A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 198 _________________________________________________________________________________________ When Tatyasaheb learned about this, he started reading the Guru-Charitra thoroughly. When this did not give him much success, he plotted a plan with the help of attendants. He thought of a deceptive plan to take Sri Swamiji in a palanquin silently to Kadar station and then further take him in a train all of a sudden to Baroda. A special train was arranged for this journey of Sri Swamiji. Tatyasaheb was very happy for victory up to this point and he proceeded towards the station. With all the security arrangements, the palanquin reached the station. Tatyasaheb came forward to receive Sri Swamiji, but to his surprise the palanquin was empty and Sri Swamiji had disappeared. The entire plan had failed. Finally, Tatyasaheb realized that nobody could take advantage of Sri Swamiji using such petty tricks. He was totally disappointed and finally returned to Baroda. Later, Maharaj delegated this task to another chieftain, Yashwantrao. When Yashwantrao came to Akkalkot, Sri Swamiji spoke with full enthusiasm, “What is this? Put shackles”. Within two days, Yashwantrao received orders to return and a court case was started against him in Baroda. He was finally punished in a court case connected to feeding poison to someone. Sri Swamiji’s words about putting shackles on Yashwantrao eventually turned out to be true. Nabab Sir Salarjung The well-known Dewan 287 Nabab Salarjung of Hyderabad State had great reverence towards Sri Swamiji. He had come to Naldurga, Osmanabad District in Maharashtra with great devotion for the ‘Darshan’ of Sri Swamiji. A number of such royal personalities were attracted towards Sri Swami Samarth. Several Sardars 288 and Jahagirdars were his devotees. Sri Swamiji was an extraordinary Divine personality with number of undefined attributes. He was not at all concerned with the wealth or grandeur of these Sardars and Jahagirdars that visited him. Sri Swamiji always had a soft heart for true devotion. If Sri Swamiji had gone to Baroda, he would have surely received great honour and prestige. Maharaja Malharao Gaikwad would have laid down his entire regime for the welcome and service of Sri Swamiji, but there was no devotion. How can Sri Swamiji, the incarnation of Lord Dattatrey go there? 287 Dewan: Prime Minister 288 Sardars: Chieftains. Generally considered very royal.

A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 199 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Swaroop Sampradaya Sri Swami Samarth Maharaj ordered his youngest and dearest disciple, Shree Ramanand Beedkar Maharaj of Pune, to propagate the Swaroop Sampradaya. Swaroop Sampradaya is a religious sect wherein the aspirant concentrates on viewing the ‘Atman’, the soul. ‘Swaroop’ means knowledge of the ‘Atman’, the soul. A living being is normally entangled in worldly illusion. To liberate a living being from the entanglement of this worldly illusion and lead him towards the knowledge of ‘Atman’, the soul is itself known as the Swaroop Sampradaya of Sri Swami Samarth. Swaroop Sampradaya is a very ancient tradition with Lord Shiva as the first Guru. Lord Shiva first initiated Goddess Parvati into Swaroop Sampradaya and later this tradition continued in history with the initiation of Lord Vishnu, Lord Brahma, Sages Vasishtha, Shukdeo and others. This tradition further continued with Guru’s such as Sri Govindpad, Sri Jagadguru AdiShankaracharya, Sri Vidyaranyaswami, SriKrishnasaraswati and Srimat Nrusimha Saraswati up to Sri Swami Samarth, the incarnation of Lord Dattatrey. ‘Swaroop Sampradaya’ is based on ‘Dnyan-yog’, the acquisition of true knowledge that leads to the attainment of absorption into the universal spirit. It represents worship of attribute-less Supreme Spirit, but also accepts the worship of a deity with attributes. The human soul attains the Supreme Spirit through the worship of a deity with attributes. This philosophy is honoured as a doctrine for the identity of human soul and the divine essence. With the kind blessings of Sri Swami Samarth, the tradition of this ‘Swaroop Sampradaya’ was passed on to Shree Ramanand Beedkar Maharaj who then blessed Shree Vasudevanant Sarswati (alias Shree Baba Maharaj Sahasrabuddhe) for further propagation of the ‘Swaroop Sampradaya’. Shree Baba Maharaj Sahasrabuddhe in turn blessed Shree Sahajanand Saraswati (Shree Vitthalrao Joshi alias Shree Digambardas Maharaj) to continue further with the Swaroop Sampradaya. Shree Digambardas Maharaj has versed - “Nrusimha Saraswati the incarnate of Lord Dattatrey (l) An idol of purity and knowledge (ll) He himself manifested as Sri Swami Samarth (l) In the city of Akkalkot (ll) Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
