In 1944, a young boy met him. His name was Sethuraman. One day when his family had gone to Palzani, the boy Sethu was told to stay in Madras with the SwamigaL. The SwamigaL told him the Thiruppugalz hymn, 'madhiyaal viththaganaagi' and that was his upadEsam. Later on, Sethuraman became an aruL kavi and took up sannyasam from Parthasarathi SwamigaL of Vaishnavi Temple. He became Swami Sadhu Ram. By that time, Parthasarathi himself had become a sannyasi.

In the year 1950, after the SwamigaL had incorporated his everything into Vaishnavi of Then Thiru Mullai Vaayil, he went to ThiruththaNi and made his customery worship on the Brahmotsavam with the offering of a thirumaanggalyam and pottu on the eighth day - VaLLi ThirumaNam.

Then he went to Thiruvaarur, where there had been no rain for many months and a famine resulted.

As he was fragile, he sent his disciples to the sannidhi where a thousand and two hundred years ago, Sundaramurthi Nayanar had sang his famous hymn, 'miiLaa adimai' and asked the disciples to sing that hymn there. Then he told them to sing the Thiruvaaruur Thiruppugalz song, 'karamu muLariyin' at the sannidhi of Murugan. Before the singing ended, rain clouds gathered and it rained heavily for the whole night. The SwamigaL was staying in an old dilapidated house and in the heavy downpour it was in a state of collapse. But somehow, it stayed intact and the SwamigaL was safe.

When Maharishi Ramanar was very ill, the Swamigal started for ThiruvaNNaamalai. On the way, he was almost run over by a train carriage. But suddenly he was saved miraculously.

Precisely at that moment, the soul of the Maharishi departed.

Everyone saw a brilliant light which traversed the sky.

The SwamigaL stayed in Thiruvannaamalai until the samaadhi kriyas were over. Thus he paid his last respects to the Maharshi who had been his guide who guided him to his own Guru - Seshadri SwamigaL. And also corrected his Thiruppugalz singing and instructed about its meanings to the SwamigaL who was only semiliterate at that time.

When he reached Madras, he performed the Mokshah Diipam, Mandalaabhishekam, anna dhaanam, and Thiruppugalz paaraayaNam for the Maharishi, in the Kachchaaliisvarar Temple.
