Once, in Menasagi village, near Gadag, a few devotees were reading the Jaimini Bharatha in a temple. During their talk, they remembered that Sri Brahmanada guruji had not visited their place since a long time. So, they thought of visiting Venkatapur themselves to see him. But, with in half an hour, even while they were sitting there, they were pleasantly surprised when Sri Guruji himself went there. They all bowed down to him. Sri Brahmanand told them, “A little while ago, when you remembered me, I was on my way to Kannur from Yavagal .with a few persons. I sent them directly, and came here intending to go to Kannur later. They were all very happy and each asked him to visit their house. But Sri Guruji went to Tammanna Rao’s house and asked him to invite others to next day’s Pooja and Mahaprasad. Later, he started to go to Kannur. But, the devotees wanted to send him in a bullock cart. So, after searching they could find only a cart and a pair of new untrained bullocks. The other trained bullocks being taken to the farms at that time. So, they instructed the cart-man to go slowly and carefully as the bullocks were untrained.
After leaving the village, Sri Guruji asked the cart-man to sit behind and took the rein himself. Asking the cart-man to hold him-self strongly, started to drive the bullocks in a high speed. Bullocks started to run and in no time they reached the destination. Soon after reaching the place, he paid the cart-man with extra money to get the bullocks grains as they had a hard work.
Sri Brahmanand Maharaj was very receptive to the difficulties and problems of the devotees; helped and guided them at the time of their need always instructing them to chant Ram-nam.
When the construction work of Sri Venkatapur Mandir was in progress, Sri Brahmanand Maharaj was in urgent need of money. So, he sent Sri Tirukambatt to Sri Chidambara Bhatta of Chkka Handigola, asking him a sum of Rupees One thousand, stating that it will be returned in a month. Sri chidambara bhatt , as he had no ready cash, gave some jewels to Sri Tirukambatt. However, after some days he began to worry whether he would get back the Jewels. Sri Tirukambat gave to Sri Brahmanand Maharaj. The construction of the Mandir progressed. However, Sri Chidambara Bhat’s worrying about the jewels increased, and finally, one morning, he told himself that if Sri Brahmanand Maharaj was really an avatar, as people believed, he will get back his jewels with in two or three days.
Sri Brahmanand Maharaj was in a camp in a village near Gadag. He called Sri Tirukambat and gave him the jewels. As the money for the construction was adjusted, he asked him to go to Chikka Handigola and return the jewels to Sri Chidambara Bhat. Sri Chidambara Bhat was shocked to find his jewels returned on the same day of his determination. He felt very bad for doubting such a divine person as Sri Brahmanand Maharaj.
