Q: Can we live without eating?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Little food you must have. Even I’m eating little.

There are people living on prana, I have seen them but they don’t look so bright. I have met not one or two, but several people who are just not eating at all.

There is one gentleman on whom they did many experiments in America. This man just does sun gazing and does not eat food. But time to time he has some tea with 4 to 5 spoonfuls of sugar.

But I was not so inspired to try it. They don’t look robust. Not enough vibrant prana or personality. So I did not try.

I do fast. I fast for some days and I’ve done it in the past also. You can do it but I don’t advice that. You have to be in isolation, silence, with no activity, then you can fast for a couple of days.

I don’t advice that (fasting) without some juice or some fruits. One must take something. Not just live on prana.

If we were supposed to live like that, then why did God make the liver and pancreas, and all the enzymes in the body? He would have just made it such that you only breath all over. All hollow and empty. The fact that we have all these organs is that they need to be put to use, but not over use. We are experts in either shutting it down or over using it. Both are wrong. Moderation. Eat a little bit, minimum, that is good enough.
