Gagangiri Maharaj was extremely tired because of his peregrinations and he decided
to settle in a cave. When he was relaxing, a sage wearing saffron robes came there
from the mountains. He sprinkled water from his kamandalu, on the face of Gagangiri
Maharaj. He also gave him some kind of green grass to eat which resembled coriander
leaves. For his penance, he had prepared mattresses of grass. He found his mattresses
growing like living vegetation. This was considered as an experience, where Tantrik
technique is perfected. He did a number of Kaya Kalpas. In this process, he invented
several new concepts in Tantrik techniques and proved them true. He did penance
at a number of places like Mauli Kund, Mauli Kada, Zanzu water, Mausame Kada, Kasarbari,
Ginger water, Sat-barkund, Holi Kada, Margaj water, Jungledeo patti, Shirale etc.
During monsoon, he stayed in the cave at Garbhagiri, Gagangiri. He did penance in
a pond near the river at Sangashi, Vazar, Vesraf, Palsambe, Ramling etc. Later he
went to Vijaydurg, in the Konkan area from where he reached Mumbai by steamer. During
1945 to 1948, he did Kayakalpa at Angale, near Rajapur in Konkan. As more and more
people benefited by his meditation, more and more people started
worshipping and respecting him and his reputation spread all around. In those days
Ministers like Yeshvantrao Chavan, Balasaheb Desai, Rajarambapu Patil, Kapse and
several respected officers used to worship him.
