After the disappearance of his elder bother, Shree Beedkar Maharaj had to shoulder all the responsibilities of the family. Since he was not earning enough money by doing some small jobs in the local Court, he took some loan and started money lending business. Due to the shortage of funds he left this business and started working in a perfume shop. There he learnt a lot about the perfumes. Based on his ingenuity, hard work, patience and firmness he started his own perfume business as well as money lending business and his fate and good fortune supported him fully.
Once he purchased old copper and brass vessels, belonging to the old mansions of Peshwas, for only Rs.150/-. By his great fortune, he got one Samai11 made of Gold containing diamonds and rubies in the hollow portion of the Samai.
In spite of getting so much of wealth he did not give up his business. He had a remarkable gift of examining precious stones. For business purpose he had toured the entire Maharashtra and this increased his versatility and shrewdness. He used to normally wear clean and attractive dress like a costly upper jacket, silk kerchief bordered with gold thread work covering the head, ear adorned with ear ornaments, silk dhotee, silk upper garment (loosely worn) and Puneri Shoes12.
Such an attractive dress normally worn by Shree Beedkar Maharaj along with his sweet and penetrating speech, not only used to enliven his impressive personality but also used to create a striking impression on others. His business was normally with wealthy people and he used to get enough profit and at the same time get acquainted with rich people.
Shree Beedkar Maharaj was a great devotee of Hanuman13. On account of his firm faith in the Hindu religion, he used to carry on properly all the family duties and traditions, festivals, ceremonial dinners to the Brahmins14 and loud recital of Vedic hymns. Shree Beedkar Maharaj had an excellent art of maintaining oneness amongst all his relatives and family members. He had also a fine taste in purchasing the best of the things as well as rare articles. He was very careful to see that all these best of the things & rare articles should be available to all his family members. As per him, the greediness and the jealousy were the basic cause of any family feud. Shree Beedkar Maharaj used to advise everybody that the angry passions of the relatives always would sow the seed for sorrow in the family.
It would be a great surprise if such an ingenious person were not dear to his mother. Even Shree Beedkar Maharaj was devoted to his mother to the utmost degree. He always used to say that “you would be successful in all your works provided you keep your parents happy”.
