Here are the mind-bending Unresolved mysteries and cases of India that made the toughest mind crack.
Prahlad Jani: The Man Who Never Ate Until Alive
Known as India’s greatest human mystery, Prahlad Jani lived 70 years without a bite of food or water. He was one example of a medical mystery, where doctors watched him eat and drink nothing, and still be alive.
Prahlad Jani was also known by the name Mataji, as he was a great devotee of Maa Ambe. His belief that the goddess Ambe provided him with water and food directly through a hole in his palate kept him full and alive.
In 2010, a team of doctors conducted a 15-day investigation, monitored by three cameras that were constantly watching. To everyone’s surprise, the fasting monk defied every medical logic. Being alive without any signs of dehydration or starvation, Prahlad Jani was observed as healthy as a 40-year-old. The mystery remains unsolved: how Prahlad Jani could stay alive without anything but oxygen.
Roopkund Skeleton Lake Mystery
The silent horror of Roopkund Lake, located in the icy high Himalayas, has left people with an unsolved puzzle. The place is also now known by the name of “Skeleton Lake”, which has become a haunting Himalayan mystery. At first glance, you will find the lake serene, beautiful, shining like a jewel in the snow. But, as soon as the snow starts melting, the skeletons start emerging. No one knows who they were!
Devotees caught in the storm?
Unsuccessful ancient rituals?
Questions also arose about how long the skeletons have been at this place and why no one has a solid conclusion in this case. The skeletons were first found by the forest ranger H.K. Madhwal, who claimed the bones had clinging flesh on them. This frightened the authorities of the secret investigation.
The skeletons were thought to be of Japanese soldiers on a secret mission during World War 2. A radiocarbon investigation was carried out for the DNA analysis thereafter. Radiocarbon investigation revealed the age of the skeletons, which dated back to 850 CE. Hence, ruling out the Japan connection, and leaving the investigation a deep mystery.
Some bones were found to be over a thousand years old, while others were far more recent. No one knows how the skeletons appear together at such a desolate spot, leaving this riddle in deep thought.
Cursed Stone in Maharashtra
In Shivapur, Maharashtra, at a shrine named Hazrat Qamar Ali Darvesh, a saint 800 years ago cursed a stone. An ordinary rock, weathered and forgotten, holds power with it. The rock weighs 70 kgs and can’t be lifted by anyone, until a group of 11 men gather around it. They are required to point their forefingers towards it and name the saint who cursed the stone.
After this, the stone levitates in the air on its own, showing the power of the curse around the stone. The stone was cursed by the Sufi Saint Qamar Ali, who used it for bodybuilding. To this day, its mystery lingers with truths buried deep beneath.
Venkateshwar Temple, Tirupati
We have heard of the infamous temple of Venkateshwar Temple at Tirupati. This spiritual temple of lord Venkatesh is located in Andhra Pradesh, has natural hair growing like human hair. The hair of the deity is silky smooth, never tangles, and is purely natural.
Lord Vishnu once in his incarnation as Srinivasa, was injured in a battle. His head was wounded, and a part of his hair from his scalp was lost. Seeing this, Neela Devi, the gandharva princess, cut her hair locks and implanted them on the head of Srinivasa. The hair got its roots, and began growing as natural hair.
Till today, the hair of the deity is seen growing, and devotees offer hair as an offering to the god. The tonsuring ritual, or devotees shaving their heads at the temple, is age age-old ritual followed as an offering to the deity.
The deity’s face is observed to be covered in small water droplets, indicating that Lord Venkateshwar also perspires. The sweat is often wiped off with a silk cloth. Another fascinating miracle of the lit earthen lamp placed before the deity, which never blows off. The flames never blow off and have been flickering forever since the time, marking the Tirupati Balaji miracles.
Alien Rock Art of Charma Village
In the Chhattisgarh village of Charma, people were fascinated with human-like sculptures with long heads and strange shapes. A strange cave artwork in the Kankar region was featured in the rock painting near Charma village. According to the locals, “Rohella People” are little creatures with small stature.
They frequently arrive in circular flying objects, and they take a few individuals with them on their way back. The encounters of the extraterrestrial beings are prompting a request to involve NASA and ISRO for investigation by the archaeologist J.R. Bhagat. However, the discovery keeps both the researcher and enthusiasts, keeping the story between folklore and fact alive.
These Puzzles Still Wait for Answers…
There is much more enthusiastic and mind-bending research that deepens the facts and is never-ending. A few research studies that surfaced are widely recognised by the nation, and are living proof that miracles are around us.
India is not just the land of culture and spirituality, but also holds mysteries that challenge logic and defy time. So, next time you come across any mystery, remember you are not just hearing some story, but staring into the unknown.
