A short biography of Shree Sadguru Ramanand Beedkar Maharaj

The most ardent disciple of
Akkalkot Niwasi Shree Swami Samarth.

“Why me alone, I can take you with me and jump down”

Afterwards, Shree Beedkar Maharaj went to Saptashringee hill where the temple of Goddess Saptashringee is located. There he met his fellow student a great yogi who had attained perfection, Shree Sadanand Swamy. On the eastern side of the Saptashringee hill, there was a frightful broken cliff (a high steep rock) located on a great height and called as sheetkhada. It was an existent custom that to avert a great calamity in one’s life, one takes a vow to jump down, risking one’s life, from this frightful cliff. Shree Sadanand Swamy while chit-chatting, asked Shree Beedkar Maharaj “Would you be able to jump down from this cliff?” Shree Beedkar Maharaj replied “Why me alone, I can take you with me and jump down.” By saying so, Shree Beedkar Maharaj grasped the hand of Shree Sadanand Swamy and jumped down from the cliff. It was safely done except for the minor sprain, in their legs. Shree Sadanand Swamy remarked “I was totally insignificant before you.”
