Godmen claim that when they are
in samadhi all their bodily functions
also stop like the pulse, heart-beat etc. The yogi asks the doctor to check his
pulse. Then he goes into 'samadhi' and
the doctor is surprised to find there is no pulse.
Experiment - 42
Effect: Stopping the pulse.
Props: Two lemons or two
handkerchiefs, a medical doctor.

Pulse is the movement of blood in
the artery. When the lemon or a knot under the armpit is pressed, the blood
flow becomes slow and then stops.
A girl student of the Bhopal Medical
College got the first prize in All
India Yogic Competition at Kozhikode in Kerala
for stopping her pulse through yoga. Some of my friends sent me the news report
with her photograph. It was found that she had fooled the yoga examiners by
simply pressing her hands against her chest muscles and thus stopping the
pulse. Later, I found that she had earlier attended one of my lectures.

Experiment- 43
Effect: Stopping heart beat.
The yogi sits in padmasana and the doctor checks his
heart beat. Then the yogi takes deep breaths, controls the breath, and goes
into samadhi. The doctor finds that his
heart beat is beating faster and faster and then slowing down until it has completely
stopped.
Props: Medical doctor with
stethoscope.
Method: Fill the lungs with as much air as possible and keep the
breath in by pressure in the abdomen and chest. An air cushion is thus created
which absorbs the heart beats so that the doctor cannot detect them with his stethoscope.
Experiment - 44
Effect: Increasing the body temperature.
The yogi asks the doctor to check
his temperature which would be normal. He sits in meditation and requests the
doctor to check his temperature every five minutes. The doctor finds that
within 15 to 30 minutes his temperature has risen to 104° F.
At the Occult Conferences at New Delhi and Bangalore
in 1990, the press reported the claims of Dalai Lama that the Tibetan monk can
control the cold through meditation. And that they remain naked without feeling
cold. In the conference the above stunt was demonstrated as to how they increase
the body heat and control the winter cold.
In reality, if the temperature of
a person rises above the normal temperatures of 97.6°F., he is ill and suffering
from fever. If the temperature increases to 102° F or above, he shivers even in
hot weather. Thus the increase in body temperature cannot control the cold.
Cold is felt when coldness
touches the skin and through the skin pores it gets registered in the brain. So,
to control cold we wear warm clothes which do not absorb the cold. They thus
help the body to retain its normal temperature. What really helps Tibetans is
not the meditation but the application of yak fat all over their bodies which
helps the body to retain its heat and also stops the cold from coming directly
into contact with skin.
Props: Soap of 8 to 10 ph value of 50 paisa coin size and diameter. A
cup of hot and very strong tea made with 3 spoons of tea leaves. A doctor and a
thermometer.
Method: Ask the doctor to check the temperature. Chew the soap and
swallow it. He will find it normal. Now drink the cup of tea, and act as if you
are doing pranayama (controlling the breath). Request the doctor to check your
temperature every five minutes. He will find that it is rising by 10 to 20 F
every five minutes until it reaches near about 1040 F.
This is a chemical reaction. Heat
is generated when alkali and acid come together. The soap is alkaline and tea
has 35% tannic acid. When both these combine in the stomach a reaction takes
place and heat is generated, which will go on until the reaction is over. After
the demonstration drink as much cold water as possible to bring down the
temperature to normal.

Also I heat my own body up in meditation without any of the stuff you mention in this article and I don't practise pranayama to do it, I just do it, and I don't really know how. I don't consider it really impressive though that I can do this. Maybe I could take your challenge and win it? It doesn't seem like a miracle to me though, it's just like moving your arm or controlling your body in other ways, simply an effort of the will.
All you prove is there are fraudulent means of doing these things. Doesn't mean people can't do those things without those things mentioned
