A Short Biography of <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Samarth</strong> 216<br />
_________________________________________________________________________________________<br />
Expansion Of The Sampradaya<br />
Before his Mahasamadhi,<br />
<strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Maharaj</strong> had consoled<br />
his disciples and devotees by<br />
saying, “Even after<br />
departing from this world I<br />
will be around and act via<br />
Ashok (<strong>Shree</strong> Ashok Joshi-<br />
Kaka<strong>Maharaj</strong>)”.<br />
He had also clearly said,<br />
“Ashok is my son. Ashok will<br />
continue the propagation of<br />
Swaroop Sampradaya and<br />
the public welfare activities<br />
further. Infact, I will myself<br />
perform all the activities<br />
through Ashok”.<br />
Thus, the responsibility of the preceptor to continue the tradition of a Sadguru<br />
has come upon the shoulders of <strong>Shree</strong> Ashok Joshi alias Kaka <strong>Maharaj</strong> and he is<br />
accomplishing the same skilfully.<br />
<strong>Shree</strong> Digambardas <strong>Maharaj</strong> constructed the <strong>Shree</strong> Shiv-<strong>Samarth</strong> Gad (fortress)<br />
and the temple-shrine of <strong>Shree</strong> Seetarambua at Dervan. Now <strong>Shree</strong> Ashok Kaka<br />
<strong>Maharaj</strong> has been able to bring into reality the resolves of <strong>Shree</strong> Digambardas <strong>Maharaj</strong><br />
for Divine service, National service and public service. He has been successful in these<br />
ventures with untiring efforts & hard labour along with the cooperation of disciples and<br />
devotees like the late <strong>Shree</strong> Kamalakarpant. L Walawalkar Saheb, <strong>Shree</strong> Vikas<br />
K.Walawalkar Saheb, <strong>Shree</strong> Prasad Tendulkar, <strong>Shree</strong> Balasaheb Kajarekar, <strong>Shree</strong><br />
Madhavrao Mule and the rest. The various activities have continued up to date and the<br />
various resolves of Sadguru <strong>Shree</strong> Digambardas <strong>Maharaj</strong> that were already completed<br />
or in progress have been well taken care of under the active guidance of <strong>Shree</strong> Ashok<br />
Kaka <strong>Maharaj</strong>. Some of these resolves are as follows:<br />
