People came with unbearable suffering.He would simply gesture—a nod, a glance—and their ailments vanished.Sometimes he gives fresh water in a coconut shell to the diseased, and sometimes he asks them to walk around a coconut tree. Sometimes he touched them. The cure was instant, yet mysterious. His routine was to sit beneath a pipal tree in the afternoon to heal people.

Saint in the Forest of Ramareddy Kulam

Saint Bade Saheb travelled to ‘Ramareddy Kulam’. After walking through the village, he found a dense forest area with a pond – he started living there. As time passed, the word spread that there is an ‘AtmaGyani’ residing in the forest.

One day, a physically challenged boy came and stayed with him. After days of devotion, the boy walked again—completely healed.

After this incident, all the villagers started believing that Saint Bade Saheb can cure all diseases; the Saint used to cure the diseases using specific forest leaves, Vibuthi, or by simply placing his hand on their head.

Tales of greatness

The Mystic of the River

The saint began his day in Brahma Muhurtam, diving deep into the river and disappearing from sight. With extraordinary control over his breath and the Dasha Vayus, he seemed to move beyond the physical world, often becoming invisible to those around him.

Devotion in Mantakapattu

In the village of Mantakapattu, devoted followers like Govinda Reddy, Chinnaswamy Wadayar, and Sadashiva Pattar served him with deep reverence. Govinda Reddy would respectfully walk beside the saint’s horse as they visited nearby villages, where people gathered for his silent blessings—after which prosperity was said to follow.

Healing Powers and Miracles

The Night of Transformation

One night, as the saint rested in Yoganidra at Govinda Reddy’s home, thieves entered to steal paddy. Suddenly, the saint appeared in countless forms all around them. Overwhelmed by his compassionate gaze, the thieves repented, returned everything, and transformed their lives through honest work.

Mr. Reddy made a small hut in the backyard of his house for the Saint, where the Saint stayed for 18 years, healing people with spiritually charged vibhuti. Despite this, he continued to search for a place for his final samadhi.

He was often seen at both the hut and Ramareddy Kulam at the same time, deepening the mystery of his divine presence and leaving behind stories of faith, transformation, and silent grace.

The Cobra’s Liberation

A cobra once bit the saint. In the morning, the Saint’s body had turned blue, in this state he headed to the nearby Ganesha temple and paid his Pranams to Vinayaka in absolute sincerity – he had completely surrendered and immersed himself within Lord Ganesha,  Instead of harm, the snake later returned, The cobra came near the Saint and encircled him thrice and drank back the poison from the place where he had bit the Saint – after which the cobra also encircled the Vinayaka shrine thrice and glanced at all the people who were surrounded. The cobra then crawled, sat on the Saint’s head, and raised its hood, after which the snake came down and bowed its head and sat near the Saint, gazing at him. He peacefully died at Saint’s feet—attaining liberation.

The Flowing River

When a flooded river blocked villagers on their way to a wedding, the saint stepped into the waters. The raging current calmed instantly, lowering to knee level, allowing everyone to cross safely. The astounded villagers passed one by one with their bullock carts – after they crossed the river, the Saint saw the river again, and it was flooded with deep waters as it was before; this completely shook the people, and they felt that the river was doing a Pranam to the Saint. They then offered their Pranams to the Saint – this shows that those who attain the state of silence are sure to reach Nirvana.

The Healing Command

A group of men brought a paralyzed boy before him. Instead of blessing, the saint chased everyone away with a stick. In fear, the boy ran—only to realize he was healed. He, along with the group of men, came back and offered their Pranams to the Saint. The saint had the power to drive away hostile forces.

Incident with children

Saint once asked children to dig a pit nearby and close it after he went inside, the children, did the same; however, they became scared and started crying after a while since they couldn’t hear any sound from inside the pit. Suddenly, the Saint’s hand showed up with chocolates for the children, they took them and merrily ran to the villagers.

Jeevasamadhi

The Saint got a revelation from the Divine, that his ‘Atma sadhana’ is over and it is the time to unify with the Divine. Then like earlier times, he again asked the children nearby to dig a pit in the mud, which he entered into; the Saint instructed the children to close the pit when he got inside and then open their hands after closing the pit. Children did not understand the seriousness of the situation, and closed the pit and then they opened their hands later – they found chocolates. The Jeevasamadhi is demarcated on 12^th Feb 1868 AD.

The Miracle of the Returning Horse

Days later, his devoted disciple Bombay Swamy wished to build a tomb in his honor. He sold his horse for Rs. 100 to a wealthy man. But strangely, the horse returned to him the very same night. This happened not once, but three times. Each time, the horse found its way back—almost as if guided by unseen hands. With this miraculous money, Bombay Swamy finally built the saint’s resting place.

The Eternal Samadhi

This tomb is constructed in an octagonal dimension with the Saint’s photo inside, there is a surrounding area filled with trees where people can encircle the samadhi. A lamp burns there continuously—unfazed by rain or strong winds. Once, when the oil was about to run out, Saint appeared in the dream of a person who was lying nearby to re-fill the oil.

Shiva Linga at Temple

There was a stone called ‘Nishtadharyam (i.e., untouched by any sculptor)’, around 2000 feet below the Himalayas, which is a beautiful  Shiva Linga’ brought by the Saint Bade Saheb; this is now located near his Jeevasamadhi. This Shiva Linga, along with an admirable ‘Vigneshwara’ idol, is creating an atmosphere of grace near his Jeevasamadhi.

Guru Pooja

Every year on the day of Guru pooja, many people offer rice, dal, oil etc to the temple which is prepared and offered to the nearby villagers. Sometimes, people also offer cooked rice in the cauldron kept in front of the temple.

Legacy of Grace Even in silence, the saint continues to guide, bless, and protect. His samadhi is not just a resting place—it is a living presence, where faith, miracles, and devotion meet.
