|| Shri Swami Samarth ||
One afternoon Shri Maharaj got up from where he was seated, put on his slippers, and started walking. Around fifty of His devotees followed Him.
There was a Muslim burial ground on the outskirts of the village and Maharaj went there. He ordered for a large stone to be brought and dropped into the well. Then, He proceeded to urinate on a grave just like a small child, and then defecated nearby.
Some Muslims who were present in the graveyard saw this and were greatly angered. They went and informed others in their community who quickly armed themselves with sticks and marched toward where Maharaj was.
On seeing from afar the angry mob, coming towards them, Shri's devotees warned Him, "Maharaj, the Muslims are coming to beat You."
At that time, Maharaj had two large dogs with Him. One was named Bokad and the other was called Motya.
Maharaj knelt on the ground and while pressing the ground instructed a devotee, "Press down Bokad! Press down Bokad!"
The devotee complied and pressed the dog down on the ground. When this happened, the children of all those in the mob, began screaming in pain. Their frightened mothers came running to call back their husbands. No one understood what was happening.
Then, an older Muslim man said to his gathered folk, "This is the doing of Shri Swami Samarth! We must surrender to Him so that our children will have relief."
They agreed and leaving their sticks came to Maharaj asking for forgiveness. The most merciful Shri Dattatreya Swami asked the attendant to release the dog, and when this was done, they soon received a message that the children were completely normal and their stomach pain had disappeared completely. Everyone was mesmerized.
The Muslims, understanding that Shri Swami Maharaj was a great Awliya, returned back to their homes.
Such is the strange leela of Shri Swami Samarth.
