Swami is None other than Shri Narasimha Sarasvati
That day was the auspicious day of the dissolving of Shri Narasimha Saraswati into the Krishna River at Srisailam. Swami continued singing Sri Datta Bhajans almost the entire day. It was 12 noon. Traditionally, it was time for Shri Narasimha Saraswati to take Bhiksha in the afternoon. Smt. Sitamma specially cooked food with one small glass of rice for Swami. (Swami eats very little rice). All the devotees said that they will go home, take their meals and come back. “Take the prasādam and go,” said Swami, enthrallingly narrating the story of sacrificing food to the entire village (Samārādhana) by Shri Bhaskara Sharma (from the Guru Charitra). Swami said, “Like this, Sri Narasimha Saraswati threw His shawl onto a small vessel containing a glass of rice.” Saying this, He threw His shawl on the vessels in the kitchen. Smt. Sitamma kept serving Swami from those vessels. The food kept on coming without end (Akshayam)! Swami kept making morsels of food and giving them to all the 18 devotees. Finally, the rice bowl became empty as rice was served for the sake of curd rice! Swami is an incarnation of Lord Datta! It is possible for His infinite power to make food inexhaustible! Swami proved that He is none other than Shri Narasimha Saraswati.
