Mystery of the missing Sadhu Amazing stories of Sadhu Sunder Singh, a commited evangelist who defied death more than once Updated - August 01, 2018 02:39 pm IST EFFECTIVE SPEAKER: Sadhu Sunder Singh The outer rooms of St Stephen’s College no longer resound to the mesmerising voice of Sadhu Sunder Singh but the mystery of the amazing hermit lingers on even long years after his disappearance. The Sadhu was a frequent visitor to the college as principal Rudra was a great admirer and often arranged meetings for him with Mahatma Gandhi at his residence. Sadhu Sunder Singh, a convert to Christianity, was declared dead by the then Government of India in 1933, but there are people who swear the great mystic is alive and bides his time in the remote Himalayas, knowing the type of man he was and considering the fact that he had a strong constitution. After conversion at a very young age, Sunder Singh took upon himself the task of preaching his newly acquired faith in Tibet, which was up to the beginning of the last century a forbidden land. Every year, he used to go on a one-man mission to teach the gospel to the Tibetans and return after suffering many hardships. Once the Chief Lama had him whipped and, with his hands and legs tied, threw him into the well of death where criminals met their end. Sunder Singh prayed hard and on the third night some one lowered a rope with a cot tied to it. He managed to get out of the well and when the Chief Lama saw him again he was mad with rage. He looked for the key to the well which was kept only by him, and found that it had not been stolen as he had suspected. Yet the Sadhu was able to escape from that locked pit of death. #orokpo #adullam #eos #remnantchristiannetwork @Apostle Michael Orokpo - @emerghom8ap
