Attracted by the melody and sweetness of the song, he travelled to abodes of Lord Muruga in Tamil Nadu and Sri Lanka. With the blessings of Seshadri Swamigal, he   finally settled in Vallimalai and taught  Tiruppugal to Lord Murugan’s devotees.  Because of his devotion people called him Satchidananda Swamigal of Vallimalai He used to visit  The Thiruthani  Murugan  often.
