A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 219 _________________________________________________________________________________________ The Tradition Of Sawarde- Dervan Gopalbua Kelkar Alias Preetinand Swamikumar Sri Swamiji had ordered his virtuous disciple ‘Haribhau alias Swamisut’ to hoist the devotional flag of Sri Swami Samarth along a seacoast. Following his orders, Swamisut erected a temple of Sri Swami Samarth at Kandewadi, Mumbai (Seaside near Girgaon, Mumbai) and spread the spiritual teachings of Sri Swami Samarth. Eventually, he selected a second seaside place at Chiplun, Ratnagiri District in Maharashtra. He had sent Sri Swamiji’s ‘Padukas’ (Foot prints) to Chiplun in the year 1873 through Brahmachari Buwa. Bua then handed over these ‘Padukas’ to a teacher and mentioned, “Our man will come and look after these later. Until then you worship these ‘Padukas’ of Sri Swamiji”. According to the predetermined arrangements, Gopalbua Kelkar erected a temple on the banks of Markandi River in Chiplun to hoist the devotional flag of Sri Swami Samarth. Gopalbua, Gopal Ramchandra Kelkar, was born in the year 1847 AD at Korle village near Rajapur Taluka, Ratnagiri District in Maharashtra. His poor living conditions only helped him study up to English third standard and therefore, he later joined the Railway Department. Due to his hard work and expertise, he soon became the Station Master and was transferred to Nagpur. There he suffered from dropsy, a stomach disorder. He had severe stomachaches and no remedy could give him any relief. The doctor advised him to go for a climate change and hence he resigned from his service and returned home. He was so frustrated with the severe stomach pain that he finally gave up and called upon God for help, “Whoever is the God of this world, if I am cured of this severe stomach pain then except for God, I shall not render service to anybody else throughout my life”. It was a great wonder that within eight days of this keen prayer, he started getting relief from the severe pain. He then decided to go to Akkalkot and get the blessings of Sri Swami Samarth, but he had no money. By lying to his family members, he somehow managed to reach Akkalkot. He only had five paise with him at that time. With that money, he purchased two dried dates and visited the shelter of Sri Swamiji. As soon as he was graced with the blessings of Sri Swamiji, he lost his consciousness. He stayed in Akkalkot living on food provided by people and continued rendering service to Sri Swami Samarth. Once Sri Swamiji appeared in his dream, touched his stomach with his hands and said, “I shall cure your illness”. Gopalbua suddenly woke up from his dream.
