From Soldier to Sadhu: Mangal Bharti's Remarkable Journey After Two Wars

• Mangal Bharti, a former soldier from Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh, fought in the 1962 (China) and 1965 (Pakistan) wars.
• He served in the Indian Army for 21 years, retiring as a Subedar.
• During his posting near Haridwar, he was deeply influenced by saints and decided to become a monk after retirement.
