Vinchurkar

In the then state of Akkalkot, there was a regent by name Madhavrao Dadasaheb Vinchurkar (A regent is a person who rules when the regular ruler is absent or unfit). He was a great devotee of Sri Swami. Sri Swami would visit Vinchurkar’s house every now and then. On every visit Vinchurkar would render great devotional service to Sri Swami. Once, a white spot (leucoderma) appeared on the thigh of Vinchurkar. He became very nervous and started worrying with the very thought that this white spot should not spread to other parts of his body.

Once, when Vinchurkar observed that Sri Swami was in a jolly mood, he offered his prayers to get him rid of the white spot. Sri Swami asked, “What is the spot called as? ”. Vinchurkar replied, “It is called as white spot”. Sri Swami asked him “What is that on your finger? ”. Vinchurkar replied, “Ring”. “What type of stone are you wearing on that ring? ”. Vinchurkar replied “White stone”. Sri Swami asked Vinchurkar to throw away the white stone ring. Then Vinchurkar got rid of the ring from his finger and put it on Sri Swamiji’s finger. Few days later the white spot on Vinchurkar’s thigh disappeared completely.

Lalsaheb

A North Indian Brahmin by name Lalsaheb worked as a servant in the then State of Hyderabad, South India. He suffered from white spot (leucoderma), so he was very worried. Acting on someone’s suggestion he started performing religious ceremonials in the temple of Lord Venkatesh at Alawal. Lord Venkatesh’s temple was famous for devotee’s prayers getting answered ( Jagruth Daivat ). However, there was no result. So he returned to Hyderbad. One night in Hyderabad, he got a vision in his dream that one beautiful cow climbed the staircase of his house and went up to the top floor. When Lalsaheb went running to beat the cow, he saw a lustrous ‘Yogi’ wearing red-ochre colour costume, following the cow. Lalsaheb asked that Yogi “Who are you? To who does this cow belong? The door was closed, still how did the cow climb the stairs and come up? ”. Then the lustrous Yogi spoke “This cow belongs to me. I am residing either at, Ganagapur or Solapur (both in Maharashtra). Nobody can stop us. Whenever and wherever required we show ourselves in this manifested or obscure forms”.

Finally Lalsaheb woke up from his dream. The next day he met a gentleman who advised him to go to Akkalkot and take the blessings of Sri Swami Samarth. Therefore, Lalasahed left for Akkalkot. After reaching Akkalkot he was surprised to find the same lustrous Yogi wearing red-ochre colour costume and his beautiful cow as he had seen before in his vision. Seeing this miracle he prostrated at the lotus feet of Sri Swami Samarth. Then Sri Swami spoke “Oh! You were trying to beat my cow. Are you so much intoxicated and rude? ”. Lalsaheb repented for what he had done in his dream. Sri Swami ordered him to feed street dogs. Lalsaheb remained at Akkalkot and started feeding dogs. Then within few days itself all the white spots on his body disappeared and he was completely cured of leucoderma. He became ecstatic and he returned home.

Thakurdas

There was a saint named ThakurdasBbaba alias ShreeKrishnaBaba in Mumbai who built a temple of Sri Swami Samarth. He was a devotee of Lord Dattatreya. He would always sing devotional songs from within his heart in the temple. Due to great misfortune he contracted leucodermia and white spots covered his entire body. One day Sri Swami took a burning wood from the fireplace and threw it towards Babaji. Babaji rubbed the firewood in to powder, then he added holy ash to it and then applied the mixture on his white spots. Within just a few days, all the white spots on his body disappeared completely.
