Another monk bites the dust

Breatharian claimant Prahlad Jani has died.

Quote:

Prahlad Jani (Gujarati: પ્રહલાદ જાની), also known as Mataji or Chunriwala Mataji, (13 August 1929 ― 26 May 2020) was an Indian breatharian monk who claimed to have lived without food and water since 1940. He said that the goddess Amba sustained him. However, the findings of the investigations on him have been kept confidential.

Quote:

Prahlad Jani was born in Charada village in Mehsana district.[1] According to Jani, he left his home in Gujarat at the age of seven, and went to live in the jungle.[2] At the age of 12, Jani underwent a spiritual experience and became a follower of the Hindu goddess Amba. From that time, he chose to dress as a female devotee of Amba, wearing a red sari-like garment, jewellery and crimson flowers in his shoulder-length hair.[2] Jani is commonly known as Mataji ("[a manifestation of] The Great Mother"). Jani believes that the goddess provides him with a liquid sustenance[2] or water which drops down through a hole in his palate, allowing him to live without food or drink.[1] Since the 1970s, Jani has lived as a ashram (hermit) in a cave in the forest in Gujarat, awakening at 4am each day and spending most of his time meditating.[2] He died on 26 May 2020 at Charada. He was buried at his ashram at Gabbar hill near Ambaji.[3][4]

I guess the lack of food and water finally caught up with him.
