Sriguru’s fame spread in all directions. Devotees from all villages started coming to take Sriguru’s ‘Darshan’. By then Diwali^[1] festival came around the corner. One day, seven devotees belonging to seven different villages came to Ganagapur and with devotion requested Sriguru to visit their homes on Diwali day for refreshment. They started quarrelling among themselves with individual confidence, that each one was sure of taking Sriguru to only his house, for Diwali festival. Then Sriguru told them, “I am alone, and you are seven individuals. How can I go to seven different houses at the same time? You decide one house and I will certainly come there”. However, each one was insisting separately for his gracious presence. So they started quarrelling between themselves.

Finally Sriguru asked them to sit a bit further away from him. Aware of their devotional feelings, Sriguru did not want to displease any one of them. Therefore, he called each person separately near him and said, “I will come to only your house. Now go home and start preparations. But do not inform anyone else about this”. The seven devotees became very happy and went home. However, the disciples of the Muth were displeased to know that on Diwali day Sriguru will leave them all and go to another village. They all prayed and insisted Sriguru to grace the Diwali day by his presence in the Muth. Sriguru told them “Okay, On Diwali day, I will remain here in the Muth along with you all”.

On Diwali day, Sriguru took eight different forms, remained present in eight different places concurrently, and celebrated Diwali day. Everybody felt separately happy with the assumption that Sriguru graced the Diwali day with them due to their individual insistence. After a few days, on the Kartik Poornima^[2] Day all the disciples came to the Ganagapur Muth. All those seven devotees started saying “On Diwali day, Sriguru was present in our house only. He did not go to any other place”. Then Sriguru spoke “Whatever all these devotees say, is true. I was personally present at all these places simultaneously. For the happiness of all these devotees I had to take eight forms”. Noting this divine miraculous play of Sriguru, the devotion of the devotees towards Sriguru started increasing.
