Lurk, The guy has not been observed long enough to declare a miracle. And, as we know, bribery is the life blood of India. The guy could be merely fasting and secretly pissing in a wad of tissue which he hands off to a friend.
I saw this article yesterday about an American guy, decades ago, that went around showing folks how he could be run completely through by a sword. Turns out he had taken a year and built a shaft thought his body like one has through an earlobe for an earring -- talk about your dedicated scammers! Same deal with this yogi -- even two dollars is big time motivation in India. Get international acclaim, no matter how temporary, and the guy's going on a speaking tour for the rest of his life as "the saint." Western science is not going to have a second thought about this.
