A few years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Hira Ratan Manek (HRM) in my home state of Delaware. He was on a panel at an India Day festival with 8 doctors who had been studying him for over a year. The panel was a basic Q/A session on the practice of sun gazing and how HRM used the energy of the sun to live without food on a regular basis and to als do a supervised fast for 411 days. Yes you read right - four hundred and eleven days.
Ever since that initial meeting I've been totally inspired by the history, science and possibilities of Sun Gazing. Recently HRM's name has syncretistically come up in conversation and my thoughts, so I thought I'd run with that and share this article about HRM and sun gazing by Maurie D. Prressman, M.D, (originally published in the Monthly Aspectarian Magazine):
Realized Beings Among Us
by Maurie D. Prressman, M.D.An introduction to HRM, whose trained physical responses--for humanity's betterment--are being studied at various institutions in the U.S. and around the world.
The Tibetan (Alice Bailey's teacher) predicted that in the near future, we shall become the next race of men/women. At that time we shall operate upon mental energy, magnetic energy, sun energy. Scalpels and chemical agents will no longer be necessary.
There is some evidence that this shift is beginning, and I have met an individual, whom I believe is a realized being, hinting at the fact that this movement forward may be happening NOW.
