A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 180 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Haribhau built a Temple of Sri Swami Samarth at Kamathipura, Mumbai and he absorbed himself in worshipping and singing hymns in the praise of Sri Swamiji. He started calling himself Swamisut. Thousands of people of all religions started coming to his Muth for his blessings. Swamisut’s fame started spreading everywhere. Later on this Muth was shifted to Kandewadi, Mumbai. Swamisut came to Akkalkot 2 to 4 times a year. Once when he reached Akkalkot, Sri Swamiji was in the Queen’s palace. They did not allow anybody to take Sri Swamiji’s ‘Darshan’. However, Swamisut was earnestly longing for the ‘Darshan’. So standing at the palace gate he started singing: “My mother, since it is your house, I have come to the door. I do not want anything! Only show me the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji!” Seeing Swamisut’s distress the Queen allowed him to take Sri Swamiji’s ‘Darshan’. Once when Swamisut had come to Akkalkot, Sri Swamiji said, “Now I am going to wind up my incarnation. You carry the flag and look after my seat”. Hearing these words Swamisut became very much displeased. He did not agree with the fact of separating forever from his Sadguru Sri Swamiji, before his very own eyes. Feeling very much offended; he went back to Mumbai and fell sick. To bring him back to Akkalkot Sri Swamiji sent Shiubai and also sent Sripad Bhat. Sri Swamiji even gave order to capture Swamisut and bring him to Akkalkot. However, Swamisut did not budge an inch from his decision. Finally Sri Swamiji got disappointed and said; “Now if he fails to come, I will blow up that cottage. I have kept ready, a battle front of cannons”. Due to the very thought of the separation from his Sadguru, which had caused him intense grief, Swamisut gave up his existence from this world. Sri Swamiji also was becoming restless doe to the separation from his son Swamisut. Later, Sri Swamiji initiated Swamisut’s younger brother Dada alias Babu and got him seated in the place of Swamisut at Mumbai. Later on, Babu became known as ‘Sachhidanand Swamikumar’.

A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 181 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Deo Mamaledar Yashwantrao Bhosekar was a mamlatdar128. When he was in Parner, he developed a strong desire to get the ‘Darshan’ and blessings of a Sadguru. He was virtuous, fully devoted, and ever desirous for a Sadguru. Sri Swami Samarth manifested Himself in his dream in an Ajanubahu 273 form and ordered Yashwantrao to come to Him for his ‘Darshan’. During those days, Sri Swamiji resided in Mangalvedha and therefore, Yashwantrao went there. When he met the great lustrous personality of Sri Swamiji, he immediately recognized that it was the same person in his dream that had blessed him with visionary intuition. He prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji and remained clinged on to his feet. Sri Swamiji placed his hand Yashwantrao’s forehead, blessed him and said “wait, I will open up your past memory”. Yashwantrao enjoyed the perception of being absorbed into the Supreme Spirit. Sri Swamiji patted Yahawantrao with love and said, “Today, you are repeating the name of god constantly. But when the past memories are revived, people themselves will start calling you as God”. Sri Swamiji blessed him and gave a Shaligram 274 . Yashwantrao later paid his obeisance by washing the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji and worshipped him before returning back to his hometown. Deo Mamaledar never compensated with truth during his service. He tried to experience the presence of God in every human being, right from a peon up to an officer and further even up to the level of a prisoner. He always maintained his family within the small limited income he earned. Sometimes he borrowed money, but he never accepted any bribe. Four children took birth in his family but each child died within a period of three months. He consoled himself and his family saying that God granted these children in his family and took them all away too. He always helped beggars, saints, mendicants, helpless women as well as children who came to his door as if they were his own. While going to work, if he ever saw any hungry person he would immediately arrange for their food. Similarly, if he met any sick person, he would arrange for their medicines. If he saw any unclaimed body lying on the streets, he would immediately arrange for the funeral of that body by spending money from his own pocket. If he ever found any cart-man beating up his bulls, he would go for their rescue and say, “Do not beat God”. His heart was filled with boundless compassion. Once he was the taluka Magistrate of Satana near Nasik. During the year 1870-71, there was dreadful famine in Satana. The animals started to die of hunger. People started becoming restless through pain and dehydration. In that situation, Deo Mamaledar sold all the gold ornaments as well as costly 273 Ajanubahu: One with long arms that reach upto the knees 274 Shaligram: A black stone worshipped as God Vishnu Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
