Synopsis

This book delves into the curious claims that Indian holy men have the ability to bury themselves alive, existing for days or weeks with no apparent food, air, or communication with the outside world. The author, a respected scientist, approaches the topic with skepticism but an open mind, determined to uncover the truth behind these extraordinary feats. Drawing on eyewitness accounts, historical records, and his own scientific expertise, the author investigates the physiological and psychological phenomena involved in these practices. He explores the concept of self-induced trance states, known as "hypnotism," and its potential to drastically reduce the body's vital functions, allowing for extended periods of suspended animation. Through the author's meticulous research and analysis, this book sheds light on a hidden aspect of human physiology and the limits of our understanding. It challenges conventional notions of survival and the boundaries of human consciousness, offering a unique perspective on the mind's capacity for self-regulation and resilience.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
