According to the Rosicrucian Digest, June 1959, a person by the name of Balayogini Sarasvati of Amma, India, lived on water only for a period of more than three years.

Also, from the Saibaba newsletter:

About the time when Sadguru Sri Sai Narayan Baba was 22 years of age, he came in contact with the renowned lady Saint, 'Sri Aadi Maha Shakti Balayogini Saraswati Amma' of Versova, Andheri, Mumbai, when he visited her Ashram on 7th December, 1958. The young Narayan prostrated at her lotus feet and said, "Maa, bless me that I may want nothing upto my last breath".

These, few words of a rare request, moved the powerful Amma from her state of meditation and after deep thought she granted him increasing eternal peace, love and devotion so that he in turn should spread and impart it to people he would meet. She dropped a pinch of kumkum (saffron colored powder) on his palm and told him to close his fist. She chanted some Mantras and asked him to open his fist. The powder bad been transformed to a dazzling metallic figurine of Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi.

Amazed at what he beheld, Narayan asked "whose icon it was?". Maa replied and said, "This is Sri Sai Baba of Shirdi who would Reveal Himself to him and guide him in his quest and His Message would become a torch light for him." Further on the Maha Sivaratri of 1959, a dazzling metallic Shiva ling appeared from nowhere in the palm of Sri Sai Narayan Baba in the presence of Mataji. Once again (during the auspicious Sri Rama Navami of 1959 another metallic darling icon of Sri Sai Baba appeared in the palm of Sri Sai Narayan Baba. Out of the three, one of the icons of Sri Shirdi Sai Baba, after being worshipped by Sri Sai Narayan Baba for a few years disappeared miraculously. But the two other icons, one of Sri Sai Baba & another of Shiva are worshipped regularly as per the Vedic rites by Sri Sai Narayan Baba and these two Murtis are exhibited for Darshan once in a year i.e., on the auspicious Deepavali day.

These icons are present in the Sri Bhagawati Sai Sansthan, Panvel. Before Sri Aadi Maha Shakti Balayogini Saraswati Amma attained immortality, she willed that all her rare idols of worship i.e., Durga Mata, Shivling, Nandishwar, Shaligram, Shanku etc. that belonged to her Ashram in Versova, be given to Sadguru Sri Sai Narayan Baba.
