The miracle, where a stream of "Vibhūtī" emerged continuously from Shree Swāmi Samarth’s photograph, took place during the period, 1 st July to 18th July (Aashadh Shukla Ekadashi to Aashadh Krushna Dwādashi), prior to this particular miracle many other miracles had taken place in my life. Almost one hundred thousand people visited our house to witness the ‘Vibhūtī Miracle’. Many requested me lovingly to write a small book about this incidence. In fact, it was Swāmi’s will and command, that I write a book on Vibhūtī Sākshātkār. Keeping all this in mind, I wrote this book. I have stated THRUTH and only but the THRUTH in this book. It was a humble attempt but in reality, the word ‘Attempt’ is also wrong, because I physically wrote or described the incident but in actuality it was the Great Saint of ‘Akkalkot’, who dictated it to me.

Swami Samarth, also known as Swami of Akkalkot was an Indian spiritual master of the Dattatreya sect. He is a widely known spiritual figure in various Indian states including Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. He lived during the nineteenth century. Swami Samarth traveled all across the Indian subcontinent and eventually set his abode at Akkalkot, a village in present-day Maharashtra. He is thought to have initially arrived at Akkalkot on a Wednesday, during either September or October in 1856 CE. He resided at Akkalkot for close to 22 years. His parentage and origins remain obscure. Some other Indian saints and spiritual figures including Sai Baba of Shirdi and Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon also have similarly unknown origins. According to legend, once when a disciple asked Swami a question of his birth, Swami responded that he had originated from a banyan tree (vata-vriksha in Marathi). On another occasion, Swami had said that his earlier name was Nrusimha Bhan. Swami Samarth is widely considered to be the fourth (third in physical form) incarnation of Dattatreya, an Indian monk, mystic and Hindu deity. He is also believed to be a reincarnation of Narasimha Saraswati, another earlier spiritual master of the Dattatreya sect. According to Swami Samarth himself, he had originally appeared in the Kardali forests near Srisailam, a Hindu holy town in present-day Andhra Pradesh. He might have moved through China, Tibet and Nepal during his travels across the Himalayas and its adjacent regions. He is also believed to have visited various Indian regions such as Puri, Varanasi (also Kashi), Haridwar, Girnar, Kathiawar and Rameswaram. He might have also briefly lived at Mangalvedha, a town near Pandharpur in present-day Solapur district, Maharashtra. He finally settled at Akkalkot. Swami Samarth is also believed to have visited Maniknagar to meet Manik Prabhu, an Indian saint and mystic considered to be another incarnation of Dattatreya. According to the Shree Manik Prabhu Charitra (biography), Swami resided at Maniknagar for around six months. During this period, Manik Prabhu and Swami Samarth often sat under a cluster fig tree (Audumbar in Marathi) and had conversations on profound spirituality. It is claimed that Swami Samarth regarded Manik Prabhu as a brother. Swami Samarth arrived at Akkalkot in 1856 CE on receiving an invitation from Chintopant Tol and then stayed on the outskirts of the town for about 22 years. He usually lived at the residence of his disciple Cholappa, where his shrine is presently located.

Sripada Srivallabha (Telugu: శ్రీపాద శ్రీవల్లభ) was an Indian guru of Dattatreya tradition (sampradaya) who is regarded as an incarnation of Lord Dattatreya. He is considered one of the first complete Avatars (incarnations) of the deity Dattatreya in Kali Yuga. Of note, Narasimha Saraswati, Manik Prabhu and Swami Samarth are other incarnations of Lord Dattatreya that followed Sripada Srivallabha. Sripada Srivallabha was born and lived in Pithapuram, a town in present-day Andhra Pradesh in India. The grandparents of Sreepada Sreevallabha belonged to the Malayadri village of Guntur District in the Palnadu area of Andhra Pradesh state in India. Malladi Bapanna Avadhanulu of Harithasa gothra is the maternal grandfather of Sripada. His wife Rajamamba also belonged to a scholar’s family. Her brother was Malladi Sridhara avadhanlu belonged to the same place. Once the two scholars went to ‘Ainavilli’ a remote area in Godavari mandal, and there they conducted a yagna where they actually made Lord Ganapati appear during the time of Poornahuti, which was witnessed by all the people who attended the ‘yagna’. Lord Ganapati had received the Poornahuti with his trunk and to the astonishment of all the people, disclosed that he will take birth as Sripada Srivallabha on Ganesh Chaturdhi. Later both the scholars went to Pithapuram village and settled there. Sripada Srivallabha took sanyas at the age of 16 years, and lived in his physical form only untill the age of 30. Some of the noted holy places that Sripada Srivallabha visited during his life time are -Varanasi (Kashi), Badarikashram, Gokarna, Srisailam and Kuravapura. Shripad Vallabha stayed in Kurupuram much of his life. The religious significance of Kurupuram is duly mentioned in the book Shri Guru Charitra and other holy books associated with Shri Dattatreya. Shripad Vallabha did many leelas here. It is believed that the Avatar Sripada Srivallabha is 'Chiranjeevi' (immortal) and that he took 'Jalsamadhi' in Kuravapura or Kurugaddi, a river island on river Krishna near Raichur, Karnataka. He disappeared since then as a human but still exists in 'Tejorup' (in Pure energy form). On the opposite bank of the River is Vallabhapuram belonging to Telangana state which is also sacred.

The spread of the name and fame of Shri Sai Baba of Shirdi within the last two decades is a phenomenon by itself. From 1999 onwards a number of websites were created in the name of Baba, the world over. In the year 2000, Shri C.B Satpathy visited Chicago to inaugurate the Sai Utsav in the month of November. This event attracted a lot of devotees from all over the world including hundreds of families from the US, Latin America, Canada and UK, and by Baba's grace acted as the seed of the creation of an effective world forum of Sai devotees. It was followed by similar events and confrences in Sydney, Australia in 2001, Johannesburg and Nairobi in Africa in 2003 where an increasing number of devotees asked me questions regarding Sai Baba and his message. This trend continued over the years through the internet, till he decided to come up with a publication that would lend greater clarity about His message to His devotees as well as to those with a religious bent of mind. This book is a compilation of the questions he has received over the years, and answers to them in a structyred manner in a style and language which is easy to understand. His messages circulated on various festivals between 2004 and 2009 through diffrent magazines and websites are also included.
