GIVING
LIFE TO THE DEAD & EMANCIPATING THE DESERVING
When
he visited Kritagiri near Gadag, he accepted biksha of Raghunatha
Desai, a powerful man of the area. By accident, his favourite little
boy fell into the big vessel filled with mango juice, made for
distribution among the guests. Horrified at the tragedy, he gave
life to the host's son with sprinkling of water from his holy
Kamandal. At another place one unfortunate Harijan by name Kanakadas
was released from the shackles of sinful life with the thirtha given
after the prayer to the idol of Sri Mula Rama, which was normally
taken, wherever he went. That Kanakadas was incidentally his friend
in his previous birth, and was responsible for the darsan of Sri
Hari. Likewise, his superhuman powers were put to public benefit.
Always! He conferred titles on the deserving writers and donors,
when approached him forblessings. He also visited the courts of
kings at their invitation for warding off evil forces, or
calamities.
