Muddy miracle worker

mud miracle

An Indian holy man says he can cure the sick - by persuading them to wallow in the mud with him.

Avinash Tripathi, 31, claims that immersing himself in the slime on the riverbanks in Varanasi gives him the power to heal others.

The Hindu hermit gave up a family, his home and a job as a teacher to live in the polluted mud banks of the River Ganges.

"Only by reconnecting with the rawness of nature can man find true healing," Tripathi explained.

"Any ills can be cured when people let the earth flow through them."
