Some of the above acts are because Shri Gajanan Maharaj knew Yoga Shastra on his own admission in the book by Shri Das Ganu Maharaj.During a public meeting on the occasion of Jayanti, the great freedom fighter met Gajanan Maharaj. In his lifetime, he performed many miracles such as giving a fresh lease on life to one Janrao Deshmukh, lighting the clay-pipe without fire, filling a dry well with water, drawing sugar cane juice by twisting canes with his hands, curing leprosy of a man, curing himself of the many bites of honey bees, etc. Sensing him to be not an ordinary man who needs food to eat but a Yogi, Bankat took him home and asked Maharaj to stay with him. In the holy book (Shree Gajanan Vijay) it is also mentioned that Shree Gajanan appeared in the form of Shree Hari Vitthal (Pandhurang) in Pandharapur) for his one devotee named Bapuna Kale. They are as follows: Shree Narasingji, Shree Vasudevanand Saraswati (Tembhe Swami Maharaj), Sai Baba and such great saints of the time. In summary, it may be unlikely that Shri Gajanan Maharaj's early life will ever be known.Divine existence and similarity with other saints There is no proper past history of Gajanan Maharaj of Shegaon but in 'Shree Gajanan Vijay' Dasganu Maharaj has mentioned that Gajanan Maharaj was calling some people as his brothers. Contemporaries of Gajanan Maharaj identified him by several names like Gin Gine Buwa, Ganpat Buwa, and Awaliya Baba. Das Ganu Maharaj has written a 21 chapter biography, 'Shri,' of Gajanan Maharaj in. Later Shivanand Saraswati left to perform penance in Himalaya and was never spotted again (refer pages 362–365 of the above book for the detailed conversation of the author and Shri Shivanand Swami along with their photograph.Some speculate that he might have in fact hailed from Sajjanghad, (which was the place where Sant Samartha had lived). During these visits Shivanand Swami declared that he used visit Shri Dadasaheb Khaparde in Amravati and stay with Khaparde family.
