Grieving his mother and bitter toward the missionaries' faith, the teenage Sikh Sundar Singh burned a Gospel in protest, then resolved to throw himself under the morning train unless God showed him the truth. He said a vision of the living Christ met him before dawn in December 1904. Baptised the next year, he spent his life as a wandering Christian sadhu in a saffron robe.
