• Miracles by Brahmanya Thirtharu -

1. Birth of Sri Vysarajaru – Once when Brahmanya Thirtharu was on tour in Bannur, Raamacharya, an aged brahmin died on his way to Gangasnaana.  Ramacharya’s wife wanted wanted to do “Sahagamana” with her husband and came to Swamiji for seeking Brahmanya Theertha Seer’s permission for doing so.  But Brahmanya Thirtharu, even before her seeking permission told her “Dheerga sumangalee bhava”.    Seeing all pandits were surprised.  Then they appraised him of the situation.  But Swamiji told “It is told by Gopalakrishna Devaru, and he will survive and he will be shataayushi and would have two children”.  Saying this, Swamiji gave her “mantrodaka”. As soon as she came near the dead body of her husband she did the “prokshana” of Mantrodaka given by the seer and Ramachar got up as if he is getting up from sleep.   Afterwards, Sri Vyasarajaru was born to the aged parents and he was handed over to the Mutt.

2. Malur -  Once there lived a king named Thimmarasa.  He had a son named Sarangadhara.  When Sarangadhara’s mother died, Thimmarasa, even though he was aged, he married another Rajakumari.  But Rajakumari as she was young, she was not happy with the marriage.  She wanted to have Sarangadhara (her husband’s first wife’s son) for her sexual satisfaction.  When Sarangadhara rejected her request she told her husband that Sarangadhara tried to rape her.  Then the king ordered his servants to cut his son into pieces and through him in the Kanva River.  The servants obeyed the kings orders.     Sri Brahmanya Thirtharu happened to visit the Kanva river for his “ahneeka” and he saw the Prince cut into pieces.  Realising the facts, Swamiji did the “abhimantrana” of Mruthike on the body of the prince and he gradually developed his legs and arms and he was a normal boy after wards.  It is the same place which is called as Malur named after the incident. He did the “Bara Parihara” (Femane relief) in Vijaya nagar kingdom by chanting Parjanya JapaHe did the “Nrusimha Dwajastamba” stapane in BrahmanyapuraHe did the pratistapane of Mukyaprana in Brahmanyapura alongwith Sreepadarajaru and Sri Vyasarajaru.
