Englishmen who witnessed Lord Shiva 

This is the most amazing event mentioned in the book Yoga Yatra. India was under British rule in 1879.
Lieutenant Colonel Martin Agar Malwa, an English officer, was leading the force in the war against Afghanistan. It was customary for Colonel Malwa to send letters to his wife about her welfare. But this war went on. Moreover, no letter from Karnali came to his wife. The Colonel's wife was saddened by the lack of a letter. The Baijnath Temple is visible in the eyes of a horse rider one day. Sankoli and the magical sounds of the temple attracted him and he went inside and saw the prayers of the Vedas. After hearing the reason of the sad face, the Vedas recite the lakurutri chanting chant for 11 days following the mantra of Om Namasivaya for the wife of the Colonel, claiming that Lord Shiva would listen to the prayers of the devotees and restore the suffering of his neighbors. The Colonel's wife and her husband return home without any grief, begging for the renovation of the Baijnath Temple.

Lakuruthri begins to pronounce the Anushanta mantra and brings exactly the eleventh day message, bringing the message from the kernel. In which it was written "from the battlefield sequel I'd letters sent was. But suddenly one day, on all sides by enemies around us were. We had to flee hopelessly got. Hopeless environment there just in time for a long hair of the Indian turaviyaik saw. His arms and three edges Of the weapon was. And his appearance chilling color he had in his hand was the weapon handling and how great the way it was. The best man saw the enemy retreated and fled. The saint's grace defeat in time to the exact opposite, with variable success obtained. And these are cattiyamanatan because he wore Kaikontirunta skinning the arms of three-point irunta. The high monk told me not to worry and that comply with a request by the prayers of my wife, had told the guard. The moment he read the letter, the eyes of the Colonel's wife shed tears of joy, his heart sinking with joy, and he surrendered to Lord Shiva's feet. After Colonel Martin's return a few weeks later, he described what had happened. The Colonel and his wife were the first Shiva devotees.

In 1883 the colonel and his wife donated Rs 16,000 to renovate the temple. The news is still in the temple inscriptions of Baijnath, the only temple built by the British.
