Will Power


A Yogi in India is perplexing a whole lot of people with his amazing feats of will power. Supposedly, he has not drank or taken a bite to eat in 70 years. Prahlad Jani proved it to doctors by staying 15 days in a hospital and was not observed eating, drinking or going to the bathroom. Hell, I went to the bathroom twice while writing this blog. No one knows how he is doing this. I am not sure if this story is a hoax or not but it sure has media legs. He says he was blessed by a goddess at a young age, which gave him special powers. I know that if I was blessed by a goddess at a young age that I would have asked for something a little different than the ability to not eat or drink. I don't know what exactly I would have wished for but my hunch is that the goddess would have run or flown away in disgust.
