He treated Muslims, Christians and Parsees all alike. The ordinary people did not understand many of his gestures and mystic statements, which he used to make cryptically, although their meanings became apparent on later dates.

Soon, the name of Swami Samarth as a Spiritual Master spread all around and devotees came for taking his blessings. It is in this small house that Swami Samarth lived upto his last. Realising him to be an advanced spiritual person, the Risaldar apologised and made arrangements for his stay in the house of one Cholappa. Swami Samarth started smoking the empty Chilum after lighting it as if nothing had happened. The Risaldar of that area, a Muslim person, wanted to test the Swami by offering him a ‘Chilum’ (an earthen smoking pipe) without tobacco in it and asked him to smoke. What we call miracles are the normal ways of functioning of the God realised ones. He came to Akkalkot on the invitation of one Chintopant Tol and stayed at a place on the outskirts of the town. He came to Akkalkot in 1856 where he continued his physical existence for 22 years. He also stayed at Mangalvedha, a town near Pandharpur in Solapur district Maharashtra, which had been inhabited earlier by famous saints like Domojipant and Chokhamela. Thereafter, he visited places like Puri, Benaras, Hardwar, Girnar, Kathiawad and Rameswaram in the South. While moving in the Himalayan region he visited China. Prior to his settlement at Akkalkot, Swami Samarth visited far and wide. This Yogi, in his new role came to be known as Swami Samarth. The Yogi slowly opened his eyes and consoled the dumbfounded woodcutter saying that it was the Divine Will for Him to re-appear in the world to resume His mission. He cleared the anthill and Lo, he found a Yogi in meditation. He was shocked to find blood stains on the blade of the axe. One day accidentally a woodcutter’s axe fell on the bushes grown around the ant hill. With the passage of time a huge anthill grew over him and he was lost to the outside world. In the Samadhi state He remained for about three hundred years. As per the most popular belief, Shri Narasimha Swami, after helping and spiritually uplifting a large number of people over a few decades, went away to the Himalayas for penance and went into Samadhi. The ‘Guru Charitra’ one of the most famous books gives lot of information about Him. Shri Narasimha Saraswati, about three centuries before the advent of Swami Samarth is believed to be the earlier incarnation of Shri Dattatreya. How does it matter if Christ was born of a virgin mother! He took the pain of the suffering humanity and led them in the path of spirituality. Yet it does not really matter for those who have faith in Him and continue to experience his benevolence in different ways. For that matter, even Shri Shirdi Sai Baba’s advent and early life has not been established. The early life of Swami Samarth like that of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba is shrouded with mystery.

Just before Mahasamadhi, Swami Samrath advised one of his disciples to worship Shri Sai at Shirdi saying that he (the Swami Samarth) would stay at Shirdi in future. Many published writings on both these Saints by different writers authenticate about the interaction between these two Sadgurus both in the gross, and the subtle planes.

The reality is that Swami Samarth and Shri Shirdi Sai Baba were the manifestations of the same Divine Spirit in two gross bodies. One, who is capable of making finer spiritual analysis, would be faced with a bewildering reality. Even a critical approach by a non-conformist would ultimately lead to the assertion that the over-all role of these two spiritual masters during the second half of the nineteenth century was similar, if not same. Swami Samarth and Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi would establish a surprising amount of commonness in their lives and deeds which includes their methods of teaching, the universality of their approach and the miracles they performed. A comparative picturisation of the lives of these two great Saints, i.e. As this Perfect Master chose to reside at a place called Akkalkot for 22 years where he took Mahasamadhi (left his mortal body) in 1878, he is also known as the Maharaj of Akkalkot, Akkalkot is situated in district Solapur of Maharashtra state of India.įor the devotees of Shri Shirdi Sai Baba, it would be inspiring to learn about the life and deeds of ‘Swami Samarth’. Believed to be an incarnation of Shri Dattatreya the name of this spiritual master, popularly called Swami Samarth, is a household word in Maharashtra and the region around.
