A Short Biography of <strong>Shree</strong> <strong>Swami</strong> <strong>Samarth</strong> 80<br />
_________________________________________________________________________________________<br />
he understood that Sri <strong>Swami</strong> is very angry with him. But, what is the reason for his<br />
anger?<br />
One day Sri <strong>Swami</strong> himself went to Bambgard Saheb’s bungalow. Seeing Sri<br />
<strong>Swami</strong> Bambgard stood up. He gave a chair to Sri <strong>Swami</strong> and then offered his<br />
salutation. Sri <strong>Swami</strong> passed on a volley of abuse and said “you fool, first you kick me<br />
and then ask me only for the medicine for your injury? ”. Then the Saheb realised that<br />
Sri <strong>Swami</strong> is very angry with him since he had kicked Kondoo Nana. He then prostrated<br />
at the lotus feet of Sri <strong>Swami</strong> and prayed “Please forgive me and suggest me a remedial<br />
treatment. I have undergone enough sufferings till now”. Hearing his prayers Sri <strong>Swami</strong><br />
got softened with pity and said, “Now go, crush the root of aloo vegetable in the water<br />
used for washing rice. Then drink that water and also apply it on leg injury”. With this<br />
treatment Saheb was totally cured of his injury and he became perfectly normal.<br />
Bhosle’s Wife<br />
Appasaheb Bhosle’s wife, a resident of Sawantwadi in Sindhudurg District,<br />
Maharashtra, developed injuries due to disease resulting in 8 to 10 holes in her leg. In<br />
spite of taking all remedial measures there was no relief. Then the Bhosle couple along<br />
with 8-10 people came to Akkalkot. After coming to Akkalkot they came to know that<br />
Sri <strong>Swami</strong> had gone to Wakdari hill. It was hot summer midday and they hadn’t eaten<br />
anything yet, still they went up the hill to take Sri <strong>Swami</strong>ji’s ‘Darshan’. Then Sri <strong>Swami</strong><br />
said, “To give you ‘Darshan’ only I have come so far”.<br />
Bhosle offered dhotees 148 , bed and pillows, and koupeen 149 to Sri <strong>Swami</strong>. Then<br />
Bhosle informed Sri <strong>Swami</strong> regarding the holes in his wife’s leg. Sri <strong>Swami</strong> gave abuses<br />
and spoke to the lady “come here. How many holes are there in your leg? This is all the<br />
outcome of evil deeds in the past life. You have tried all the remedial treatments and<br />
you are fed up. Now you try this treatment”. There was a Kunda flower 150 plant. Sri<br />
<strong>Swami</strong> touched that tree and said, “Rub the fruit of this Kunda plant into a paste and<br />
eat it. Then rub elephant tusk into a paste and apply it to the holes on your leg”.<br />
Sri <strong>Swami</strong> gave prasad of mango and coconut to the Bhosle couple, and then he<br />
got up and went to the cactus hill to sit. Sri <strong>Swami</strong> asked the Bhosle couple to go and<br />
take meals. Next day, Sri <strong>Swami</strong> returned to Akkalkot from the hill. Bhosle couple<br />
returned home after taking the blessings of Sri <strong>Swami</strong>. The hole injuries got cured<br />
completely. The couple developed such a faith for Sri <strong>Swami</strong> that they started visiting<br />
Akkalkot very often to get the blessings of Sri <strong>Swami</strong>.<br />
