ON the banks of the
Godavari in Maharash -tra is a village called Apegaon. A saintly person called Vithalpant lived in that village long ago. Rakhumabai
was his wife.
For a long time they had no children. Disgusted with life
Vithalpant went to Kasi, and studied under a Guru. After some
time his Guru sent him back to his village, saying that he
would have children.
Vithalpant returned home. Three sons and a daughter were born
to him. They were Nivrittinath, Jnanadeva, Sopana and Muktabai, girl.
Once Vithalpant went to Triyambak near Nasik with his
children.There is a hill called Brahmagiri. The river Godavaristarts from the hill. |
