The experience is awesome and we reverently bow down to the floor and pay our obeisance and respects. ‘Miss Laxmi’ moves around swiftly and offers tea to all of us.  She gets very excited  while offering us food and also gets flustered trying to do many things at one time. Her hospitality is noteworthy. ‘Sau Aai’ says to ‘Sau Aparna’ "How many times I have told this daughter of mine that you have come to your parent’s home and do not go away in a rush. Please stay back and relax for at least four days". While uttering these kind and sweet words, she hugs and caresses ‘Sau Aparna’ lovingly.  Both of them hug each other and shed tears of joy.  Rest of us who watch this scene, get emotional and misty-eyed too. ‘Vidyādhara’ is in a great hurry to distribute the "Prasād" to everyone.  "Ratnākar" sings the following devotional song –

OMKAR  SWAROOPAA  SADGURU  SAMARATHAA |
ANAATHAANCHYĀA  NAATHAA  TUJ  NAMO  TUJ  NAMO ||'

(The one who is OMKAR incarnate, Sadguru Samartha |
Protector of the forlorn. We bow unto Thee, We bow unto Thee ||)

As we are bidding farewell, old ‘Annā’ with his shaking hands wipes his eyes with one end of his garment. ‘Laxmi’ and ‘Vidyā’ hold ‘Annā’ by his hand and return home. All are overwhelmed with emotions. There is complete silence. All of us offer ‘Dhandawāt’ (offering obeisance by completely prostrating on the ground with stretched and folded hands facing the ground; falling on the ground like a stick).

‘Sudhākar’ rushes and accompanies us to the car. Why this strong bond between us and these people?.  Why do ‘Sau. Aai’, ‘Annā’, ‘Sudhākar’, ‘Vidyādhar’, ‘Ratnākar’, ‘Miss Laxmi’ and ‘Sau. Manju’ love us so dearly?. Why are they so attached to us?. These are indeed very benevolent and loving people.

This work got completed only with ‘Shree Swāmi Samarth’s GRACE.  Many people, even today, are experiencing his "Grace" and are getting various experiences. Even today if one calls Him, He stands besides them.  Innumerable devotees have experienced this fact.  If one does "Shree Swāmi Bhakti" with the noble intention like ‘May our day to day life on this earth continue smoothly and we grow spiritually', then 'Shree Swāmi Samarth' definitely comes and helps us.  He is there for us.

Our only prayer at the Lotus Feet of 'Shree Swāmi Samarth Mahārāj' is that, "May Shree Swāmi shower His Grace on all the devotees, at all times!"

‘Shree Swāmi Samarth Mahārāj ki Jai.
  Shree Swāmi Samarth, Jai Jai Swāmi Samarth.
  Sadguru Swāmi Samarth, Jai Jai Swāmi Samarth.
  Shree Swāmi Samarth Charanārpanamastu !’
 
(Victory be to Shree Swāmi Samarth Mahārāj.
Victory be unto Shree Swāmi Samarth; Victory be unto Him. 
Victory be to Sadguru Swāmi Samarth.
We surrender unto the Lotus feet of Shree Swāmi Samarth.
Victory be to Swāmi Samarth)
