Melukote Narasimha gave darshana by opening the door – Once swamiji had been to Melekote for the darshana of Narasimha Devaru at Melukote.   By the time he reached there, the door was closed.  So, swamiji went near the closed door and was praising Lord Narasimha.  The door opened itself all of a sudden and he did the Mangalarathi to Yoga Narasimha Devaru.

Advaitee pandit converted to Madhwa Philosophy –   There was a poet by name Ganashyam in Northern India.    He had written many dramas and was well versed in Advaita philosophy.  On hearing the Tatvopanyasa by Sri Satyapriya Tirtharu, the Advaitee poet was convinced and he himself voluntarily came to accept Madhwa Philosophy and swamiji readily gave him Mudra Dharana. That poet wrote a drama titled “Prachanda Rahoodayam”, wherein he has discussed, Dwaita, Advaita and finally told that Dwaitha is supreme, wherein he has made Sri Satyapriya Tirtharu as hero.

Manamadurai – Once Sri Satyapriya Tirtharu had come to Manamadurai, which was covered by a dense forest.  One day some thieves stolen the pooja box, jewels and the pooja ganta of Uttaradi Mutt which the swamiji was worshipping.  Swamiji was worshipping and singing in praise of Hanumantha devaru.   Immediately many monkeys attacked the thieves and frieghtened the thieves.    The thieves came running to Swamiji and handed over the entire stolen things.  From that time, the place was called as Veera Vanara Madurai, and then as Vana Madurai and now Manamadurai.

Blood turned as Araathi,  Fish into Stones and Mutton as Sandalwood – Once a King , who had no good feelings for the Swamiji, offered for pooja, Mutton, Fish and Blood in three different plates to Sri Satyapriya Tirtharu.     Swamiji came to understood that such a thing has been offered to God.  He sprinkled Theertha and Tulasi on them.  Suddenly the Mutton was turned as Sandalwood, Fish as stone, and blood as Arathi for Srihari.  By that time, the King began loosing his eye power.  The king fell on the feet of the swamiji and pleaded for his anugraha.    Swamiji prayed god to forgive his misdeeds and he got back his eye site.  The king donated three villages including Chandanoor.  He also donated 100 acres of land to the swamiji.
