What examples from the text demonstrate Maharaj's supernatural abilities and his influence over his devotees' actions?

The provided texts from chapter 0 offer several examples of Maharaj's extraordinary abilities and profound influence. His miraculous power is evident in the story of him sleeping on a plank suspended by old rags that should not have been able to bear the weight. Furthermore, no one ever saw him get on or off the plank. His divine grace is shown when he blessed Gopalrao Gund, who had three wives, with a son. Maharaj also demonstrated clairvoyance by revealing the location of a hidden Pir's tomb, which he called 'our father's place.' His authority is clear in how he directed Gund's efforts away from rebuilding the Masjid and towards constructing and renovating Hindu temples, and in his command to establish the annual village fair on Ram Navami.
