A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 156 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Even today at Sangli, in the Muth of Saint Kotnis Maharaj Sri Swamiji is being worshipped in the form of Goddess Mahalaxmi. Darshan Of Goddess Aadimaya (Goddess Parvati) Nana Rekhi of Ahmadnagar, Maharashtra, was a favoured disciple of Sri Swamiji. He was a great astrologer. He had prepared the horoscope of Sri Swamiji. Sri Swamiji personally had given him the approval for the same. Sri Swamiji also gave him Atmalinga. Nana Rekhi installed the Padukas of Sri Swamiji and built a Muth in Ahmadnagar. During the construction of the Muth, Rekhi faced a big calamity. Sri Swamiji appeared himself manifested in the form of Goddess Parvati and warded off the calamity. This way Sri Swamiji blessed supreme bliss to a number of devotees by gracing them with the ‘Darshan’ of their favourite Ishta devata (tutelary deity) and made them experience the fact that the Supreme Being is only ONE in this universe. As per one’s devotion a person desires the ‘Darshan’ of one’s favourite form of God and then attain supreme bliss. God always graces a devotee and appears in the divine form most favourite to him.

A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 157 _________________________________________________________________________________________ God, You Are the Supreme Spirit God is present in the heart of every living being in the form of Supreme Spirit. Saint Kabirdas has said “Your God is always present in you, just like a flower always carries fragrance with it”. In this form of Supreme Spirit God keeps under observation the condition, activity, and constitution of every living being. He is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient. By his endless miraculous works Sri Swami Samarth Maharaj, the incarnation of Lord Dattatreya, has displayed that HE dwells in the heart of every being as a Supreme Spirit. Chintopant Tol’s Worry Sri Swamiji started his journey from Mohol village and reached Solapur. One day Sri Swamiji was sitting in a naked condition in one of temples at Solapur. When Chintopant Tol came to the temple for the temple deity’s ‘Darshan’ , he saw Sri Swamiji sitting there. Observing the divine form of Sri Swamiji a thought came to his mind, “May be or may not be, but he surely does appear like a saint”. Omniscient Sri Swamiji came to know what Tol was thinking and he spoke “Whether I am a saint or not, in what way are you concerned with it? Mind your own business”. Hearing these words, Tol was taken aback. He prostrated at the feet of Sri Swamiji, implored humbly, and brought him home to offer food. From then on, Sri Swamiji from time to time would visit Tol’s house. Once, Sri Swamiji had been Tol house. At that time, a doubt arose in Tol’s mind “Sri Swamiji takes food anywhere, anyplace. It is not fair to arrange his seat in our row. It is better to serve food to him in a different place”. Meanwhile Sri Swamiji spoke out “Doubt has arisen in your mind. So I shall not take food in your house”. So saying he started to leave Tol’s house. Tol regretted thinking this way. He implored humbly, prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji, and prayed for forgiveness. He then offered a seat to Sri Swamiji in his own row with full devotion and served food. Yog-Nidra One evening in Solapur Sri Swamiji went to Ganapatrao Joshi’s house. Govindrao Tol accompanied him. After the meals, Joshi arranged a bed for Sri Swamiji to sleep on. Shortly, Sri Swamiji went in deep sleep and started snoring. Govindrao thought that Sri Swamiji in spite of being a great Yogi snores like an ordinary person. It is the dictum of Bhagavad-Gita that when all created living beings sleep during the night only the ascetic remains awake throughout. In the meanwhile Sri Swamiji started coughing and spoke to Tol “You goldsmith, it is not so, as you thought”. Joshi and Tol both realised that Sri Swamiji had not slept but was deeply absorbed in meditative contemplation. Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
