In Akkalkot he put himself up in the house of Shri Appasaheb Sherkhane. He was so much determined that he took a vow not to accept any food without taking the blessings from Shree Swami Samarth. Just at that time, Shree Swami Samarth had gone to the palace of the then ruler of Akkalkot and there was no possibility of his coming out of the palace at least for the next fifteen days. Shree Beedkar Maharaj was not ready to break his vow. He carried out severe fasting for two days. In the palace, Shree Swami Samarth started uproar, saying “You are imprisoning me! My devotees are facing difficulties as they are not getting my blessings”.
So saying with an uproar, Shree Swami Samarth, jumped from the wall of the palace and came out of the palace, possibly only for the sake of Shree Beedkar Maharaj.
When Shree Beedkar Maharaj came to know about this, he took a bath and taking all the pooja sahitya18 went to Shree Swami Samarth and offered his worship and surrendered himself at the feet of Shree Swami Samarth, for his blessings. Shree Swamiji asked him “Why are you bowing at my feet?” Shree Beedkar Maharaj replied appropriately “I want a very firm foundation (I want your full blessing)”. Shree Swami Samarth pointed his finger to the deer skin and said “See there”. Shree Beedkar Maharaj did not understand properly the purpose of showing deer’s skin and said, “I am ignorant”. By hearing this, Shree Swami Samarth became very angry and started abusing Shree Beedkar Maharaj. Other devotees present there became nervous but Shree Beedkar Maharaj stood there with steadfastness and patience without getting nervous by the abuses. At the end, Swami Samarth said, “Now you go from here. Your work is done (You are blessed fully)”.
As per the orders of Shree Swami Samarth, Shree Beedkar Maharaj returned to Pune and started repeating continuously the words “Sadgururaj Mauli”19. Next year when Shree Beedkar Maharaj went to Akkalkot for taking blessings, Shree Swami Samarth said, “The seed you have sown has grown into a mango tree. Mangoes are getting ripe. When mangoes are fully ripe, your aim will be fulfilled”. After one year again (third year) Shree Beedkar Maharaj went to Akkalkot and started rendering devotional service at the feet of Shree Swami Samarth.
