Sri.Swayamprakasa swamigal was not interested in performing miracles. When he was staying in Sendamangalam some times,he would go to Shiva temple.On the way is other religious people staying.Since he was not wearing dress, they started beating him.When somebody advised him not to go through that street,they told them they are doing sin & it won’t affect him, saying this boldly he again went through that road.He was sitting under bannian tree near there & people came on that way worshipped him & said that he is Sri.Dakshinamoorthy God himself.One day somebody threw stones over him & he got injured in his throat.After sometime those who pelted stones at him died fighting with themselves.He was passing through the agraharam.He asked someone there that he was hungry & buy some idlys in a hotel there.That gentleman took our swamigal there & gave two anas to the owner & they served 8 idlys.Swamigal ate them & again asked for idlys.He was asking for more & more idlys & later there were no idlys left in the hotel.Every one began to talk about this.Swamigal was standing upside down in the flagstaff of Thiruvalangadu temple for three days doing penance near Aduthurai.Shankarandar joined our Swamigal at the age of 12 & he has been with him till the end.He would take care of feeding swamigal.Swamigal would suddenly go to Namakkal(11 kms from sendamangalam) ,Shankagiri & Thenkaradu,without informing his disciple.shankarandar would pursue him where ever he was & fed him.Sometimes swamigal made himself unapproachable to Shankarandar,but his disciple would not mind this & always served his Guru unquestioning.He had many disciples both family men & sanyasi. As i have said in my previous post ,Sri .Santhanada swamigal played major role taking swamiigal’s instruction very earnestly in developing Pudukottai adhishtanam & Sendamangalam temple.Our swamigal selected his place (adhishtanam) & instructed his disciples to place him directly below Sri.Dattatreya sannidhi in the first floor.Our swamigal entered into maha samadhi on 29th Dec 1948.Sri.Santhananda swamigal built a Murugan temple to the right side of Swamigal’s Adhishtanam & consecrated on 20.1.1983.Later Santhananda swamigal built huge hall in the bottom of the Dattagiri hill & provided Sri.Heramba Ganapathi..Sri. Iyappa,Sri.Dakshinamoorthy,Sri.Panchamuga anjaneya ,Sri.Karuppanna Swamy,Sri.Idumban,Sri.Datta Gangai & named it as Sri .Dattagiri Murugan Saba Mandabam.(consecrsted on 28.1.1985)
