A Cripple From Hanumandhari

Before his manifestation in Mangalvedha in Solapur District, Maharashtra, Sri Swami Samarth, while roaming from place to place, passed through holy places like Dwaraka and Girnar in Gujarath and finally reached a place called Hanumandhari. There a crippled person got the Divine Darshan of Sri Swamiji. He started thinking of Sri Swamiji “He is certainly some incarnated person. I have never come across a great personage like him till now. Being crippled, I am unable to go near this great personage. Oh! Lord! You are always merciful to the poor and very kind to the devotees. I pray to you to kindly walk up to here and allow me to take ’Darshan’ of your lotus feet and get blessed”.

The crippled person, out of distress, started rolling on the ground and blaming his fate for being unable to walk up to Sri Swamiji. Omniscient Sri Swamiji came to know from a distance and he spoke to the crippled person “You crippled person, close your eyes. Do not look back and come walking here fearlessly”. On the orders of Sri Swamiji, the crippled person became spellbound; he stood up and started walking till he reached Sri Swamiji. Then he prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji and washed Sri Swamiji’s feet with his tears of joy. By the kind grace of Sri Swamiji he was able to walk. He took the ‘Divine Darshan’ of Sri Swamiji and became fully satisfied by accomplishing his object.

Jagannath rao

Jagannathrao from Mumbai had become crippled due to an injury he had suffered on his leg. In order to move around he had to sit on the shoulders of a servant and get going. He came to Akkalkot. As he took Sri Swamiji’s ‘Darshan’ bandages on his legs dropped automatically. Then he started drinking the water, which was used to wash the lotus feet of Sri Swamiji. Within a few days his injury was completely healed. Then he collected the Padukas of Sri Swamiji and returned to Mumbai. Those doctors who had advised Jagannathrao to cut his legs off were highly amazed seeing this miracle.
