Man who has not eaten for several decades - lives without food or water

Prahlad Jani grew in Charod village in Mehsana district in India. He claims to have been blessed by a goddess at the age of 8. He says he has survived several decades without food or water because of a hole in his palate. Drops of water filter through this hole, he says, sustaining him. He wears a red garment, nose ring, and gold bracelets. He also sports a ‘tikka’ on his forehead. His followers call him ‘mataji’or goddess.

Prahlad Jani, who has not eaten food or drunk water for 74 years of his 82-year-old life, will be kept under observation by the a wing of the defence ministry for 15 days. The members of Defence Institute of Physiology & Allied Science (DIPAS) want to understand if this process can be replicated in others’ bodies. The observation is being undertaken at the Sterling hospital.

Jani says he was blessed by the mother goddess when he was eight and began living in a cave in Gabbar hills at Ambaji, to be called 'Mataji'. He has willingly accepted to be a subject of this exhaustive project where he will undergo a battery of advance tests, including MRIs, scans and blood studies. Jani, dressed in a red sari, nose ring and sindoor, spends his time in hospital meditating, offering prayers, keeping silence and giving blessings.

Mention of such ‘miracle men/women’ are there in the "Autobiography Of A Yogi” by Sri Paramahansa Yogananda in which he describes about such persons who have not eaten for years together. It is all possible for persons who are blessed by God. In their case they get divine energy from subtle space in their spine. Read More................Man who lives on air undergoes defence tests

Sai Baba's 'Moon miracle' fails

Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh) : As per one India TV channel report, It was a hoax by god man Satya Sai Baba's followers as thousands of people gathered at the airport here Thursday night after word spread that controversial god man Satya Sai Baba would be 'sighted' on the moon - but returned disappointed when the 'miracle' did not happen.

The 81-year-old Sai Baba was also present at the airport and later returned to his 'Prshanti Nilayam' ashram here in Anantapur district, about 500 km from state capital Hyderabad.

It all started when an official of the Sai Trust announced that the god man would make a 'moon appearance' 6-7 p.m., and asked devotees to proceed towards the airport.
Thousands of the Baba's devotees from neighboring villages rushed to the airport but were disappointed as a cloud cover hid the moon. They waited for an hour before dispersing.

Police had a tough time in clearing the traffic on the airport road to enable the Baba to return to his abode amid tight security. There was no word from Sai Trust as to why the 'miracle' failed to materialize.

His devotees believed that the clouds played spoilsport while rationalists termed it an attempt by Sai Trust to revive the Baba's waning popularity.

Jesus Christ Portraits 'bleeds' - A miracle

Thousands of people are flocking to see the images of Jesus Christ in India which are said to be bleeding from its heart. Christians from nearby area are gathering in great numbers at the Bishop's House of Churches in Andaman in India. Eric Nathaniel, a Police Radio Operator, who purchased the portrait a few years back said that,''I bought the portrait of the 'sacred heart' at Car Nicobar during the Durga Pooja mela in 2003. It was just a year before the tsunami destroyed most of Car Nicobar Island, killing thousands of people and rendering the survivors homeless,'' Nathaniel added.
Nathaniel's family witnessed the incident for the first time on March 8 when he along with his family returned home after a routine shopping. The family was stunned to see the portrait bleeding. 

Blood seemed to flow from the heart of Jesus in the portrait, which stood on a small table in their house. The family, however, maintained a low profile about the incident and never disclosed the matter to anyone.

''I was afraid no one would believe it and we would be criticized for talking about something which is foolish in the eyes of the world,'' Nathaniel was quoted as saying.

''We lit candles and prayed and after some time the blood dried,'' he added.

''Again on March 10, at about the same time in the evening, my family noticed blood on the portrait. Blood also oozed from the hands and heart of another portrait of Jesus, which hung on the wall in an adjacent room. However, we decided not to tell anybody.

Later on March 13, the family again witnessed the same incident. This time the family again decided not to confine the news to themselves. ''This time it did not stop. The blood flowed continually until March 18,'' Nathaniel said.

Many people, including some journalists, also witnessed the incident.

''Call it a miracle or a mystery, it appeared to be true. There was something unusual as there was no chance that a laminated cardboard portrait could bleed,'' said Denis Giles, Editor of a local Andaman daily and Andaman Chronicle, who first reported the incident.

Finally, priests of Anglican Church of Northern India took the portrait to CNI church and the portrait was kept there for public viewing.

''The portrait bled even after it was taken to the Bishop's house,'' Denis said.
For some this is a miracle while for others this is a mystery, says Nathaniel.

Quranic verses on wood from willow tree

Quran is the holiest book of Muslims & its verses are equally holy.

A miracle occurred when woodcutters began felling a tree inside the compound of a Sufi shrine in Jammu and Kashmir state of India. They were surprised to find 'impressions of Quranic verses' on the wood. It was divine intervention against cutting of trees!

Or so many Kashmiris are beginning to believe after visiting Sufi saint Syed Shah Farid-ud-Din's shrine in Achu Gudool village in Kokernag, 72 km from here.

Hundreds of people are flocking to the south Kashmir site where the saint, originally from the Kishtwar sub-district of the Jammu region, is buried.

Besides the Quranic verses, the pieces of wood from the age-old willow tree felled were also said to carry impressions of a skull cap, a lamp and a prayer mat.

Last week the managing committee of the Sufi shrine decided to fell some willow trees inside the shrine compound. But when woodcutters felled the first willow, they were stunned by what appeared inside.

'As the woodcutter chopped the wood into four pieces he was stunned. On one piece of wood were written verses of the holy Quran. On the second piece there was the impression of a prayer mat used by devout Muslims to offer the namaz,' said Muhammad Amin, the contractor entrusted with the duty of felling the trees.

'The third piece bore the impressions of a skull cap worn at the time of the namaz and the fourth piece bore the impressions of an oil lamp which visitors light at the shrine.'

Immediately after the discovery of the miracle impressions, the shrine committee members stopped the tree felling work.

As penance for ordering the tree felling, they removed the pieces of the felled willow tree to a compound in the shrine. And visitors have been thronging to see the miracle impressions.

'Hundreds of believers are now visiting the shrine daily to see for themselves the miracle impressions. It is clearly a message for all of us. The saint does not approve of any tree felling,' said Ali Muhammad, 49, a resident of the village.

Kashmir has seen the indiscriminate felling of trees in the last two decades.
