Sri Swami Samarth came to Dwaraka, the holy place in Gujarath. At Dwaraka, there was a blind Saint named Soordas. He was very anxious to get ‘Darshan’ of Lord Krishna. Sri Swami Samarth went to his hermitage and called out Soordas and said “Soordas, whomever you are calling with all devotion, I am that same person standing in front of you right now”. Sri Swami touched the blind eyes of Soordas and he regained eyesight! Soordas saw standing before him, the dark blue coloured, and charming figure of Lord Krishna. He was fully satisfied. Out of awareness, he looked at the figure again and was surprised to find Sri Swami Samarth himself standing there, in place of Lord Krishna. He prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swami, and prayed “I was blind by birth. By your kind blessings, I got this divine vision. Now kindly bless me with deliverance from this cycle of birth and death”. Then Sri Swami Samarth blessed him with a boon to be a theologian.
