Wife of Shri Raghavendra Swami Smt. Saraswathi desired to see her husband for the last time before he take up sanyasa.
While reaching the matha hurriedly, she accidentally drowned in an old and unused well on the way.
Due to her untimely death, she gets caught up in between heaven and earth.
Since her last wish to see her husband was not fulfilled, she went to the matha to witness the ordaining function with her subtle body (ghost body).
By the time she reaches the matha, Raghavendra Swami had already took sanyasa.
Shri Guru Raghavendra Swami senses her presence with his spiritual powers. He then sprinkled few drops of holy water in an intention to grant her moksha as she had done selfless to Raghavendra swami in purvashram (before sanyasa).

The Great Miracle of Shri Guru Raghavendra Swami in Nawab’s Palace
Once Nawab of Adoni wanted to meet Shri Raghavendra Swami after hearing about his miracles in the town so he sends his followers to bring him to his Palace.
Shri Raghavendra Swami comes to Nawab’s Palace on his request. Instead of being respectful to the great saint, nawab decided to test his spiritual powers. He orders to bring him a plate of non-vegetarian delicacies completely covered with a piece of cloth, in the guise of offering alms.
Alms are offered to request the seeking of blessings from the saints in Hindu tradition.
Shri Guru Raghavendra Swami took some holy water from his Kamandala, closes his eyes for few seconds and sprinkled it on the plate with non-vegetarian food covered with cloth.
He then uncovers the cloth to see the fresh fruits and flower.
Nawab awstuck by this miracle and bows down to swamiji and fell down at his knee for forgiveness. Nawab then offers a piece of land and wealth.
Instead of this land, raghavendra swami chooses a place near Manchale (present Mantralaya), which was part of nawab’s kingdom.
Nawab then orders his followers to build a matha.
After so many years, he told a devotee that the mantralaya is the same place where King Prahalada performed yagnyas to Lord Rama during the dwapara yuga.
