Shri Satyanidhi Teertha ruled the Vendantha Samrajya with a remarkable distinction and his life was a saga of supreme spiritual achievements. Many people were uplifted with his guidance and blessings.

He had met Shri rAghavEndra tIrtharu once at Kumbakonam.

He entered the Brindavana on the tenth day of the bright half of the month of Margasheersha near the "Nivrutti Sangam" where the river Krishna and Tungabhadra join in the Kurnool District of Andhra Pradesh. Due to the construction of the Shrisailam Hydro Electric Power Project, the Moola Brindava of Shri Satyanidhi Teertha situated at Nivrutti Sangam would have submerged in dam water. Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu wanted to save the Moola Brindavana of Shri Satyanidhi Teertha. Shri Satyapramoda Teertharu went to the spot with his disciples and offered the pooja near the sannidhana of the Moola Brindavana for an hour and ordered the disciples to dismantle the Brindavana. When the disciples started to remove granite stone panels of Brindavana, they were surprised that they smelled the perfumes of Shri Gandha from the Moola Brindavana of Shri Satyanidhi Teertha. It is very interesting to convey that the disciples and His Holiness found a saligram, Japamala and Counch (Kamandala). The Kamandala was full of crystal clear water which seemed to have been filled up on the same day.
Shri Satyapramoda Teertha and the disciples who attended in the dismantling work wondered at the divine power of His Holiness. He was such a great mystic and storehouse of penance. Shri Satyapramoda Teertha swamy sprinkled the Kamandala water on the disciples. After completion of dismantling work the structure was carried to Kurnool and restructured in the premises of the Uttaradi Matha in the same architectural model as at Nivrutti Sangam dring the year 1984.
