At times, reading the book would automatically lead me to deep meditation and the whole day would pass in peace. Several prayers were also responded to by the Swami. I somehow felt that those padukas were indeed powerful and the devotee was truly blessed by the Swami. Everytime i visited her home and touched those padukas, my life situation improved dramatically. The Swami also connected with another devotee of his who had his padukas in her home. This was not a standalone event but repeated everytime i read his book. One of the strange things that happened was the experience of peace even when one page of his book was read. At that time i was once again motivated to read his book. I started consulting him on some critical decisions and always received guidance from him through my own mind.Īfter i moved to India in 2011, i went through numerous difficult situations and the mind had lost all of its peace. He came across to me as a 'Mahavtar' and a 'highly advanced yogi' with the highest possible realization of god, so much so that there was little difference between him and god.Įven as i read the book, i used to feel his living presence when i went for long walks in Ridley Creek State Park, Penssylvania Somehow that was the first time, he entered my life in a big way, in the sense that he was just a character in a book earlier and now, he was a living presence that i was able to feel. I was totally absorbed in reading the book and the miracles he performed stunned me. As i started reading the book once again, i was most surprised to find that my critical attitude to the Swami had dissappeared.


I prayed to Baba that the resistance in me to read the book should go away. After a year, i somehow was drawn to the book again. I could not progress with reading the book, since i kept drawing comparison with Baba and felt my Baba was so much more compassionate, gentle and kind while Swami Samarth's methods seemed very tough to me. I was extremely reluctant to read the book, since my Guru and God are Swamiji and Sai Baba. It was sometime in 2009 that i was gifted a book on Swami Samarth by a cousin brother of mine.
