According to devotees, Baba was returning home from work in his fields one day when he was killed by thugs. One of close followers, suffering from eczema, was told by Baba in a dream that the soil surrounding his mortally wounded body would cure the ailment when applied to the inflamed area. After being magically cured, the disciple spread the word and a shrine was established for devotees to visit. Almost 350 years later, this shrine, on the border between India and Pakistan, is still considered a neutral zone where both Indians and Pakistanis reap the curative properties of the holy mud. Both armies allow cartloads of the mud to pass unhindered. Villages in the area have experienced constant fighting but the saint&#8217;s shrine remains unscathed.<br \/>\n<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: New Zealand Herald CHAMLIYAL, INDIA, January 23, 2002: Located 40 kilometers south of Jammu, the holy mud shrine dedicated,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1605","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1605"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1605\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1605"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1605"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
