Ten Months without food and water..common you got to be kidding. And they didnt let the scientists to verify that saying" it would disturb his meditation"....How foolish. About 7-8 years ago, there was a rumor ( apparently started by some dhotis in Britain) that Ganesh bhagwan's statue or pic was drinking milk.. This rumor came to india and finally to Nepal ( especially Biratnagar). All those stupid people started streaming to the temples in BRT . Finally it was proved the next day that it was just a hoax. This is all BULLSHIT.. just my opinion...
