In the holy place called Haridwar in Uttar Pradesh, there were two Brahmins. They were very strong. They became highly intoxicated with arrogance due to their strength. They would find pleasure in committing evil deeds like killing people after robbing them, and slandering saintly people. None was able to stop them from evil activities. Eventually due to these evil activities they started suffering from Leprosy. Their fingers and feet started rotting. Their families abandoned them. They started begging on the street repenting their evil acts.

But they still had a bit of good merit left from their past life, due to which they got an opportunity of getting Sri Swami Samarth’s ‘Darshan’. They both surrendered to Sri Swami and begged for pardon for their evil deeds. It was due to their past life’s merit Sri Swami showered his kind grace on them. He touched their bodies by his lotus feet, which brought down the pain they suffered. Then Sri Swami told them “Now you can go, abandon your arrogance, egotism, self-conceit and spend your life in the constant repetition of my name. Then you will regain your happiness”. By the kind blessings of Sri Swami, the Brahmins regained good health and happiness.
