Sri Swami Charitra Saramrit English Translation Chapter 11

Shree Swami Samarth, my salutations to all Swami devotees. Today we are going to learn about Sri Swami Charitra Saramrit Chapter Eleven.
In the previous chapter, the writer has narrated the current situation of Balappa coming to Murgod village. The work of a righteous man named Chidambara Dixit who happened there has also been narrated by the writer
First of all, Balappan came to know about Sri Swamy, in Murgod village. But some Brahmins advised to go to Sri Datta place i.e. Gangapur instead of going to Akkalkot. So Balappa entered Gangapur.
Many devotees used to come to Gangapur to get their wishes fulfilled. Some devotees used to enter Gangapur for progeny, some for wealth, some for happiness and some for prestige. But Balappa entered Gangapur with Sadhguru’s obsession.
On reaching Gangapur, Balappa devoted himself to the service of Datta. Balappa started his daily routine by taking regular bath, mid-day bath, evening salutation, meditation and chanting. And started receiving Madhukari to earning his bread and food.
A few months later. In the dream, three Yatimurtis came forward and stood up. Further, fifteen days later, the dream appeared again. A Brahmin appeared in a dream. And said to go to Akkalkot and serve Shri Swami.
At the end of the mid-day bath, Balappa saw a scorpion under his clothes. But he freed it without killing it. And on his way back to the temple he received many auspicious signs. And in Madhukari they got sweets to eat.
Balappa left for Akkalkot considering this day as auspicious to go to Akkalkot. Later he came to Akkalkot and devoted himself to the service of Sri Swami. It was because of his previous pilgrimage that Balappa enjoyed the association of Sri Swami for many years. And here ends the eleventh chapter of Sri Swami Charitra Saramrita. Shri Swami Samarth, Jai Jai Swami Samarth

अस्ता जातां वासरमणी। संध्यास्नान करावें ॥9॥

रात्र पडतां परतोन। ग्रामामाजी येती ते ॥10॥
सदगुरु प्राप्तीकरितां। सोडुनी गृह-सुत-कांता।
शीतोष्णाची पर्वा न करितां। आनंदवृत्ती राहती ॥11॥
शीतोष्णाचा होय त्रास। अर्धपोटीं उपवास।
परी तयांचें मानस। कदा उदास नोहेची ॥12॥
अय्याराम सेवेकरी। राहत होते गाणगापुरीं।
त्यांनी देखुनी ऐसीपरी। बाळाप्पासी बोलती ॥13॥
तुम्हीं भिक्षा घेवोनी। नित्य यावें आमुचे सदनीं।
जें जें पडेल तुम्हांस कमी। तें तें आम्हीं पुरवूं जी ॥14॥

निशीदिनीं चिंता चित्तास। सदगुरु प्राप्तीची लागली॥18॥
हीन आपुलें प्राक्तन। भोग भोगवी दारुण।
पहावे सदगुरुचरण। ऐसें पुण्य नसेची ॥19॥
एक मास होता निश्चिती। स्वप्नीं तीन यतीमूर्ती।
येवोनिया दर्शन देती। बाळाप्पा चित्तीं सुखावें ॥20॥
पंधरा दिवस गेल्यावरी। निद्रिस्थ असतां एके रात्रीं।
एक ब्राह्मण स्वप्नाभीतरीं। येवोनिया आज्ञापी ॥21॥

आणखीही कांहीं दिन। क्रम आपुला चालवावा ॥23॥
मग कोणे एके दिवशीं। बाळाप्पा आले संगमासी।
वृक्षातळीं ठेवुनी वस्त्रासी। गेले स्नान करावया ॥24॥
परतले स्नान करोनी। सत्वर आले त्या स्थानीं।
वस्त्र उचलितां खालोनी। वृश्चिक एक निघाला॥25॥
तयासी त्यांनीं न मारिलें। नित्यकर्म आटोपिलें।
ग्रामामाजी परत आले। गेले भिक्षेकारणें॥26॥
त्या दिवशीं ग्रामाभीतरीं। पक्वान्न मिळालें घरोघरीं।
बाळाप्पा तोषले अंतरीं। उत्तम दिन मानिला ॥27॥
अक्कलकोटीं जावयासी। निघाले मग त्याच दिवशीं।
उत्तम शकुन तयांसी। मार्गावरी जाहले ॥28॥
चरण-चाली चालोनी। अक्कलकोटीं दुसरे दिनीं।
बाळाप्पा पोंचले येवोनी। नगरी रम्य देखिली॥29॥
जेथें नृसिंह सरस्वती। यतिरूपें वास करिती।
तेथें सर्व सौख्यें नांदती। आनंद भरला सर्वत्र ॥30॥
तया क्षेत्रींचें महिमान। केवीं वर्णूं मी अज्ञान।
प्रत्यक्ष जें वैकुंठभुवन। स्वामी कृपेनें जाहलें ॥31॥
इति श्री स्वामीचरित्रसारामृत। नाना प्राकृत कथा संमत।
श्रोेते सदा परिसोत। एकादशोध्याय गोड हा ॥32॥
श्रीरस्तु ॥ शुभं भवतु॥
