Even after his samadhi, Lord Sripad Srivallabh has manifested himself and performed many miracles. There was a Brahmin named Vallabhesh from Karnataka State. He travelled across villages for the sake of his business. Whatever profit he made from his business, he considered it as blessings of his Guru and spend it to offer food to the Brahmins and other needy people. Once he vowed that if he gets abundant profit that year, he would celebrate a festival for three days at the samadhi place of Lord Sripad Srivallabh.
That year, Vallabhesh gained hundred times more profit in his business. He thought of going to Kuravpur for celebrating the festival and giving a feast to the mendicants. The news spread in the village of Kuravpur. There were three dacoits in that village that planned to loot Vallabhesh on his way to the village. When Vallabhesh started for Kuravpur with all the material required for the festival, the dacoits accompanied him in disguise of travellers. Vallabhesh trusted these travellers not knowing their true identity. On their long journey, when they halted at a place, the dacoits cut off Vallabhesh’s head and went away with the loot. At the time of his death, Vallabhesh had mentally recited the name of Lord Sripad Srivallabh. Lord Sripad, who is worthy of remembrance, ran out to help his devotee with his Trishul[1] and Sword and killed two dacoits. The third dacoit was a kind person. Hence Lord Sripad puffed up some sacred ash through the third dacoit on Vallabhesh and brought him back to life before disappearing. When Vallabhesh came to life, the kind dacoit told him the real facts. Hearing the true incident Vallabhesh became very unhappy since he did not get the Divine sight of Lord Sripad. Thrilled with this experience of Divine favour, he reached Kuravpur, celebrated the festival with great pomp and gave a feast to all.
Even today, thousands of devotees experience the Divine grace of Lord Sripad Srivallabh.
