above me also, this indian guy's breath must STINK. no mints, no gum, no food to wash away morning breath. i wonder if he brushes his teeth cause i swallow a little bit every now and again... ... If you dont eat you wont have to diggest things while you're sleeping right... so no morning breath or anything of the sort am I right ? | ||

The odds of this being real is very low, that is for sure. Most people need water and food to survive. But could it happen? Yes it is possible that this person transcended into some high level spiritual human that does not need to meet any of his biological needs. Meditation does some crazy shit and perhaps this is the case. I don't think this is a case of whether you believe this is real or not. Its about witness something really exordinary. Imagine all the money he saved on food. He probably doesnt even need to save money either. | ||

Are the nonbelievers going to believe all of the a sudden? Probably not. I'd believe it if he managed 30 days. That's way longer than what should be possible. | ||

The lowest recorded resting heart rate from an healthy individual is 28 from a cyclist. I'm pretty sure you can't get under 20 without serious problems. | ||

Was done multiple times? Also most people are "pretty sure" you can't live without food or water for 2 weeks. Your example is a cyclist. His heart muscle and arteries adapted to exercise, changed size and shape and his resting rate dropped to 28. Here you have a human being that doesn't work out or move around at all. It's a completely different mechanism. When you don't eat for weeks your heart rate drops because of your metabolism slowing down. Also, meditation allows some practitioners to control their own heart rate. Not like this was discovered 2 weeks ago. | ||

If you believe in spirits, fine, some sort of angel or demon did this to him. If you believe there is only the physical world, fine, it's a hoax. But you shouldn't be able to believe both. how about i believe there is only a physical world and i also believe that humans don't know nearly as much about it as they like to pretend. | ||

I dunno, it's a commercial featuring a man who says our hair is made out of metal. Crazy beliefs usually follow indoctrination into personality cults, or at least some form of social group, but not after viewing commercials. Unless he made a really, really convincing argument for metal hair, of course. | ||
