Biography of Swami Samarth Akkalkot Maharaj

I was feeling gloomy and depressed last night and as usual asked Sai Baba to help me. As usual he answered my Q . He suggested me to read the Pothi of Swami Samarth Akkalkot Maharaj to get rid of my problems. In Sai Satcharitra also Baba asks many devotees to read this Pothi. At times he dissuaded devotees from visiting Akkalkot, he said '' Akkalkot ke swami yehi toh hain '' .. '' I am HIM ''.... In a chapter, a man goes to Shirdi frustrated by his problems, he decides to commit suicide. Right at that moment Baba decides to help him. A man comes to him and gives him Pothi of Akkalkot Maharaj. He reads it and finds a similiar story as of his own life and he learns lesson that suicide is futile. Then he lives in Shirdi and earns money and lives happily.
Likewise there are many instances of Akkalkot Maharaj in Sai Satcharitra and i felt Baba also wants me to read this Pothi. I searched net and found out his biography and felt like sharing it with readers.
I desire that all the readers should get benefitted by reading this ..... because this is Baba's wish.
I am publishing this biography with good intentions for the well-being of devotees. Hence seek forgiveness from the original source if it feels that this is any kind of infringement of rights.

Gurucharitra

The description of the miraculous works of Sripad Srivallabh and Narsinha Sarswati, the incarnations of Lord Dattatreya, are narrated in the metrically composed book ‘Gurucharitra’ written by Saraswat Gangadhar. This book is considered as spellbound ‘Gurucharitra’. ‘Gurucharitra’ is thoroughly read and recited by the devotees in a prescribed manner. Innumerable devotees have attained wonderful and miraculous experiences by reading ‘Gurucharitra’. Saraswat Gandhar, the descendent of Naganath, the son of Sayamdeo, composed this Book in the year 1440, as per Hindu calendar, and the year 1518 as per English Calendar.

Due to Lord Dattatreya and his incarnations and the recitation of Gurucharitra, innumerable miserable and distressed devotees have been emancipated.
