So Shree Maharaj decided to stay at Chikhali at night. Later on, the people build
the temple of Shree Halsiddhanath near the river because this area has blessed with
a holy stay of Shree Maharaj.
In the early morning, Shree Halsiddhanath Maharaj came to the riverbank to cross
the river but still the boatman was not arrived. Now, he decided to cross the flooded
river, and threw his wool blanket that is a Ghongadaon water surface. He sat on
the blanket, and with his spiritual power, the blanket floated on the water like
a boat. Shree Halsidhanath Maharaj crossed the river on the blanket and reached
to Kurli. People were very surprised to see this.
Maharaj stayed at Kurli for some days, and then went to Appachiwadi. He chose Appachiwadi
as his Karmabhumi (land of destiny) even though that is a very small village. Lush
greenery, environment of dark shadows of huge tamarind trees, calmness of green
fields, cold and cool water of streams in Appachiwadi attracted Shree Maharaj. He
decided to stay there and bless the place with his pious existence. He used to perform
penance in the caves at lonely place. The door of such place is so small that one
has to bend horizontal to enter into the cave.
Fragrance of his penance, miracles, and blessings spread in the nearby areas so
soon that people started approachinghim with real trust and faith. People started
respecting and trusting him. He had always referred as an arbitrated in village
disputes. He also used to heal the diseases of poor people with his spiritual power
of quantum healing. He started curing and caring people with mothers heart, and
people started worshiping him as incarnation of God.
