	~~==Life==~~
	Goraba Kaka's family tradition in the city of "Ter" was religious and virtuous. His family was worshipers of the village deity Kaleshwar at Ter. Both the bridesmaids were supporting their families by doing pottery and carpentry. Due to his virtuous and virtuous attitude, the villagers used to know Madhav Buwan as a 'saint' in 'Ter' village. Madhav buwa had eight children. Their children were not living. He had buried his 8 children in the graveyard near Kaleshwar.

	How all eight children came back to life? A legend about this is told by Mahadev Balaji Kumbhar in the chaaritrya of Saint Goroba Kaka (gora kumbhar). He says in his chaaritrya, Shri Madhav buva was worshiping Kaleshwar at Ter. He had eight sons. But they all died one by one. Later, Paramatma Pandurang came to his house in the guise of a Brahmin. When they saw the sad face, the gods asked them, "Are you sad?" Madhav buwa said, "God took all our eight children, so we are sad." Then Lord Pandurang asked Madhav buwa to show the place where all eight children's were buried. Madhav Buwa took them to the cemetery near Kaleshwar, and showed them the place where he buried all the eight children. Then Lord Pandurang told Madhav Buwa to dig up the corpses of all the children. The father removed the bodies of all the eight children in the same manner. God saw and revived the seven children by the touch of His hand and sent them to heaven, and then resurrected the eighth child.
