An
Email List Group
for Sungazers
As
a result
of discussions
with Hira Manek and other sungazers, I decided in October 2003 to start
an email list group devoted to sungazing at Yahoo Groups. Due to the
drastic downscaling of Yahoo Groups in October, 2019, the group is now
hosted at groups.io. The list
name
is Sungazing, and the home page for the Sungazing list
group is https://groups.io/g/sungazing-vp.

Well, I know that this is a sungazing website, but
I found the recently-reported
case of Prahallad Jani (aka Prahlad Jani or Prahalad Jani), a mystical
devotee in India who claims never to
drink water nor eat food, to be interesting enough that when I was
offered
the letter below, I decided to post it on this website, even though
Prahallad
Jani is not a sungazer.
A
Letter from a Supervising
Medical Doctor about the Fasting Claims of Prahallad Jani
Via a number of news reports during November 2003, many of us have
heard
by now of the 76 year-old ascetic in India who is a member of a small
goddess-worshipping
sect who lives in caves in Ambajee near Gabbar, India, who is a devotee
of the goddess Mataji, and who claims not only not to eat at all, but
also not to drink any water, nor to ever urinate nor
defecate. He
claims that he receives nourishment only via drops of amber nectar
which
drip from a small hole in the roof of his mouth; this nectar is
mentioned
in many Yogic and Qi Gong traditions under many names.
Prahallad
Jani claims that they was visited by, and blessed by, the goddess
Mataji
(whom his sect worships) at age eight, and that this produced his
abilities.
In late November 2003, a medical doctor in India who was involved in
the
supervised observation of Prahallad Jani emailed a rather detailed
report
on the recent medically-supervised observation of Mr. Jani to Hira
Manek.
Hira Manek and the author have given permission for me to post this
letter
to the website. I have taken the liberty of converting all colored
fonts
(blue, red, etc.) in the document to black so that the message may be
readable
on all email clients....
Please note that the neurologist
Dr. Sudhir Shah
who is mentioned in
the article, along with some other doctors mentioned in the same
article,
have also participated in past studies of Hira Manek, some for hundreds
of days in duration. I have posted a medical journal article
by Dr.
Shah on studies of Hira Manek to a page on this site, at:

Association of Physicians of Ahmedabad was invited to supervise the
protocol of genuinity of a claim made by Mr. Prahallad Jani that he is
not passing urine for a prolonged period and not taking anything orally
including food or liquid for the same period.
Mr Jani is a male aged 76 years claiming to reside in caves of Ambajee
near Gabbar for many years. According to him,he was blessed by Matajee
at the age of 8 yrs and since then his demands for food and water
disappeared
and he did not require passing urine or micturating.
Association of Physicians of Ahmedabad is a nonbiased body made up
of 20 committee members and 400 + members, all being the most reputed
physicians
or super specialists of the city. We decided to make a panel of doctors
which included eminent Senior Physicians,Cardiologists, Neurologists,
Neurosurgeon,
Gastroenterologist, Surgical Gastroenterologist, Endocrinologist,
Diabetologist,
Nephrologists, Urosurgeon, ENT surgeon, Psychiatrist, Ophthalmologist,
Genetic counselor, Radiologists, Sonologists and many more. Secretary
of
association DR URMAN DHRUV took over the charge and the panel was
headed
by DR SUDHIR SHAH the eminent Neurologist of the city. Sterling
Hospital
agreed to bear the cost and sponsor the whole project and DR V N SHAH
the
eminent Diabetologist represented the hospital..Most of the committee
members
of our association were also kind enough to examine Mr. Jani and
opine.
Mr jani underwent an affidavit as suggested by the ethical committee
of the hospital. He was explained all the facts of his condition and
the
critical points when the committee of doctors will advice him to stop
the
attempt or the committee will withdraw its association with him. Mr.
jani
was kept in Neuro ICCU for first 24 hours and then as per the protocol
decided by the committee, he was shifted to a specially prepared room
no
604 where the toilet was sealed off. Arrangement for 24 hour video
camera
shooting was made in the room. Round the clock security was arranged
outside
the room which was having a fully glass panel door. A hospital staff
was
appointed on rotational basis to stay inside the room throughout 24
hours.
Mr. jani agreed to avoid bath for first 7 days and 100 ml water was
given
to him daily under supervision for mouth wash and was collected back
after
measurement. He underwent all possible investigations at the base line
which all were normal. During the project, he underwent regular blood
investigations
daily or on alternate days as suggested by the team of doctors. We took
serial ultrasonography of urinary bladder as many as two times a day
and
MRI of brain and gut.He was allowed free movement in the room and was
offered
the prayers as per his requirement.
The attempt started on 12th of November and the committee went on
reviewing
the reports daily to decide the further steps. Initially the attempt
was
to continue for 7 days but his health and investigations have allowed
us
to continue his attempt at the day 10 also. The committee is keeping a
close watch on his all parameters. After day 10, the committee is
satisfied
with following matter
1 The protocol was strictly adhered to
2 Mr Jani has not passed or dribbled urine during these 10
days.
3 He has not taken anything by mouth or by any other routes not even
water for 10 days.
4 All his parameters are till date within physiological
range.
5 He has shown evidence of formation of urine, which seems to be
reabsorbed
from his bladder wall.However at present the committee does not have
any
scientific explanation for the same but the help of senior scientists
and
medical personnel of the country is being taken for the same.
Actually,the laboratory of DIPAS [Defence Institute Of Physiology And
Allied Sciences ] is involved from day 1 in this project. Professor Dr.
Selwamurthy is guiding the project and the committee is in daily touch
with this top scientist of the country.He has agreed to do further
research
and is likely to visit at appropriate time.
We are thankful to the whole team of doctors, sterling hospital esp.
DR GADHAVI THE SUPERINTENDENT of the hospital and the person Mr.
jani.
THIS WAS NOT AN ATTEMPT TO PROVE OR DISPROVE ANYONE BUT AN EFFORT TO
UNDERSTAND A NEW DIMENSION IN THE MEDICAL SCIENCE.

Consulting
I charge for my consulting services. For the past
few years, I had
offered 20 minutes (per person) of free consulting, on a
donation-only
basis, in the realm of sungazing. Unfortunately, too many
folks abused
that offer, with frequent and repeated requests for "free" consulting,
while never offering donations. Thus, while I still offer
consultng
or coaching on sungazing to those who request it, it is now subject --
as of June 25, 2004 -- to the normal terms, conditions and fees for my
consulting services. Details
on my consulting services and fees may be found by clicking here.
Thank you very much!
