A MODERN MIRACLE-WORKER His Holiness Yogiraj Jagatguru Acharya Samrat Shree Shanti Vijaysurishwarji Maharaj is at present at Saraswati Aranya, in Marwar, once a lonely little village of the beaten track, but now almost a township, thronged with people of all creeds who have come to pay their humble respects to the Saint.
His Holiness is said to have performed many miracles. On one occasion, it is said, a rich merchant who came for Gurudeo's Darshan invited about 1000 people to a feast, but on that day unexpectedly, about 5000 pleople gathered to obtain the saint's blessings and the post was in a quantary as and how to provide them with food. But His Holiness bade him not to be purturbed and when the time came to distribute food, it was found that there was not only enough for all but also enough to feed 500 more was left over.
