A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 72 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Alavani Buva Gets ‘Darshan’ of Sri Swami Samarth At Puri Alavani Buva of Baroda in Gujarath had gone with some people to Jagannath Puri, a holy place in Orissa. There, all these people fell sick because of fever. They were rendered immobile due to weakness. They were even unable to bring food from the market. Unexpectedly Sri Swami Samarth came and stood before Alavani Buva. Seeing the splendour and Divinity of Shree Swami Samarth, Alavani Buva offered his obeisance. Then offering his praises to Sri Swami, he asked, “Maharaj, where do you live? ”. Maharaj replied, “All the places belong to me”. So saying, Sri Swami vanished from that place. Alavani Buva and his companions were amazed at this experience. Later, they saw sumptuous food served on leaf-plates placed for them. They all enjoyed the sumptuous food. They resumed their journey as soon as their health recovered. Finally they all reached Akkalkot in Solapur, Maharashtra. After taking ‘Darshan’ of Sri Swami Samarth, they all remembered that, the great man, who helped them with sumptuous food at Jagannath Puri, was none other than Sri Swami Samarth himself. Arrival in Akkalkot In this manner, after departing from Kadalivan110, Sri Swami spent long period of time deep meditation. Later he went on a pilgrimage and performed numerous miracles and then sometime during the year 1838, he manifested himself at Mangalvedha, Solapur in Maharashtra. Sri Swami remained at Mangalvedha, for about twelve years, but stayed away from the public and in a desolate place. In this village there was a pastureland of a person by name Patvardhan, where Sri Swami normally would stay. Whenever he entered the village he would go and sit in a dirty place. Seeing this, some would call him Digambar-bua 141 and some others would name him Veda-bua 142 . He would perform a number of miracles, just for pleasure, which made people offer their devotion towards Him. One day all of a sudden, he left Mangalvedha and went to a nearby village, Mohol. After passing sometime in Mohol, during the year 1854-55, he came to Solapur. At Solapur there was a gentleman by name Chintopant Appa Tol who became a devotee of Sri Swami. Chintopant was a Mamlatdar128 of the British Regime and he was a pensioner. He was appointed in Akkalkot State. Only due to the invitation of Tol Sri Swami Samarth came to Akkalkot during the year 1856 and later on remained there till he took Mahasamadhi 143 . This is the reason he came to be known as Sri Akkalkot Swami or Akkalkotniwasi Sri Swami Samarth. 141 Digambar Bua: Naked Man 142 Veda Bua: Crazy Man 143 Mahasamadhi: Last conscious communion with God. Fully accomplished yogis have been said to consciously leave their bodies at their WILL and merge effortlessly into the transcendental Divine Bliss or the Supreme spirit.

A Short Biography of Shree Swami Samarth 73 _________________________________________________________________________________________ In Mangalvedha Sri Swami Samarth stayed for quite a long period but he had maintained less relations with the public. Therefore only a few miracles were performed there. In Mohol and Solapur too he stayed for a little period. There also, very few miracles were performed. Then Sri Swami Samarth stayed for quite a long period in Akkalkot and he had transformed that land in to land of his miracles and in to a holy place of pilgrimage. Nobody knows accurately about the numerous miracles performed by Sri Swami in Akkalkot. Only those miracles, which have been told, written, and heard are available for the benefit of the devotees. Sri Swami got rid of the sufferings of afflicted people and uplifted poor people from poverty. People who had desire for knowledge were given proper advice. He had one important aim, to liberate people from suffering due to their ill fate, give them all happiness, and then lead them towards life’s highest objective of divine truth. The very remembrance of the miracles of Sri Swami leads a man towards devotional life. Copyright © 2006 Shree Vitthalrao Joshi Charities Trust
