When people made attempts to verify these stories, Bade Baba usually admonished them, stating that such details are important only to curiosity-seekers. After arriving here on this Earth plane, Bhagawan Nityananda spent several years in the South Kanara district in Quilandy. From there, he moved about quite a bit mostly on foot and by train , making his way deep into the Himalayas and staying for a time in places such as Quilandy, Sri Lanka, Burma, Kanhangad, Kumbla, Gokarna, Udipi, Calicut, Mangalore, Manjeshwar, coastal Karnataka and Vajreshwari.

Later he settled in Ganeshpuri, at the foot of the majestic Mandakini Mountain near the Bhimeshwar temple, surrounded by rolling hills, lush fields and hot springs. At the time he first went to Ganeshpuri it was still a jungle, practically uninhabitable, except for such a sage. Nearby the home of Chathu Nair and his wife, Unniamma, there was a temple dedicated to Ayyappa.

Both frequented this temple often. On one particular evening, there was a huge storm in the village.
