048. A Mahar woman begets a son

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

Once, Shri Swami Samarth was in the Mahar settlement. A woman from the Lingayat Vani community came before Him, and after offering her obeisance, prayed for his blessings to beget a son.

There was a bone lying nearby. Maharaj picked it up, handed it to her, and said, "Here is your son." Not wanting to touch something impure as a bone, the woman took a step back.

Just then, a Mahar woman, who was also desirous of having a son, stood up, and with hands outspread,  prayed to Swami, "Maharaj, give me a son."

Maharaj handed the same bone to her, and she gratefully accepted it. 

Within a year, by Shri Swami's grace, the Mahar woman gave birth to a healthy son. Such is His leela of graciousness.
