This mantra is a Devi mantra if you chant the mantra for 100,000 times the letters in that mantra you will not feel thirst or hunger.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Very interesting! There is a story in Paramahamsa Yogananda's Autobiography of a Yogi of a woman (referred to as a "saint" by Yogananda) who also does not need food or water. Her circumstance came about from a problem with her mother in law, and it seemed brought on by emotional and psychological factors, as well as her will. It will be fascinating to see what all the doctors come up with. , "Devi Bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > From the Kerala News website, comes this amazing story of an elderly > gentleman who claims Devi granted him the ability to live without > food or water.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2003 Report Share Posted December 8, 2003 Quite honestly this is no big deal(though dont ask me to do it:-)). There is a world wide movement called Breatharianism who believe that it is not necessary to eat or drink- they have chapters in every major town . Since then I have also come to know of lots of people who fast for 40/80 days or more with little body weight loss, if you can live for 80 days without food and water, you can live without it the whole of your life. -yogaman , "Mary Ann" <maryann@m...> wrote: > Very interesting!
