Swami Samartha Leelamrutam chapter 39 & 40

Chapter 39 Summary :
From this chapter on wards we will read how Swami Samartha with His grace removed all the obstacles  faced by the devotees in their spiritual path.He guided them and removed all sorts of difficulties that they were facing.And, we can also read how He changed few blessed devotees who came for His darshna  as great spiritual leaders and yogis.By reading the stories we understand Swami Samartha is Jagadguru who removes the veil of illusion.

       Most importantly, in this chapter  Sri Vittal Babaji told about His previous birth. Pujya Guruji Sri Sri Sri Vittalaanda Sarasawati Swamiji  was  Alandi  Narashima Saraswathi Swamji in His previous birth.He also narrated how in His previous birth He had dasrshan of Sri Swami Samartha, how Swami Samartha cleared His doubts and narrated all the incidents and leelas that took place that time.

Chapter 40 Summary :  Beedkar Maharaj Story::  Beedkar Maharaj  though was addicted to bad habits, he was very particular and sincere in following religious practices and rituals. Being in the path of devotion, he  self criticized himself and wanted to change and get rid off all the bad habits.He was fortunate enough to have darshan of a Sadhu one day.He offered His humble namaskaram and told everything ( good and  bad) about him to that Sadhu.The Sadhu listened to him and insults him saying people with such bad qualities and habits will never be fortunate enough to get Sadhguru's darshan in life and asks him to leave from there immediately.
 Beedkar feels very hurt and depressed and finally decides to worship Lord Hanuman. He thinks to Himself that Hanuman is Jeetendra ( the one who won over Lord Indra) and He will protect everyone and starts worshiping Him with faith daily. Finally, God forgives him for his sincere and love filled devotion.As a result, Lord Hanuman appears to him in his dream and advises him to have darshan of Swami Samartha at Akkalkot. As per Lord Hanuma's order he starts to Akkalkot early morning the next day.Now, this is a very amazing and heart touching part of the story as how Swami Samartha transformed  a normal human being Beedkar addicted to bad habits with Swami's Darshana, Sparshanaa and Sambaashan  to a saint- " Beedkar Maharaj" can be read in detail in this chapter.This chapter will fill our hearts with devotion and love for Guru.
From this we realize that Swami Samartha showed immense love and compassion towards his children.True devotion, being selfless will always be recognized
