As per the command of Shree Swami Samarth, Shree Beedkar Maharaj started for the Narmada Parikrama. With only two short dhotees, one for wearing and other for putting on the shoulder, he started his Parikrama, from Southern river bank. “Would I come across any great yogi (sage) on the way? Would there be any miracle on the way? What is my destiny? “. With these thoughts, Shree Beedkar Maharaj reached Bharuch Gujarath State.
On his way, Shree Beedkar Maharaj, met one hot-tempered ascetic (Gosavi), who was staying on a hillock. Though Shree Beedkar Maharaj was on empty stomach for two days, the Gosavi (ascetic) sent him to fetch water in a large earthen pitcher, in the hot sun, from the river Narmada. In the extreme noon heat, with the feet burning due to hot sand and stricken by acute hunger, Shree Beedkar Maharaj started invoking the name of his preceptor, Shree Swami Samarth, and he filled up the pitcher. But due to excessive fatigue and heat, he felt giddy and fell down and the pitcher broke down. Shree Beedkar Maharaj, felt so sorry that he continued to invoke the name of his sadguru (preceptor), Shree Swami Samarth. At exactly the same time in the hermitage of Gosavi (ascetic), a miracle took place. The idol of Lord Krishna, itself grew in size and started trembling. By seeing this miracle, the Gosavi (ascetic) realized his mistake and went out in search of Shree Beedkar Maharaj and brought him to his hermitage. The Gosavi was a devotee of Lord Krishna and he believed totally in Sagunopasana (worshipping God as Form). Shree Beedkar Maharaj convinced the Gosavi that the God with attributes (Sagun) and without attributes (Nirgun) is the same, as there is only one Supreme Lord without any attributes and further he also gave the Gosavi, the secrets of meditation. He also advised the Gosavi, to give all help to the people, who come for Parikrama of the Narmada River and went ahead on his journey.
After sometime, he reached the hermitage of Fattargeerbua (Yogi) who was under a wrong impression that he himself was a great yogi. This Fattargeerbua was totally absorbed in matters like hermitage, disciple’s reverence, and ego etc. Shree Beedkar Maharaj took the unlit giant smoking pipe, which was the pride of the Fattargeerbua, and in the name of his sadguru, Shree Swami Samarth, took a deep breath and kindled the smoking pipe successfully and thereby won the confidence of the yogi. After this, Shree Beedkar Maharaj sat in deep meditation whole day, in the temple shrine of the Sadguru (preceptor) of Shree Fattargeerbua. One day, Shree Fattargeerbua got a visionary insight and after confirmation of the fact, offered his obeisance to Shree Beedkar Maharaj as a guru, just like his own sadguru. This incident shed down the ego of Shree Fattargeerbua and Shree Beedkar Maharaj gave him the advice “If you go after siddhi33, the illusion of ignorance will shield the true knowledge. Your main aim should be to keep your own mind firm and steady and under control”. So advising, Shree Beedkar Maharaj continued his journey.
