Through out the day different ‘Bhajan Mandals' (Group of Devotees who sing devotional songs) used to come and sing devotional songs. One night when the group of ‘Devidas Chavan’ and ‘Aaba Patil’ were singing the "Bhajan", a surge of  "Vibhūtī" started flowing from ‘Shree Swāmi’s right toe. All the ‘Shree Swāmi’s devotees present there were lucky and blessed to witnessed it. ‘Vijayrao Patil’ and his family used to come daily and serve ‘Shree Swāmi’ with their melodious devotional songs. Once my daughter ‘Pradnya’ got exhausted and her hand started to ache due to distributing the ‘Holy water’ and "Prasad" to the devotees, so she went and sat on the sofa. There was a long queue of devotees to receive the ‘Holy water’ and "Prasad" and she thought to herself that how will the ‘Vibhūtī’ be enough for so many devotees. That very moment a heavy flow of ‘Vibhūtī’ started flowing from ‘Shree Swāmi’s left shoulder, this was big and forceful flow. She just thought in her mind about the problem and benevolent ‘Shree Swāmi’ started providing more ‘Vibhūtī’ to suffice all the devotees. ‘Pradnya’ just sat there on the sofa and shed tears of love and joy. During this period about more than 150,000 devotees had visited our house to take "Darshan". The "Vibhūtī" was enough for all of them. Each and every devotee received it as "Prasad".

During this period we hardly rested. There were queues of devotees waiting for "Darshan". The devotees who came from out of station used to reach our house by 11.00 to 12.00 at mid night and some early mornings by 4.00 to 5.00. Hence many a times we used to sleep only for 3 hours between 2.00 am to 5.00 am. Devotees from various parts of Maharashtra like ‘Akkalkot’, ‘Gāngāpur’, ‘Solapur’, ‘Usmanabad’, ‘Beed’, ‘Latur’, ‘Nanded’, ‘Pandharpur’, ‘Phaltan’, ‘Loland’, ‘Jejuri’, ‘Kolhapur’, ‘Sawantwadi’, ‘Ratnagiri’, ‘Chipulun’, ‘Guhagar’, ‘Satara’, ‘Wai’, ‘etc came to visit us. Devotees from ‘Mumbai’ used to book buses for 50 people and come in groups. Even devotees from Dubai (Middle East) came for ‘Darshan’. The priests of various holy temples and places visited came and visited our house for ‘Shree Swāmi’s ‘Darshan’ and witness the miracle. In this manner we had an inflow of people for day in and day out. Some used to visit us in the afternoon too. Though we did not get enough rest, none of us really fell ill. This was ‘Shree Swāmi’s special GRACE!
