During his stay at Narsobawadi in 1910, Paramhans Parivrajakacharya Shrimad vasudevanand Saraswati (Tembe) Swami Maharaj directed the priests there to offer Abishek to the padukas as a measure to restrain an imminent epidemic of cholera. When people asked him: “How does Abishek help to prevent an epidemic ?”. Swami Maharaj explained: “Death is also a manifestation of GOD and epidemics are his Shaktis. By propitiating GOD through the services prescribed in the scriptures his shaktis are also pacified.” Accordingly the Abishek was performed and the epidemic averted.
