A Chinese Couple

When Sri Swami Samarth manifested in Himalayan Region, during the same time a Chinese couple had come there in search of herbal medicines. They saw the ajanubahu [1] personality of Sri Swami Samarth. However, ignoring Sri Swami the couple remained busy in their own activities. Due to the beautiful natural surroundings they couple became possessed by lust and started flirting with each other without any regard to the presence of Shree Swami Samarth. Watching this strong sexually desirous activity of the couple, Sri Swami Samarth became very angry and taught them a lesson. Due to Sri Swami Samarth’s displeasure over this indecent behaviour, the Chinese man got transformed to a woman and the Chinese woman into a man. Seeing this sudden transformation the couple got humiliated and they panicked. They realised that this transformation had taken place due to the displeasure of the ascetic who was present there. They then prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swami and prayed for forgiveness. Then Sri Swami explained the couple regarding the ill effects of lustful desires and advised them to conquer them instead.

Later on, Sri Swami blessed the couple with kind grace, which transformed both to their original forms. Finally, the Chinese couple returned happily to their country.
