At Rishikesh, he came across one saint and Shree Beedkar Maharaj started visiting the saint regularly but he was not satisfied with the philosophy of the saint. The saint addressed Shree Beedkar Maharaj in the presence of a number of people. “You have to accept asceticism otherwise you cannot achieve anything. You are enjoying all the pleasures of your life to the utmost degree. But you are not still fit for achieving the life’s highest truth, that is, the Divine Truth”.

The sarcastic remarks of the saint touched the heart of this strong minded as well as firmly resolved Beedkar Maharaj, and he took a vow in the presence of the people present there, that he would put an end to his voluptuous life and achieve the life’s highest truth, that is, the Divine Truth and he left that place with doggedness and strong will, hoping to get the blessings from that same saint one day. But he became restless and could not think of any immediate step. Ultimately, he started worshipping his family deity, Hanuman (Monkey God) rigorously. Pleased by his strong devotion, one day, Hanuman blessed him, with a vision in a dream, advising him to go to Akkalkot to take the blessings from Shree Swami Samarth (Incarnation of Lord Dattatreya) and Shree Beedkar Maharaj left for Akkalkot, a holy place located in Solapur District, Maharashtra State.
