Hira Ratan Manek - The Natural Mind Power

About Hira Ratan Manek. Born on September 12, 1937 in Bodhavad, India, he began to research and study the ancient
practice of sun-gazing in which he had been interested since his childhood. During his study, he was inspired by the teachings of Lord

Mahavir of Jains, who was also practicing this method 2,600 years ago. Other inspirations for sun-gazing came from ancient Egyptians,
Greeks, and Native Americans. Since 1995, HRM has lived mostly on sunlight and water with occasional meals and drinks. He was under
strict observation by multiple scientifi c and medical teams. The fi rst observed fast lasted 211 days, the second lasted 411 days, and the
third was at Thomas Jefferson University and University of Pennsylvania for 130 days led Dr. Andrew B. Newberg, a leading authority
on the brain and also featured in the recent movie “What the Bleep Do We Know,” and by Dr. George C. Brenard, the leading authority
on the pineal gland. Initial results found that the gray cells in HRM’s brain are regenerating. Seven hundred photographs were taken where the neurons were
shown to be active and not dying. Furthermore, the pineal gland was expanding and not shrinking, which is what typically happens after mid-fi fties, and its
maximum average size is about 6 x 6 mm. However for HRM, it was last measured to be at 8 x 11 mm.
