विरहंस्तेन कृष्णेन बालकक्ष्च दिने दिने |

The child used to play with the moorti in great joy. He stopped attending the school. The child used to playfully perform the Pooja of Shri Krishna daily. As a result, the Lord of the bhaktas, Shri Krishna came into his fold. On the banks of river Cauvery, the lisping young child learnt all dharmas from Shri Krishna, the Universal Preceptor. In a short time, because of the boundless mercy of Shri Krishna, that small boy became the best of all those who could understand the essence of all Shastras. Reaching adolescence, that boy started practicing yoga, taking Shri Krishna to be his guru, and learning yoga dharma from Him. Because of the grace of Lord Shri Krishna, he became an oordhvaretas. He was not interested in sense pleasures. He had complete control of the senses and had subdued all desires. Like Bhagavan Sadi Shankar, he too took to the Sanyasi with all rituals getting the permission of his mother. His mother, who had no thought other than of her son, expired in due course. Her son became very famous in the world and was known as Aanandagiri Yogi. The wise man, followed the paramahamsa dharma. That great yogi, who was a gnat roamed about the world like a lunatic, blockhead and a spirit.
