Prahlad Jani, the sadhu who has lived without food or water for 72 years

New Delhi, Feb 17: Indian sadhu  Prahlad Jani claims to have lived without food or water since 1940. He was born in  Chunriwala Mataji and grew up in Charada village in Mehsana district of Rajasthan.



Since the 1970s, Jani has lived as a hermit in a cave in the rainforest near the Gujarati temple of Ambaji, awakening at 4am each day and spending most of his time meditating.




Two observation studies on Jani have been conducted. One was in 2003 and another one in 2010. In both cases the investigators confirmed Jani's ability to survive healthily without food and water during the testing periods, although neither study was submitted to a scientific journal.
