quoth, unquoth.
"Former Kerala-based businessman, Hira Ratan Manek (69), through his study of the life of the Jain Tirthankara, Bhagvan Mahavir (who used to practise sun gazing) has perfected a technique of sun gazing which he practices and teaches. According to him, this method is enough to cure any kind of psychological problem, develop confidence and overcome any kind of fear, including that of death. As one practices the technique further, it renders freedom from physical illnesses and finally even hunger, thus yielding a peaceful, harmonious body and mind. Since June 18, 1995, he has been living only on sun energy and water, with the occasional intake of tea, coffee or buttermilk.
He has undertaken three lengthy fasts under medical supervision in order to validate his claims. The first was for 211 days in 1995-96 in Calicut, under the direction of Dr C.K. Ramchandran.
He next undertook a 411-day fast in 2000-2001 in Ahmedabad, under the supervision of an international team of 21 doctors.
The unbelievable results prompted an invitation to Thomas Jefferson Unive-rsity and University of Pennsylvania, where he underwent a 130-day observation period led by Dr Andrew B. Newberg, a leading authority on the brain. The results proved that his gray cells had regenerated, and his pineal gland, far from shrinking as is customary after the age of 55, had actually expanded to the size of 8 x 11 mm as opposed to the normal size of 6 x 6 mm."
"living on the sun & fresh air."
