Snake Bite

Once Sri Swami went along with his devotees to a nearby village called Idagi and took a halt in a Maruti Mandir [1]. There was a devotee of Sri Swami by name Ravanna. A snake bit him while working in his field. Unfortunately he died due to the snakebite. The people of the village brought his dead body to Sri Swami. A servant of Sri Swami, Baba Saheb Jadhav, placed Sri Swamiji’s shoes on dead Ravanna’s head. Seeing this, Sri Swami got very angry and started throwing abuses at Baba Saheb. Finally Sri Swami asked Baba Saheb to loudly call on Ravanna by his name. As soon as Baba Saheb called his name Ravanna woke up and sat, to the great surprise of onlookers.
