LIVING SOLELY ON ‘LIGHT ENERGY’
SHRI HIRA RATAN MANEK-HAS NOT EATEN FOOD FOR 7 YEARS

‘Sweeps NOTE’:
After reading/maybe reflecting on this Topic…as explained below…perhaps you’ll comment or give your own feedback to the Forum. I’ve know of people who DID go off into wilderness areas in the ‘States’, trying to ‘Live Off Light’ and using different adaptic/body adjustment techniques…AND THEY DIED or were found in a pretty weakened or ‘live threatening states’. Well…can this be achieved ‘Living on Light’? Maybe only nearly ascended ones should be candidates. Your call.

154 downloadsA Man from India…Shri Hira Ratan Manek…is claimed to have Not Eaten Food for 7 years. Shri Hira Ratan Manek said…in an interview with ‘The Post’ in India…that he has not eaten food since 1995.
NOW…world famous doctors, engineers, scientists etc. are engaged in studying this phenomena to find out how Manek has sustained himself only on water, and on a little tea and coffee for short duration's. Shri Hira Ratan Manek, a mechanical engineer from Calicut, Kerala, says that…this is not something new or that I have discovered it...This is a scientific ritual - the Surya Namaskar…originating from Lord Mahavir's Atapna principle…Gayathri mantra, Bala - Atibala, Ramayan mantra which is gaining popularity and world acceptance.
*Doctors examining Manekji say:
Even the brain and mental capacities are absolutely normal. There are hardly any findings. He has stopped passing stool after 16th day of fasting and urine output is maintained at around 600 to 800 c.c. His blood sugar is 60 to 90. There is no acetone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of his other medical parameters are normal. It is just amazing.
But how can it be hypothesized? How does science look at it? As per science, under normal circumstances of prolonging starvation…under accidental situation or extraordinary situation…human beings lose weight fast.
First fat is utilized. Then Ketones appear in urine in the first week.
Then proteins are burnt. But…before that…the person becomes dull, lethargic and irritable, and his logic reasoning fails and vital parameters fall. Within 8 to 10 weeks, the very physical existence of a person will be challenged. Here though there seems to be no such ill effect.
How do we explain this? How does his energy mathematics works? How he is still so intact with normal intellect, normal mental, function? Though so far there is no solid thesis…as this is the first case/event in the world under medical supervision…there has to be some logical, scientific hypothesis.
It explains quite a bit, but also leaves few questions unanswered…for all of us to further analyze. It also opens, at the same time, several new avenues to work on it.
OK…This hypothesis has four basic steps to explain energy-metabolic mathematics:
(1) Reducing calorie requirement by chronic adaptation.
(2) Deriving basic energy from cosmic source-chiefly, `sun energy'.
(3) Utilizing the energy in the efficient way and recycling the same in his body.
(4) Genetically or phenotypically a different body disposition.
The scientific technique practiced by Manekji is simple…deriving his energy from the cosmic source or the solar energy of the sun. The sun being the most powerful source…has been used for energy by sages and rishis since ancient times including Lord Mahavir, Tibetan Lamas and rishis.
Mankind is also using solar energy for running solar cookers, solar heaters, solar cars etc. he says. Similarly Manekji has converted himself basically…into a solar cooker.
The brain and the mind are the most powerful recipients in the human body. The retina and the pineal gland…the third eye/’psychic gland’…are equipped with photoreceptor cells and may be considered photosensitive organs he says. As the plant kingdom thrives on chlorophyll and photosynthesis, which is directly dependent on the sun, similarly some kind of photosynthesis or photo analysis must be taking place when we assimilate the sun's energy.
There is a pathway from the retina to the hypothalamus called the retino-hypothalamic tract. The method adopted by Manekji is to initially look at the early morning sun for a few seconds and every week to increase by a few seconds which should ultimately reach several minutes.
After about 3 months he says the brain gets charged and mental strength increases that heals fears and many psychosomatic diseases. At the end of 6 months all physical disease go away he says. Gradually…after 8 to 9 months there is a decline in hunger, which ultimately disappears.
This is the utilization of energy mathematics and is different from food or calorie mathematics he said. He calls this micro or mind…utilization food.
Manekji ALSO says…most people utilize only 3 to 10% of their brains, but he has utilizes 25% of his brainpower. Manekji claims he is the only person to come forward with this ‘LIGHT LIVING’…and has attracted medical attention.
CT scans and MRI scan reports say that his 66-year-old pineal gland is comparable to a man in his 20s. He also says one should walk barefoot on mother earth for 45minutes every day to recharge the energy in the body.
Manekji has 25,000 people around the world that have started to practice his technique.
According to him…food is but a secondary source of solar energy. He is also planning to write a book. At present he is in the US where a team of medical doctors are going to conduct tests. In the mean time he gives several discourses to explain on a scientific level how he has sustained himself for seven years and says he will continue.
