107. Vamanbua bathes Shri Maharaj

|| Shri Swami Samarth ||

Early one morning, Vamanbua presented himself before Maharaj with a desire of offering him a bath. Shri Samarth was already seated and prepared for His bath. However, Cholappa and Sundarabai did not allow Vamanbua to bathe Him. 

Just then, Maharaj scolded addressing Vamanbua, "Why are you scared of the Jain and the widow? Bathe me!"

Maharaj had provided clear instructions and they were to be promptly obeyed. Vamanbua poured the Ganga over Shri Maharaj's head, then offered his obeisance, and then went home.

In the evening, when Vamanbua was performing kirtan, Maharaj chastised him, "Why this show of performing kirtan when you don't even offer naivedya!?"

The next day, Vamanbua offered naivedya to Shri Swami Samarth.
