An episode about Shree Shankar Maharaj's grace and benediction....

Shree Swami Samarth !

Mr. Kanhere Guruji met Shree Shankar Maharaj in Shree Swami Samarth Math at Sadashiv Peth. Mr. Kanhere was busy in singing hymns in the Math. At that time Maharaj came and started beating the kettle drum and started disturbing Mr. Kanhere. He got angry on Maharaj and felt Him a mad person. So he walked away from the Math. But Maharaj followed him and started pushing him. On this Mr. Kanhere got angry and started beating Maharaj.   Seeing this scene a wrestler came forward and stopped the quarrel. But Maharaj gave the wrestler a blow and obstructed him from interfering. Mr. Kanhere quietly walked away from there and again came back to the Math and started singing hymns. Maharaj also came behind him and climbed on his neck. But Mr. Kanhere forcefully pushed Maharaj and He got hurt on His head. Maharaj was bleeding profusely. But He just applied lime and the wound stopped bleeding. Mr. Kanhere furiously inquired, “Why are you after me?” On that Maharaj replied, “You are singing the hymns in an improper manner. And that old man (Shree Swami Samarth) was telling me to stop you. Now come I will teach you how to sing hymns”. Saying this Maharaj started singing the hymns. Hearing the hymns people started gathering in the Math and bowed on Maharaj’s feet. Mr. Kanhere got confused on this scene and was amazed to know that the man who was harassing him was none other than Shree Shankar Maharaj. He bowed on Maharaj’s feet and asked for apology. Maharaj taught Mr. Kanhere all the hidden skills of music and he became an expert in singing and playing tabla (i.e. a musical instrument).

-------Shree Shankar Maharaj had invited Mr. Kanhere Guruji for dinner at 7.30 p.m. a day before His Samadhi. But Mr. Kanhere went for playing tabla in hymns and went to Maharaj at 10.00 p.m. Maharaj was waiting for him and said, “Only for twenty rupees you have missed a golden chance of a lifetime”. Mr. Kanhere washed his hands and sat for dinner and did not utter a word. A beautiful young lady wearing a saree and lots of jewels came forward and served the food and walked inside the room. Mr. Kanhere was staring surprisingly to the lady. But Maharaj shouted and asked him to eat food. Hearing this he was felt very guilty and did not looked up till he finished his food. Then he walked inside the room to wash his hands and was amazed to find the lady missing and found six to seven plates lying on the floor. He inquired Maharaj about the plates and the lady. Maharaj replied, “I am going to leave this World tomorrow. So I cooked all the food myself and had invited Shree Swami Samarth, Shree Saibaba, Shree Gajanan Maharaj and Shree Satam Maharaj for dinner. And I wished you to experience this golden chance, so I had called you. And the lady who went inside and disappeared was none other than Goddess Mahalaxmi of Kolhapur. I had requested her to wait to serve you food. You are really very lucky. You should not come here tomorrow as I am going from this mortal World. You would not be able to tolerate the grief”. Mr. Kanhere obeyed Maharaj’s order and became a great spiritual person. Mr. Kanhere Guruji experiences the love and care of Shree Shankar Maharaj even after the Samadhi and strongly believes the presence of Maharaj around him.
