Saint Giri Bala: A Woman Who Lived Without Food Or Water For Over 56 Years (Video).

In my last article I wrote about a girl Valeria Lukyanova who was starting her journey as a Breathanarian, which is basically someone who doeson’t eat or drink. I’m not sure if I find this a healthy choice but I was more curious to find out more about the life of a Breathanarian so I researched. I stumbled upon a page about an author named Paramahansa Yogananda who wrote a book called Autobiography of a Yogi. In this book he tells of his experiences meeting Giri Bala, the only woman in the world who had not eaten any food or liquids in over 56 years.

Giri Bala’s story is actually quite simple and somewhat of a silly beginning. Giri since a very young age always had a love for food and had quite an appetite. Giri’s mother always told her that her appetite was not good for her and her future marriage where she ended up marrying at the age of nine. Sadly, Giri recieved the privilage of having her mother-in-law give a bunch of grief on her eating habits. After awhile of being teased by her mother-in-law she decided to stop eating all together. She went to a secluded spot and prayed to God to send her a guru who could teach her to live by God’s light alone and with no physical food. She immediately felt an ecstasy come over her and she set out to travel to the holy river called the Ganges.

As she left her riverbank her guru materialized right in front of her. This is what He said, as quoted from Paramahansa Yogananda’s book, “Autobiography of a Yogi”.

“Dear little one, I am the guru sent here by God to fulfill your urgent prayer. He was deeply touched by its very unusual nature. From today you shall live by the astral light. Your bodily atoms shall be recharged by the infinite current.” Giri Bala was initiated into a specific Kriya Yoga technique which frees the physical body from the need for gross physical food. This technique included the use of a mantra and certain breathing exercises. She practiced the technique religiously and has never eaten since. She said she has never been sick in her entire life and is not weak in the slightest (Iamuniversity para. 6).

Giri has not eaten from the age of twelve years old to sixty eight years old. Absolutly incredible! Her amazing energy comes from air, sunlight, and cosmic power, that comes through the medulla oblongata.

Of course someone who claims they have lived off no food or water for over 56 years is going to get questioned. So an investigation was performed by the leader of her province. She agreed to go to her leaders palace and be locked in a small cell of his home for two months. She had no food or water! Even after that people were still skeptical so she stayed twenty more says in another test and the final test she stayed fifteen days.

Oh the wonders of what God can do for the mind, body, and soul.

I couldn’t find any good videos in English but here is a video for you others that can interpret this man’s words:

Stay groovy!
