We found a newspaper clipping published in 1880 in the London Telegraph of a fascinating account of a Indian Fakir (Hatha Yogi) called Sadhu Haridas being buried alive for 40 days and then being completely resuscitated. Yet another story showing the amazing untapped powers of our minds through meditation.

“From the time of the box being opened to the recovery of the voice, not more than half an hour could have elapsed; and in another half hour, the Fakir talked with myself and those about him freely, though feebly, like a sick person. Then we left him, convinced that there had been no fraud or collusion in the exhibition we had witnessed.” Claude Wade’s account of the famous Fakir of Lahore

WONDERFUL PERFORMANCES OF THE INDIAN FAKIRS.

A WELL-ATTESTED ACCOUNT OF A FAKIR

WHO WAS SEALED UP, BURIED, AND RESUSITATED

AFTER FORTY DAYS

- THE PROCESS OF REVIVING THE VITAL SPARK

From the London Telegraph

Published Aug 22 1880

We are not told of whether the Seven Sleepers who retired to a cave in Ephesus during the reign of the Christian-killing Emperor Decius, and only woke up 155 years afterward, when Theodosius II. was on the throne, made any special preparation, but probably they did not. Perhaps it was not necessary. Those where stirring times for members of the new faith, and they had little opportunity to grow obese. But, as a rule, to fast successfully it is said to be necessary for a man to abstain beforehand, and reduce himself most carefully to the required condition by a long course of preparation. Pre-eminent at this art of suspending animation -for an art it becomes -are the Easterns, and most wonderful stories are told of the natives of India, which, whether their powers are due to narcotics or any other process, seem to open up-if true-a Wide field of medical study. One of these Indian stories, ‘not easily accessible, but of considerable interest on account of the known veracity of the witnesses, will probably be read with interest at the present time, and is inserted here. The author of it was one Hon. Capt.Osborn, and the notes made of his statement, here subjoined, come from an almost unique copy printed for private’ circulation.

“ Runjeet Sing had heard from a Seyd or Fakir who lived in the mountains, that the latter could allow himself to-be buried when in a condition of apparent death, without really ceasing to live, seeing that he understood the art of being’ brought back to life on being exhumed after several months
had passed. To the Maharaja this appeared to be a rank impossibility. In order, however, that he should he convinced one way or the other, he ordered the Fakir to be summoned to the Court, and caused him to undertake the singular experiment, under a threat that no means of precaution would be wanting toward the discovery of fraud. The Fakir consequently ’caused himself to appear in a state of apparent death. When  every spark of life had  seemingly vanished, he was, in the presence of the Maharajah and the nobles who surrounded him, wrapped up in the  linen on which he had been sitting, and on which the  the seal of Runjeet Sing was placed. The body  was then deposited in a chest, on which Runjeet
Sing, with his own hand, fixed at heavy padlock.

The chest was carried outside the town and buried  in a garden belonging to the Minister; barley was  sown over the spot, a wall was erected around it,  and sentinels posted. On the fortieth day, when  the chest containing the Fakir was dug up and  opened the man was found cold and stark in precisely the same condition as that in which he had  been left. With much trouble he was restored to  life by means of heat applied to the head, afflation in the ears and mouth, rubbing the body. &c. The  Minister Rajah Dhyan-Sing. assured a friend that
he had this Fakir, whose name was Haridas, for a period of four months under the earth at Jummoo in the mountains. On the day of his burial he had caused his beard to be shaved off, and when he  was taken up again his chin was just as smooth as  on the day when he was consigned to the earth –a proof, as would seem, of suspended animation.It is related that the Fakir in question took a purgative some time before the burial display, and for  several days afterward lived only on a scanty milk  diet. On the day of the interment it is said that,
instead of taking any nourishment, he swallowed  eighty yards of a strip of linen of the breadth of three  fingers, which he immediately drew up again, his  object being to clean the stomach. However wonderful and perhaps laughable these operations appear to many, it is plain that these people must have a singular control over the deferent organs of their bodies, and more especially over
their muscular contractions.

When all the necessary preparations have been accomplished,  the Fakir closes all the openings of his  body with stoppers made of aromatic wax, lays his tongue far back in his throat, crosses his hands  on his breast, and suspends animation by means of  holding his breath. On his being brought back to  life one of the first operations is by means of the  fingers, to draw the tongue away from the back of the throat; a warm and aromatic paste made of meal is then placed on his head, and air is blown  into his lungs and into the ear-holes, from which the Wax stoppers have been removed, the stoppers  in the nostrils being presently forced out with an  explosive noise. This is said to be the first sign of  a return to life. He then gradually commences to  breathe, opens the eyes, and recovers consciousness, continuous friction of the body being carried  on all the time.

” Here is a further curious statement of opinion on the subject of the Indian stories from an equally rare source, the littlo pamphlet of Sir Claude Wade,
published in 1837. ‘I was present ’ he writes, ‘at  the Court of Ranjeet Singh when the Fakir, mentioned by the Hon. Capt. Osborne, was buried alive for six weeks; and, although I arrived at few hours after his actual interment; and did not, consequently, witness that part of the phenomenon, I had the testimony of Runjeet Singh himself, and others of the most credible witnesses of his Court,  to the truth of the Fakir having been buried before them; and, from my having been myself present when he was disinterred , and restored  to a state of perfect vitality in a position so  close to him as to render any deception impossible, it is my firm belief that there was no collusion in producing the extraordinary sight which I have to relate.

I will briefly state what I saw, to enable others to judge of the weight due to my evidence, and whether my proof of collusion can, in in their opinion, be detected. On the approach of  the appointed time, according to invitation, I accompanied Runjeet Singh to the spot where the Fakir had been buried. It was in a square building, called a barra durra, in the middle of one of the  gardens adjoining the Palace at Lahore, with an  open veranda all round, having an enclosed room  in the centre. On arriving there, Runjeet Singh,  who was attended on the occasion by the whole of  his Court,  dismounted from his elephant, asked me to join him in examining the building to satisfy  himself that it was closed as he had left it.

After our examination we seated ourselves in the  veranda opposite the door, while some of Runjeet Singh’s people dug away the mud wall, and one of his officers broke the seal and opened the padlock. When the door was thrown open nothing but a dark room was to be seen. Runjeet Singh and myself then entered it, in company with the servant of the Fakir, and, a light being brought,
we descended about three feet below the floor of the room, into a sort of cell, where a wooden box about 4 feet long by 3 feet broad, with a sloping  roof, contained the Fakir, the door of which had also a padlock and seal similar to that on the outside. On opening it we saw a figure enclosed in a bag of white linen, fastened by a string over the head, on the exposure of which at grand salute was fired, and the surrounding multitude came crowding to the door to see the spectacle. After they had gratified their curiosity, the Fakir’s servant putting his arms into the box, took the figure out, and, closing the door, placed it with its back against it, exactly as the Fakir had been squatting (like a Hindu idol) in the box itself.

Ranjeet Singh and myself descended into the cell, which was so small we were only able to sit on the ground in front of the body, and so close to it as to touch it with our hands and knees. The servant then began pouring’ warm water over the figure, but as my object was to see if any fraudulent practices could be detected, I proposed to Runjeet Singh to tear open the bag and have a perfect view of the body before any means of resuscitation were employed. I, accordingly did so; and may here remark that the bag when first seen by us looked mildewed, as if it had been buried some time. The legs and arms of the body were shriveled and stiff, the face full, the head  reclined on the shoulder like that of a corpse. I then called to the medical gentleman who was attending me to come down and inspect the body, which he did, but could discover no pulsation in the heart, the temples, or the arms. There was, however a  heat about the region of the brain which no other part exhibited. The servant then commenced bathing him with hot water, and gradually relaxing his arms and legs  from the rigid state in which they were contracted, Ranjeet Singh taking his right and I his left leg, to aid by friction in restoring them to their proper action, during which time the servant placed at hot wheaten cake, about an inch thick, on the top of the head – a process which he twice or thrice repeated. He then pulled out of his nostrils and ears the wax and cotton with which they had been stopped, and ‘after great exertion opened his mouth by inserting the point of a knife between his teeth, and while holding his jaw open with his  left hand drew the tongue forward with his right, in the course of which the tongue flew back several times to its curved position upward, in which it had been, so as to close the gullet. He then rubbed his eyes with ghee (or clarified butter) for some seconds, till he succeeded in opening them, when the eyes appeared quite motionless and glazed. After the cake had been applied for the third time to the top of the head the body was violently convulsed, the nostrils became inflated, when respiration ensured, and the limbs began to  assume a nature of fullness; but the pulsation was still faintly perceptible. The servant then put some of the ghee on his tongue and made him swallow it.

A few minutes afterward the eyeballs became  dilated, and recovered their natural color, when the Fakir recognized Ranjeet Singh sitting close to him, and articulated in a low sepulchral tone, scarcely audible. ‘ Do you believe me now?’ Runjeet Singh replied in the affirmative, and invested the Fakir with a pearl necklace and a superb pair of gold bracelets, and pieces of silk and muslin, end shawls, forming what is called a khelat, such as is usually conferred by the Princes of India on persons of distinction. I share  entirely in  the apparent  incredibility of the fact of a man being buried alive and  surviving the trial without food or drink for various periods of duration; but, however incompatible with our knowledge of physiology, in the absence of any visible proof to the contrary I am bound to declare my belief in the facts winch I have represented, however impossible their existence may appear to others.”

To achieve these feats one would have to go through a lifetime of training and meditation. This is impossible for most people, but with audio technology such as Centerpointe Holosync  we can get a taste of what these holy men have achieved with a minimal level of dedication (see our WE RECOMMEND on the right for a FREE Demo CD).Similar Posts:

A study in India was recently completed in which an 82-year-old Indian sadhu named Prahlad Jani (affectionately known as Mataji) lived for 15 days straight without food or water.  An average human can only survive 4 days at most without water!

Even more amazingly, Prahlad claims to have not drunk water or eaten food since the early years of World War II.

‘I can’t recall exactly what it was, it was such a long time ago.’  said Prahlad

You might think Prahlad needs to hibernate to achieve these feats, but in fact he walks up to 200 km in the jungle, never sweating, feeling tired or needing to sleep.

He has meditated all  his life, from three up too several months straight.  At this point I hear a chorus of the words “nonsense”  and previous studies do appear to be biased, but not this latest study.

In this latest study researchers from India’s Defense Research and Development Organization got involved for defense reasons. They want their soldiers to be able to survive in harsh terrains without food or water for extended periods.  On April 22nd 2010, Mr Jani went on 15 days of tests at the end of which the researchers concluded that Mr Jani had apparently been living on thin air for the duration of his fast. The holy man emerged more healthy than men half his age!

During the 15 days a whole range of tests were conducted on Mr Jani which the doctors and scientists are yet to analyze. We will keep you posted on the results of the research.

This whole case is yet another example of the amazing benefits of long term meditation.

It is no secret that the great men of the ages had large sexual libidos. Recent events have revealed the significant sexual energy of some very famous and talented people in politics and sport. Just imagine if instead of wasting their sexual energy by debasing themselves and others, they instead used this energy to motivate or create value for themselves and others.  Fortunately, there is a way to do this.

In Chapter 11 of Napoleon Hill’s famous book “Think and Grow Rich” titled “The Mystery of Sex Transmutation” Napoleon Hill talks about an esoteric method of converting sex energy into a motivating force for creativity.

“The emotion of sex is an “irresistible force,” against which there can be no such opposition as an “immovable body.” When driven by this emotion, men become gifted with super power for action. Understand this truth, and you will catch the significance of the statement that sex transmutation contains the secret of creative ability.” ~ Napoleon Hill

Unfortunately, Napoleon Hill makes no mention of how to transmute sex energy.  But we discovered a method based on some ancient spiritual teachings.

Dr Wayne Dyer first brought the method to light to us when we ordered his CD “Meditations For Manifesting”. Wayne Dyer’s guru Dattatreya Siva Baba (also known as Baba Sri Siva) taught this meditation to Dr Wayne Dyer over 10 years ago. You can see Dr Baba teaching the meditation technique in the following video.

To assist in the meditation you can use the following chakra diagram to work out  the chakra locations mentioned.

So next time you have more sexual energy than usual, don’t waste it, instead transmute the energy into serious creativity and manifest the Divine’s desire for your life.

Let us know if this meditation technique worked for you in the blog comments below.

May 4th is the official Star Wars Day. It is sometimes called  Luke Skywalker Day. Yoda Quotes seem quite fitting for this day, so we decided to share some of our favorite Yoda Quotes.

Why May 4th?

It was chosen because of the pun of the words “May the force be with you” with “May the forth be with you”.

Our Favorite Yoda Quotes

“Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

“Remember, a Jedi’s strength flows from the Force. But beware. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side are they. Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny”

“Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.”

I have suffered from a disease called Ulcerative Colitis for over 23 years. It is a very inconvenient disease characterized by inflammation of the large intestine. Symptoms include passing blood, severe abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Up until now the best method I have found to control Ulcerative Colitis is to exercise at least 3 times a week, but a new study shows that olive oil may also be an effective guard against this disease.  This is very encouraging news not to mention that I have already incorporated olive oil into my diet and my experience so far has backed up the findings.

The study was carried out by researchers at the University of East Anglia (UAE). Over 25,000 people aged 40-65 were studied over a number of years. At the beginning of the study none of the subjects had ulcerative colitis but by the end of the longitudinal study a number of subjects did develop the disease. Based on a detailed analysis of the participants diets by trained nutritionists at Cambridge they found that the people who had the highest intake of olive oil in their diet had a 90% lower risk of developing the disease.

"Oleic acid seems to help prevent the development of ulcerative colitis by blocking chemicals in the bowel that aggravate the inflammation found in this illness… We estimate that around half of the cases of ulcerative colitis could be prevented if larger amounts of oleic acid were consumed. Two-to-three tablespoons of olive oil per day would have a protective effect," said Dr Hart.

The study is not definitive but similar studies are now being carried out in other countries to test the results. This is really encouraging news for sufferers of this debilitating disease.

If you also suffer from ulcerative colitis please comment on what treatments you have found to be effective?

The heading does sound like a weight loss advertisement for the latest miracle cure but researchers at the University Of North Carolina have shown that for a group of test subjects with only four days of mindfulness meditation training 20 minutes each day, a 10 times improvement in cognitive skills was achieved.

“It goes to show that the mind is, in fact, easily changeable and highly influenced, especially by meditation.” said Fadel Zedian one of the researchers.

The Test Results

The test group trained in mindfulness meditation performed ten times better on challenging tests requiring a sustained ability to focus while at the same time holding other information in mind.  Most exciting of all is that they also did significantly better than non mindfulness trained subjects on time constrained tasks – the type of tasks that would normally cause significant stress and inhibited performance for most people.

The Meditation Technique Used

An abbreviated form of mindfulness training was used based on the Buddhist Shamatha meditation tradition. The trainings were conducted by an advanced practitioner.

“participants were instructed to relax, with their eyes closed, and to simply focus on the flow of their breath occurring at the tip of their nose. If a random thought arose, they were told to passively notice and acknowledge the thought and to simply let ‘it’ go, by bringing the attention back to the sensations of the breath. The simple process of focusing on the breath in a relaxed manner, in a way that teaches you to regulate your emotions by raising one’s awareness of mental processes as they’re happening is like working out a bicep, but you are doing it to your brain. Mindfulness meditation teaches you to release sensory events that would easily distract, whether it is your own thoughts or an external noise, in an emotion-regulating fashion. This can lead to better, more efficient performance on the intended task.”

As pointed out in the study this type of training is not necessarily permanent you need to keep practicing daily.

Our belief at excitedbylife.com is that our best teachers in Life are our children. Adora Svitak, is a modern day child prodigy. The following Ted presentation  was filmed when she was just 12. We learnt so much from watching Adora. Let us know what you think?

About Adora

She could read from age of 4 and was an active blogger since the age of 7. She is now a popular author and teacher at just 12!

Quick Notes

• Adults call children “childish” – But there are many examples showing that age has nothing to do with irresponsibility or with responsibility e.g. George Bush vs Ann Frank.  Age has nothing to do with wisdom.
• Children still dream of perfection. Adults are largely jaded and give up on solving the worlds problems creatively.  In order to make anything a reality you have to dream about it. Kids can teach us to dream again.
• Adults restrict kids – “don’t do that , don’t do this”. Children have no say in the rules. Don’t hold them back. Adults need to break the rules occasionally and think outside of the box.
  
• Adults underestimate children’s abilities. Some parents actively encourage their children to be more. Adora’s parents read her the works Aristotle and other great works.   Adora was ign0red by publishers initially when she tried to publish her first book at age 8. It eventually got picked up by a publisher. The book is called “Flying Fingers” and is now a best seller. Never underestimate anyone’s ability. Give everyone a chance.

Every blogger has a set of “must-have plugins” that they install on all their blogs. We wanted to share with you the plugins that we love and use the most on our various blogs.

First off, we posted previously that if you don’t want the hassle of managing word press plug-ins then we recommend semiologic. The maintainer of semiologic, Denis de Barnady, works very closely with the wordpress team and  always keeps his semiologic plugins up to date. Denis includes every plugin you could possibly want in his package.

However, if you want to install your own plug-ins here are our choices of must-have word press plug-ins.

1. ShareThis allows your readers to share your blog content. Unlike other bookmark plugins, it does not slow your site down with a lot of java script. It also has a Reporting Dashboard where you can see the number of page views and widget views.
2. Similar Posts Displays a highly configurable  list of related posts. Similarity can be based on any combination of word usage in the content, title, or tags. This is a great way for automatically generating internal links on your blog.
3. YQL Auto Tagger Automatically finds tags based on your post content. A great time saver.
4. TweetMeMe allows your readers to tweet about your content on twitter. It also displays the number of times your blog post has been tweeted.
5. DoFollow removes the nofollow tag in the comments people make. You effectively become a Dofollow blog and are more likely to get blog comments.
6. FeedBurner FeedSmith Originally authored by Steve Smith and now maintained by FeedBurner, this plugin detects all ways to access your original WordPress feeds and redirects them to your FeedBurner feed so you can track every possible RSS subscriber.
7. Google XML Sitemaps This plugin will generate a special XML sitemap which will help search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing and Ask.com to better index your blog.
8. No Self Pings Keeps WordPress from sending pings to your own site.
9. WP-Sticky Adds a sticky post feature to your WordPress’s blog. This allows you to keep your pillar or cornerstone content always on your front home page.
10. WPtouch iPhone Theme A plugin which formats your site with a mobile theme for the Apple iPhone / iPod touch, Google Android and other touch-based smartphones. Also allows your blog to be viewed on the Amazon kindle.
11. WP-o-Matic Enables administrators to create posts automatically from RSS/Atom feeds. This is great if you have a store or shop that has an RSS feed of newly added products. As you add products to your shop they can be posted on your blog automatically.
12. All in One SEO Pack Out-of-the-box SEO for your Wordpress blog.
13. WP Super Cache Very fast caching plugin for WordPress. By default the php code of wordpress is very slow and the slowness creates a very bad user experience on large blogs. This plugin will address the problem.

UPDATE: I  previously recommend WP Auto Tagger for auto tagging, but was unhappy to discover that this plugin  randomly posts advertising links into your Blog Roll links. In fact I recommend that people avoid downloading plugins and free templates from wordpresssupplies.com as their “free stuff” appears to contain a lot of adware that will be displayed on your website when you least expect.

What are your must-have plug-ins?  Let us know in the comments below.Similar Posts:
