Shri. Akkalkot Swami Akkalkot Swami is popularly known as Swami Samartha. He is beleived to be an incarnation of Shri Gurudev Datta,the Trinity God. He came to Akkalkot in 1856 and continued his stay for 22 years.Akkalkot is situated in district Solapur of Maharashtra state of India.He came to Akkalkot on the invitation of Shri. Chintopant Tol and stayed at a place on the outskirts of the town. He treated all the religions equally.He was very kind to the poor, needy.He celebrated festivals of aal the religions. Swami Samarth was 'Antaryami' means,he had the capacity to read the minds of the people coming to him and also was able to know about their past and future. Swami Samarth and Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi have a surprising similarity in their lives and deeds, which include their methods of teaching,the universality of their approach and their miracles. It is beleived that Swami Samarth and Shri Shirdi Sai Baba were the manifestations of the same Divine Spirit in two sacred bodies. Before Mahasamadhi,Swami Samartha advised one of his disciples to worship Shri Sai at Shirdi saying that he (Swami Samarth) would stay at Shirdi in future.Swami Samartha is a form of Shri Narasimha Swami who spiritually uplifted a large number of people over a few decades and went in to the mountains of Himalayas for penance.Further,he was in state of samadhi for about three hundred years. As the time elapsed, a huge anthill covered him and he was lost to the outside world. A woodcutter once came there and hit his axe on the bushes grown around the ant hill,when was shocked to find blood stains on the blade of the axe.He cleared the anthill and found a Yogi in meditation. The Yogi slowly opened his eyes and consoled the stunned woodcutter,saying that it was the
divine will
for him to re-appear in the world to resume his mission. Swami Samarth also visited China when he was in Himalayas.Thereafter,he visited Banaras,Puri, Hardwar, Girnar, Kathiawad and Rameswaram in the South. Once a Risaldar,wanted to test the Swami by offering him a 'Chilum' (an earthen smoking pipe) without tobacco in it and asked him to smoke. Swami Samarth started smoking the empty Chilum after lighting it as if nothing had happened. Realising him to be an advanced spiritual person, the Risaldar apologised and made arrangements for his stay in the house of one Cholappa. It is in this small house that Swami Samarth lived upto his last. Swami Samartha took Mahasamadhi (left his mortal body) in 1878, Just before he passed awy,one devotee asked Maharaj, who will give them protection after him?". Swami Samartha gave him a pair of his sandals to worship.He added "in future I will be staying at Shirdi in district Ahmednagar,India". Another devotee,decided to go to Akkalkot and worship the divine sabots (sandals) of Swami Samartha.But Swami Samarth apeared in his dream and told him "now I am staying at Shirdi, go there and worship me". Thousands of devotees till today worship Samartha and have miraculous experiences.
