139. Sitarampant Nene

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

Sitarampant Nene of Garode was a devotee of Shri Ram and had been diligently and strictly performing upasana with the goal of having sakshatkar of his ishta.

Having heard about Samarth's glories, he came to Akkalkot to receive darshan, and after having received darshan, was immensely satisfied that he had met his Ram. He then decided to stay in Akkalkot, and serve Maharaj. For sustenance, he would beg for alms.

He decided on a protocol of worship. He would beg for alms and eat whatever he received; then he would sit before Maharaj and perform Shri Ram naam japa; and would not speak with anyone.

Then one night Shri Ram appeared in his dream and granted darshan. He cleared Sitarampant's doubts on spiritual matters to his satisfaction. When he awoke, he remembered all the instructions he had received, just as if he had been instructed when awake. 

After staying in Akkalkot for some days and he returned to his village singing the glories for Shri Swami Samarth.
