Shri Swami Samarth, one of greatest spiritual mindand Guru India has ever seen, after his reappearance in the Badri forest, was in the Himalayas for a while. Swamiji visited Varanasi and Gangothri and later came to aplace called Devalgram. It was in Deval gram he established his Padukas and from there went to Rajur. In Rajur, Swamiji established the Mutt after arranging a grant of eight villages as income for maintaining the Mutt. The king donated this to the Swamiji and after setting up the Mutt, Swamiji handed his establishments to bis disciples and left from there.

Different Names

Swamiji, during the course of the travel was known in different names. He was known as Chanchalbharati is some places. Swamiji being a Yogi with supernatural powers did miracles for his devotees but not for the fun of it. Swamiji did the miracles by chance and was not for people doing miracles all the time. There are many stories connected with the miracles of Swamiji. Once when Swamiji was in the meditation position in a cave in Himalayas a Chinese couple came and seeing Swamiji dressed strangely made fun of Him. The couple after sometime got engaged in the sexual activities and suddenly the woman turned into a man. The couple understood the power of Swamiji and surrendered to Him and Swamiji being a great soul pardoned them and brough them to their original state.

Swamiji travelled to Puri temple and helped a saint from Baroda who had fallen ill. The saint when prayed to Lord Jagannath and Swamiji appeared in front of them and arranged for the food which they were longing for. Eating the food their illness vanished. To them Swamiji told that He was known as Vriddha (old man) Narasimha Saraswati and he was present everywhere. He also told them that Sahyadri Mountains, Girnar, Baranasi, Mahur, Karavir, Panchaleshwar, Kuravapur, Karanjanagar, Oudumber, Ganagapur and Narsimhawadi were his favourite places. Swamiji during those days was known as Vriddha Narasimha Saraswati and with this miracle which happened to the saints Swamiji name started spreading. Swamiji all of a sudden disappeared from Puri.

Body and Mind

Swamiji, when in Hardwar cured two persons suffering from leprosy. Swamiji knew that the problems of the body are connected to the problems of the mind and it is what happens first. Swamiji removed the mental problems first by guiding them in the right way in terms of their thinking and behaviour. Swamiji often made them confess and depending upon the character of the person Swamiji used to treat them. If the affected person is arrogant Swamaiji used to put them through bizarre situation through his Yogic powers only to make them realise that there are more powers than what they think.
