106. Kanfatya

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

One night when everyone was asleep in Modi's home, Kanfatya, a devotee of Maharaj, woke up at midnight and slammed a stone into Balvantrao's head causing him great injury. He then proceeded to kick Sundarabai in her back when she was sleeping at Shri Swami's feet. Two nights before he had introduced the stone to Vishwanathbua's head.

It was no mean feat to capture Kanfatya, for he was incredibly strong it would easily take fifty men to subdue him. Through some clever thinking and teamwork, the police and other devotees, together, were able to capture him.

This same Kanfatya would walk backward facing Maharaj, wherever Maharaj went, and would happily carry His cot and personal belongings no matter how much they weighed or how long the distance.

Some days he was also seen eating Shri's excrement. This shows how devoted he was to Shri Swami Samarth.
