Shree Swami Samarth at Rameshwaram


Om Jai Sai Ram! It is only by the grace of Sadguru that one get's to hear his leelas and to sing them. Lord Dattatreya's ways are unfathomable, and what can a dullard like me understand or talk about them. However when I submit the ego before the lotus feet of Sriguru, he himself takes up the task of relating his life story, for I am merely an instrument in his hands.Victory be unto the Sadguru. Let me now relate a leela of Shree Swami Samartha Maharaj of Akkalkot, the glorious incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. He the purest of the pure, I beseech him to help me sing his glory.

That Rameshwaram is holy, is accepted beyond doubt. It was here that Lord Rama established the twelfth Jyotirlinga (Linga of Light) for worshipping Lord Shiva. The foremost of the Ragu's made this a holy place of Pilgrimage as the sands of this place kissed his lotus feet.

The worshipper at Rameshwaram used to extort money from piligrims for them to take bath in the holy Koti Khoop Tirtha. This was resented by some.

To test him, came none other than Lord Dattatreya in the form of Shree Swami Samarth Maharaj. However the greedy worshipper did not recognize the true divinity of Swami Maharaj and refused to let him into the Koti khoop tirtha without money. To this the Lord smiled and went away.

Later the worshipper to his dismay found foul smelling worms in the waters. Quite perplexed by the incident, he went to the then Shankaracharya of Sringeri. The great Jagadguru went into Samadhi and told the worshipper, he had not allowed an ascetic who was none other than an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya.

The remourseful worshipper, went and fell at the lotus feet of Swami Maharaj and allowed him inside the waters. The waters retained their purity, no more were the worms to be seen.

Such is the greatness of Lord Dattatreya, the purest of pure. All things are rendered pure, but by his grace.

Om Shree Swami Samarth Maharaj Ki Jai!

Om Shree Sainath Maharaj Ki Jai!

Avadhuta Chintana Shree Gurudeva Datta! Shree Gurudeva Datta! Shree Gurudeva Datta!

Om Shree Ganeshaya Namaha! Shree Saraswatyai Namaha! Shree Kuladevatyai Namaha! Om Shree Sainaathaya Namaha! Om Shree Swami Samarthaaya Namaha! Verily we must have firm faith in the lotus feet of the Sadguru. For why else are we his devotees. We must surrender completely to him and think always that he knows best. His powers are immesurable and he is the lord and indweller of one and all. He is the Parabrahma of the Vedas and the Allah of the Koran. While describing him, the Vedas merely said "Neti Neti" (Not this, Not this). What then is the way for me? Is it not haughty of me to think I can describe his glory? I cannot, and all I can ever do is submit my ego before his lotus feet. By submitting my speech,hearing and all senses to him. When this is done, he alone will get the work done through the devotee who earnestly wishes to sing his glory. I pray to Sadguru Sainath to help me, nay to use me as an instrument and describe his boundless glory. Sometimes we are overwhelme...

||Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha||    ||Om Shree Saraswatyay Namaha||        ||Om Shree Gurave Namaha||    ||Om Shree Kuladevatyay Namaha||    Om Jai Sairam! Blessed are those who resort to the feet of the Sadguru.The Sadguru protects us like a mother. His attention is ever on his children and he never allows them to be hurt ever! Today another incident proved that the Sadguru is ever looking after his devotees. Today I was in great agitation at my own helplessness and I was afraid that my image was tarnished for no fault of mine. But then Sainath came to my rescue and calmed the raging storm within me. I woke up today after a small nap. I was awakened by a phone call. A dear relative had called over the phone and the person seemed to be upset that I was fit enough to visit the Sai temple during Guru Pournima and yet I was not in a position to visit them. You see I had visited the temple on Guru Pournima and I had put...

My father has the darshan of Swami Maharaj in his dream

Om Jai Sai Ram! Om Shree Swami Samarh ! One must have firm faith in his sadguru . By fully surrendering one's mind,body and actions to the Sadguru ,one can sail smoothly in the ocean called samsara (life), which is full of tornadoes and hurricanes and reach the destination, viz union with brahman . As long as we have the "I" or ego, it is indeed hard for us to cross this ocean of Samsara . I therefore submit my ego to my Sadguru , and pray to his lotus feet, to help me sing his glory, which has no beginning and no end. All the scriptures of all the religions world over are not sufficient to describe his splendor and glory and fully describe him. I bow humbly to the lotus feet of Shree Gurudeva Dattatreya , and pray to him, who has looked after my like a mother to guide me. He alone is mother,father,friend, brother. He is all in all. He has infinite compassion and love for his devotees like a mother caring for her child ( Bhaktha vatsalya ). Oh Sadguru , please h...
