Prahlad Jani, also known as "Mataji", (born Chunriwala Mataji, 13 August 1929) is an Indian sadhu who claims to have lived without food and water since 1940. He says that the goddess Amba sustains him.
==Early life== Born Chunriwala Mataji, Jani grew up in Charada village in Mehsana district.〔 According to Jani, he left his home in Rajasthan at the age of seven, and went to live in the jungle.〔 At the age of 11, Jani underwent a religious experience and became a follower of the Hindu goddess Amba. From that time, he chose to dress as a female devotee of Amba, wearing a red sari-like garment, jewellery and crimson flowers in his shoulder-length hair.〔 Jani is commonly known as ''Mataji'' ("(manifestation of ) The Great Mother"). Jani believes that the goddess provides him a liquid sustenance〔 or water which drops down through a hole in his palate, allowing him to live without food or drink.〔 Since the 1970s, Jani has lived as a hermit in a cave in the rainforest near the Gujarati temple of Ambaji, awakening at 4am each day and spending most of his time meditating.〔
