Hira Ratan Manek - Not Eaten Food for 7 years

Bineeta Mishra

In an exclusive interview with India Post Shri Hira Ratan Manek said that he has not eaten food since 1995. 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 "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.

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 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) 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 retinohypothalamic 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. And 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 says most people utilize only 3 to 10% of their brains, but he has utilizes 25% of his brainpower. Manekji says he is the only person to come forward 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.

He has 25,000 people around the world that have started to practice his technique. According to him food is 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 will continue.
