Have a look at below-
- Harbhajan Singh, a Sentry of Punjab Regiment was posted as a part of border patrol army force.
- He was escorting a mule during his battle.
- Suddenly he slipped & lost his balance, which resulted in him falling into fast flowing water and drowned due to strong currents.
- The death news of him was confirmed but his body was not yet been found.
- After a few days, a fellow army had a dream in which Baba himself informed him about the location of his body.
- And the body was found at the same exact place.
Shocking, right?
Moreover, Baba appeared in his colleague’s dream frequently and warned them about future dangers. After that, the army decided to build a shrine to honor sepoy Harbhajan Singh to feel his aura and presence!
