One of ‘Shree Swāmi’s great devotees by the name of ‘Shree Baba Chachad’ used to come daily for ‘Darshan’ accompanied by other devotees. Right from the beginning I have great respect for ‘Shree Baba’. Once as his daughter ‘Miss Smita Chachad’ was climbing up the stairs of our house she mentioned to offer a yellow flower to the idol of "Goddesses" which was placed in the center of our "Altar". The "Moorty" (idol) of "Devi"  (Goddess) is of "Durga / Bhavani" (One of the forms of Goddess). It is with our family for last four to five generations (That is approximately 350-400 years). She is also referred as "Tuljā Bhavāni".

About forty days after the actual miracle 'Dr. Professor Madhavrao Dixit' visited us along with his family. As he was describing about the miracle to his brother and sister-in-law and to a friend of his ‘Mr. Nikam’ from ‘Alandi’ he suddenly addressed ‘Shree Swāmi’ and said, “Swāmi, please once again show us the miracle and reimburse our faith, show us that you are here”. Immediately the Vibhūtī started to come out from the ‘Shree Swāmi’s photograph. All were overjoyed.

Once a lady by the name of 'Mrs. Soni' came to us in a despondent state of mind. Her 40 years old son had left the house and was missing since seven months. She along with her daughter-in-law and her grand children used to wait and long for him to return home. She sat in front of ‘Shree Swāmi’ and said that my son should come home before next Thursday and I will definitely bring him to you for your "Darshan". We were surprised at her statement, as she was not only dictating ‘Shree Swāmi’ as what to do, but was trying to barter with him. She was trying to enforce her demands on the Lord. To my dismay next Thursday she came to us with her son. The mother and the son sat in front of ‘Shree Swāmi’ and shed tears. ‘Shree Swāmi’ lovingly, benevolently had agreed to her demands. He brought her lost son home before the next Thursday.

According to our monthly schedule, our programme on 10 the July 2001 was going on and ‘Shree Kamlakar Tapasvi’’ was singing devotional songs, I was sitting next to ‘Mr. Vijay Tamhankar’ and suddenly ‘Shree Digambar Kulkarni Guruji’ cried out “Vibhūtī is falling down", ‘Aai Shingade’ also said the same thing and all of ‘Shree Swāmi’s devotees had another opportunity to witness the "Vibhūtī" miracle.
