He was famous for his power of command on mantras. He is credited to have seen Lord Sri Lakshmi Narasimha and converse with Him. He has meditated on the 32 syllable Sri Narasimha Maha manthram, many times and had the power of that. He had alleviated the problems of many in his life time and now also many are relieved of their problems by visiting this Brindavanam and going round 16 times with mouth chanting his divine name. This Brindavanam is nearly 100 years old. Many light ghee lamps and offer sarkkarai pongal [சர்க்கரைப் பொங்கல் ] on Thursdays. Swami Parashara Bhatta has determined that the Divine names from 1st to 122nd, are about the First Level of the Lord. It is called the Para roopam. We know the Lord exhibits Himself in Five levels, namely:

1. PARA

Gyana and Shakti in Sankarshana, Balam and Aiswarya in Pradhyumna and Veerya and Tejas in Aniruddha are seen. In Vasudeva all these Six qualities are exhibited. Vibhava forms are all the Lord's various Avatars. Hartha or Antaryami is the Lord's residence in our hearts. Archa is the Lord in various temples.
